Most content (excluding their own) is not available in all regions due to licensing issues.

Actually, even including their own for some dumb reason. For instance, Paramount holds the rights to Star Trek, but there's no way for me to stream some of the shows legally, because Paramount+ isn't available where I live.

Which to me makes no sense. It's just a freaking website, globally accessible, hosting content they own...

I have a Google Alert set up, so I get notified in case my name pops up on the web. A month after I joined a new company, I got an alert - turned out that their internal directory page was exposed to the public web. I was pretty livid - all this time I was proud of maintaining good anonymity, looking up my name never returned anything meaningful on Google. So I complained to my boss about this, and he said it was actually a bug/misconfiguration - which they were already aware of, but didn't bother fixing it because no one complained. I was super pissed and made it very clear that it was a violation of my privacy and I wanted it taken down ASAP. Thankfully my boss was understanding and got it fixed. Then I had to report the page to Google. It took a while, but it was finally gone from the search results.

Then it'll probably shock you even more when you realise that this thing is hosted on Github, a site owned by Microsoft... :)

... for now. They've already replaced the old Notepad with a bloated UWP version, so it probably won't be long before it starts sending telemetry as well.

Sync works fine here. Have you tried running the latest version? There was an update today with a lot of bug fixes.

FTFY

Microsoft now has implemented "compare with Microsoft Bing Chat™, an AI search engine powered by OpenAI GPT-4™" button when you visit Alphabet's Google Bard™ in Microsoft Edge™©®

 

I asked Google Bard whether it thought Web Environment Integrity was a good or bad idea. Surprisingly, not only did it respond that it was a bad idea, it even went on to urge Google to drop the proposal.

Wow, Cult of the Dead Cow, what a blast from the past. Takes me back to my childhood, playing with Back Orifice and NetBus on our school PCs and trolling my classmates. Good times.

I left Reddit because Spez is an asshole and he killed third-party API access (which, btw, impacted more than just clients - many useful bots/scripts died too as a result of this change).

For many of us, Sync was Reddit, and killing Sync basically killed Reddit for us, but now that Sync is back (for Lemmy), many of us are more than happy to pay a subscription to support the dev, instead of supporting Reddit. ljdawson is an awesome developer who actually listens to his users and updates his apps regularly. If you don't want to support him and/or use a different app, that's your call of course, but for fans of Sync, it's like coming back home after a long time and getting that feeling of "there's no place like home".

I will always opt to run dedicated APs

Any recommendations for a dedicated Wi-Fi 6+ AP that supports open firmware?

Got any examples? I don't recall any actually quality and worthwhile channels that still use those dumb thumbnails.
