It’s a very enterprise thing to do. Ensuring your company gets a contract for long term support and installation.

Bluetooth is a questionable choice unless the company also offered some kind of network appliance that incorporates connections in a cheaper way than all units being networked. Allowing the hub, as a serviceable component, to provide additional monitoring and functionality without requiring each unit to also contain the components. There’s certainly reasons, not outlandish either, but who knows?

Donating $20 directly to a creator or buying one item from their merch will more than offset a lifetime of ad revenue from just yourself if you use ad blockers for their content. The fractional pennies you are worth to them is completely eclipsed by directly supporting most of them a single time.

I moved to mbin too, as Ernest was obviously unable to commit the time and resources needed while he has been dealing with life and health related issues. The real bummer is the complete lack of willingness to accept or recognize help when it’s required so the least I could do to help the project was actually to stop using it and remove my usage from the servers he wouldn’t be able to maintain. It’s sad but the fediverse is functioning as intended here, being able to move around is a core feature. I hope he recovers well.

Go for a run or cold shower. Get your heart rate up, similar effect.

All the mythological cures rely on one specific thing: focusing on a task or overriding your brain’s autonomic systems with adrenaline (get scared). Don’t think about it and do something else with as much concentration as you can will. Sorry if you’re ADHD.

I just enabled the option to reopen tabs on close, usually open a new tab right before closing with the primary X button, then reopen Firefox so it unloads all tabs that don’t get loaded until I click on them individually. Works fine, isn’t a huge hassle. Good enough at least until it’s officially a feature.

I’ve been using Debian for many years now. The hardest part about switching my desktop to arch (partly to try something different, partly for later kernel / tools) was not that arch is difficult, but that I need to type ‘sudo pacman -S’ instead of ‘sudo apt install’ to install new packages. It is functionally the same in my day to day use which is fantastic.

My point was more about timeline. Is my company’s RTO mandate from 2022 part of the 3%? 8%? How are they counting? The article wasn’t very clear to me so I must be missing something.

We’ve been full RTO since mid-2022, what’s that 3% actually counting?

Edit- mid 2022. Damn time is weird.

A reverse proxy will solve this for you in an afternoon of setup :)

I disagree. It’s not a remix, it’s a rework/edit which is designed to maximize the amount of streaming revenue on platforms such as Spotify. We saw the same thing with “skit” songs and interludes as well as 30+ track album releases. All to get more plays on streaming, at the expense of the art.
