  They will, just not in the US lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Guarantee Military Right to Repair Its Equipment⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s just in the US. They also have franchisees elsewhere that still have to pay for the franchise rights. They’re for sure not in the restaurant business though, at least not big time. That’s risky and costly so the franchisees get to take that risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Guarantee Military Right to Repair Its Equipment⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  McDonald’s was happy to do it because they’re not really in the restaurant owning business. They force their franchisees to use the exact ice cream machine they get paid by Taylor to enforce. It’s a literal racket

  Now the military part… Yeah, that’s fucked up, I always thought Uncle Sam got the right to repair their own shit but apparently not.

  I never knew this was a genre. Makes for great background noise though? I wouldn’t say it’s bad music, it’s just not memorable or notable to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean that’s what I do when it’s something small, but when it’s something that takes 10+ hours, that’s a lot of beer and standing.

  Though right now I just have an alarm to check it every half hour. Considering wiring up something with an arduino and appifying my meat without any proprietary tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: Netflix has made another minor change for their subscribers.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They put out a lot of uninspired trash and axe the good shows early, but they do have a couple of truly great shows.

  For quality originals though, Apple TV+. Highest ratio of good to bad content I’ve seen. Much smaller volume though.

  I’ve seen multiple tabbies do it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitcoin investor moves $8 billion worth of crypto after 14 years, originally bought for less than $210,000 — 80,000 BTC transferred from Satoshi-era wallet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In cash, but it was always risky. Couriers get intercepted, etc.

  That said, I don’t think BTC is the best for CIA. It’s publicly traceable and that’s always been known. Of course if they have untraceable bank accounts and used those to buy the BTC, then it’s not particularly relevant. The spies can use their own tactics to hide their income.

  He’s got a movie coming out next week and it’s also his 50th birthday today. No idea if he’s got any songs coming though, he’s only really been a featured artist on other people’s songs lately,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe someday 😌⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And you’re absolutely free to use it that way if the registry that handles is OK with it, but you just can’t expect people to instantly realize that your .tf site is a Team Fortress related site based on just the TLD, because the .tf doesn’t officially have anything to do with TF2, that was my point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨School legend⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Guarantee that plenty of boys have these thoughts at fairly early ages but most have either the common sense or sense of shame not to post it online. It’s something you’re supposed to keep private lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe someday 😌⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the official purpose of 2 letter TLDs, like it or not. Some countries have opted to sell them to everyone, but .ml definitely means Mali, not Marxism-Leninism.

  Since Mali lets anyone register domains with their TLD, you’re free to use it however you want, but you can’t expect everyone to know you’re using it because it also stands for Marxism-Leninism. It might also be a Machine Learning instance!

  They do mention their politics in some places but it’s definitely not outright obvious from their usage of the Mali TLD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe someday 😌⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ML stands for Mali, there’s no TLD for Marxism lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mullvad's ads are good⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think NordVPN is American. They just market heavily via American YouTubers. It has Lithuanian roots and is incorporated in The Netherlands according to Wikipedia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Canada has its own problems for sure, but Ted Cruz’s family moved to Texas when he was 4. He’s definitely more a product of American culture than Canadian culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber Eats or something idk⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s honestly shit your parents should teach you tbh. Though not everyone has a decent set so I agree on the school curriculum bit. Teach it in middle school for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mullvad's ads are good⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If I ever start selling any software I’ll gladly market it on Lemmy, but only because it would be a privacy preserving alternative to some enshittified existing service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mullvad's ads are good⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For other ports, you can use AirVPN. For 80 and 443, rent a cheap vps and use it as a reverse proxy, then point it to your actually open ports. Or just host on the cheap vps.

  I can confirm this despite likely being younger. Small group and sufficient alcohol helps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really don't want to talk about our problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair it’s also men doing this to other men mostly. Women participate in toxic masculinity too, but really, men give each other a lot of shit with very little support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really don't want to talk about our problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just get a project car. It costs money too, but you have a getaway from life, just go to your garage. And the end result is a cool car.

  I ask myself spicier questions than the therapist ever will anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millions of websites to get 'game-changing' AI bot blocker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, fair enough, I thought you meant just the user agent. Trouble with having a bot make it look like an actual user is looking at the data, is that it’s slow and inefficient. Trouble with paying humans to scrape the data is that it’s slow and inefficient. These companies want to ingest data ridiculously fast because there’s so much of it. If all else fails, they’ll resort to paying the content creators. But only if it’s data they really do think gives their model a competitive edge in some metric and they can’t pirate it. E.g I can see them paying for scientific research they can’t get from libgen, but not some rando’s blog post or local news website.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millions of websites to get 'game-changing' AI bot blocker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does cloudflare still look at the agent? I thought they have more reliable data points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millions of websites to get 'game-changing' AI bot blocker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can if you’re Cloudflare.

  Well naturally, that’s what they teach you in manhood 101. Did you skip the class?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In heat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think summer time is the superior timezone up here in Estonia. Look, the sunrise is already after 9 AM in December. Nobody’s gonna be seeing the sun before work or school anyway. But sunset is around 3:30 PM. Schoolkids could get an extra hour of sun after school by being on summer time in the winter.

  For the time period of the autumn clock shift, we get an 8:23 AM sunrise and a 5:45 PM sunset one day and then the next it’s 7:26 AM and 4:42 PM. You suddenly go from it being light outside when you finish work, to it already being dark. Because of winter time.

  In the spring, you suddenly get an hour of extra daylight after your work/school day. Who doesn’t want that? All you lose is that sunrise goes from 5:55 AM to 6:52 AM. But sunset goes from 7 to 8 PM basically

  Well that’s the ambient temperature graph I think. Wonder how the CPU temperature is affected. Is it also just a 0.7C increase or maybe more?
