Recall: Microsoft re-launches ‘privacy nightmare’ AI screenshot tool
  • After minor setup, my experience has been incredibly plug and play.

  • I designed a cardboard cutter that turns boxes into free cat scratchers
  • They're apparently shit for anything not cardboard, but they really shine when the only thing you're cutting is cardboard.

    I wanted to test that for myself.

  • Signal Piracy group
  • You understand that, for everyone except for a complete network pro, that is worse for security and privacy, right?

    Don't get me wrong, it's great that you can.

    But the reason piracy websites struggle so much with long term stability isn't because they're hosting the wrong software.

  • I designed a cardboard cutter that turns boxes into free cat scratchers
  • This would work with regular shaped blades, right? Like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GIZ9164/

  • Don't get an ender unless you want your hobby to be working on the printer. That's fine, but it's not the same as having something ready to go when you unbox it.

    Prusa printers are quality and open source; very much worth supporting if you have the money. Your hobby will be printing things for other things if you get one.

    Bambu printers are cheap, but not open source. However, you will spend most of your time actually making stuff instead of fixing the printer.

    Cheap, reliable, open source/modifiable. Pick two.

  • How compatible is Linux Mint Debian Edition with NVIDIA drivers?
  • I've been on LMDE for several years now and had no major issues with my 1080. But also I have no idea if I had to do anything to get it started.

  • The Typical American Lives Only 18 Miles From Mom
  • If you assume the number of people who live across the country from their mother is the same number of people who live with their mother, the balance is completely in favor of the across country people. the difference between 0 and 18 is way less than the difference between 18 and 1200.

  • Deleted
    Are there regulations for what kind of domain name you can use for a website?
  • Yeah, probably best to avoid .af as a domain. Even if you're not hosting content that they'd flag and remove (which is a lot), you're still funding a really backwards country when you do it.

  • Parental controls?
  • I knew the forced dns thing because I have a pihole, and blocking port 53 traffic not heading to my two PIs has not happened yet, despite my best efforts. Shit aint simple for me, much less regular people.

  • Parental controls?
  • Pihole can be broken with a free vpn, or even just forced DNS on device.

  • Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?
  • Not on my work computer, the only place I use windows, I can't. A workaround is never a complete fix.

  • Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?
  • Well, I'd say the start menu peaked in Windows 7, where it only showed good local results, but it is still the best way to open something I know the name of.

  • Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk?
  • Or just use a password manager like keepass where the problem of storing passwords has been solved already...

  • Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?
  • Lmao, not at all. Check it for bugs, but trash is fair game. I live in a college town and there is good furniture out every semester if you like the look of it.

    It's technically illegal, but if cops aren't pursuing stolen cars, they damn sure won't care about trash bring stolen.

    And, based on your edit, I'm not the only person who agrees.

  • 11th Circuit Rules In Favor Of Forced Trans Sterilization For Drivers Licenses In Alabama
  • It's incredibly state dependent on how that works. Birth certificates can be ruined by your birth state, but that's not the only way to manage things. Since federal identification still wotks, you can get a passport instead of a drivers license/state id, it'll do everything except let you drive. You can also get your social security card updated too. As far as I know, that's all that's required to get set up with new identification in a different state.

  • The more maintainers are paid, the more improvements they make to their projects
  • Studies that only confirm 'what we already knew' are still good to have.

  • Here are the silliest Android phone features of all time
  • waterfall displays

    Finally someone agrees with me. I swear it felt like I was the only sane person around. The curved edges made no sense design, use, or otherwise.

    I managed to mostly skip that BS by going with phones that didn't use it, but I still had the occasional misstep whenever using someone else's phone to check out their photo or whatever.

    Frankly, I'm happy to see it become less mainstream.
