And this is why your workplace has no business knowing your personal health issues. If you're going to miss work, so be it, but they didn't need to know Dunn has a terminal diagnosis with less than 6 months to live.

I have no idea. I didn't even trust it on my main home network. Connected it to my guest network so it couldn't scan my home network. Which it tried to do, if course.

I figure it was because he had issues holding it up/mobility issues.

Why is it always "kill" when Israel does it, but "murder" when it's against Israel?

Infrared sensors would be defeat-able. Integrated telemetry stuff (speed, driving habits, aggressiveness) no so much.

Clamshell mode. External monitor, lid closed. My issue was that I could not tell it to sleep when not in use, because their IT disabled sleep to ensure their corporate spyware was always running.

I've been using Waterfox for a year or so, after I got tired of the broken update process for Librewolf on MacOS. No regrets.

I also use uBlock Origin, but yes, absolutely worth it.

I recently quit a company that does. They hid that until after I accepted and started. I quit out of frustration after a couple weeks of having to listen the the fan all day due to their surveillance and telemetry running. They even disabled sleep mode, so you either had to leave that thing phoning home 24/7, or forcibly shut down every day. 10 minute boot time on a brand new laptop.

On the topic of load time, it didn't even mention the compulsory "prove you are human" Cloudflare gate on practically every website these days. Add 10 seconds to every visit.

They are equal. I used pihole before, but wanted something with less management overhead and something easier to manage for devices family members use.

This is insulting, both in how little it is to them, but also how little it is in proportion to the revenue made just by the fee scam in the first place. It; not even a slap on the wrist, it wreaks of them bribing the DOJ. If it doesn't hurt, it's just a fee (to them), not a crime.

Also, they'll just pass these costs on to their customers, of course.

 

I think this community is appropriate for this topic, since this solution is being rolled out to combat AI scraping of websites.

I don't really understand why the collective agreement is "it is better than captchas would be", when you didn't need to pass a captcha just to view a website in the first place. Why are people not more pissed off about every website suddenly requiring this laggy, sometimes actually a captcha anyways (checkbox to prove you are human) solution slowing down visits to websites?

And why can't CloudFlare offer some way for us lowly non-AI's to prove we're human, once, for our entire web experience, versus on. every. damned. website. one. at. a. time?

I counted, and I hit this turnstile solution on 28 website visits today, and sometimes more than once on the same site. That's minutes of my life I don't get back, and likely hours to days over the course of a year.

There has to be a better way...

Been down for a couple hours for me.

 

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

 

For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

 

I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

 

I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.
