It often amazes me how incompetent some leadership can be.

I had LibreBooking running for a bit as a solution to an unrelated problem (scheduling a piece of equipment), but it may also fit your use case.

Are the instructions followed, though?

I think you may have got autocorrected, Obtainium is the name.

It seems many didn’t even read the quoted part of the article. The $3 million payment is to one person. Yes, it’s pennies to the giant companies, but this could open the door to thousands of similar lawsuits, quickly turning that cost into not just pennies.

I really like Quantic Dream’s games. A little bit of action sprinkled in to a narrative-driven walking sim where your choices can impact the game really gets you emotionally connected. Their use of facial mocap really takes the immersion to the next level too.

I highly recommend all of Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human if that’s the sort of games you enjoy.

Those second and third backups can really come in handy if something on the host blows up.

I’ve got my main PBS backups on an internal array on the host, secondary backups to an external HDD plugged into the host, then a third separate node (ThinkCentre mini-pc) backing up to a pair of HDDs I trade out monthly for an offsite copy.

I think it’s important to consider not backing up media, etc that you can relatively easily re-obtain. Makes the storage requirements for redundant backups a fair bit more palatable.

I always gotta share Brian Lagerstrom when I can.

Here’s a video with an ‘everything dough’. Bread, baguette, pizza, bagels, pretzels can all be made with really simple ingredients.

Here’s one for ‘Grandma pizza’, what OP reminded me of. Just a tasty sheet pan pizza topped with whatever combination of stuff you have available.

Ah yes, I’m sure there won’t be any exploitative employment at any of these operations.

I feel like the tap pay would be what I miss most, but I saw someone suggest just getting a case that can hold your payment card, and it’s essentially the same thing.

Yeah I unsmarted my TV and just threw Mint on an old laptop. FreeTube works great on there.

Easy now, henceforth is a pretty big word.

Or perhaps ban prediction markets altogether? The existence of them can preclude events, and is especially dangerous when such markets are in any way violent.

I’d really recommend the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. It addresses the exact thing that this policy is trying to tackle.

In short, regarding many of the comments already here, the current (but unenforced) internet ‘age of consent’ is 13, essentially the exact age where girls and boys are most vulnerable to developing addictive habits and where (in-person) social connection is most needed.

The “just parent your kids” argument falls flat, because kids will find a way around even the most savvy of digital parental controls.

The “f off govment” argument really doesn’t help either. Should we eliminate minimum age requirements for the purchase of other addictive substances like tobacco, alcohol and marijuana? Of course not. Kids addicted to social media exhibit the same symptoms as those addicted to other things, and the health effects can be even more detrimental. Why should it be regulated any differently?

My biggest concern is how they’re going to implement age verification, because there are many privacy-invasive wrong ways, but a few privacy respecting right ways as well.

Don’t underestimate the determination of a kid who is time rich and cash poor.

Yes, social media is detrimental for adolescent development, but it’s also pretty terrible for everyone else as well. Blocking access to a portion of the population is only a band aid, and is likely to grow into a terribly insecure implementation of age verification just waiting to be compromised.

Regulate the predatory nature of the platforms, not the users.

I believe there’s an admin option to allow 3rd party TOTP generators, so perhaps your IT admin turned it off. M$ doesn’t make it a terribly conspicuous option when setting up 2FA as well.

You can use a different authenticator with M$ accounts. Just choose to set up with a different app. Aegis is nice.

I quite like my Razr. I’m sure if they’re aiming to be a true alternative to the mainstream OSs, they’ll be including many of the mainstream features

Good to know. If I’m using it, it’s through a VPN to my local network, but I do have it set up at family members’ houses through the external link too.

I don’t think it is, there are differences in their terms for these tunnels and other services. I don’t recall the specifics, but I did look it up before I set up the same thing.

I think there was something with the tunnel not actually running on the CDN.
