That’s fine, just shop at the competitor that doesn’t do that.

…oh wait.

I’m not convinced it’s possible to make a Free Software finance tracker with the feature that matters – synchronizing with your bank accounts – because banks (at least in the US) don’t seem to be interested in letting you connect to their API unless you’re an 800 lb gorilla, like Intuit, or at least a for-profit middleman willing to constantly jump through hoops, like Plaid.

What it means is that they, inexplicably, haven’t yet fled to a country that isn’t turning fascist and censorious.

LOL, who said anything about being “framed?” 🔥 😃

With computer stuff, you can do even better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming

TL;DR: your documentation and your shell script (sequence of console commands you run to accomplish the task) can be the same file.

(Dunno what kind of chemistry you do, but you may have already come across this concept in the form of Jupyter notebooks or something like that.)

While I’m at it, I’d also like to mention Ansible and Git, for when you really want to keep good records and have a reproducible setup. Don’t worry about them immediately as it’s probably too overwhelming to learn all at once, but keep 'em in the back of your mind for later.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible to get by just trusting any particular guide without developing at least some actual understanding of the concepts underlying what you’re doing. The field is just too wide and rapidly changing for any source of info to be authoritative (and stay authoritative indefinitely after the guide is written), so it’s super important to develop the skill of looking up multiple different and possibly conflicting approaches to the task, thinking critically about them, and then synthesizing your own approach that works for your specific situation.

Could very well be. I’m using OpenWRT and basically did the bare minimum to get it to work.

Yeah, it’s only anecdotal but I feel like hobbyists like us, who do slightly unusual things without nefarious intent, who are the ones who get hit with these sorts of issues the most. For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

Side note: lemmy doesn’t tend to censor the word suicide, or kill themselves. It’s okay to use actual terms if you want. Not saying you have to, just that it’s allowed.

I would go so far as to say you should use the actual terms, in order to counter the societal chilling effect of the other platforms’ censorship.

Practical use: if you didn’t know other characters’ or NPCs’ sexual orientation before (and couldn’t just ask them and trust the answer for some reason), you could find it out by casting the spell and checking for rainbow eyes.

Your question is like asking how to convert a cake into flour, sugar, milk, butter and (unbroken!) eggs.

Sell or get subpoena’d; tomayto, tomahto.

I mean non-Free Software.

Labeling it as “SECURE” (implying the other option is insecure) is enough to make it seem underhanded to me.

In other words, it’s a dark pattern that tricks users into letting Plex MITM their connection.

Every non-Free Software will betray you eventually. It’s only a matter of time.

Is this a copypasta? I’m getting some deja vu reading it.

“Self-destructing” is like fetch: it isn’t gonna happen. Stop trying to make self-destructing happen!

(No, seriously: the ability to enforce self-destruction of a message on a computer implies a pervasive Hellscape of DRM. You really don’t actually want that.)

I’ve been using Duolingo. I get, and even agree with, most of the criticism of it, but I’m not sure anything else would actually work for me because the heavy gamification is what keeps me actually making progress at it.

Oui. “What method are you using?”
