    Google witness accidentally blurts out that Apple gets 36% cut of Safari deal
  • Only idiots think Apple is privacy friendly lol.

    Apple has everyone fooled.

    Apple are privacy-focused insofar as they will privately sell your data, sneakily.

    What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?
  • Had mine for over 20 years until it disappeared. Years later still no idea what happened to it. Only issue I had with it was the clock it had, broke halfway through owning it.

    How to combine sports and study?
  • That shit ain't right! It's sad that those wannabe gyms exist and it puts off people who would likely otherwise have a good, albeit still tough time (with some conditioning).

    How to combine sports and study?
  • Sounds like you've never trained. If you want to try kickboxing or Muay Thai you're not going to be starting out sparring. You'll be learning the basics. That is, of course unless you're at some dodgy ass gym that pushes everyone to spar right out of the gate. In which case you should avoid and go to a proper gym. If you're getting many hard hits to the head in training starting out you're doing it wrong or your partner is an asshole. Just do it. I trained with other people in IT, I remember one guy was a C++ programmer. Stop over thinking it and go for it.

    The people who ruined the internet
  • Now you’ve outdone Google.

    Alright, calm down. If they "outdid" Google, they would have their own SEO dreamland platform. All they did was work within the confines of Google's algorithms, A/B testing until something works. When Google makes changes they repeat. Overall the Internet is in a reeeeally shitty state due to the marketization of search results. There have been some things I have searched for whereby there were pages of what was essentially cloned articles. Many times I'm unable to even find what I'm looking for. Recent example, there was that article posted about that AI service / software that aimed to poison images, I don't remember the name. I tried searching for the actual software / website. I gave up and never found it through the utter bullshit "articles" all spouting the exact same thing and clearly taking advantage of the "freshness" and relevancy of the tool.

    Meta faces permanent ban on targeted ads across Europe
  • All of those are outside activities, right? In my town we have flyers and stuff in a few different locations. At times I get annoyed I can't find information about events online, and then I think no it's actually a good thing.

  • That's perfect. There was a thread not too long ago discussing how Amazon Prime removed am item from someone's media library and gave them $5 as "compensation". Imagine someone coming into your house and taking something they don't sell anymore and leaving 5 bucks on your kitchen counter for your troubles. So many people in this world want their cake and eat it too, you can't have it both ways. If it was agreed that buying a digital asset conferred some type of ownership, they might have an argument now. They made their bed, now they can piss off and do what they want with it, it's theirs to do with as they please because we can never own a part of it.

    No politics inteded: Why isn't Trump after leaving office in any way or shape involved in politics say as member of congress or senate?
  • Lowest common denominator. Easy content that's bound to get clicks. When this happens, in my mind it begins to cast doubt on criticisms. It literally just becomes the orange man bad memes. Sometimes I feel like pointless division is the point. Quarrelling among ourselves while they sit in their hypocritical ivory towers.

    while, not whole

    First Real Self Host Setup question
  • Unraid (you pay for how many disks you have in your array, you can get the unlimited one for like $119 - would have to double-check but it's around 100 bucks, it's not subscription-based, so once you buy it you have it for good). Been using it for years, it's great and is pretty easy to set up. If you have any questions let me know. They're constantly improving it.

  • I 'upvote' more or less all posts I interact with (sometimes I forget to vote). I feel like we should bring back open dialogues and heavily dissuade people from simply disregarding someone's entire belief system or ideals based on 200 characters of text (an example).

    Think about one person in your life who you first thought was a complete asshole and once you got to know them they were pretty cool, maybe you became best friends with them. The point is, judging a person based on a minute snippet in time is a fool's errand, and your own state of mind contributes a lot to your own judgement of people. Your next thought might be, well they have a history of x, y AND z, so they deserve every bit of judgement coming their way! I would ask you, why? Are you not simply fueling further hatred, vitriol and division? So instead of stopping for a moment and thinking about the world from someone else's perspective, you'd rather just spit out some more hatred and move on like that person doesn't exist?

    I would love to see some solution to the shitty state of the Internet. I only say Internet because for the most part this doesn't happen in real life in my experience. I think it has to do with consequences and social sigma and so on. I reckon it would be pretty awesome if there was something like the following:

    • all upvotes are free range, people can give out upvotes like they were candy
    • downvotes come at a "cost", whereby if you want to downvote someone you have to reply directly to them with some justification, say minimum number of characters, words, etc.

    In an ideal world, and setup, this would help raise positivity in the world and have people at the very least have a second thought before being negative.

    Yes I understand there would be flaws, I've worked with and used computers for a long time, I know. I chose not to delve deep into those as I feel that would defeat the purpose of the message I'm trying to convey. And, you know, lead by example.

    What do ya'll think? Any suggestions to boost positivity in the world, I'm all ears, smash them and any other thoughts in the comments.

    Hello everyone,

    Currently, I've been using Descript for editing, but I've encountered some limitations:

    1. The Descript app is not available for Linux.
    2. The browser-based version has limited features.

    I don't want to switch from Linux just for this. I'm searching for an alternative that is both fully compatible and feature-rich. Ideally, the alternative should have:

    • Multi-track editing
    • Transcription services
    • Easy-to-use interface
    • Help me spend minimal time editing without hiring someone 😅

    I'd love to hear your recommendations and experiences with other platforms that fulfill these criteria.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. Looking forward to your suggestions!

    Hello everyone,

    As someone with a background and deep passion for security, I've navigated the labyrinthine world of not only tech recruitment, but others as well, more than a few times. I've encountered a myriad of challenges that I believe many of us face but seldom discuss openly.

    Generic Job Descriptions: Has anyone else noticed how many job descriptions in tech seem like they were written from a template? It's frustrating to sift through dozens of job descriptions only to find they all seem eerily similar, making it challenging to understand what a company is truly looking for.

    The Never-Ending Interview Process: Multiple rounds of interviews, technical assessments, and then maybe a 'cultural fit' interview. The process can be draining and time-consuming.

    I'm keen to open a discussion and hear your thoughts and experiences.

    • Have you faced similar challenges in tech recruitment?
    • How do you navigate the complexities?
    • Any tips for job seekers in tech, especially those interested in security?

    Let's discuss!
