Yup, thank you for sharing the link!

We should stop calling it “insurance”, it doesn’t ensure anything. We should call it what it is - a protection racket. Either that, or we could refer to it as “medical loans” - of course, it’s all paid in advance, in many installments. Oh wait. That’s just defining a protection racket again, isn’t it?
That’s why you have to request the documentation and proof of specialty to confirm whether they’re acting out of scope.
Most social media has a leftward bias. Avoiding politics in any form of social media now is like trying to avoid plankton in ocean water - you might be able to do it, but you’ll need a really tight filter.
Fair enough, but I personally don’t like unverified QR codes. I’ve had experiences with QR stuff and I’ve switched over to using an entirely offline program to decode them because of it.
Hasn’t been my experience, but I’m mostly in a sphere of scientists, creatives, and memes. A couple art museums post some great stuff too.
I don’t remember MSN Messenger being able to handle IRC chats. If it had, I wouldn’t have needed an IRC client. But Threads won’t drown out other voices, they’ll just add voices to the conversation. There’s content on Threads that’s worth following, and I don’t think it’s valuable to lose that because of a few engagement farms that you can either personally block or defederate.
Somewhat selfishly, I’d suggest she try Mbin instead. It allows her to interact with both the microblog side of the fediverse (including bridges) and the thread side, from the same interface.
Threads is a great example of a company acknowledging that the open web exists and bringing content people want to places where they want to be. I’d like to be able to interact with everyone through one or two accounts, not have to maintain a Meta account, an Mbin account, a Google account, and all the rest.
You may not like it, but I believe the open web is about things like Threads being federated - individual platforms interacting freely, no matter who built them.
Beautiful ship, but her neck was weird compared to Enterprise. Makes you wonder if they tried saucer separation and missed once.
As someone who’s mostly in a similar place to you, I think the only option currently is to try dual-booting (or getting a second machine just for Linux stuff). I’d suggest starting with Linux Mint as the version to use. It looks and feels a lot like Windows, minus a few exceptions that you can probably get around. I think you’ll need to keep Windows 10 around for a while longer, as well. The biggest things to note: Capital letters matter in Linux, and the Run dialog defaults to Alt+F2 (I know it’s weird in comparison, but you’ll either get used to it or reassign it)
I don’t know if you have the WSL set up on your PC, I know that I don’t. But that’s a good place to start trying it out if you have it. Either that, or in a virtual machine (VMWare or something like it). Then, slowly shift over to Linux as much as you can. You should be able to run Windows 10 in a virtual environment under Linux (this sharply reduces the security risks that you mentioned).
You do not need to use Firefox on Linux, no more than you need to use Edge on Windows. Brave, Vivaldi, even Chrome, are available from most repositories (aka app stores). Just search on the website flathub,org (in Mint, you can install Flatpak apps through the main installer, or the command line, your choice), Chances are there’s a Linux version of the browser you use available somehow (I say this as a Pale Moon user). The only exception to this is Safari, but there are WebKit browsers available.
Nope, it reads as L-level correction, so up to 7%.
Wow, this is only level L according to my device, so it’s nominally less than 7% distorted. That’s crazy.
But next time, maybe post the URL in the thread title.
Oh neat. I’ve been aware of this for a while and I’m glad in an academic sense that it exists. I guess I would need more people that I care about who are on Bluesky.
I’m kind of upset that this ‘toxic’ person came from the same instance as I’m using. Most people I encounter on the local pages aren’t bad folks.
Now if only there were instances willing to actually host anything worth watching.
Most people would pick the “stay out” option.
Anything you might have spent on anime, manga, or games from the publishers or studios involved with this gang…
Oh no, each claim is a new loan application. You pay in your premium to have the right to apply.
