Showing my age here, but the first time I remember using the web was in the mid-90s when there were only a girl’s of hundred web sites. Almost all of them were universities. But I remember going to playboy.com as a joke and being amazed that there’s was actually a website for it. There was also a pizzahut.com website that pointed to a specific restaurant in San Jose CA.
Awesome, thanks for the tips!
I started down the Jellyfin path after they made that announcement. It’s super easy to install, and in many ways the UI is nicer than Plex. But I ran into challenges getting my server safely accessible for users outside my LAN. And I haven’t had the time to look into that further.
Would be great if there was a clean, easy way to set up the webserver portion so it’s as easy to share content entirely as Plex. But I get they are a volunteer project with a lot on their plate.
Good news good Signal.
No, not really. Not for my own pleasure anyway. When I’m not working, helping my wife out keeping the house tidy and raising our kids, doing misc planning for the family, budgeting, and trying to just relax, I’m too tired to play games.
The only games I play are games with my kids, and even though it creates some fond memories, it kind of kills my enthusiasm for gaming in general. It’s sort of like when your job is your hobby, usually the shine of that hobby wears off and it largely becomes a grind.
Oh TACO Belle? Yeah, she’s a prime candidate of cluelessness too. But there are so many trump hires who fit this bill, and only so many characters allowed in a Lemmy comment field.
The same administration who…
(…the list goes on and on and on…)
Is making claims about a foreign news organization and what they published on their website… Yeah, I think I’ll believe the BBC on this one.
Is this the origin story for the super-villain Koch family?
Accelerando is such a weird but excellent novel.
Surprised nobody here has mentioned Mr Rogers Neighborhood yet.
TIL Ghostery had their own browser.
“I’m gonna J-walk all over the place, and there’s nothing you fuckers can do about it! ANARCHY!!”
“ARCADE INSIDE! ARCADE! ARCADE! ARCADE! ARCADE INSIDE!”
I feel like they are trying to tell me something. I wonder what it is.
Innovis is a weird one. It’s much less well known to many people than the ‘big three’. But regardless, it’s used by some pretty big companies, and its origin stems from the likes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And some of their services/interface are comically outdated, which to me makes it potentially prone to abuse. And that alone warrants giving it some attention.
Your debit score is important because that’s what most financial institutions check against when you set up an account with them. They typically don’t use credit scores for account eligibility. So debit scores (which are almost exclusively controlled by FIS) can be susceptible to abuse from that angle and in that industry.
ETA: Yes, the response time for the credit bureaus is pretty fast. I recommend setting up a free account with each of Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. They will try to trick you into the paid account during the account creation process, so watch where you click. But their free accounts are decent and get the job done. Plus they make it easier to freeze/unfreeze your credit score than using no account. Innovis’ process is easy too, and fairly quick, but it’s very old-school.
Yeah, it’s a bit annoying. But I think it’s worth it.
For anyone else who is interested, the four credit bureaus in the US are: Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and Innovis.
You might also be able to freeze you debit score with FIS.
Edit: For credit scores I might be thinking of locking not freezing as being the free option.
And the pandemic. The effects of the pandemic did a massive number on so many younger kids behaviorally.
So yeah, there are numerous reasons for the upswing in social and behavioral issues in kids over the last several years.
Pretty good advice. Although they are probably recommending that for more than just it being a Meta data farming scam.
