Don't do this unless your job is literally to be an "influencer" or you are financially independent. "Build your own personal brand" is really bad advice if you don't want to have to be self employed. Nobody is going to hire someone with a public blog of opinions to a properly senior position.

You can disable "Acceptable ads" in Edge mobile.

Sadly they copied the Quote Tweet function for Threads, when Mastodon mercifully didn't.

They pre install Adblock Plus on Edge mobile. So almost there.

Someone probably wants your account removed to release your username.

Whats the consensus over on Mastadon at the moment? Will the major Mastodon instances block federation with Threads purely out of spite I wonder.

How did Evernote rise to become the number one "Shadow IT" app in 2022 and 2023? Has it had a renaissance?

The problem with moonlighting a meaningful side project is that any marketing you do will alert HR to the fact you are moonlighting (HR in large corps pay to have employees' social media scanned).

In most cases you'll either be told to stop or in the worst case your employer will claim they own it.

If you want a phone that's actually small (Zenfone 9/10 is the size of an iPhone 14), the Jelly Star is still on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jellyphone/jelly-star-t...

  - 3 inch screen
  - Headphone jack
  - SD card slot
  - Dual SIM
  - 256GB storage / 8GB RAM as standard
  - 48MP camera

There are easy ways to make the rockstars "dedicated for life". It's just seen as expensive.

If your default stance in 2023 is that you should start with stored procedures, you are doing something very wrong and you are a risk to the survival of your business.

Azure does this too, not just GCP. If you want to be all in MS stack sending emails you have to wire up your own Office 365 account.

Discord officially does not allow 3rd party clients. In theory your account can be banned for using them.

Charge extra to fix AI created software.

More work for consultants and clean up crews.

This is also why in-country remote work is so dangerous to property owners. The one thing that could allow equitable access to housing cannot be allowed to happen.

Discord are up to something with their new global unique @ username system. I expect totally public forums like Reddit soon.

For anybody that wants to remove Cloud Synced Data in Edge, visit edge://sync-internals/ and click "Disable Sync (Clear Server Data)". Some PM has hidden the option but the function is still there (for now).

People are beginning to realise that any comms in public (even on this hallowed forum) will be used against you if not now but in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 years time, and likely has already been used to train an LLM. Even Twitter actually deletes all your tweets when your account deletion is actioned, Reddit just replaces your name with [user deleted], hence the need for tools like this.

Discord is on the rise with Gen Z as a result. As long as they don't blow it with whatever pivot they are trying to accomplish with the username changes, semi private walled gardens will be the future of the internet.

Why doesn't Reddit just disable the ability to "go dark"?

That's even worse that it works under the Community terms, as if one of your employees installs it you can be liable for license costs if you have 6+ employees or make 1mm. MS license auditors will be having a field day.

This is a commercial extension: "Given C# Dev Kit builds on the same foundations as Visual Studio for some of its functionality, it uses the same license model as Visual Studio."

You have to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the new C# Dev Kit extension in VS Code.

This is a selling point of Discord. The ability to have a conversation without "researchers" being able to search for it for decades.

It used to be a potential route to Microsoft MVP too I believe.

From the study: "Most devices (Fatigue Science Readiband, Fitbit Alta HR, EarlySense Live, ResMed S+, SleepScore Max) performed as well as or better than actigraphy on sleep/wake performance measures".

Great news.

Sounds cool. Especially if it fits nicely in a bag and can be worn in a hotel room as 2x 4K external monitors when plugged into a Macbook Pro USB-C port. Will probably buy one.

No need for that, just a D notice on Cloudflare and half the internet is decrypted.

What do you mean by casino here?

Repeatedly submitting the same domain from the same account gets a penalty. How did they work around that? Sock puppet accounts and voting rings?

Until someone actually sells an 8 inch OLED tablet, these are the only options on the market today for a small tablet with a good screen.
