  Kind of the old Windows vs Mac problem though. It gets so many exploits because it is so ridiculously popular. No one is going to bother looking for exploits in shit that no one uses right? I’m sure they’ve got problems like any project but I’m not convinced they’re THAT bad. Not to mention a lot of exploits you see are plugins doing dumb shit, not WP itself.

  He shits on everyone all the time. It’s not exclusive to LG or even Apple. It’s just whatever happens to come to his attention. Which is basically pick a company and they’re doing something horrible.

  One of my favorite skits for that: youtu.be/7MFtl2XXnUc?si=i6He7wklxdSt8gpn

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I opted weekly so I could store longer time periods. If I want to go a month back I just need 4 instead of 30. At least that was the main Idea. I’ve definitely realized I fucked something up weeks ago without noticing before lol.

  I have weekly backups of my VMs in Proxmox. Fuck it lol.

  This is the answer. Pretty much every ISP blocks 80 They say it is because worms use it blah blah but it is exactly what you think. They don’t want you running a web server. You’re probably going to have to do the DNS challenge instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which one are you?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Team Rigid for the warranty and frequent clearance at HD. They’re good tools for someone like me this isn’t CONSTANTLY using them probably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pocketcasts fixed that a while ago. You can set the sorting of episodes for each podcast and then it plays in that order.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney+ has started cracking down on password sharing in the US⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I cancelled. It’s just that I’m a small minority of people. The number that cancelled was apparently less than the people who signed up for their own account. Oh well. Netflix wasn’t that good anymore anyway. I barely used that app. Disney Plus however I’m not going to cancel. That one is worth it to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I use the Steelseries sonar stuff because that makes it so that inputs never change. When my headset turns off it redirects the output to my speakers and when I turn the headset back on, it goes back to it. Virtual audio devices are very nice in general lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s surely why it was originally called Phoenix!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly have no idea what this guy is talking about. I use dev tools in Firefox all the time and they’re pretty much the same as Chrome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google maps adding sponsored detours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a main road between my parents’ house and the freeway that doesn’t deviate AT ALL and it tells me blah miles to this spot and then just continue straight. It makes no fucking sense. I still don’t think they’re paying for an ad. I have no love for Google but this seems a little much imo. There’s no point to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google maps adding sponsored detours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It does that because it thinks there’s a bend in the road or some silly shit. Mine tells me to turn after the Taco Bell into a place because the turn in isn’t a named road. I don’t think it’s trying to advertise to me. That’s just where the turn is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police in Canada look into tech that accesses your home security cameras⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I refuse to own Ring cameras. Any company that has a program at all to share with the police is a nope from me. I don’t care if they say it’s opt in, it won’t be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity May Never Win Back the Developers It Lost in Its Fee Debacle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it’s pretty obvious this was a greedy and terrible idea. The fact they proposed this at all alone is enough to never trust them again. It’s not that they didn’t know. They knew. No one would be okay with this cash grab and they know it. They just didn’t realize HOW big the pushback was going to be but they DID know what they were doing was wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Announces iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus With USB-C Port, Dynamic Island, Frosted Glass Design⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it really matter when you put a case on it anyway? I’d prefer plastic. Glass is stupid and breakable. We shouldn’t be trying to put MORE of it on phones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Discord is better than IRC imo. I used IRC for a VERY long time and Discord was the one that finally killed it for me. We’ll see if it lasts. I guess if they kill themselves (and they keep trying to), IRC will still be there waiting. Used to be on Rizon!
