Oh they most definitely do. I briefly worked at a company that sold data to car flippers and we for sure knew if any particular car was ever used as a taxi or not. Even if we didn’t buy this data off taxi company directly, we could easily determine it by seeing unusually high mileage between services and checkups. And we definitely know the identity of the driver, so it’s just a matter of putting 2+2 together.

I know a place where they still do this. They’ve got an 8-digit user count, 7 digit monthly profits, all running on one server that costs something like $20 a month. They’ve downsized a few years ago to single-digit employee number and just sit there and collect profits. And this is why I’m now working for a company that casually dropped a few grand for a glorified CPU usage meter and a few grand on top of that for deployment tool that does the same thing that the old guy at a former place was doing with his trusty FTP client.

Get framework. It has 6 type-c ports, each of which you can breakout into something like 10 ports with usb hubs.

I don’t think that’s related. It’s more about why america loves pickups so much while the rest of the world doesn’t. But the SUV epidemic is actually global.

Just the other day I threw a brick into a car window that had a Z sticker on it. Sue me.

Is logitech still not allowing you full customization with presets saved on mouse itself? I’d expect that from the cheapest noname 5-button mouse on the shelf, not logiteck, I thought they got their shit together already given how much praise they usually get.

It’s probably because something your instance admins did. For me it didn’t show up either, so i looked at the link:

https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fi2IzTtY.png

And it responded with 429 “Too many requests”

But the url is clearly pointing to imgur, why the middle-man? Just urldecode it and here ya go

Still do. ADHD is still not recognized in lots of places and I certainly do, in form of vape. Tried lowering concentration only to find myself smoking at higher power and more often. Also, energy drinks, I don’t know what they put in them but withdrawal from them feels exactly like quitting smoking.

Yeah! Why can’t I use a base64 representation of a pirated 4k TS copy of Jon Favreau’s “Chef” as my password? /s

Jokes aside, I’ve heard some hashing algorithms have a high cap of like 20 characters, so developers are probably just too lazy to switch them out or to read the docs on how to properly use said algorithms. Either way it’s a very bad sign, maybe just a tad better than them emailing you the password in cleartext.

I know regex!

This means:

• Must not contain whitespace

• Must contain lowercase latin letter

• Must contain uppercase latin letter

• Must contain a number

• Must contain one of the symbols you’d normally be able to type on US keyboard !@#$%^&*()-=_+[\]{}|;:,./<>?

It is a cursed way to do validation, though.

Grant NATO membership to what? The charred remains of Lviv?

This. The best you can do is encrypt your messages locally before sending. But then your email service provider still knows where you are, when and to whom you are sending the message to, and how long is it. And so does the recepient’s email provider and anyone in between. Best they can do is to promise not to keep that data. But it’s just that - a promise, which there is no way to verify.

For me it was the reverse - ntfs-3g was constantly corrupting my windows drives because apparently NTFS is incredibly complicated and it can only handle a subset of that. But, the last time I used dual boot setup was more than 5 years ago. Has this gone any better nowadays?

I was about to say the same, but then I remembered that I’m ignoring any business that use WhatsApp or Instagram as their sole means of communication. Fuck yeah I’m a petulant teenager, it’s their loss, not mine.

I think he said that it would cancel his tetanus.

Feels lonely, most of all. I don’t fear the cops or ex-wagners I walk past every time I go to the store. It’s the radio silence in once popular channels whose owners were “disappeared”, and friends either in exile or too scared to even go out, that makes me feel devastated.

I’m more of a medovukha kind of guy, but yes, indeed, we do. Thank you for saying this

Barrel chest. Probably due to some lung condition that he had before

Just add “decentralized web3 mining” somewhere in the page and crypto-dipshits will host the shit out of it. No actual cryptocurrency nor even a whitepaper required.

The west defending ukraine

“The west” ain’t defending shit. At best it only throws more timber into fire.
