I’m more concerned about scalability. Hosting video gets expensive pretty quickly once people start signing up and using it.

Lol I know the feeling. Sometimes I just say “Oh we already use your product…mind if I grab those socks?”.

“free” for me. My job has conference/training budget that is use-it-or-lose-it, so might as well go for it. You can also talk your way through getting swag without giving up your contact details, or just provide fake ones.

The only other type of clothing with clear, visible branding I own aside from band shirts is tech vendor shirts from conferences. But those I get for free, so I didn’t exactly pay to become their billboard.

Storage costs is the biggest hurdle for decentralized video platforms. I wonder how instances will handle that.

Getting the BTS fanbase to switch platforms is huge and can essentially get you millions of users in an instant. I wish Mastodon was in the picture though.

I just use Audacious with a winamp skin. Looks identical but actually FOSS.

Startpage gives you the same google results, minus the AI responses.

Gotta ask some of my coworkers if they were one of the participants in the survey.

You can respond with a message included. If I see the location as a physical room and not a zoom link, I accept/tentative and add a comment that I won’t be at the office on that day/time and if we can do it online instead.

Yeah, that’s what the meeting invite RSVP is for.

The thing with climate change is, like science, it’s true whether you believe it or not. I’ve seen those types of comments as well because I follow some news pages and I honestly don’t even bother engaging. The people who have the time to go on comment sections of news articles like that are never going to be convinced otherwise.

Right? “Oh here’s an ad of our service that you are already subscribed to and actively using right now”.

I was gonna say they still need the fob for the car to actually drive it, but saw it mentioned in the article. I don’t have a Kia (used to, but traded it in because of the immobilizer shit), but my car right now has an app to remote-start, but the car itself won’t let you drive it if you don’t have the fob on you while sitting in the driver’s seat.

The group’s web-based Kia hacking technique doesn’t give a hacker access to driving systems like steering or brakes, nor does it overcome the so-called immobilizer that prevents a car from being driven away, even if its ignition is started. It could, however, have been combined with immobilizer-defeating techniques popular among car thieves or used to steal lower-end cars that don’t have immobilizers.

But yes, that’s just bad security.

It’s gossip, just online. Gossip has been a human past time ever since language was created.

I’m talking out of my ass, but your data is likely still there whether you choose to create an account or not; so you’re still susceptible to data breaches either way.

The blindfold on lady justice has a rich-people filter.

There’s a caveat: That statement only applies to a house that’s designed to only have 2 viable doors.

Posting thoughts on social media in the form of words is an action.
