It wasn't as crazy as the SLU one, but it always had a bunch of people in it which is what surprised me about this news.

Not great news for me. This marks two grocery stores that were convenient to me that are now closed in the area.

I think #1 is suggesting to move the neutral over to another hot phase and change the outlet to a 240v nema 6/three prong (I think) with two hots and a ground instead of the 4 prong.

The 240v at the same amps gives you higher watts so faster charging without an expensive new conductor. I'm

Maybe that's intentional to keep you from wanting to stay there a long time and negotiate.

Most users don't care, as long as they're getting free stuff

Sad, but very true in my experience. I find even my friends who work in software engineering and have exposure to the bad sides of what technology can do, just don't take any efforts to change. They addicted to Instagram, to Amazon, and everything else.

YT ads can be relevant to you based on data collected about you

They certainly can be but if there are 2 advertisers and one is the most relevant and the other pays them more money, which one do you think Google is going to show you?

The one that pays more because it's an auction, but an advertiser that pays more for a less relevant ad to a user won't be making as much money so there is an incentive to be more relevant.

They used a protocol called WebRTC that allows for establishing direct P2P connections to establish a connection to the Facebook app running on your phone. The FB app knew your identity so it was able to link your in browser actions with your FB identity.

Sounds a lot like getting used to time zones. Just get used to it being 3pm there when it's 6pm here

It makes some things hard and some things easier. For example, you can more easily defend against DoS attacks because there's just more targets.

But decentralized makes it easier for bot manipulation because you can hide your actions across multiple users on different instances and those instances can't easily identify bot signatures like IP addresses to ban many accounts.

Google is doing this because they have incentives to do so. They want to block malicious actors like attack their platforms.

Other companies want to lock down their own apps because they don't think users should be permitted to do anything other than use their apps exactly as they want.

I don't like it as a user, but I also see the reason why companies want this by being on the security side of software.

This is the future of the Big Tech Internet if we're not careful. Attestation to be able to use communications and other websites.

bash doesn’t have a main function either and no one is fucking complaining.

I don't complain about Bash's lack of features because I choose not to write Bash scripts and instead use saner languages.
