My guess is that some businesses get tax breaks from municipalities in exchange for filling office spaces with warm bodies. The idea is that people in office buildings support local businesses by buying lunch, and sometimes grabbing a pint after work.

I’m not trying to excuse this trend, in fact as an IT person myself I 100% agree with the sentiment, I’m just trying to share what I’ve been told.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Apple’s CSAM scanning. You know, hang on to the photos as evidence, and, for an added bonus, sell more iCloud storage because the “System Data” now exceeds the free iCloud data storage quota. Win-win!

The “do you know where your files are?” reminds me of their past security leaks and breaches. 🤔

My order of preference for domain registrars is:

  1. Cloudflare (doesn’t support all TLDs, unfortunately)
  2. Porkbun (does have wide TLD support, and has no-bullshit pricing, albeit higher than Cloudflare)
  3. Namecheap. They’re cheap and Canadian… no other reason than just a backup to have.

Link handling (lemmy.ca)
submitted 1 year ago by krnl386@lemmy.ca to c/voyagerapp@lemmy.world

I was wondering, did anyone notice how internal links (e.g., !voyagerapp@lemmy.world or https://lemmy.world/c/voyagerapp) aren’t handled by the app? I was wondering if this could be detected and handled by the app as an internal (in-app) link, as opposed to an external link (i.e., open link within the app instead of launching a web browser view). I suppose that’s harder with the Fediverse, but probably doable.

I bet legally, the establishment owners aren't required to give "service charges" to their staff the same way they are required to give 100% of the tips...

This is some shady shit, IMO.

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer (so I don't know WTF I am talking about), so if someone here that knows the law could comment on "service charges" vs. "tips" in this context, I would love to know.

I've been testing the Orion browser for macOS and iOS/iPasOS for a few days. It's WebKit-based, and Apple OS exclusive. First impressions are positive, although I haven't put it through its paces (check multi-device iCloud settings sync, push tabs to its limits, dig into exactly how it protects privacy by syncing through iCloud, etc). Would love to hear your thoughts on this, especially if anyone has tried it.

Out of the box, this browser purports to be more private than Safari, Firefox, Brave and Chrome (not exactly high bars to beat, except maybe Brave/Firefox?). The killer feature, however, is support for Chromium and Firefox extensions... on iOS/iPadOS. The two extensions I tried (AdNauseam and Youtube SponsorBlock) don't appear to work; at least their extension web pages don't appear to function. Not sure if that's intentional, or if I messed something up.

In any case, would love to see some feedback from the community here.

KimDotCom’s original MegaUpload did get shut down after a police raid. However, he rebooted the site with zero knowledge encryption 2013. The new site is mega.nz and it’s been running for quite some time. You can read about it here.

Redhat is honestly turning into bizarro Google. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice progress! (lemmy.ca)

I just wanted to share some love and appreciation for the devs. The app is shaping up very nicely. I’m looking forward to what the future holds for this app.

Everytime I open it, I discover a new feature or tweak that puts a smile on my face. In particular, the latest beta on Testflight handles images and embeds very well. The WYSIWIM Markdown editor and preview tool is a very nice touch as well. Keep on trucking; you’re on the right path.

Trying to understand why will cause you even more pain. My advice: treat it as a funeral/loss of a loved one. The time has simply come. Do your mourning and move on. Dwelling on it will only cause my pain and reopen old wounds.
