But Few Purchase Software (Bits, Frames, Packets, Segments)

I appreciate the joke and agree. At the same time, whatever mind is there is just… Not right

Trump doesn’t care about that. He cares about the optics and the opinion of the last person to speak with him. Nothing else even exists in his mind.

That’s kind of telling in itself to be honest. Services for most people these days mean subscription (or some kind of recurring cost). The nature of the overwhelming majority of businesses means they will be looking to increase profits. One extremely common way is to degrade the service you provide slightly. Increasing ads, lowering quality, etc.

One of the only exceptions I would say is Steam. But people could argue that Steam isn’t a true service because it’s closer to a store front, at that point you’re arguing semantics though.

There’s also self hosting a service to consider? How would that count in this instance. I self host a few things like nextcloud, Plex, and others. Yes it’s still a program and technically a service as well?

I had just finished high school and enrolled in TAFE (think vocational/skills training) studying a certificate III in IT, then certificate 4. Then in 2008 an advanced diploma in network security.

I’ve forgotten most of the specifics over time, but the core ideas I’ve picked up then and along the way have definitely helped in my current IT job.

Yes, but while one side can accept it, Turnip throws a tantrum

Please drink a verification laxative?

I’ll be interested to see how this differs from nextcloud AIO, which is what I currently run for my own stuff.

Honestly back when I was a kid this is how I thought games were made, every possible image of a game was already saved and according to your input it just loaded the next image.

I stopped thinking that with 3d games

In that case uwuntu for life.

I’ve put a few smart lights/switches/sensors/power points in at home. Definitely helps mum as we can have wireless switches for the lights, and motion sensors to turn the hallway lights on automatically as well.

For ALL of them, I make sure there is a manual control that will work as a backup regardless. Even if a smart light is “off” due to the motion sensor not detecting movement, all you need to do is turn the old regular light switch off then back on and the light will default to being back on.

Ironically having a giant security breach happen in a security focused messaging app was good advertising.

Of course in this instance the breach was not because of the app, which is a good thing I guess.

It might help the readability?

This is the way.

Add in a magnetic charger phone mount and you’re golden in my opinion.

I never see anything like that, my recommendations are all tech, game, or stories from Reddit/etc being read. For that last one I just skip the ai generated voices and try to find people actually doing the reading. Make good background noise.

I wouldn’t be against a bit of soft core porn like you describe, but I go to other sites for that

The problem is the masses probably don’t care how it’s made. Think the chicken nugget display Jamie Oliver did to a bunch of kids. He tried to show them how disgusting it was, but the kids all wanted them anyway.

Mum. Since dad passed away early on 2024 I’ve been doing my best to care for her, but there’s only so much I can do.

There’s no simple explanation, no simple solution. I do what I can, putting both love and logic into every decision, but I am still worried about the future she has.

I am thankful I’ve never seen this (or at least, have not seen it yet).

I have however seen plenty of “app” style webpages over the years, but for a lot of them it makes sense, good examples would be Gmail and web based communication programs (discord in the browser as an example). They have to load a bunch of JavaScript and other resources to function.

Regarding the title thing. Lots of news sites will have multiple titles that get swapped at random. The different wordings increase the click through rate. You might not be interested in title 1,2 or 3, but title 4 gets you to click.

But as for change logs for the actual article, none that I know of. The best you normally see is something like “last edited 5 minutes ago”

Stakeholders that want a payout will demand the data be sold to the highest bidder.

And other companies will probably be interested in said data and willing to buy.

I would like for it to be destroyed as well, but capitalism going to capitalism.
