I've started using Duckduckgo, less specifically for the search and more for the bangs. Fed up of search surfacing sites they care about. I can now quickly search wikipedia with !w etc.
I switched my parents group chat to RCS from whatsapp after pestering them for ages.
Over the span of 2 months we had 4-5 inconsistencies where I would recieve a message from my mum or dad in the group that would be in another language or clearly not be written by them. It wouldn't show up on her phone but my brother and dad would see it.
Here's the proof of the last occassion it happened. They're never going to switch now...
Even if you selfhost, having a cloud provider can still be a good option to maintain 3-2-1 without hosting a second server offsite (at parents or friends etc).
I backup to backblaze b2
It's a jpeg
Then encoded in the metadata is a map of brightness.
If your website/app/phone doesn't support it, the metadata just sits there with info about the lens, shutter speed etc.
If it does support it, the JPEG is automatically processed with the metadata to increase brightness in the original jpeg.
People need to stop "pretending" they can afford all this shit, it's not needed and noone cares, who are people showing off too?
New iphone? Don't need it
Maybe if we stop buying shit these companies will actually try
Yeah it's insane. I bought a 1 year old Hyundai and knocked tons of depreciation off an already cheaper brand.
At my work people be driving around in leased Range Rovers/AMG Mercs. Then they will take the piss out of my car.
Seriously? I now have more disposable income because i'm not wasting it renting a car and also I own my car... It should be me bragging
Subscriptions need to fuck off. I made a stand a few months ago. I will not subscribe to anything at all unless i'm getting INSANE value.
Cancelled streaming, random apps, patreon etc. I now have usenet and backblaze b2 for about £3 a month each. Saving me a fortune 🏴☠️🦜
