Depends in what field. Proton, at least, doesn’t scan your email contents and metadata to sell it on to advertisers.

So basically “pasteurisation was found to have worked”.

I think the only answer is “Doom”

And here was I thinking locking up a murderer is for the protection of the public…

Slightly misleading title, I was surprised that the Russians advanced to Kyiv with 36 tanks.

Slightly wondering whether this is a roundabout way of creating Ad-Free YouTube playback capabilities. “Hey community, we are adding support for ad enabled streams. Would be a shame if you hated that so much you wrote some ad blocking plugins.”

Depends on how you define private. It’s not “private” in the sense that it is accessible to the public interner. It is only more privacy-friendly in the sense that say, unlike Facebook, there is no need to use your IRL ID data, there are no weird algorithms baked in, and no targeted ads. Nothing would keep 3rd-party scrapers from profiling your posts that are public, but at least by default it’s not evil.

… until Meta will arrive on the fediverse…

Nothing. The fleur-de-lis is a commonly used decorative symbol, it was used as a symbol of chastity and virtue before any families adopted it for themselves. It is mostly used as a symbol in connection with the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Joseph

Depends on your sector of work. Imagine you’re a therapist or a lawyer…

Kindof proud to say I never installed anything after Windows 10, including that.

I don’t think it’s about a craving for centralisation but for newcomers and people still learning the core ideas about decentralisation it’s about a promise of more active engagement and more varied content.

Hi guys,

So I've been experiencing a lot of issues lately with my Macbook losing WiFi after waking up from sleep. I have no idea what is causing it, it was never an issue until about 3 weeks ago when I started using an external monitor and a dock (but have no idea whether it is correlated).

Tried all the tricks I read online: Reset SMC, PRAM, remove all saved WiFi networks and locations, create new ones, reset router... The only thing that seems to fix it is if I reboot the Macbook.

I fiddled around with the Network settings and set the macbook to use "DHCP with Manual address" and that seems to give me partial connectivity: some apps will work, some won't. Some websites will load, some others won't.

Does anyone have a permanent fix for this? It's incredibly annoying that I step away from the workstation for 5 minutes, come back, and find that I have no internet again.

Hi!

I'm looking at manually entering quite a bit of relational data and I am wondering whether anyone knows of a nice GUI tool to do it?

What I'm looking at doing is something like matching up names with addresses. I have a table with a list of people, and I have a list of properties. I want to create a table where I could pair up people with properties. I would like the ID's to be entered into the Database, but I would like to see names and addresses on the front-end. Preferably when I click into the new relational table's columns it would give me an auto-complete list of possible values as I type. (So offer suggestions for names / addresses).

I'm looking for something web-based or MacOS / Linux compatible.

Does anyone know of such a tool?
