100% this.

I was a volunteer treasurer at a youth homeless shelter.

Sadly, it’s not possible to evaluate someone’s intentions when they knock on your door and ask for a sandwich. They might truly just want a sandwich, or they might have other intentions entirely.

In my experience the AI assistant is just trained on the information available on the firm’s website.

In 2024 I never just call a company expecting to be able to be assisted by a person. It’s always quicker and easier to figure out how to interact with said company online. The only times you call are when it’s not possible to resolve your query by interacting with them online.

That being the case, the entire purpose of the AI in this case is just to make it less convenient to call them. “Have you tried to resolve your issue online? Are you really sure about that? Maybe I could paraphrase this blog post from our website written by an intern 12 years ago.”

I think a better question is how matrix is better than XMPP. I don’t know much about it but I think the answer is “it isnt”.

Thunderbird is fine.

Maybe I have too much grey in my beard - I don’t care how modern it looks.

If you can’t export / save / transfer codes then you need to regenerate all your 2fa codes every time you switch to a new device.

2FA doesn’t need to be infallible, it just needs to be a second factor.

refuse.

That’s just not practically possible.

OP said they’re running a small business. It’s great that they want to fly the flag for FOSS, but they’re not in the business of promoting and advocating for FOSS. They still need to do the things they need to do.

Refusing to file your taxes on the grounds that the software provided is not open source is a great way to no longer be in business.

Even if that were true, and it seems unlikely, that’s still an order of magnitude more than the ladybug devs.

It might seem that way but it’s a fairly arrogant assertion. They’re a sophisticated organisation with a lot of well experienced people guiding them. As an outsider it’s easy to criticise their seemingly endless series of bad decisions, but I’m still confident that internally all of these decisions seemed like a good idea at the time.

Besides which, this would be a good reason to fork their codebase rather than starting from scratch.

Nice. These look great.

Do you know if it will turn off entirely if the temp is low enough? Or they just idle away at 300rpm or so.

I’m sure it was just one flea.

Oh my sweet summer child.

Seems a little idealistic.

If ladybird actually achieves any sort of userbase they would take the same deal in an instant.

a Herculean undertaking with too few engineers and too many standards

Yeah, as a layperson this is my take. If mozilla is struggling to stay in the game then I just don’t really see how an unfinanced indie team has a shot.

WDYM “independent” ?

Isn’t mozilla / gecko more or less independent?

oh man. This is perfect. Thankyou.

I was actually looking at these on amazon but I mistakenly thought that the term “temperature controlled” included in the product name was just SEO bullshit, referring to the mobo controlling the temperature.

I see now that these ones do it themselves.

This is the way.

perfect!

acinfinity is probably overkill for me but honestly very tempting.

I did see that thermostat pwm board on amazon. When you say a “standard 12v power adapter” do you mean as in… like a transformer plug with 12v output and the right amperage?

I’m open to whatever solutions might be available, and these guys look like they make awesome fans, but I think I need something much less awesome and more integrated.

Basically, I just need a 120mm PC fan, supply it with the right voltage, and thermostat.

This is about as witty as a box of rocks, just like it was when it was invented in 2007.

This isn’t a hill I care enough to die on.

I’ve never bought a series in any format. It’s always been piracy and for at least the last 5 years catch and release.

What I mean is, I don’t want to keep series in any case.

That said, now I think about it, if I didn’t pirate everything then keeping copies of what I’d paid for world feel important

You thought blu ray sales would just continue forever?
