Purge old stuff. Keep only what you really enjoy. It’s not too bad.

“here’s what to use instead”
…the same thing we always have been? Keepass or other password managers with randomly generated passwords?

Gotta start somewhere. Get on peertube.
Hell that’s the reason I’m here and not on Reddit.

Or use a different front end on mobile or unlock on Firefox. I haven’t seen a YouTube as in years. Also smarttube for Android tv.

I can’t say either way, I manage dozens of M365 tenants myself and usually what trips it is lack of SPF/dkim/dmarc or bulk senders. But again, not common to have independent mail providers these days but even Microsoft still makes Microsoft exchange server…
- Comment on Privacy-Focused Proton Mail Aids FBI in Uncovering ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester’s True Identity 1 week ago:
Just set up dkim, SPF, and dmarc properly and you should be good.

More and more I consider just self hosting. Does have obvious drawbacks though 😅

I thought it was Sony that was the issue behind the PC release? All the other fromsoftware games are on pc
- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 2 weeks ago:
Leadership is out of touch with the market/reality.
First, hardware costs are going way up. People will be less likely to buy multiple hardware platforms to play your exclusive games.
Second, I’m not buying a PS4 or 5 or 6 just to play Bloodborne. Literally the only reason I care about this.
But that’s okay, there’s plenty of other things to play and it’s only getting better behind an emulator so you may lose a purchase there.

I’d be all in on community driven networks if one existed around here. Perhaps I need to start…
“Oh ya here’s the community Plex server. Heres our community forum.”
Etc.
- Comment on AI-Generated Passwords Are Apparently Quite Easy to Crack 2 weeks ago:
Lol I have so many questions:
-
Why would you use AI to generate passwords?
-
Why would you consume so much resources for a simple algorithm which has existed for decades?
-
Who is doing this?

My gripe on a browser is I want one that whe. I click a link it’s opened in a container by default so it can’t scoop up all my cookies and browsing history.
Right now my flow is Firefox focus as default browser, then if it’s a page I want to view later or keep open I share it to Firefox. Kind of annoying but ideally I have this in just one browser.
And as I write this and checked, Firefox for Android now does this lol. Vivaldi, the one recommended in the article does not. Not to mention I try and support something that is not chrome-based. We need alternatives

Regular folks. Tbh I default my clients to it lol. Syncs their shit in PC upgrades which makes it easier for me. If they install something else, whatever.

Oh, you mean Microsoft 365 where UIs all clash, familiar buttons are moved every other month or put into a different admin center, and how disjointed the whole platform is when you want to administer the whole thing? You don’t say…

That’s cool I guess. I have a shelf full of switch games. And a NAS full of hundreds of movies, tv shows, audio books, music and more. I’ll take digital so long as I’m in control.

You can save a few bucks a month though if you have Microsoft business premium copilot windows app Xbox Live pro plus plus though. Maybe look at that SKU instead. It also includes Microsoft 365 office productivity pro plus with copilot

I miss computing in the early 2000s. You could do so much and your OS worked with you instead of aggressively trying to gobble up all your personal information to feed AI and hoard it all to turn it against you to target you with ads or put you in a box when you shop somewhere.
- Comment on Microsoft 365 Copilot Mobile: Auto Uploads to OneDrive Raise Privacy Risks 3 weeks ago:
I’d been going on and off Linux for years for personal computing. In 2012 I was full switched, and didn’t give windows another look until sometime in covid when I was playing through doom eternal or something. Had an annoying bug on Linux where if I ever switched virtual desktops it would freeze.
So I was only using my computer at this time to play doom and used windows for this time.
Then windows 11 came out. And I had to use it for work too. I can’t believe at this stage we have this level of bugs and glitches and ignored quirks for so long. When I booted back to Linux I think I made an audible sigh of relief.
It’s honestly crazy how much better it is. No bullshit on waiting for cloud shit to sync and auto updates for printer software, VPN clients, and other bullshit software. It’s all just there and waiting for you to use it and update it at your leisure.

The shitty part is it’s your tax dollars you’re smashing, but you’d think they’d get the hint and just give up on it.

That’s alarming, but how much can these really vary? I’d be surprised if a lot of vehicles weren’t the same.
