This is a favorite.

I’ve watched all Ed’s recent videos of the last couple weeks.
He’s dropped enough hints. I’m certain of this now.
He’s got the OpenAI financials.

There are some good ideas here, exercise and good nutrition among them.
You seem nice. You’re funny most of the time.
Lemmy isn’t a bad habit, but you might get a lot more out of interacting with real people.
You can do it. Get out.

Wine is fine. Liquor’s quicker.

Ed does a huge amount of research creating reverse engineered financials for companies that are doing their best to hide it. As another poster said, he brings the receipts. That’s his main game. Its why you read him in the first place. He backs it up.

What does he have? I’ll bet its inside financial data. I think he got a cache of straight info that lets him correct many of his estimates and prove his worst predictions.

I recently earned the Cisco CCST Cybersecurity cert.
Over and above the CCST Network cert, I learned a few things about configuring firewalls, ACLs, and zones.
But at least a third of the entire cert was this bullshit.
Lingo. Abbreviations. Dumb new ways to not say what you mean.

Trust me. You need Plextastic. Its got all the cool new stuff. Just a small fee.
You will come around.

Please yes. I want this to be a thing.

Gotta refresh em sometimes. When ublock stops managing youtube perfectly, I reload all the filters. Sometimes I don’t even need to close out the browser, just the filters.

Totally off topic, but I drink at a bar called Spaghetti Western!
Hillsboro, OR.

Ya, that’s the really obvious take. That’s teh way you do biz these days.
Like, that’s what’s gonna happen to all those ‘lifetime’ Plex accounts. Sure, you still have access to ‘Plex-classic’. But you don’t get any of the new Plextastic services … unless you want to pay the $1,999 upgrade fee …

So much venom. That’s weird. Because they are all useful to some degree or another.

I use Brave. (The free one. Obviously.)

And I use Vivaldi. And Firefox. And Waterfox.
And even Chrome.

I do a lot of work through browser-based utilities. I like to set one browser up with all my server clusters pinned. This is the Brave/Vivaldi role. It doesn’t go online, just server mangement.
And I’ll set up Chrome with all my work sites. Because that’s the standard, and its gonna run all that work shit reliably. Login to my work google here.
And I want a dirty actual-browser with uBlock, SuperStop, and kill-sticky. Usually Firefox. Might get my personal gmail here.
If I’m on a machine where I need an additional role, or perhaps some extension that I don’t want in my main browser, I install another browser to handle it.
They are tools, folks. Use em. Don’t let them use you. Don’t be a tool.
:]

Christ. I can’t imagine wanting something with the name ‘Google’ attached.
Although, Chromebooks sucked pretty bad. I can see why they want to diverge here.
So … go all in on the evil? If you read the article, they sound fukin horrid.

Thanks. Now I know that bowling balls float.

Pencil me in for three martinis.

Larry is really big and almost clumsy. Keeps his claws in, tries to not hurt anyone. Till Nixie annoys him bad enough, and then its Pro Wrestling time!

I think because I got into NextCloud to “de-google”, I just accepted some maintenance load.
My intent was to manage my documents. The CORE office suite works sufficiently. Now I update my resume (and manage a few other documents) on my own website, no google.
I uploaded a bunch of music. The music apps are kinda crappy, but they also work sufficiently.
I never got around to setting up email for NextCloud. Looks like maybe I never will.
My searxng instance in my homelab died, and I nuked it. I think when I rebuild, its going on this VPC.

I see NextCloud here quite a bit. What I don’t see discussed is the cloud hosting option.
Hetzner has two NextCloud offerings.
They have a storage service backed by NextCloud. I think that’s new. I don’t use that.

They also have have NextCloud available as an installable app from their service.
This is what I use. https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/apps/list/nextcloud/
I had to actually follow the directions to get it running.
And I have to patch it occasionally. Mostly, it takes care of itself.

I use the cheapest 1vcpu VPC.
Yes my NextCloud service is a bit sluggish sometimes. But I’m paying like $6/month.
I’m pretty happy with it for storing music and updating my resume.
Maybe if I had the more demanding use cases like some commenters, I might not like it so much.

I’m totally cheering. And I’ll gladly spray piss around if its going to get soaked up by somebody without the wherewithal to figure out that its piss.
Your various points are … pointless. Nobody feels bad for the AI scrapers. Or the people who click the first AI result on Google. If you are just first picking this up, then pay attention.
