While you’re right conceptually, this isn’t what the wording means in terms of consent dialogs. Legitimate interest means they can assume, legitimately, that you have an interest in aspects of the site (by you being there) that require X cookies, basically. Ie their product is providing functionality they can assume you’re interested in just by being there, and they’re “pre approving” the tracking/storage for that functionality.

I concur that it’s rubbish and used almost always in a manner that reeks of illegitimacy.

I personally refuse live coding sessions during interviews, including whiteboard programming. If they require this during an interview the company’s not for me.

Don’t mind code challenges where I have a timeframe and can submit. It’s not how you code normally so why should it be how you’re hired?

I have 2 sisters.. We talk and game almost daily. We’re super close.

These other responses are honestly quite shocking.

Ah Gentlemen Bastards.. now there’s a rabbit hole with a spike pit at the bottom.

I’ve had a Fully for over a year now, and it’s killer. Great build quality and it looks special. Doesn’t seem to struggle under my triple monitor setup with several laptops on the table at the same time.

Only problem is that they stopped shipping to several European countries, like Finland.

While I agree with some of the premises here, I personally disagree that comments are even mostly a problem (a code smell). IMO they’re just as often bad as code is. A developer in a rush, or simply not taking enough care in their work, can produce both bad code and bad comments.

Perhaps someone who is trying to take care can do more harm in the comments area, when they should be perhaps looking at writing self documenting code, but in my experience they usually go hand in hand.

I use quite a lot of comments in my code and I wouldn’t regard it as code smell or even messy. I often use comments to logically separate more complex sections of functionality.. or discussing how it works and why it’s necessary to exist in the first place. Code can’t always tell you why it’s there..

I also use docblocks in some libraries, even though types are available, as the published package benefits from having an API document published alongside it. The comments there facilitate its construction.

I know this article wasn’t bashing every use of comments in code but I feel like it didn’t account for all the positive uses of them either. Teaching developers that a language feature is just mostly bad is irresponsible - we should be encouraging good comment use alongside clear code.

I mean, fair enough, right? If you modify CS2 binaries you get banned.. this is how some of the protections work and have worked for a while. I’m surprised AMD thought that this was acceptable.

It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here..

I second this. Very good quality reviews, and enjoyable to watch. Ended up getting a Miyoo Mini + based upon his review..

What did you upgrade to? I’m also still on a 1070 and dreading the upgrade. Thinking AMD 7000 series though.

We have this in Scandinavia.. I wonder if it’s related?

By your powers combined

Yep.. need to see a Github or repo or OpenCollective or something that instils trust. If you’re asking for donations imo, it should be open source so people can see where the funds might be going (eg. Hosting).

Asking for money expecting blind faith is.. kind of rude. If you expect someone to go to the trouble of donating put in some modicum of effort in at least writing a few paragraphs on what it is you’re doing.

Every game ever? I’ve seen a collection of all known Roms from just PlayStation 1 back and it was well over 10TB. Rubbish title 😅

I’m just getting Batocera setup on an old kiosk PC.. seems to be able to handle Dreamcast games too. Going to be a busy gaming weekend!

Who the fuck is Ana de Arm? /s

I see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see..

I must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.

I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.

Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.

You never realise just how much you’ve got running, connected, “organised” before shutting everything down and moving it.

I’m switching rooms so my daughter gets the larger bedroom, and the rack has to go as I’m downsizing. I’m the meantime before I sell the 36U monster I’ve got to stack everything on the floor. Oof 😅

Excretions, movements and examinations (tweets, threads and quotes)

Thanks! That’s great to hear.

Not related to your initial issue.. but a quick question as it appears you might have already figured out a lot regarding hosting your own instance.

Do you know if you can lock it down so that only you have an account on the instance? I’d like to run my own but I’d want membership locked so I just use the instance to federate content.

Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.

I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc.. but definitely encrypt before upload imo.

Pardon the naivety on my part, but can/will this support kbin?

Absolutely goddamn pitiful. Fuck Reddit.

Paywall :(

I’ve seen this and it’s disappointing, but I’d sooner stop using the website than I would Firefox.

On the contrary however the certificate authority I use only grants certificates to Firefox or Safari browsers.. so there’s that.

Yep. Did this with Buttercup Password Manager. Default should be the most intuitive, ie supporting the most users without needing to change any settings.

I run a second Unraid server with a couple of backup-related applications, as well as Duplicati. I have my main server network mounted and run scheduled jobs to both copy data from the main pool to the backup pool, as well as to Backblaze. Nice having the on-site backup as well as the cloud based.

I occasionally burn to 100gb blurays as well for the physical backup.

Yes.. not a social network is it? Rubbish title this one.

Exactly. You’re being fed HTML etc and then deciding how to render it (or part of it in the case of ad blocking). This isn’t piracy. There’s no rules that come with the HTML in terms of how to render it. Different browsers can render it a number of different ways so how is not rendering part of it any different?

It is indeed a ludicrous idea.

I’ve used it for years, it’s solid. Mostly good quality and some very reliable uploaders.

The more movies they release (Prometheus, Covenant, AVP etc) the better Resurrection looks imo. I feel like the original 4 are all great when stacked against the newer films in the genre. Agree that the skin alien sucked, however.

Have been running my main box off the same USB for a couple of years without issue. Decided to not boot again after restarting today.. wouldn’t even show up on another machine.

I’ve never had one fail on me so it was a new experience. Didn’t like having to log my box into lime-tech but it seems it was required. At least the license exchange went someone easily and then it decided it had to do a parity check so I’m offline for even longer. Thankfully I had a backup of the USB from only a few days prior.. good lesson right here!

Looks like Helsinki trams.. some sections of their lines are quite beautiful in spring/summer.

ActivityPub is from W3C and is an open protocol for anyone to use. No one to target there legally speaking. It’s up to the consumers of the protocol to reject and defederate.

Hario’s cold brew bottles are amazing. I’ve been using mine for years and it’s exception.. and crazy easy.

I’d highly recommend these - they’re not all strictly electronic but I feel there’s overlap at least:

• Sasha - Scene Delete
• Jon Hopkins - Immunity
• Daniel Avery - Drone Logic
• Bonobo - Black Sands
• BT - This Binary Universe
• Boards of Canada - Tomorrow’s Harvest
• Hugo Kant - Far From Home
• Bicep - Bicep
• Sub Focus - Sub Focus

Bonobo spans genres but he’s probably my favourite artist right now. His Late Night Tales entry (not electronic) was one of the best albums I’ve ever heard.
