“You fell for a phishing scam and hadn’t enabled two-factor authentication” is more likely, followed closely by “You used the same password for another service/platform that got compromised”.
Microsoft are being unhelpful here and deserve to be criticised, but the fault for the “hack” is almost certainly the responsibility of the user.
I’d love to know if my enormous blocklist of instances and communities is unusual or if most people end up curating their global feeds massively to keep them interesting. Anime, porn, US-specific politics, authoritarian-friendly politics, furries, wojak-style barrel-scraping memes - I don’t want to downvote most of these just because they’re not my bag, but I suspect I end up with a tiny fraction of the total Lemmy+Piefed content.
Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).
Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.
If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.
I like my iPhone. It’s solid hardware and reasonably capable software. It does everything I need it to do, and gives me really solid control over API access to privacy-centric controls like location and microphone.
I still wouldn’t skip a beat to switch to another phone manufactured by another company (though I regret how much of a duopoly there is). The inconvenience is minor; Apple just needs to give me a shove and I’ll switch.
Firefox is fundamentally fine; a lot of the recent-ish news about it has been sensationalist (and it wouldn’t be surprising to find that Google or Brave LLC were seeding it, honestly, though I’m totally speculating).
The AI stuff is just them exposing the DOM to an LLM of your choice, if you want to, to stay competitive with the other browsers. If the telemetry is an issue for you even when you’ve changed your settings, use a fork like LibreWolf.
It looks from the head of the post like there was once a top pole.
Probably got damaged from someone sitting on it or climbing over. Or someone interpreting the “dispose of trash” sign too enthusiastically.

Ok, now we’re cooking with gas! They cite The Sharks of North America (Castro, 2011) which says:
The name “nurse” comes from “nusse,” meaning fish, which appears in print as early as 1440 in the Promptorium Parvulorum, an early English/Latin dictionary. […] “Nuses were there so plentie, that they would scarcely suffer any other fish to come neere the hookes” (Hakluyt 1589).
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “nusse” is derived from the earlier “huss,” the ancient name for the catsharks
The Promptorium Parvulorum has an entry for husk:
Husk of fyshe: Squamus, -i; Masc.,
with a note against that entry:
‘Huske, fyshe,’ Harl, some kind of fish.
- ‘Hush, the Lump, a fish,’ JAMIESON.
- ‘Husse, a fysshe : rousette,’ PALSGRAVE.
- ‘Huss, the dogfish,’ HALLIWELL.
So we have to trust the OED about the transformation from huss to nuss. I guess it could be the classic misdivision/rebracketing (“an huss” becoming “a nuss”) that gives us “nickname” and “newt”.
Did you find any convincing linguistic or etymological source for nusse? I can find a lot of near-verbatim articles repeating it, including the NatGeo article you’ve linked, but nothing independent and scholarly about the word.
This is fanciful. Regardless of the capacity of a butt of wine or beer, the word “buttload” has only been used since the latter half of the last century.
What do you do if it comes up positive? Presumably if you know it’s a risk, you’d leave your phone in airplane mode or at home, and if you know it’s happening you’ve already been recorded?

Tell the iPhone that the output isn’t headphones and it’ll stop warning you. Plug it in, then head to Settings -> Sound and Haptics -> Headphone Safety -> USB Audio Accessories.
they want the ability it provides to die.
Terminal Server licensing will be bringing them in a tidy amount of money from on-prem enterprises, but it’s true that Windows App has a heavy focus on Azure and will definitely be aiming to push people in that direction - it can’t even connect to remote Windows PCs.
!showerthoughts@lemmy.world would also be appropriate, though the mods might disagree.

I eyeballed an edit, because the horizon line and lack of squareness bothered me:
