In our testing, the VPN always continued to report as connected, and the kill switch was never engaged to drop our VPN connection.

This is the only place they mention kill switch. I feel like it needs a slight clarification on whether it was enabled and didn’t work, or if was just disabled and therefore not “engaged”.

Just switch to GNU/Hurd

They change it all the time for funsies

Dang good catch on the second user, I wouldn’t have noticed since I usually don’t look at people’s profiles.

It’s kind of funny that reddit will become this chamber of advertisers making posts and fake users “engaging” while the real people all migrate to lemmy.

That sounds nice, I’ll try that out

Dang, the shared grocery list and meal planning was the best part of it.

I also quit whisk when it became samsung food. Does CopyMeThat let you have shared lists with other people?

Made the hot dog hot themself

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure a lot of open source software is volunteer based and unpaid.

There might be cases where orgs will lend developers to work on a project, but with the org’s interests in mind, so if the patch isn’t in their interest, then those devs won’t look at it.

Yea I guess I was thinking something like this

1. I earned $100,000 revenue
2. You give me $20,000 donation
3. I make a $20,000 donation
4. I report on taxes I earned $100,000 and donated $20,000, so my taxable income is $80,000 because I wrote off a donation you gave me.

I would have to include the donation either in my earnings or report it some other way.

Dang, not sure I’ve cooked green bacon, but I’ve cooked grayish bacon and it comes out ok. It kind of makes me feel better to know they donate expiring meat. It’d be better if they donated it a little earlier, like no one’s buying the gray bacon, but it’s still edible.

I understand the write off part. The part I don’t understand is if you give me $100, and then I donate the $100 (so cost of donation becomes $80), do I have to report that your $100 donation to me as income? Or did I just use your money to decrease my tax burden?

I am also jaded enough to believe most “charitable organizations” are not very charitable.

I’d rather donate to something I know like my local volunteer fire department or community association rather than some org that has too much overhead. And I’m not interested in researching if every org asking for donations is reputable.

Great response on why NFTs are lame for what most are being used for.

I play some blockchain games where the NFT represents digital items, and the only real use case for it being on blockchain is having the marketplace to trade in game items for money. And that doesn’t even need to be blockchain, it’s like an overengineered steam marketplace.

You don’t make it sound any better

I wouldn’t say it needs serious work, I kind of like the homebrewed look of it, but there’s a lot of wasted space in the form of padding on mobile. I think the list of posts could just take up the full screen width and it’d be good.

Took a look and the article title is misleading. It says nothing about trust in the technology and only talks about not trusting companies collecting our data. So really nothing new.

Personally I want to use the tech more, but I get nervous that it’s going to bullshit me/tell me the wrong thing and I’ll believe it.

You never do

I sometimes shop the freezer aisle and then lookup recipes for the prepackaged foods.

It has an extra finger
