Don’t know if I have a favourite but Becky Chambers is excellent.

My scepticism is through the roof reading this. First, I find it hard to believe that he has two working units unless they are programmed to sit in front of a terminal and tap Y…

The rest speaks for itself: Musk likes to BS.

Ok. Makes sense. The video is geoblocked for me so I probably should’ve kept my mouth shut

Maybe just bad research. I haven’t tried, but I’m sure if you search for “how to protect yourself online” some of the SEO manipulating websites show up in the first results.

It does work both ways, as the theory states that competent individuals were more humble and underestimated their skills.

Before you delete your comments and reviews change them to something very basic and neutral?

Nah. Not an issue really for me.

Ok, yes, my phone (which is not a Samsung) also includes some info in screenshots.

What app are you using to see the exif data? Perhaps my screenshot has this info as well but the different apps I use to view exif data do not show it.

An animated series is also in the works, so there is also that to look forward to.

I use MuPDF but there is also the GrapheneOS PDF viewer available on their GitHub

You can install it using Obtainium or jus grab it from the GitHub page.

Got like 3 hours sleep last night, slept in, ate too fast, stomach ache all day due to that. Other than that, easy work day and the week is light on work to boot. Might get snow where I live too. That would be…cool.

Did you delete them outright or modify the text and then delete it? That is the tinfoil hat way! If you lived in Europe you could request your data to be deleted. You can also request your data and they are supposed to comply at some point. If you did that you could see what they have.

The rabbit hole will drive you a little bonkers so maybe don’t overthink it for now and take a look at https://www.reveddit.com/ and archive.org to see if your username pops up.

ah zdnet, a waste of CO2 if there ever was

On a bit of a side-scrolling trip these past few weeks: Mario Wonder, Metroid Dread, Yooka-Laylee, etc.

The two big(ger) games I’ve played this year are Street Fighter 6 and Mario Wonder which are both fantastic. I haven’t played BG3 or the latest Zelda or any other major releases, but my partner and I were all in on SF6 for weeks. Wonder, though, is a great throwback to what made us both start gaming: very easy to pick up and play, things to collect, and a tiny bit of grinding.
