After all the shit I’ve seen and heard about the creepy shit smart TV manufacturers get up to I am never ever connecting a smart TV to the internet in my home.

Never had a problem with the se-xxxx-wg-xxxx servers. Can view directly from Sync.

As to whether it’s possible to get certain apps use specific physical RAM sticks, I am not sure, but that seems unlikely and would probably require some very low level modifications to your operating system. But even before you get to that point you’d have to physically connect them to your new motherboard, which will only work if there are both free RAM slots on it, and your new motherboard has slots for the same generation of RAM that your old PC uses.

Just curious, what is the evil monopoly shit you’re referring to? Is it simply the fact they are effectively a monopoly in games distribution, and that in and of itself is bad, or are there more specific practices or actions you’re thinking of?

Maybe I’m getting things backwards here, but wouldn’t disabling cookie persistence actually stop some of the more malicious forms of tracking, where different websites track your activity across websites? I’m not an expert on this specific matter but my understanding was that website A saves a cookie in your browser, which website B then uses to identify you (maybe with some extra steps of shipping that data off to some data broker or w/e but you get the picture). I thought that disabling persistence would stop that from occurring in the sense that once your restart your browser and go to website B, there is nothing from A for them to look at.

Small room with enough desks for just the immediate team and plenty of space in the desks would be my dream. Maybe a whiteboard or two. That would be excellent.

Sure would rather have one of those than the open office landscape I have now.

Outside of work: Both. I want people to think I look good in the clothes I wear, but even if they don’t I am probably not going to change them. At work: We have a dress code. I follow it to the letter, because I think it makes a positive difference in how I am perceived by my employer. I almost completely disregard my own preferences in this context.

But if you just run it locally an a media server in your home, and you don’t expose the service to the internet, that doesn’t really matter? Though perhaps more people connect to their Jellyfin instances remotely than I realize.

We probably live in different countries, but where I live it’s more like you can’t get pre-approved for anything unless you either have a large amount of money saved up, or your salary is high enough that it’s far beyond what you would reasonably need to get paid to afford the mortgage.

Imo it is fucking stupid to care about this stuff though. Celebrity worship is a cancer. Obsessing about the love lives of total strangers because they’re famous is not only pointless but also destructive.

I work as a software developer. My team mate once said he was a “mouse and click kinda guy” when asked why he didn’t use the terminal for git.

That’s a very good idea. Might wanna keep an additional yearly one too though, in case you don’t use the computer actively for a while and realize you have to go back more than a month at some point.

If Miss Information gets married, does she become Mrs Information?

As a non-American, this baffles me.

On the one hand, sucks that a leak like this even happens anymore, no one deserves to be doxxed like that. On the other hand, I struggle to feel bad for the users of the doxxing app getting doxxed in return…

I also work in IT, but tbf that sounds a lot more exciting than the projects I work on.

I have a hard time seeing that happening at my workplace, but I see how it can be significant for jobs like medical staff, security, etc.

This is how it is at my current job in Denmark. Never experienced it before working in Denmark.

Not a woman but- No that actually makes a lot of sense :)
