Isn’t this just more of what caused the problem in the first place? Namely, centralisation. If you store data locally and you lose a machine, that’s bad but not the end of the world. If you store it centrally and you lose the data, that’s catastrophic. Nassim Taleb nailed this stuff. Keep the downside limited, and the upside unlimited or as he says, “Don’t pick up pennies in front of a steamroller.”
Firefighter here. Brush and gently vacuum your smoke detector. Insects are attracted to the LED and can set off the alarm. They may be very small. Dust can also set it off.
It’s even better than that. It’s a computer’s version of a story describing how a computer wrote a story which was then front-paged by a computer.
Came here to say this.
I read somewhere that this can mean they think you might steal stuff.
This. Has changed my life.
Clickbait title. The graph looks pretty balanced actually.
There doesn’t seem to be any monolithic music culture at all anymore. Everyone has super customized spotify playlists.
I’ve noticed this too. In some ways it makes it harder to find new music.

Found the dev.
Happy to help out.
I downloaded it to try out the AI in Bing Search, but now I only use it for Teams or other Microsoft cloud apps.
Same as for Chrome. It only gets used for Google Apps.
I gave up on the Teams app and went with using it in Edge.
Finger limes. Tastes like lime sorbet but with the texture of roe.
I’m not anti-Fediverse here, but tbf it would be ridiculously easy for data harvesting companies to plug into the API and fingerprint individual users from their activity. Admittedly, I don’t see how browser based fingerprinting could be done without hosting an instance.
To be fair, that’s true of most social media, including Reddit.
Firefox with containers for day to day use. Chrome for google docs. Safari for sites where I don’t want to have to go through the login process every time I open a page.
I bought a Synology NAS with 4 bays and set up Raid 6. This provides 2 drive failure protection. All files on my computer are automatically sync’d to the NAS via Synology’s self hosted cloud drive service. This provides the additional benefit of version history of files. The NAS is backed up to a single large drive on a regular basis. That drive is stored off site.
I got burned by WD’s secret SMR drives in my home NAS and they sucked! They were marketed as NAS drives, but the performance was abominable, the failed sector count grew steadily from day 1 and it felt like they failed 1 early. Once the whole sordid fiasco came to light I switched to Seagate CMR drives and everything has been mostly OK since then.
Sounds like another reason not to use Chrome.
