Stars and Stripes out for Harambe.

Right, that's the privacy aspect I mentioned. PII tied to your IP is now available, even if it's just a pseudoidentity. But hosting anything also likely throws that out the window in the same way. Unless you have more users on your hosted service, but even then it narrows things down.

A trip to shodan should be enough to convince you that ipv4 space is small enough that it really doesn't buy you much to hide anything. Maybe a tiny bit of extra privacy by not associating an identity to an IP, but even that is pretty quickly blown away if you host anything identifiable. Which is the small web we'd benefit from restoring anyway.

Yep, edited my comment shortly after posting because I'm too cool to proofread until after I post. 😎

But yeah, this is definitely a value I'm hoping can die with a generation. But also not holding my breath.

What an absolute turd of a statement. Says a lot about a person and any organization they might lead.

Meanwhile it's the same type of person campaigning for defunding of public libraries and schools.

The real Half Life 3 is the friends and software we made along the way.

Don't screw around with stock options on Robinhood. Also ideally don't triple your first purchase overnight because then you've fooled yourself into thinking it wasn't a fluke even when you know it was a fluke.

I don't get out and about at all and I have a 3090 in my PC but I still use my deck a ton. It's amazing for getting some games in between housework or kinda just whenever. To each their own, but I've heard the same story many times from different deck users.

It's not a crypto pyramid scheme, it's a crypto reverse funnel!!1!

That doesn't sound like something a gigacunt would do.

Using the sensor behind the screen turns on a surprisingly bright circle of the screen behind your finger, even with the rest of the screen dimmed (say, because you're in bed with the lights out) it's the same brightness, probably just 100%. Presumably it helps the sensor work better. Move your finger a bit too much and that brightness hits your eyes. Which can be uncomfortable at the surprising level of brightness.
