I live in the PNW. I picked an instance in the PNW. Sometimes I see local news, and often I read comments from people within a few hour drive. It’s nice to have a small, local community here, while still having access to the rest of the world together. So I guess recommend picking the largest instance in your region if you don’t have any other preferences.
Someone who was filmed screaming and crying during the announcement (maybe inauguration, can’t remember which now) of the 45th president of the US
Literally just went through getting the app built /deployed for my parents and my partner’s parents using the old method a few weeks ago. I’m super glad the app is on the app store, but it’s just bad timing for me lol
You don’t have to give them your password, and GrapheneOS has a convenient feature to turn off biometric unlock for only unlocking the phone, but still lets you use it in apps
I use arch (btw) on my personal machine because I hate myself, but on my servers and the computers of people I move off of Windows I always install Debian and KDE/Gnome, for simplicity and stability.
That’s the lovely thing about open source: if this ruins blender, the community at large can pivot and fork blender to allow it to thrive in the way the community wants it. In small projects this type of pivot can ruin the momentum of a project, but in large-scale projects they are a lot safer.
Nah, those two cannot be used synonymously. They mean different things, and one is predatory and problematic, the other is not.
Jabba, Pizza, Sunglass. Easy peasy
Was gonna say, I’ve definitely seen his channel before
I didn’t, but I didn’t look too hard. I wasn’t really expecting it to work
Yeah, doesn’t work on GrapheneOS either, bummer
Yup. All my IoT devices are on a network that doesn’t have access to the internet. To control remotely, I use a VPN. Even though I don’t think it’s technically necessary, I take the precaution of blocking connections to the big company’s APIs/websites for all my IoT devices, just in case.
I wish this were easier for the layman to do. Some companies like Unifi make it pretty painless, but they are expensive and it’s really hard for the non-networking-savvy folks to know exactly which devices you need from them to have a working setup.
I agree with the fact that they aren’t a great company, but anyone who’s shopped around for skins/decals knows that dbrand is a cut above the rest in terms of quality. I’ve stopped buying from them due to how they run things, though.
Unfortunately yes. I never watched it, but I read the synopsis and it introduces the mineshaft and the guy with the briefcase. Pretty stupid move on their part, because I don’t actually know many people who even knew the stage play existed, even among pretty big fans of the show
Buddy I think you missed a large portion of the plot if you think the Abyss is “in” the Upside Down.
Yes the Upside Down was created by scientists, but as a wormhole connecting two separate locations: a planet called the Abyss, and Hawkins. Abyss is no more “in” the Upside Down than Hawkins is. Also, they don’t insinuate many times that El or her sister’s power comes from tapping into the hivemind, only Will’s. El’s comes from having Henry’s blood in her, and now we know that that blood comes with a portion of the mutation that Henry recieved after touching the stone in the briefcase. After the mindflayer dies, Will never uses his power again.
The guy with the briefcase and the mineshaft is surprisingly from a canon stage play called The First Shadow that covers Henry’s childhood, but considering this is the first time he’s shown in the TV show, it does feel like a random convenient plot device. I think they should have had the stage play become an episode in season 5 so we knew Henry’s backstory a bit better.
This is shocking to me. I’ve got a success rate of maybe 20%, the other times it will search the web for something, list a top option that’s completely unrelated to my search while the app with the the exact same name as the term I searched is right below it. Granted that second one is fine-ish, but I’m used to Linux where muscle memory gas me pressing enter as soon as I’ve typed what I want, and if I do that on windows it starts the wrong app.
Are you kitten me right meow??
While I agree, it’s a pretty lame thing to say “This doesn’t work for your use case? That’s because your use case is wrong” If the distro doesn’t support PIA, then that is an issue with the distro, not the user.
Still increases footprint/grants more credibility to the Fediverse, which I think is a good thing. It just won’t really impact the daily experience here
