There’s no cognitive dissonance in negating a false negative

The easiest answer to this is yes, he could create a stone he couldn’t lift. And then he could lift it anyway.

I’ve used a Z Fold 4 for two years now and it’s been the best phone I’ve ever had. Desktop versions of websites, on my phone, without feeling cramped. Two apps side by side, both roughly the size of a usual phone screen. Huge screen for retro emulation using a Bluetooth controller. All with still having a small screen for one handed use and more traditional scrolling.

Games like Hearthstone, Gwent, Chess, Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition, Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic, feel way more playable.

At this point, using any other device feels limited and cramped in ways that a big screen doesn’t.

My only complaint has been price, and I only got mine because my company paid for it

New members means newly active paid subscriptions in runescape terms

There are some apartment buildings with shared Internet connections that are just open and public; It’s crappy but cheap if someone can’t afford individual connection

You know Valve doesn’t set the prices right? The developers do

You still have yet tob porpoise any same solutions.

What do you propose they “break up” into?

The price fixing clauses are about steam keys being sold off-platform

Fun fact: You can change which page your Steam client opens up to by default. I haven’t seen the store unless I wanted to in years.

Their market dominance isn’t because of anticompetitive practices, it’s because of customer-friendly practices. People like it, so people use it.

So does keepass

If your MFA is stored in your password manager, you’re not getting prompts to your phone about it. You’re just prompted for a otp code that you have to go out of your way to copy/paste or type in from the manager.

Funny troll is funny

The thing that makes it worth it to me is long, randomly generated passwords that I don’t have to know.

None of the sites and services I use require me to type out a password thanks to browser integration and auto type (for desktop apps and such), along with autofill service on android.

Then along with that I can even store other things like account recovery codes (for 2fa) or security questions (which also get randomly generated answers)… It’s a handy thing to have IMHO

Yeah but then you have to trust Dropbox

Ah, I’ve generally run my VPN primary exit node in a public cloud infrastructure host like Digital Ocean or AWS in order to provide a separate public IP from the rest of my stuff, and not give out my home IP to public Wi-Fi and such.

I like docker, as long as you use a good orchestration tool it’s a good way to declaratively define what should be running on your server, using a compose file or similar. There are a lot of benefits to the overhead of learning it, including running multiple instances of the same service on one machine without conflicts, and the ability to force your hosted apps to store all of their data in nice neat packages you can easily back up with something like Duplicity or Volumerize.

I actually run my containers on a small kubernetes cluster using VMs running k3s atop Proxmox, with persistence handled by a hyperconverged ceph cluster. All probably very overkill but it’s fun to play with and performs incredibly. Most folks can get away with a single server running containers with simple docker compose.

You’re welcome, feel free to ask any questions once you get there

If you know your way around a Linux terminal, or can follow simple terminal instructions, I always recommend folks host their own OpenVPN server. $5/month for a digital ocean instance and now I never have to worry about some provider hiking my VPN prices or snooping on my traffic.

Autism+ADHD life, I can’t stand to have emails in my inbox for more than a day and I also can’t be diligent enough to achieve that

You can dislike the statement all you want, but they literally do not have a way to know things. They provide a convincing illusion of knowledge through statistical likelihood of the next token occurring, but they have no internal mechanism for looking up information.

They have no fact repositories to rely on.

They do not possess the ability to know what is and is not correct.

They cannot check documentation or verify that a function or library or API endpoint exists, even though they will confidently create calls to them.

They are statistical models, calculating how likely the next token is based on transformations in a many-dimensional space in which the relationships between existing tokens are treated as vectors in a process for determining the next token.

They have their uses, but relying on them for factual information (which includes knowledge of apis and libraries) is a bad idea. They are just as likely to provide realistic answers as they are to make up fake answers and present them as real.

They are good for inspiration or a jumping off point, but should always be fact checked and validated.

They’re fantastic at transforming data from one format to another, or extracting data from natural language written information. I’m even using one in a project to guess at filling in a form based on an incoming customer email.
