What would you recommend?

Yes, And more widespread

My opinion: it's good. I would use it on a daily basis if someone would ask me to text on it with her. But I'd never ask someone else to use it because there are, in my opinion, better options like matrix and signal which I mandate people to use.

Who are the donors? Signal costs a lot of money to operate. Who gave it the funds to operate?

If you don't know that, maybe you should start researching before writing a blog post. I'm not doing that part for you because you were to lazy/dumb.

  1. Company buys 1000 clicks
  2. Adnauseam user click on 100 of them
  3. Company only bought 900 real clicks
  4. If 1% of the people who click, buy, then they only get 9 buyers instead of 10
  5. Company observes that 0.9% of people who click, actually buy
  6. A click isn't as valuably as before.
  7. To generate 10 clicks, the company has to buy 1100 clicks in order to get the 10 paying customers in order to finance the ads
  8. More ads lead ro more people using adblocker, the more adblock users, the more adnauseam users. The more adnauseam users, the less valuable the ads.
  9. adnauseam usera click more often and faster on ads. If there is a critical mass of adnauseam users, the ads become even more worthless as real people do not get the chance of clicking on it, skewing the curve even further.
  10. As ads become useless because people don't buy after a click, companies stop paying for ads in that space.
  11. Only companies that can differentiate between real users and adnauseam bots like within proprietary apps like tiktok and instagram can generate money.
  12. Is it really that useful?

Good find!

The communication could be better than just that for something that goes offline completely 😅

qwant maps down (lemmy.world)

For weeks, I can't reach qwant maps anymore. Is it down for you guys as well? Does anyone know anything? There isn't even a mention on their main pages of it anymore. They just purged everything without further notice. Is that the same experience for you? I'm accessing with a VPN from within france.

People started saying apps to programs on computer as well. No idea who's fault it is. Apple's? Only old people call it software or so.

Thx for the correction

[–] swooosh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Good to know, thx

Proton has one

[–] swooosh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Wow, that would be next level!

if you use docker, docker ignores ufw rules

 

I don't have yet any preferences. Cheap, easy to set up, secure. What do you use and can recommend?

 

The use case is following:

I'd like to turn off my server at night. Sometimes I stop at 12, sometimes at 1 or 2. If I could ask "is someone watching?" And it returns false, I could postpone the shutdown.

The current solution is to always turn off at 2 and turn on at 7.

How do you guys handle the situation?

 

If I want to opt out, I can only opt out by disabling all usage telemetry according to the official doc https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-data-mozilla-help-improve-firefox . That means that my usage habits and the usage habit of all people that do not want to share their search terms with firefox, i.e. all somewhat privacy interested people is just thrown into the void. For future browser decisions, this means that the browsing behavior of a whole group is neglected. This makes me sad.

 

I can't find them.

Edit: found it. No idea what the problem was.

 

I stumbled upon noice a couple of weeks ago. It is a beautiful app. It just plays noise, e.g. bird sounds. You can set a timer, e.g. 5 minutes and it'll stop after that. That's perfect for meditation or sleeping. I'm just a random user who likes the app.

Browser can find the domain and resolve the ip properly and load content. The app just says it can't find anything.

How can I debug it?

I assume it's not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is.

Let's say I don't want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience.

Edit: thank you guys!

It feels completely different, yet very similar. I like it. Feels like the most modern app on my phone now.

Edit: I don't like the floating action button search but that's just my opinion. Maybe I just have to get used to it.
