“it appears that the GOP’s leadership may have played themselves into making the right call for the right underlying reasons (the censorship powers), but based on a near total misunderstanding of how the world actually works.”
Stopped clocks and all that.
In Bluetooth mode yes.
Wow. Do you live in a bank vault? That’s a serious door!
Maybe just a spare key in a hidden lockbox outside?
You could also look at these.
With the WiFi add on it’s HA compatible.
“If you’re a Twitter diehard who’s not willing to swap to X, it might be finally time to ditch X for Mastadon or Threads. On your way out, don’t forget to delete your X account.”
Best advice in the article.
Can we just roll it all up in a big ball and shoot it into space on a rocket? That worked great in Futurama… 😉
If I’m reading an article on espn.com for free, there has to be some value exchange. I either need to pay to read the article or I need to be willing to be included in future advertising to people who have read that article. We haven’t come up with a better model to support free content on the Internet than advertising.
I would be willing to pay 5p to read that article if there was an automatic and easy mechanism to deliver that transaction to espn.com.  I want their journalists to get paid and I want the content to keep existing. But I’m also not such a dedicated fan of that site that I’m ready to subscribe monthly. The last thing we need is an Internet full of subscription paywalls.
So in the meantime, if the fact that I read an article on espn.com about rugby scores puts me in an audience of people who like rugby and this complicated web of advertising is going to show me rugby ads and ESPN is going to make money from that and that is going to keep the articles free … sure, whatever they gotta do I guess. I’m not sharing anything personal or private with espn.com so if they want to pass that along to 1600 other places so I can keep reading for free… whatevs.  It’s not the model I would’ve chosen but I don’t have a better plan to keep ESPN in business. 
Tailscale plugin for HA works flawlessly for me.
Nothing outside the LAN. Just Tailscale installed on my Synology NAS, on HomeAssistant and on all my machines.
From RTO mandates to Slack monitoring to spy cameras to seemingly-random layoffs, and now this… after the pandemic people realized their boss would rather they die than miss work, and there has been an uptick in union activity and more resistance from employees since… and here comes the AI industry to the rescue, to put the power back in corporate hands and squeeze employees. 
I use Downie (on Mac) but there’s a video downloader app for every platform. It doesn’t download the ads either 😉
Maybe it’s the definition of natural? Are they created by reservoirs or dams? 
This! I am getting really tired of being everybody’s beta tester.
I think they are great if it’s about 40% talk and 60% socialize. The point of talks should be to stimulate a conversation that happens in the hallway. If it’s just one way content absorption, that could’ve been done remotely. 
I desperately miss the networking and socializing and the people I met and the interesting conversations that I could not have planned for. I hope eventually my company starts sending us again.
Stupid bastards. I hope Apple and WhatsApp and Signal all just turn off service in the EU. Let the users eat these assholes alive when their apps stop working.
Terms of service for paid accounts say that the content isn’t scanned for any reason. So I guess the other way to avoid feeding the machine is to pay to operate the machine while it feeds on others…
Ok then I hope all the business accounts, social media reps, uptime reports, customer service hotlines, and advertisers plan to stop using Twitter.
