Oh, that’s actually good to know. I guess it makes sense for when you don’t have a good connection as well.

Same. Self hosting it sounds nice, and I self host a handful of services, but I don’t want to be stuck without passwords in another country with a dead server at home because a power cut happened at some point.

Now I’m curios of the camera used. The lack of motion blur is impressive.

I assume you’re talking about creating a VPN into your own personal network? Unless you have family or friends in a different country I fail see how you’re circumventing geo restrictions or gain anonymity on the internet.

Except Pirate isn’t fraud as in stolen valor, in the case of him it was just the house of cards of over embellishments finally caught up with him.

David was in Microsoft early and for a long time. Thinking he’s lying about that part is a bit rich.

You would think the screw and screwdriver would come hand in hand the same year. But I guess even he struggled with how to not strip them.

I see you are getting some down votes, it’s not me, I swear! Your views on this are sound in my eyes.

I should have said I liked the rest of your post, it was only the bit I quoted I wanted to add in my opinion, but I kinda forgot to mention that :)

I’m with you on the misinformation bit. But while it wouldn’t be honest to report that Google is restricting developers now, I think it’s absolutely fair to criticise and react to them building the scaffolding for such abuse down the line.

Like the UK isn’t outright banning websites promoting trans rights or other “undesirable” political movements, but they now have the technical and legislative tools to easily expand on it.

I’m not equating the two, and I agree it’s important to differentiate between what’s currently happening and what could be.

“Google refusing to grant an account to people they don’t like, although they haven’t done that yet”

I have no trust that they will play honest or cleanly with that. Google has a knack for banning accounts randomly, and that’s a ban for everything, gmail, YouTube, AdSense. Now give them a reason to ban me for any of the apps I choose to sign. Created an app for tracking ICE agents? Good bye gmail account. A VPN app to circumvent porn bans and the government said that’s a no-no? No, more account for you.

The old “old.reddit.com” trick still works. It also works for other nsfw communities.

Of course he knows how space works. Mr. Beezos thought about studying physics, you know! /s

Compared to something multi threaded, yes. But there are obviously a number of bottlenecks that might diminish the gains of a multi threaded program.

No, that’s fair play! I think you were just ahead of the curve with ditching google maps :D I use a combo of OSMAnd, Comaps, and Magic Earth (not open source, but has live traffic data).

How was search and not the usual maps the hardest? The search is what I feel like most people switch first.

Holy cow. I saw the thumbnail and assumed it was one of those misattributed images, but no, that’s him alright. Yeah something is not right with that face.

You can choose not to pay the fine, or block them. If you do neither the UK will eventually block you. It works on the same basis that GDPR does, you are serving and handling data on UK citizens, they have rights that the UK gov is protecting (but in this case it’s apparently the right to not accidentally see a boob or view personal health content).

Unfortunate you can’t notice the buttery smoothness if 60+ fps.

Oh I’ve actually heard of Pluto.tv and watched it somewhere.

I’m not trying to make a point, I’m just curious how many this impacts and so on. I imagine it will go down similar to Netflix account sharing crackdown; generally viewed unfavourably, but will convert enough users to pay for it to be worth it.

How is Plex used if you aren’t using it to stream your self hosted media? I remember seeing channels and such before. Is all the official stuff licensed content? I can’t imagine their offering is very competitive.
