That six months severance is looking pretty nice. I have to imagine a good chunk of staff are going to take it regardless of their distance to the office. Sure hope Grindr learns a tough lesson on this one.

I’m torn on this one. I want users to migrate to FOSS platforms but at the same time Threads is the best near term solution to drain Twitter users. In a perfect world, I would like the skinheads to stay on Twitter, the attention seeking people to go to threads, and the normal folk to hit Lemmy/Kbin.

I wish I was creative and/or entertaining…I could make a fortune!

Dude…Trump actively fought against CA to try and get their fuel standards thrown out. Like actively worked as hard as he could against the environment. He failed since he is chaotic and unorganized with a cabinet of crazies but that’s kinda the only reason.

Yeah but Scotty knows all the keyboard shortcuts for a classic Mac which means that they still somehow exist in the future. So…we can safely assume that shortcuts as they exist now are present in the same mapping as they are in the future which means we have no excuse not to memorize them. Not just copy and paste but opening and maximizing windows via shortcut. It is apparently something that still needs to be done in the future.

Hot damn, you really should stretch before a leap like that.

I hope it’s like Jellyfin just streaming their videos. That would be kinda fun. I’m guessing the point is to drive excitement of space. I would watch it as a central source for info.

It means that a disk goes bad and you lose the data. Typically there is some form of protection. I use standard raid 10 which is a bit dated but modern approaches like erasure coding are getting more common. Even if it’s JBOD, you should have a copy of the data in case a drive dies. That’s the value of like raid 5 since it gives you most of the drive space and tolerates a drive failure. RAID is available in software but I’m still using older LSI hardware controllers. A RAID1 mirror would basically be similar to just copying files from one drive to another manually. You get half the storage space but don’t panic when a drive dies. The thing is that drives do die. They are viewed as consumables and thus the question is always WHEN not IF they will die.

I signed up for mastodon when he bought Twitter. The challenge is that I never actually used Twitter so I am lost on what to do with Mastadon. I repost and star posts that are fun but can’t figure out how to follow the conversation. Happy with Lemmy since it’s much easier to follow each conversation. Maybe I’m using Microblogging wrong.

Sounds like a happy ending. We don’t get many of those these days so going to have to hold onto this one.

Just around the time of the 2016 election my elderly neighbor was a Trumper. He asked for some help with his WiFi and I told him that I would fix if it I could name it. He didn’t really know what that meant but I got it working and to this day his WiFi broadcast is “Hillary2016”. I think he’s still pissed but no longer my neighbor although I do smile when I drive past the old place. If his children still spoke to him I’m sure they could help change it.

Did the exact same thing and switched to Apple Music. Unfortunately for some unknown reason, AM isn’t nearly as good in my experience. I have songs that were working and then come up as unavailable later. The recommendations are terrible like Apple is trying to push what they want me to hear not what I am interested in. Using it on multiple devices is painful as I sometimes try to play it on my win10 machine, my Mac, and my iPhone and it can’t figure out that while I am I lay playing it in one location at a time it thinks I am trying to play more than one simultaneously. Maybe I’ll try Amazon music next. I do wonder if Tidal is any good.
