You are spot on about the new Beetlejuice. It’s much like the first one just without any sort of story arc.
Was it? I watched and was underwhelmed. The pacing and arc felt off to me. Interesting characters, funny moments, poor storytelling imho.
Where are the stairs going in that picture? They just make everything more confusing. They seem to go exactly between two levels and not on the bottom level like a normal-ass building.
Forcing someone, who is being paid to help you, to listen to your angry manifesto and then responding passive aggressively to them is a dick move in my books.
How is that the fault of the individual providing customer support who is likely making minimum wage? What can they realistically do about it?
This is the equivalent of cussing out the person working the drive-through at McDonalds because corporate raised the prices…and then telling everyone about it.
Your anger and frustration is valid. What AT&T did is shitty. How you handled these feelings was a bit cruel and could use some reflection and improvement.
Kind of a dick move and frankly embarrassing that you think this is righteous. That is not a bot, that is a real person.
What would stop them from subpoenaing all information from your personal server?
If you’re a drug dealer and the FBI sends you a subpoena—you could simply….not respond.
There’s no personal information tied to your account.
There is actually a bunch of metadata tied to your account and your room. That’s partly how they caught that kid with the Pentagon leaks.
And again, there may be other services between the clients and the matrix server that collect personal data (e.g. reverse proxies, load balancers).

If you are someone who ostensibly cares about privacy and security (like a drug dealer) why would you rely on the benevolence and security hygiene of a stranger you can’t audit? Instead of using a known good actor, like Signal or SimpleX, or no actor, like Briar.
How is it a lot harder to track if the FBI can just subpoena the sysadmin for server/room logs?
With respect, this viewpoint is not defensible from an operational security perspective.
It’s like saying they should use GMail because they have hundreds of millions of users. When the problem isn’t being a needle in haystack, but rather the fact that Google will gladly look through your private data and happily hand it over to the authorities.
Uhh yeah, but is that wise if you’re trafficking drugs?
I really like my Libra 2. My only complaint is the weight—it can be a little heavy for longer reading sessions.
Hot tip, it’s a pleasure to use in landscape mode.
Also the left-edge brightness slider is a killer feature at night.
Simpler to manage and smaller attack surface.
Running your own Matrix server also means running your own host server, database, caches, reverse proxy, firewall, networking stack, etc… Keeping these things running and updated. As well as vetting and updating clients.
Wouldn’t Signal or SimpleX be a better alternative to Matrix?
Given the state of Matrix clients and Matrix is designed to be federated (plus self-hosting is not simple and requires it’s own security precautions).
Was it just me, or was this “interview” impossible to read? Was this written or transcribed by AI?
In addition to what others have said, it doesn’t always happen like this. More often than not the Jury will be asked to leave the courtroom before the matter is discussed and the Judge will decide whether the Jury can hear the argument when they return.
Check out the Clicks keyboard if you have an iPhone.
As others have said, ditch the cream cheese. It needs an acid like lemon juice or red wine vinegar. I would reduce the black pepper and add something with more flavour like red chile or jalapeños. I also like to top it with fresh whole cilantro or parsley for both flavour and texture. You could also use something like diced radish.
Pickled red onions are also easy and will take you far.
This was one of my most prized possessions as a kid—right up until my sister stole it and traded it for a Cheese String at school.
