Data backups need to be with different providers.
First of all, the main backup should be on a system you own yourself. Preferably one you have at home, physically.

Make the bad even worse. Is there a word for this?
- Comment on AI chatbots are becoming popular alternatives to therapy. But they may worsen mental health crises, experts warn 1 day ago:
They are no alternative at all if any of the reports of AI “therapists” to recommend suicide to depressed people or to take drugs as a treat to recovering addicts.
- Comment on I wish there was an uninhabited, autonomous zone for folks who want "freedom" to play out their dangerous ideas away from the rest of society 1 day ago:
How about a boat in international waters?
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 2 days ago:
That’s not a statement. It’s just a lame excuse and attempt to escape the blame for their behavior.
- Comment on Yeah 3 days ago:
No need for that. Have a local server. I don’t use git, it’s useless for what I’m doing, and Subversion is fine.
- Comment on St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed 3 days ago:
Oh wonderful. Replacing all IT because they were hacked? Let me guess, they will use Windows, Exchange, and MS Office again on the new system. The software triumvirate screaming “please hack me”.
- Comment on Are there any AI services that don't work on stolen data? 4 days ago:
There are no legal sources big enough to train an AI on the level required to even perform basic interaction.

This is rather high on the cringe list.
- Comment on Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg writes a manifesto on bringing "personal superintelligence" to everyone to improve humanity, but doesn't even define what superintelligence means. 4 days ago:
AIs are a long way away from even normal intelligence. Currently, they are parrots with dictionaries. They have no insight or real reflection on what they are doing. I am not sure I will see real artificial intelligence in my lifetime.

We did last night. It was interesting to see it again, knowing how its end.
- Comment on What were the original antiperspirants before modern day ones? 4 days ago:

Alum stone.

We are just bingewatching the first season before the second comes in, and when I saw the question, I knew the one true answer.

Moosa Mostafa. Don’t know this guy? In ‘Wednesday’, he plays the beekeeper student.

How would I know? uBlock keeps the shit off the machine.

I thought more of Wero or Taler.
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 6 days ago:
The biggest problem of this is probably the overlap between the “I want wireless power in the house” and the “The radiation from my WiFi router is killing me” crowd.
- Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal 6 days ago:
I’m expecting many services to accept alternative payment methods soon, just to beon the safe side from meddling ex-monopolies.
- Comment on US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter. 6 days ago:
It is not censorship. This is not a government telling you what to publish or not. This is just finding out how a company is abusing its product to influence politics.
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 6 days ago:
If you want to drive your vacuum cleaner by wireless energy, you’ll probably need energy levels in the air that would also kill flies and mosquitoes. And pets and people, too.

I remember my old GameMaster, who had defined that priests of a certain elven god who was both male and female could change their gender at will.
So the priest in the group had an outlandish, but genius idea. Other group member: How did you get that idea? Priest: snaps fingers, changes sex to female Female Intuition! snaps fingers, changes back.
- Comment on The worst day to get Groundhog Day'd would be when you have an early flight in the morning 1 week ago:
Like happened to a friend of ours. The flight, not the groundhog day.
She went on a trip with members of the council, and someone had been sitting on the invitation long enough before booking the flight until all sensible time slots were gone. So the flight was scheduled at 4am, so they had to be at the airport before 3am, which means leaving at 1:30am latest. Then they would have to wait a few hours for a connection, and another 1-2 hours of driving to get to their destination.

We may not be in, but she may be from.
- Comment on Two major AI coding tools wiped out user data after making cascading mistakes 1 week ago:
Sucks to be stupid enough to use AI instead of professionals. Especially when they actually trust AI more than any human programmer. Because human programmers code gets checked and verified before it moves to production.

How about just blocking Windows instead?
- Comment on On Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT encouraged me to cut my wrists 1 week ago:
