really throw her off her game. start sitting down to pee.

something done by many services, sites, and games.

but yea, i get it. the problem of asking someone to login to a service that they (bw) are holding your key for, in order for you to get into where that key is held.

about 10 years or so here, too. but it’s about empty. gonna need more with my recent track record vs knives in the kitchen (went a month slicing a different finger on one hand each week) and a couple bad scrapes so far this winter from falls outside.

i was half-expecting a rant about PoE2 for some reason…

slavery is back on the menu, folks.

(yea, i know. it never did go away entirely)

to cause fear and panic. because diaper and his comrades are terrorists.

like how they’ve been so open and supportive wrt handing over covid origin data?

data that WHO is *still waiting for?

i wouldn’t give him that much credit. strings are being pulled, blabbering lies get sharted out.

he hasn’t ‘bowed down’. he had lunch. he fished for support for his own charitable interests. then he got lost in diaperking’s phony ‘charm’ and didn’t say anything ‘bad’ afterwords.

he wouldn’t be able to, anyway.

the deadline is the sunday the 19th. monday the 20th is mlk day (federal holiday, courthouses closed. ag couldn’t file proceedings to enforce the legislation) and the last morning of the biden administration. diaperking is then in charge. even though it was his idea to begin with, he’s flopped on the issue.

afaik the legislation doesn’t include active blocking of a qualifying service’s (which includes tiktok by name, but is not limited to only it or bytedance) traffic…

it only prohibits the distribution of their ‘apps’ (such as via google/apple ‘stores’)–this is the part that does most the heavy lifting, and hosting of their services within the u.s.

if the goal is simply to ‘de-google’, then mxroute itself is enough. 3rd party. decent policies. good track record. reasonable price (especially their promos).

their original registered mark was strictly, and very specifically, for “Downloadable computer application software for mobile phones, smart devices, and computers, namely, software for the management of E-commerce shopping carts”. they have a brand new (jan 15, 2025) application that adds your functionality to it. meaning, when you released your app, you weren’t violating their mark… you still aren’t because their new application hasn’t even assigned to an examiner yet, and your use in that market predates their application.

they might just be fishing for an easy settlement or your domain name(s).

ianal and you could use one. so, consult an attorney that handles ip and trademarks, let them respond (don’t communicate with the other party yourself). actions might include a real threat of a counter-claim, challenging their new trademark application, or just tellin’ em to pound sand…

so, you want something like spamhero standard (in/out relay and spam filtering for one domain)?

(i don’t use them, just the first one i found. i had used similar years ago, but just have email hosted at two of our providers now instead).

a simple renewal won’t mess up their driving records check. it’s not even worth a mention to the new employer or anything. just do it and get it done before its expiry.

on my main ‘working’ pc, i just have two firefox. one regular release channel, locked down pretty tight–scripts don’t even run unless allowed, used for the bulk of the internets; and then a developer edition with a different config and different selection of addons that i use for the trusted and internal sites and ‘my’ stuff.

dev.ed is made to co-exist with ‘regular’ firefox; can even run both at the same time without any hoop jumping as dev.ed profiles are separate.

a straight, ordinary image display in a page or tab will save to the cache, and if you then save it to disk yourself from there, firefox will utilise the cache. i see this behaviour every day on pc.

some addons will interfere with this. and cache settings, of course, do as well. there’s also some ways to construct a web page that makes it harder to save an image, or doesn’t save the image to the client’s cache at all–requiring another hit to and download from the origin to do the requested ‘save’

it’s rentals and sales.

this type of film may not be your thing, but there’s a substantial audience for it. huge market.

they watch on repeat, and buy all the merchandise.

thanks for the ptsd flashback… and right after insurance denied my meds as ‘unnecessary’.

it can do it!

… just not today

got a ripping and converting pc that ain’t any better. it’s all it does, so speed don’t matter any. hb has queue, so nbd. i just let it go… and go… and go…
