The tolerance going up really fast is the worst part for me. I’ve found a little bit more success by taking lower doses on weekends and my normal dose on nights when I actually need to sleep at a reasonable hour.

Too real.

RLS sucks, gabapentin seems to help in larger doses but I still get the urge to punch my thighs off and do cardio at 3am.

It is true that some podcasts make money via other means, for sure. I didn’t intend to say all podcasts, but many (most?) do have ads as the only way they make money. However, do you not want a Sponsorblock for others so you can have your cake and eat it too, just like you do now with adblockers? That’s how you really give them the middle finger.

That’s just not true. There will always be ads in podcasts, no matter if I listen to them or not; it’s how they make money. That’s not apathetic, it’s a fact. If someone made a sponsorblock for podcasts, it would help immensely, which is what my original comment was about. Blaming one single person for there being ads in podcasts is something else.

Unfortunately, the masses will still listen, so myself not listening will do jack-shit. The real way to do that would be a service or app that strips them out entirely.

If you have some magical podcast app that can do that I would love to know what it’s called.

The best part of this is how Zendesk’s blog post claims that Zendesk discovered the issue, and then blamed the 15 year old for not following ethical principles.

Define “military grade”, because that usually means that it’s actually the lowest grade.

Using the D-Wave Advantage, they successfully attacked the Present, Gift-64 and Rectangle algorithms – all representative of the SPN (Substitution-Permutation Network) structure, which forms part of the foundation for advanced encryption standard (AES)

Ah, so they didn’t actually get close to cracking AES, they just want to scare people into thinking that they did. I’m not exactly sure what the headline means by “hack” here.

Oh, thank god. 🤦 I guess the post itself still stands as terrible though

Lmao, Zendesk made their own post (edit: a troll account linked it acting as them, but the actual Zendesk post is still something else) saying the person who disclosed this violated ethical principles while also saying they (zendesk) discovered this issue.

Pets are a lot for sure, and you shouldn’t have them if you don’t have the capacity or bandwidth to care for them. That being said, my pets have drastically helped my mental health. I can’t imagine what going through the quarantine would have been like without them.

First off, fuck UMG.

Secondly:

To mitigate the potential risks for those affected, UMG is offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection through Experian’s IdentityWorks for 24 months.

I hate that companies can just give people that and get away with data breaches. They have cyber insurance - make them pay up, full stop.

I haven’t used PayPal in ages, I only use Privacy cards.

It’s giving Schitt’s Creek

My troops are just passing through.

The weather is what made me want to move up here in the first place. Yeah, it gets dark for half the year, but I love the rain and fog, and how it usually doesn’t get to be a million degrees or icy. Plus we have some of the best coffee I’ve ever had.

They have a doorbell: https://reolink.com/__/product/reolink-video-doorbell/

It doesn’t really get smaller than that.

Quite the supply chain attack.

Someone has serious issues with being wrong. You were the first one to change the subject to say wifi required passwords.
