I was wondering how real this statement, so I did the napkin math:

The average american salary is just shy of 60k[1]. If we follow a 50/30/20 budget[2], 20% goes into savings, so 12k. Assuming that the savings of an average person is roughly similar to a company’s revenue, we get 36.46B / 12k ~= 3 million times more revenue per year

So this 1.2B fine is equivalent to: 1.2B / 3M = 467$ for an average American

(I repeat, this is napkin math, but I think it still shows how small the fine is)

Maybe i missed something with the curing, but I think that the whole joke is that smoked salmon is good, and I can get behind that food take 😋

If Apple users could read, they would be mad!

Cool, I will be able to solve those advent of code challenges without optimising my code!

I bought Outer Wilds recently (my consumerism couldn’t resist the 40% sale on steam), friends recommended it and I know nothing about it, but only time will tell if I’ll play the game someday or if it’ll stay untouched for years…

Why is Obsidian on the list?? How is a closed source electron app for editing markdown files a good cybersecurity tool/privacy respecting? I could use nano to do the same job with much more confidence for my privacy.

I mean, if a service is free… You’re the product, you’ve never been the customer 🙃

Good bot

Just… Don’t use edge altogether? There are so many browsers with better privacy (librewolf, brave, ungoogled chromium, etc). Any reasons why you want to stick to edge so badly?

Anyone able to read the article without logging in?

Probably if your country judges illegal to connect to the tor network, but not on a VPN. Iirc, a bridge could also hide the fact that you’re connecting to the tor network tho

I can confirm, I’m running Android 13, and whenever I remove notifications permissions to the pebble app, it somehow gets them back by itself and I have that annoyed “connecting” notification opened all the time 🤡

Recently switched from Samsung keyboard to Gboard, and at least Gboard isn’t feeling as sluggish as Samsung… Also the emoji keyboard got a search bar

Went back to speedcubing, seeing that new 3.13s 3x3 WR amazed me

Wait, I also have a vpn and a little raspberry pi already running at my house… I’m literally one install away from self hosting, I might give it a shot too! 😝

To be fair, I don’t know much about it, but here’s the install guide

From what I remember, I don’t think you need a business license to do so, but you have to go through all the usual hoops to kake something available over the internet.

You can always self host your bitwarden instance if you want.

For me, bitwarden is a good middle ground, it’s super easy to setup, works super well on desktop and android, and it’s still way better than using the same 8 character password everywhere. I think it’s easier to recommend as a starter to anyone that’s not using a password manager.

Might be cool to actually have a pattern copy pasting for those 10 main use cases, I feel like using a LLM just to repeat some boilerplate is such a waste.

One case where the LLM is really useful is when generating some basic comments, but to be fair 50% of the time my comments explain why I’m doing something, and Copilot isn’t smart enough to understand that.
