If you’ve found your way to the technology community on a federated lemmy instance, youre techy enough to take the blame for using chromium

Sure. But you cant pretend that its some super secret that only non corpos know about and be surprised when the tech who makes the inspection knows what to look for
I have no problems with teams. Not sure why everyone hates it. If youre already in an AD/Azure environment and use 365 I dont see why you wouldnt use it.
You’re also on lemmy. You might be old, but you are also technically literate. Im not saying PM is bad, I used it myself for ages until I decided to set up my own domain for business reasons so moved to fastmail.
Its just for the type of oldies who use ISP provided mail dont like the change of leaving the ios default mail app to go to the protonmail app
Proton isnt great for oldies. You cant use default email apps and the like without a bridge, and last I checked they arent available for mobile or Chromebooks, which means they would have to use the first party app. Thats just another change thats not worth it for oldies who dont like change.
Also migrating away from protonmail is a nightmare. You cant when set a “forward all” rule.
I admire protons ethos, but the UX sucks.
An older family member of mine rang yesterday asking about what to do after they read the announcement.
I have been telling them for years to change to a proper provider but they weren’t interested. I told them this would eventually happen, but the change wasnt worth the hassle for them.
Now the change is forced and its just increased the stress.
Im hoping the prospect of only being a year for free then ad based means I can just get them onto fastmail or something that I can administer.
Im sure people do see these ads, and its definitely starting to go a bit far, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how. Ive never seen anything like this using multiple personal and work windows machines for ~10+ hours a day, every day.
Work makes sense, I believe its a couple of GPOs, but even at home when I boot a fresh image I tick like 3 boxes and just never see any ads.
The only situation I can think of is prebuilt machines and laptops with preloaded configurations that people dont bother to change, but even then im pretty sure 5 minutes in settings will sort it out.
I love a good single malt, but im not a fan of laphroig. Too peaty.
Sips, a drop of water or two, with a good quality single malt or an extremely good quality blend (nothing Johnny Walker for example). Depending on the Scotch there can be Smokey caramel flavours, peaty salty, heavy flavours, some lite fruit tones, etc.
Its not for knocking back in shots, blends are nice with mixers, but if youre sipping a Johnny Walker red you are probably going to think this is shit because it is.
If you ever get the chance to try a really nice single malt I suggest you give it a try with just a couple of drops of water to open it up a bit. Then some gentle sips, enough to coat your mouth and spread the flavours.
Its like a nice cigar. Very rough if youre doing it wrong, very enjoyable if you do it right. I know most people will say “yuck, cigars are gross too”, but the point is that there is a way to approach these things that make them much more enjoyable to the point where people genuinely like them and the routine that goes with it.
I dont know why anyone would leave chrome and land on something like brave.
If youre ditching chrome, which you should, go to an actual different browser and use Firefox.
I wouldnt call it single player
There is an obscene amount of content. The voice acting alone would take up an exceptional amount of space when you consider how many choices for pretty much every character/animal/whatever else there are.
The same can be said about pretty much every infrastructure project on the planet though. Earthquakes, cyclones, hurricanes, tornados, floods, droughts, etc can all take down power grids of all types.
They all need maintenance, and the benefit of solar is that you can spend more on maintenance because you dont have to pay for incoming energy for processing.
No project is flawless, but maintain a grid of anodes and shooing away birds has definite benefits over digging up coal or uranium, or pumping oil and gas all over the place.
We cant let perfect be the enemy of good.
Luckily there is still enough left over to poison the population with high fructose corn syrup
Funnily enough, having cattle on that land only further fucks it up by causing erosion that can take decades to resopve even after the cattle is removed.
Definitely not the right scenario for tor. If you dont care about your privacy and just want to see some titty boombom Fanny maracas then even the cheapest VPN would be a better experience.
Really though a decent VPN should something everyone has access to though anyway.
Of course. This would fall under the “responsible for your own maintenance” part.
Im not saying its suitable for everyone, just pointing out the benefits if self hosting
I would say the benefits are control of downtime. Hosting your own instance makes you responsible for your maintenance. If you maintain your own and federate with other instances, you still have an experience if another instance goes down, you just wont see that particular content. If you use someone elses instance as your “home” instance and it goes down, your account goes down with it.
The only points of potential issues with self hosting are if the activitypub protocol itself goes down, or something to do with your own instance such as going down itself or becoming defederated.
We are in danger of losing things though. Sure, we arent going to lose super mario all stars, or any of the Tony Hawk series, but thats not the point behind providing legal protections.
Policy vacuums cause issues. There needs to be legal frameworks in place to properly protect media, as we have already addressed for other types of media. Having them accessible via piracy doesnt achieve the same goals, let alone protect rare/niche/alternate versions/prototypes/otherwise currently unwanted stuff
How’s that been working out?
