I’ve used them the past 3 years for my taxes, great experience and never had a single issue for what that’s worth They don’t spam my email and phone unlike Intuit (even after I deleted my account)

I’m not sure what the solution is here. Personally, in-person college is a non-starter for a number of health reasons. Online classes was a huge boon to people like me, I never would have been able to get a degree otherwise. I know I’m in a

Also how is gray a male color? If anything I’d say gray is non-binary.

I wonder what percentage of that $167M will go to the ~1400 victims of this hack (that we know about)

The risk isn’t that Signal itself will add AI features, it’s more that it will be built-in to your OS that’s running Signal (Apple Intelligence, Windows Recall, etc). These types watch everything you do on-device by default and learn a ton

Idk why you’d want to get used to it. I’m very lucky to have a job that doesn’t mandate AI use, and as far as I can tell I haven’t been hit by any work AI emails. My social media bubble on Mastodon is extremely anti-AI, I pretty much never

In what way is knowing the full legal name of a developer relevant to end users? I work in the App Store analytics space and even I have never once thought “I wonder what the full legal name and address of the app developer is. I’d love to

“People on the left think this is good because it makes giving social services easier” Source? I’d like to meet a single person that feels this way. People on the left in my experience would much rather just give money directly to people, U

Since when has either party ever cut military spending? I wish Dems were as cool as you say.

Probably a fine article, but I got halfway through and still had no idea what Gumroad is, or what the “creator economy” is aside from people online making money… somehow

I know it’s not common but I’ve kept a client-isolated open wifi hotspot on my property for a long time. You never know when someone might be in the neighborhood and need a connection! So far, a single client has connected in 4 years and I

Idk, was diagnosed very young and haven’t seen anyone professionally about it as an adult. Tbh I didn’t know there were different subtypes until your comment. I struggled a lot with impulse control but that’s managed well with meds. I often

I’m sure this works for some people. Personally I loathe social interaction of any kind, and mixing that with engineering gets me to my mental/emotional limits much faster. On my own I can work about 2 hours on and 10 mins off, sometim

It’s free unless you’re rolling in traffic, it’s extremely easy to setup, and CF can handle pretty much all of your infra with tools way better than AWS. Also you can buy a cheaper ipv6 only VPS and run it thru free CF proxy to allow ipv4 t

Good article, although it stresses the need to have trusted friends to protest with but doesn’t explain how to find, make, keep these friends. To be fair, I’ve been trying to figure that part put for like 10 years but it would be cool to ha

Non-tesla infra has gotten a lot better over the past couple years, at least according to this one YouTube EV road trip I watched recently: https://youtu.be/ouPiwt5hxXQ

I would happily pay a reasonable monthly subscription to this site or similar. No problem paying for a service that treats users with respect. Also using this site has taught me all sorts of things that likely made me some money indirectly.

Hadn’t thought about that, you make a good point. However in that case the author didn’t feel it necessary to explicitly say the image is not AI generated, which means they likely share very different views about AI artwork and I’ll probabl

Not OP, but it’s extremely easy to tell if an article uses AI images. Are there vague images padding the article for SEO purposes? If so, is there attribution to an artist? If they contain images and don’t attribute, I avoid the website. Ei

There’s many good reasons, but for me it’s that I don’t want companies profiting off of my posts that have no intention of profit sharing. When I make a Youtube video and companies run ads on it, I get a piece of that pie (assuming I meet t

I’ve always wondered why heat pumps don’t also have a water line attached. We water cool servers because water is a much better conductor than air, and cold tap is usually colder than outside air. We should be misting tap onto the condenser

Private torrent trackers have it figured out I think. Invite only, and if someone breaks the rules the entire invite chain gets banned from the site. You invited someone who invited a bot? Sorry buddy, find another website.

You don’t even need to take Android TV offline. Just replace the ad-ridden launcher with ATV launcher, and remove the default one with adb. Also replace the youtube app with SmartTube. Very happy with this setup.

I’m big into competitive Call of Duty. On that game (and any other shooter that uses a controller), the biggest undetectable cheat is auto recoil adjust. People call it a “chronus” for the same reason people call it Kleenex. You download pr

A non-publicly traded company doesn't have to strictly adhere to the bottom line. If they have steady cash flow, and the people running the company have a strong stance on AI, why would they have to change? Their app is fantastic, and
