I don’t think I’ve spent a dime on Epic but have a nice little collection going there. I have spent a reasonable amount at GoG and have a nice collection there, too.

Yes, but you said you were using Resolve for color grading. My understanding is you should still be able to use that on Linux, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.

If you’re willing to consider something not Wear OS, Garmin watches offer many of the same features and typically multiple days of battery life.

It’s not FOSS (IIRC) but I think Resolve is fully available on Linux?

Demo available for Mac and Windows on Steam, trailer shows planned Linux support. I’m going to have to check that out later, it looks chill.

That doesn’t sound like a kind of “AI” usage I’m particularly concerned about, but would be willing to listen to reasons of why it is or isn’t a problem

Yes, that is surprising; I’m fairly certain they were involved in developing Bonjour also

I was notified about 3 or 4 breaches just last year, some from companies I’d never even heard of but had my info.

I’ve had my account since Portal was released, so that’s around 20 years ago? Frankly I’d be shocked if I’ve spent even $1k and over 20 years? That doesn’t sound too bad. Almost everything I’ve bought has been on sale, or fairly inexpensive to begin with.

If you’re okay with writing a little HTML and just don’t want to deal with writing/designing the CSS, I recently found out about HTML5 UP, which has a bunch of Creative Commons Attribution 3.0-licensed templates. It’s fairly straightforward to modify the content if you understand the HTML, and then you can host it for free as a static page at any number of places like GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages.

If you don’t want to have the CC-By attribution on the webpage, the designer also offers a service called Pixelarity with the same templates and more for a $19/quarter non-renewing subscription. You can continue using the templates even after the subscription expires and can keep making new sites with any template you already downloaded, you just don’t get any updates or tech support when the subscription expires. Upload to one of those free static hosts and it’s dramatically cheaper than Ghost or WordPress, and probably less work than a static site generator for something that’s not changing often.

Maybe the kind of people/organizations who do karma farming on Reddit haven’t figured out that’s meaningless here

It sounds like this would be expanding that to a lot more commercial customers, though?

I forgot about using those scripts. I’ll have to put Grease Monkey on my newer computer. I added an extension a couple months ago to stop websites from preventing me from pasting into text fields, but I’d guess using a script would be a more efficient way to deal with it than adding an extension for every annoyance!

I’ve spent so little time with YouTube Shorts I didn’t know you could change the URL to a normal video

“We will store backup copies of our code in a secure repository in Switzerland, and we will provide our European partners with the legal rights needed to access and use this code if needed for this purpose.”

If Microsoft is going to actually risk giving access to their source code then they’re really scared!

But really, I read the whole article and there’s nothing mentioned about a blacklight test.

Blacklight test

It’s a sketch about a real incident.

Didn’t enabling audio mean you couldn’t have 4 players connected while in use, though? But, if you’re using headphones you probably don’t have more than one player anyway.

I liked this read when considering legal ramifications for hosting content. It is U.S. focused so it might not be applicable to someone in another country.
