I assumed it was an abortion statement (pro-choice, as in, "don't make women resort to unsafe back alley clotheshanger abortions").

As soon as a bank offers any sort of fraud protection, though, security becomes a bank issue (in addition to a "you" issue).

Not at all saying I agree with the banks on this, but I think that may be part of the thinking.

Electricity is pretty expensive where I live, but solar opportunity is fairly good. Selling power back to grid is nowhere near as cost effective as using solar directly.

So, I could see a compelling use case of, "I want my laundry done by X o'clock. Start the wash when it'll be mostly on my cheap solar."

But yeah. I would never buy one unless it supports local-only/VLAN-restricts-internet-access usage.

Can you isolate the call to the sound from the DevTools? And if so, does DevTools allow you to edit the function? Perhaps you could GET/POST something on localhost which could trigger a shell script.

Can someone ELI5 why this even matters/is such a big deal? Does the default DE have its tentacles so deep in the distro that it can't be changed by users to suit their preferences?

I run i3 on Debian, and...well, actually, there is no "and," I just installed the WM I wanted and that was it. And as I recall the installer asked what DE/WM I wanted to install anyway.

Yes, just not the people who hang out on Linux communities on federated social media.

They appear to also have blocklists independent of "shit ton of traffic." I have a VPN to my VPS (Oracle), which has a public IP (and I'm the only user). I also get whoa pardner'd when going through that VPN.

Perhaps I fall into the "we don't want other people scraping our site unless they pay" category though. I would make sense to just block off all VPS/cloud IP blocks (e.g., AWS, Azure, Oracle, Google Cloud...).

I agree.

I think a good example is how Slack started off by having good IRC integration, then slowly added features which were incompatible with IRC, and finally terminated IRC integration.

So clearly, Slack killed IRC, right? (...of course they didn't!)

I see the potential situation with Threads as similar.

Maybe I'm naive but I kinda don't get it. People talk about defederating as if...what, all Meta IP addresses will be magically blocked from scraping your content? Any script kiddie can harvest Lemmy/Mastodon/whatever content.

Has Meta shown itself to be a bad actor? Yes. Should my email provider block all emails from Meta? Well...that's a bit much I think? If Facebook email still existed, should my email provider block that?

My point is yes, Meta bad, but all Thread users also bad? I thought

and apparently I'm very wrong here

that the Federation paradigm was kinda like email. And the only email I want blocked is a domain where every single user is malicious, not a domain run by a malicious entity which has normal people as users, who aren't necessarily very tech literate.

I don't actually care, but I just find it a little confusing tbh.

It cannot be overstated how much of an impact a dishwasher and in-unit/in-home laundry have on quality of life.

I think parent is hosting on their own physical hardware, just using a VPS for a public IP. I do the same (I use WireGuard instead, but similar idea). The VPS is doing the same thing as Cloud flare in your setup. I'm a proponent of this setup because the only reliance is on a totally generic VPS, of which there are many providers.

Cycling? Great, increased funding for infrastructure and increased general awareness. Amateur radio? Lower prices for rigs, innovation, and more contacts to be made.

If your interest in a hobby is based on its exclusivity, it may be that you're more interested in exclusivity than in the hobby itself...
