I can’t help you with your addiction, I can only offer warm glow.

Modern society is telling me I need to take melatonin.
I tell modern society I make my own melatonin, and sleep perfectly fine because my lights are warm in the evening.

They probably will when the steam store turns to shit, valve stops supporting Linux and making hardware they want, stops doing family sharing, and pretty much removes everything from the steam client except the store.

You have to admit, valve has a pretty good reason to be liked by consumers.

It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

• post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
• another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
• post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product creates an effective advertisment

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.

I got them from Etsy

Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…

There are no valid assumptions for port 80 imo. Unless your software is literally a pure http server, you should assume something else has already bound to port 80.
Why do I have vague memories of Skype wanting to use port 80 for something and me having issues with that some 15 years ago?
Edit: I just realized this might be for containerized applications… I’m still used to running it on bare metal. Still though… 80 seems sacrilege.

I knew HTTP would make a return without its brother TLS someday!

Monster Rehab was my favorite. It was basically tea with a bunch of other nasty things. Not carbonated, didn’t smell like perfume. I loved it.

Very soft

I mean yeah, I get that… but why would I believe that? Its trivial to add a label in an app and make it say that. I’m questioning trust here. My question should have rather been: why do people trust Meta will do exactly what they say? Its Meta, that immediately sends alarms to my brain saying to stay cautious. Like I said, there’s no way to verify what that piece of text says and the people who would be interested in e2e encryption are also that kind of people who should know what a trusted authority is.

No :/ my server will probably die with me. My people are going to complain why homeassistant isn’t working, why automated lights don’t turn on and why nothing has been added to the plex library in forever. Just not sure who they’ll complain to lol.
At the end of the day, its my hobby and they’ll just have to live with how it was before. The hardware will be there if anyone wants to start up their own thing, but I don’t see it happening.

I never used WhatsApp, but what made people think they used e2e? I’m way passed blindly believing what any company says they do without proof. I’d expect some kind of key or certificate management in the app, is that present?

Heck… my default is still to think every website does plaintext password storage. I can’t prove it, but neither can they. Stop storing my passwords in plaintext lemmy! /s

This is the mindset I’ve adapted about the US in the last 10 years. This is the mindset I’ll pass on about the US until I see it change. Police reaching for the gun the second they get a response they don’t like is not good. This is not a society I’d wish to be a part of. Good luck Americans. And godspeed.

I agree, just without the religious dogma… I’m a person, its a tool… I don’t need a tool tanking me and I don’t need to thank a tool. That’s it.

I’m not from mac land, so I don’t know how much Preview does. I’ll comment on how its done in PC land.

• PDF’s have been handled by web browsers for a while now. Firefox will open and offer basic editing capabilities. Comes pre-installed on most distros.
• Images are handled by the DE’s default image previewer which usually has rudimentary editing capabilities. Installed by default.

Or you can get other apps that handle PDF’s and images.
Switching to linux means switching to other applications. You aren’t getting Preview and you aren’t getting Safari. You get other software that does the same things.

Digital (as in data) has the ability to be easily copied, modified, searched, encrypted, transferred. Making a backup is trivial and virtually free, with less of an environmental impact.
Digital data always ends up being held on something physical which can be destroyed with the same processes as analog data can - except the digital storage medium can be more resilient to some external factors while being vulnerable to some extra ones which analog is not. In other words: a little bit of fire will not destroy a hard drive, but will burn paper easily. An EMP will destroy a hard drive but do nothing to paper. Both can be protected for either case to a certain degree.
Make backups of data you don’t want to lose (digital or analog). Don’t make the mistake of thinking one is more secure than the other.

Centrist economic policy (no hard one way position on economy), libertarian social policy (little government). Hard to say really… what would you call a system which advocates workers rights while also supporting a free market?

I dislike any browser which blocks content (such as ads) by default. It may sound silly, but Imo, that’s not what a browser should be doing. It’s job is to act as an HTTP client, render HTML and do caching, storage and all the management which goes with it and offer any tools to tinker with it.
The meaning of the content displayed should be of no concern to the browser as it is subjective.
I will install an addon to deal with unwanted content as I see fit. Firefox is getting kinda bloated with all the things which come with it (pocket, accounts, default bookmarks…), but I can live with that.

I think they’re just worn from all the walking/climbing he did.

Is this the guy who cured HIV in two embryos by gene editing and was then shunned by the scientific community for not following regulation and procedure and playing god?
