Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don’t work with Linux.
I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.
I mean it, just like it is defined.

I have been shamed for not providing my pronouns in Slack. I think it’s not important for me to do because it’s easy to tell my pronouns by our language. If it was ambiguous in any way, I would feel comfortable providing them.
I do not shame or care if others use them regardless of their reason (support, clarity, etc) up until that reason is to passively or actively shame others.
I don’t fuss about it, and I totally get that it can be helpful in ambiguous situations. I see it used a lot in virtue signaling, and that annoys me a lot.
I can see the solidarity angle, but I guess I’m old school and feel like the best acceptance of others is just to live and let live.
I think the “everyone anyone your pronouns” thing in email, slack, whatever is dumb. But if I lived in SD, I’d start doing it right about now.
Pay to play was the problem there. I had the highest ranking joke page on webcrawler for a stint, but Yahoo wanted $500 to put me on top. My 15 year old self was not interested.
There are many ways around this, like using intermediary services like PayPal or a privacy.com credit card with ephemeral numbers.
Crypto, while one way, is not the only way.
I used it before and still use it. No issues with my $5 linode.
It depends on the state I’ve recently learned. Some states allow inheriting debt, others don’t. Even some are in between allowing it for spouses only.
XMPP was very popular. Google joined it, and with it, the power to give it’s users on Gmail access to all the other chat products that all had more chat users by sharing the same XMPP space. Users were very happy to use the superior Gmail product and also let go of their old chat tools because they could still talk to everyone just fine!
Google waited until they had most of the users and simply started making non compatible changes to their chat until they finally defederated themselves and suddenly their users could no longer chat with anyone who wasn’t also on Google.
People noticed, but most of the users were no longer willing to drop their now-familiar gchat client because they were now used to it. Users like me who wanted to use Pidgin still were suddenly unable to chat with 80% of their friends unless they gave in and opened up gchat too.
If Google never federated with the system, we might still likely have aim, msn, etc still around focusing on their chat users. But Google did their thing, stole the market and we’re where we’re at now. Ironically, most people I know now disable Google chat because Google has tried really hard to ruin something that was just fine. But no one is installing Pidgin again and have mostly moved to Discord and Slack (at least in my circles).

It’s not a cut and dry yes or no for me.
Why wouldn’t they?
I just had my screen replaced because the L in LCD started oozing all over. It was $2200 which didn’t include the radio that cost an extra $500. So, not 10k, but not cheap either. On the plus side, outside of New tires, that’s the only thing I’ve done to the car in 8 years.
Using your link and a quick search about filial laws: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dallasnews.com/sponsored/2022/08/28/the-parent-trap-filial-responsibility-laws-cause-financial-havoc-for-children/%3FoutputType=amp
“Most of the 30 states that have filial laws do not enforce them”
I guess I was lucky that my father and I did not live in one of those states. But, 100% agreed that it’s beyond up that it CAN be a thing in some states. Seriously, wtf.
Neither, just passing on my experience. I didn’t have any lawyers involved and it was pretty much telling them to fuck off and not paying the bills that came in his name.
Debt to an individual dies with that individual unless the other person cosigned or if the debt was tied to collateral. They can sue the estate, but it’s a slog to do that and basically no one will. Debt collectors will, however, claim that all of this will happen and threaten away to the point where people either get scared or tired of the harassment and give up and “make payments”. IANAL, but I went through this with my Dad when he passed. We were able to have his estate (a 5 figure sum) pass down to me without the medical debt collectors getting any of it.
You can only threaten to cancel if there’s an alternative. I tried this and they were like: okay man, just be forewarned that there’s a connection fee when you come back.
They were right, it was more $ to follow through with my threat and they knew it.
I don’t think so in this context. This is probably more like SSL cert trusting or some private/public key pair.
I’m saying that the writers comparing what they deserve to a whole company’s revenue isn’t applicable. Comparing Disney plus revenue is applicable, but they didn’t do that. Likewise with others like Apple, Amazon (seriously???), Sony , etc (minus pure streaming companies like Netflix)
I’m sure they’re not biased at all /s
There are some reasons. Networking can get messed up, so Docker Desktop “fixed that” for you, but the dirty secret is it’s basically a Linux VM with Docker CE and some convenience network routes.
