Same, this is sad news. I’ll probably end up hosting an instance myself on 1984.is but I wasn’t wanting to deal with the hassle.

I access everything over VPN and access Lemmy primarily through Mlem — I’d forgotten that the “Hot” sorting even existed.

Oh well, what else is new? Better to self-host your own services.

This is a tough one. One way I sort of get around this is I buy the discs (if international) or rent them (domestic), but it’s probably so new and exclusive that it hasn’t been released on any rippable media.

I actually still crack up whenever I see unhinged.

Mine is till instead of ’til to mean until and a in “two times a year” instead of per. I still say “two times a year” myself but when writing it looks so unprofessional and I always notice it in news publications.

I don’t why but the fact this is on YouTube seems hypocritical but I can’t put my finger on it.

I don’t know, I still see a lot of people not knowing this. I’ve seen iPhone users get confused when I use Safari to go to a website rather than the Google app on their phone.

It’s really a shame because you just know that that Google app is just spyware.

I think it’s a CSS issue. Word wrapping won’t break apart the amount because it’s considered one “word.”

There are ways to address it though.

While working in fast food working as a manager I had a store manager that would cuss you out, but one thing I loved about her is I would cuss back and explain myself to which she’d be like “oh, that makes sense.”

I don’t have a great answer but I’m sure most modern browsers have locked down their address bar (and bookmarks) enough that it’s not possible without enabling developer features.

I don’t think I’d make that information public were I in their shoes. Wouldn’t that be a hint for anyone attempting to crack them?

I’m explaining why I’m a programmer for some context why I’m interested in technology, not to argue that all programmers hate gaming.

I was replying against the smug “you must’ve been born in the 2000s” comment. I’m arguing that not everyone is into gaming just because this is a technology community, and to maybe drop the attitude because someone isn’t cOoL like them because they were born earlier. 🙄

I noticed you linked to a news source and it reminds me how close to impossible it is find information directly from the government unless you’re wiling to go to some homepage and click 16 trillion times, and hopefully you’re blocking third-party scripts because for some reason AdSense is loaded on every fucking page.

If you already have an account, after login there will be like 16 alerts (“flash” alerts in Ruby on Rails speak) and if you’re lucky maybe one is relevant to you.

I was born in the late 1980s, can I know what it is?

Edit: Looks like a game. Are we assuming everyone in a technology community cares about video games? I’m a programmer but can’t get into video games at all.

I think the part you’re missing (and others haven’t addressed) is that you don’t send 100% of your traffic to one endpoint (much like how most use VPNs). You can route different things to different places.

For example, I’m in the US and have two Tailscale exit nodes. Both are located on VPS machines in the US, but one sends traffic down a double-hop VPN back out into the US, the other does the same but to Switzerland. My “default” route is through Switzerland (better privacy laws) but I am forced to route some things through the US exit node due to websites that won’t work outside the US. For my personal devices, traffic routes directly to them via WireGuard tunnels.

In addition, my wife doesn’t care about blocking everything that I do (social media, tracking) but her phone still needs to update sensors in Home Assistant. She can choose not to use the exit nodes but can still communicate with our nodes on Tailscale. She also uses it to print documents at home from her laptop while she’s at work.

Recently I was waiting in a hospital with public (unsafe) WiFi that blocked UDP traffic, but Tailscale does some magic that will relay traffic via TLS. I was able to access services at home with a 20ms latency. The tech is very, very nice to have.

I wonder how this works in other countries because I know it’s normal to do (what we call) ACH-to-ACH transfers.

I’m actually all for speeding up ACH and using it more often (rather than P2P transfers apps), but you raise a valid concern here.

Mint Mobile only works on T-Mobile. I’m wanting something that works on both. My wife is still on T-Mobile, and whenever we travel our state one when one of us has no signal, the other does. I’d like an MVNO that can automatically switch between the two.

Google Fi supports this but last I heard it doesn’t work on iPhone.

So yeah, I’m the opposite: I have high expectations if I’m going to switch.

I was a T-Mobile customer for awhile and am on AT&T now. In my region it’s always one or the other with the best coverage.

I was going to switch to Boost Infinite right before they became Boost. Still trying to figure out if Boost will work on AT&T, Boost, T-Mobile networks like Boost Infinite did because if they do, smell ya later (kinda) AT&T!

I’ll have to do more research on this. She’s in good standing with management but for some reason they’re giving her a super difficult time about taking medically necessary time off. We fear they might even try to fire her, so having evidence would be nice.

Yeah, I should’ve checked this out before posting. I’m not sure whether they’ve disabled that or not.
