They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

Thoughts and prayers, I guess?

I was going to say goodbye to Facebook over a decade ago, but it proved a convenient way to stay in touch with family overseas when my father became terminally ill around that time, so I stuck around. For many years I have been using the FBPurity, Facebook Container and uBlock Origin plugins with Librewolf, and I never see ads. If you stay there for any reason, I would recommend those.

Here you can find some accounts of several real eyewitnesses: https://atomicarchive.com/reso...

I personally don't like it to be at the bottom, but Firefox, and perhaps other browsers as well, has had this option on Android for as long as I can remember.

You have to excuse them, as I do not believe they realize Waymo taxis have no driver, so there is nobody to run over and/or shoot anybody.

From the Cambridge dictionary:
=====
overrun
verb [ T ]
us /ovrrn/
present participle overrunning | past tense overran us/ovrræn/ | past participle overrun

to spread over an area quickly and in large numbers
=====
Nothing more, nothing less.

I've visited Austin several times over the past two, three years and it was merely an observation. It are not causing problems other than that they seem to have their own interpretation of what constitutes a safe place to stop in order to drop off or pick up rides, but beyond that it are very much not triggering me.

Austin is already overrun with Waymo taxis. Adding Teslas in the mix sounds like it's going to be fun.

Lennart will fix it by pulling it into the Windows systemd equivalent.

I have had four employers in the past decade or so, and every single one of them had LinkedIn involvement in landing the job. But none of those jobs required me sending recruiters money and I'm seriously wondering why anyone would. It sounds exactly like "if you send me the transaction fee of $XX then I will send you $XXX Million". I thought people knew better by now, but apparently not?

Studies have found that people who pirate content would never buy it in the first place, so the losses that corporations complain about simply do not exist.

I don't know who to feel more sorry for.

Paypal was invented to enrich its inventors only. They are a bank that's desperately trying to avoid being regulated as one, which keeps them operating in a financial grey area of legality. There are many documented cases of when Paypal assumed ownership of funds it had no rights to, and you have little to no recourse if they decide to keep your money.

You should *NEVER*, *EVER* tie it to a bank account and be very careful when tying it to a credit card.

Use at your own peril.

I use Capital One's Eno browser plugin that provides me with virtual numbers that can only be used with one merchant. Capital One is also pretty good at proactively blocking transactions that it deems fraudulent, which at one time prevented me from "spending" several hundreds of dollars at a Brussels airport car rental place while I was sitting on my couch 6,000 miles away.

I only save Eno's virtual numbers with utilities for which I use auto-pay. For any website that requires me to store a credit card number to buy their products, I will go back and remove it once the transaction has completed. However, if somebody would get a hold of any such number, they could not use it at any other place since it's tied to that utility (or merchant). The only thing they could do is pay my gas or electricity bill with my own credit card. /shrug

These one-merchant numbers saved me when a less than scrupulous database administrator (I assume) tried to use a number I had used (but not stored) many months earlier for their company to pay for their godaddy bills. That transaction did not go through and I immediately got a warning email. I notified the merchant's support but never heard back from them. Thus far this has happened only once.

The above means that bad actors can still get the number, even when it's not stored, so not storing numbers is only marginally safer. Any number that has been used for any online transaction is in some database somewhere. Virtual numbers that can only be used once, or at only one merchant seem to be more secure, but it's always good to check statements.

*Note: This may read as an advertorial for Capital One, but it is not. I have no special feelings for or against them, but I do happen to like their Eno plugin and they seem to be good at fraud prevention. YMMV

I watched it on opening night. Before I started, IMDB had it at 6.4, after watching it, it was at 6.1. The day after it was down to 6.0 and I expect it to go down further still. I wouldn't call it a steaming pile of shit, that is reserved for Revolutions, but it wasn't good. As far as I'm concerned NPH saved it from total disaster with his portrayal of The Analyst.

It looks like this franchise is about to be pulling a Star Wars: One incredibly good movie followed by many questionable to godawful sequels. I managed to watch Reloaded, which had its moments but, just like the first SW sequels, detracted from the original. I was never able to finish Revolutions, it was just awful.
