The white Arris device on top is a cable modem (unless you mean something else)

Oh so hilarious! Next time I’ll be sure to keep my mouth shut to avoid offending the fragile carnists; obviously their feelings, their “health conditions” and their taste for flesh matter so much more than animals’ lives.

Byyyyyye 👋

I used to love Dairy Queen until I went vegan. Now they can go fuck themselves for supporting an industry that rapes and abuses animals.

Yeah, that would be pretty fantastic. But at least in the US just take a look at ACH.

Which is hilarious because Atlassian sites (yes, even the white label ones) look like shit.

I used to have a manager who’d tell you to do exactly what you were already doing in the moment. Like if you were sweeping she’d say something like “hey, could you sleep the floor?”

I agree with all of this but I’ll add that email and SMS-based 2FA needs to disappear. It’s not secure, it’s time-consuming and we should be using Passkeys by now.

I’m a web developer that blocks Google and I push for this at work a lot — let’s serve our assets from our own server! — can’t stand the bullshit either.

How about an :empty CSS selector that works even if there’s some white space in the element’s inner HTML?

FIDO2, Passkeys or whatever you want to call Webauthn.

Seriously I’m so burned out on glitchy forms that can’t even get the most basic username, password fields right and want to fight autocomplete all day, and I don’t want SMS-based 2FA or the absolute worst, “mAgIC LiNKs.” 🥴

Fuck.

There’s always some awesome banking startups that have incredible features but then they get bought out after a few years.

At this point I almost want to work on an “open bank” concept and release it into the world for free so that new banks actually start off with great features. 😆

Maybe when it comes to social issues but when I read OP’s post I think of climate change and how it seems to be worsening at an increasing pace.

I kind of very much dislike this line of thinking. Debian and Ubuntu are full of shit and cause an astronomical amount of bloat when containerized or running in production on a server.

I switched to Alpine quite a long time ago and run it on servers, in containers and on my own networking equipment. I don’t miss Debian’s slow as hell updates nor Ubuntu’s Microsoft-style bloat.

I have to deal with all this cruft a lot at work and I always ask myself “why?” It’s super frustrating, it slows everything down and after sprinkling in more “we don’t care about efficiency” attitudes you suddenly find yourself trying to deploy 15GB containers.

We should aim to do better.

Are you referring to mealie-recipes/mealie?

Is that why my fake news and/or conspiracy/conservative blocklists block CBS News? I wasn’t sure but I just let it continue to be blocked.

Well you kind of fucked that up by not filtering posts by their content. This could’ve been easily avoided by adding these keywords:

• liberals
• Trump

I think this is very interesting! I’d love to check it out sometime.

I figured as much but I thought I might still try to help anyone reading.

I use Home Assistant as my “main” smart home server then have HomeKit on iOS, macOS connect to it.

You don’t need Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft involved at all if you don’t want to. In fact, with Matter it’s easier than ever to get away from Big Tech.

It helps to VPN into a jurisdiction that requires the “decline all” button if you’re not already in one. But also it helps to have an insane amount of DNS blocklists and/or a strong ad blocker.

At this point I just hide the cookie banners whenever possible.
