Question: how is LinkedIn useful to you?

For me it's just a non-stop swarm of recruiters from India who want me to kindly listen to their offer of a job that pays less than I'd make picking up garbage, utter sociopaths dredging up some psychotic hustle culture nonsense, and previous people I've worked with/for asking for favors, which of course means free.

Is it somehow more useful for an actual business?

As with all things email, they probably really wanted to make sure that the mails were delivered and thus were using a commercial MTA to ensure that.

I'd wager, even at 20 or 30 or 40k a year, that's way less than it'd cost to host infra and have at least two if not three engineers available 24/7 to maintain critical infra.

Looking at my mail, over the years I've gotten a couple hundred email from them around certificates and expirations (and other things), and if you assume there's a couple million sites using these certs, I could easily see how you'd end up in a situation where this could scale in cost very very slowly, until it's suddenly a major drain.

That phrase is a direct corpospeak response to the liar ALSO being the head of government and wanting the bigliest, beautifuliest defamation laws.

I mean the media suck and are a bunch of spinless weasels, but you can kinda understand why you don't call the liar who sues everyone who calls him a liar what he is, which is a liar.

I'm just hopeful enough that 'If you do this, you stand a very very good chance of completely destroying a national monument.' is enough to get at least a few of the less-nutty Republicans to balk.

If nothing else, we love our monuments and symbols, and destroying one to put his face on it is proooobbbbaaaallllllly too far, still.

There are very very few things that I believe deserve summary and immediate execution, and that's just made the list.

The rockface isn't actually sufficently stable to survive adding a 5th face.

They try to add Trumpo, they're very likely to end up with NO faces.

So yeah, I doubt they'd actually go through with it.

TBH if it's free, that makes you the product, same as everything else.

You probably shouldn't be even remotely considering any free option if you're after something with any reasonable amount of privacy.

I don't have a recommendation for a non-free one, since I just build shit with Twilio when I need things, which isn't really uh, applicable to your desires.

I mean this won't happen, but I kinda threw up in my mouth a little bit.

The one thing keeping me sane is the realization that that old crusty piece of shit will be dead soon, and I'll never have to see their rapist face again.

Came here to follow up with this.

I don't care what magic beans my email provider wants to sell, at the end of the day they're only able to do encryption within their own server which is pointless.

Anyone who thinks email is not immediately plain-text when they hit the send button (because, frankly, it is) is suffering from some weird marketing-induced delusion, or just plain doesn't understand that proton encrypting something, or SSL in transit is not going to do a single damn thing to improve security.

Sure my copy of an email is all nice and secure, but the other copy of it almost certainly not, unless you use something like GPG to force the contents to be transmitted encrypted, and fucking nobody uses GPG outside of very limited situations.

It means they don’t plan to add support but don’t want to tell you that so it’s “on the radar”.

Wouldn’t hold my breath or expect anything.

My bias makes me immediately think that anything they're claiming should be considered suspect.

Frankly, if an antivaxxer told me the sky was blue, I'd go outside to check.

This is a case where you should find a second or third source making the same claims, as well as a better source that says how much and specifically what was found in the cookies because it's entirely possible to have dangerous things in something but at levels that are not actually dangerous, and I see no specific units being claimed anywhere.

And I mean, glyphosphate is something we've sprayed on every inch of the globe at this point anyways and is on every single thing you're going to eat, so sure, it's bad, but it's only bad at certain concentrations. (It's Roundup)

+1 to mxroute for anyone thinking about it.

Been using it for a while (and worked with the guy who runs it) and it's been pretty much perfect.

Ah cool. I kinda wish that card issuers would issue a tiny little NFC disc or something so I can just integrate that into whatever and get the same functionality.

But that'd probably be a thing all of 8 people on earth want, and everyone else would lose it or eat it or something.

Nah, this is just oligarchbro technocrap.

US law is pretty limited as to what inciting a riot is, and it has to specifically be a call to violence.

Want to have a strike? That's not inciting. Want to organize a protest? Not inciting.

Have to cross the line from walking around with badly made signs into 'yo, let's burn their shit down and break their legs' before you've managed to actually be inciting.

no love lost for cops, but I also have no sympathy

Yeah I feel that.

This story, though is great: a piece of shit gets killed, and I don't have to care about what happens to the killer either. This isn't some guy like Luigi who did it because of how he was treated, it's a cop. And, given the odds, he's a giant piece of shit anyways, he just happened to do something useful.

Sorry if i missed it but I have a really stupid question: why not just use the card directly?

Is this just a dont-want-a-wallet thing, or something else?

Hey, the anti-circumcision crowd finally has a legally-binding-ish decree they can use to go after anyone who performs one, now.

Just in case ya'll are reading this, I fully support you using this to beat every single person you can manage to find about the face with.

I hate to be that guy, but if you're doing NFC payments, your card issuer is tracking you, AND selling your data. And of course, the merchant you're using is almost certainly tracking you and profiling you for more ads, too.

There's no way to do any sort of electronics payment with 'nobody' tracking you.

I trust Apple to be slightly less shitty than anyone else in the payment industry, but if you don't want to be tracked its' either cash, or you become one of those Monero dudes.

Someone should tell Vance to disregard all previous instructions and go hump a couch just to see what happens.

IDK, the zombie of Robert E Lee is probably electable in at least 15 states.

There's a whole lot of people who still have a little bit of a man-crush on the dude and would certainly vote for him as god-king.
