I downvote anyone that whines about or asks why they’re getting downvotes. Otherwise I don’t up/downvote anything at all (except that guy that is posting triangles for upvotes)

Seriously, who cares?

I’m sure this guy’s dad that needs help installing Linux will appreciate the clarification, good thing you’re here to point that out

If you’ve got an ALDIs nearby, they’ve got a $5 cheese take n bake. Pro move is to get one of those and then cut your own toppings, bake, it’ll be better than any chain.

I’m sure there’s other good take n bakes, but $5 for a quality one is probably hard to match

Louis explains in several videos on his channel.

They’re experimenting with a business model where they ask users to pay for the product if you get value from it. Development isn’t free, their time is valuable. In return they’ll never harvest and sell your data.

If this experiment is a success it can demonstrate that it’s a viable business strategy to not harvest data, which is good for everyone.

Personally, at this point I’m trying out the FUTO keyboard but it’s too janky for me to pay for it. Lots of bugs and swipe is not good. I hope it gets better and I’m trying to help the project by submitting bug reports.

Grayjay I’ve barely used but I see the potential, and if it gets good I’ll pay for it. I paid for Signal messenger because it’s the same kind of thing.

It’s up to you. They’re telling you what the price is, it’s the honor system if you use it and get value from it.

Phone number 2FA isn’t useless, insomuch as it’s better than no 2FA at all, but it is easily the worst form of 2FA because SIM jacking (usually involves a scammer tricking a customer service agent into migrating your phone number to their device instead of yours in order to intercept the 2FA messages) is laughably simple using easily acquired info such as your DOB, address, and last 4 of your SSN.

If phone 2FA is the only option, use it. But don’t use it if you have any other option.

Concrete is gravel, sand, cement, lyme, and water, mixed in various ratios.

There’s a lot of variations and additives that can change how quickly it cures, often to speed it up or slow it down to account for weather (temperature and humidity play a huge part in how it cures), or to modify the pace of how it cures so you can keep building on it if you’re building vertically.

It’s a simple concept that gets incredibly complicated very quickly.

Big rocks, little rocks, cement, water.

Even if I replace the speaker from a telephone, and the keypad stops working a month later, I have voided the warranty already by doing the speaker change as they can’t know if the now not working keypad was done because of you or a failing unit.

This is false. They have to PROVE that the repair that you made caused the keypad to fail in other to void your warranty, at least in the USA. Most people are misinformed as you are however, and they’ll TELL you that’s the case to make you go away, despite it being illegal.

I’m sure he could tell. I just think he thought he could help, but eventually resigned when he realized that he was less effective than he expected he would be, and refused to be complicit in the administration.
