No, but it might make you eat somewhat less of everything else, lowering the total glycemic load of your meal. The index just tells you if that food is high in sugars, that hasn’t changed. If you eat less of it, that will help. The olive oil can make up some of the rest of your calorie needs, so you won’t need as much of the high-GI foods.
I guess. In theory.
Hook it up to the TV and use it for big screen web/media/gaming/retro-emulation. Steam and/or Sunshine/Moonlight can be used for low-latency streaming to play games from another PC (in either direction). You can use controllers and keyboard/mouse through either streaming method or bluetooth/wireless. Also handy for occasionally streaming things that don’t have smart-TV-apps, or for services where the only functional apps are service-locked, shitty and/or “Freemium” (most IPTV apps for example). Set it up for Wake-On-LAN (or Wake-On-WiLAN if it supports it). Lots of things you can do with a PC in the living room.
They will offer Leon Black as a sacrifice, if they think it will satisfy, suppress or at least mute public anger. It shouldn’t. The only thing that will satisfy me is fucking nuremburg-style trials for all of these sick pedos. There’s more than just one. Release the fucking files. We want every single one.
My solution to Adobe is: Gimp, Inkscape, Krita, Kdenlive, etc.
Fuck Adobe malware forever. It’s a bait and switch, and I’m never going to be taking the bait.
Even if there are more than ten at certain times, they’ll all die so quickly that if you stick with it (and don’t die) you’re basically guaranteed to end up in the top ten at some point. It’s like a revolving door. Everyone gets a turn!
But, you’re not forced to log in before you can see the prices online, meaning they aren’t changing the price based on who is logged in.
They are. Even when blocking cookies, which most people don’t do or rely on the “helpful popups” that pretend to decline them, they can still fingerprint your browser, your computer, your IP. They grab your WebGL context and profile it until they identify enough unique details about your hardware and how it works. They don’t need you to login to know who you probably are, where you’re coming from, and what price they should show you, and if they’re wrong, they can be probably entirely consistent and close enough to being accurate that it doesn’t matter. If you’re careful and sneaky, you can sometimes see them do this yourself using VPNs and privacy-focused browsers and addons and other tools and by seeding your cookies and ad-data to make them fit you into a different profile, but it’s rarely worth the effort and it’s rarely a productive use of anyone’s time, since they’ll figure out the real situation when you go to pay anyway. Even if they do honor the price they initially offered you and don’t mysteriously error or decline or cancel the order, you didn’t really hide anything from them in the end, you just coaxed a bit of money out of them, they’ll eat the loss and pay for the difference easily with the thousands or millions of others who didn’t notice that their price was quietly jacked up.
I sincerely doubt they’d change prices on the shelves while the store is open, where shoppers could pick an item, and then the price is higher when they get to the check out.
Oh, my sweet summer child, they are doing worse than that. They are tracking how desperate or disinterested you seem to be about prices based on past behavior and even while you are in the store. They will know who you are, they will know your circumstances, and the price will change just for you and you’d better believe they’ll know exactly where you are at all times, so they’ll have systems that can charge you the same price at checkout as they showed for you when you’re in the aisle… if they choose to, or maybe they’ll choose to raise the price at the checkout, instead… why not? They’ll probably profile you well enough to guess if you’ll even notice the raised price, or if you do, whether you’ll actually be willing to make a stink about it. Will they be wrong sometimes? Sure it will! Do they care? You know they don’t!
Of course the really savvy shoppers may be able to dodge all these tricks, maybe even benefit from some of them. But that’s not something that actually bothers them. All they’ve got to do is do it subtly and gradually enough without creating a inescapable PR shitstorm in the process so that other, slower-to-adopt retailers don’t eat their lunch while they rake in the increased profits, ultimately forcing other retailers to follow their lead and level the playing field by doing the same thing (because do you really think people are going to change their buying habits significantly when all the retailers are doing it to approximately the same degree?) instead of letting the helpless peasants-- *ahem* customers force them to back down.
Capitalism dystopia is here, don’t fool yourself into believing that they won’t do it, because not only will they fucking do it, they’re not even bothering to hide it anymore. They aren’t ashamed of it, and they aren’t scared of consequences. There aren’t any. They know there’s probably little to nothing we can do to stop them, and they know that if we do stop them on this, they’ve already got a dozen other strategies in their pocket to try next, and they’ll never stop. There is no consumer protection anymore. Consumers don’t even protect themselves. Every industry is made up by colluding oligopolies or monopolies. They’ve won, they’ve fortified themselves, and now they’re sucking the economy dry, and when they have drained all your wealth and possessions into shriveled, withered husks, if there is still work left to do, they will make you do it to survive. If there isn’t work for you to do, then tough luck, they won’t care if you are homeless or dying. That’s… probably sort of the point, really.
I have never trusted them, I always considered many of Signal’s decisions highly questionable, and I think they are either pressured into them by the US government, cooperating in what they think are limited and carefully-implemented ways while claiming and perhaps even believing they are fighting the good fight, or maybe they are just a psyop honeypot to begin with. I cannot trust them, and if they truly wanted me to, they would not do so many things that require me to trust them.
This is good thinking, and you may still want something like this anyway, as there’s always room for additional documentation, but let me propose an alternative that takes this good way of thinking a step further:
Infrastructure-as-code means my code is my documentation. How’s it configured? Look at the code. What’s it doing? Look at the code. Don’t understand why it’s doing that? Use more descriptive names for things and write more self-explanatory code. Is the code out of date with the current state? Stop implementing things manually and make the code run automatically instead so it’s never out of date anymore.
I have complete confidence in my setup and life is easy now. Except when the IAC breaks. But that’s rarely a panic situation, just mildly frustrating.
Criminals don’t follow laws. This is what happens when you put a criminal in charge of your country. People always equate anarchy with lawlessness, but this represents an even worse kind of lawlessness where only the rich, powerful and privileged get to be lawless and suffer no consequences from it, while the rest of us get even worse laws to follow and even harsher penalties whether we follow them or not. Welcome to tyranny, fun isn’t it?
Humanity has jumped the shark. I don’t want to live in this reality anymore.
Anyone who feels their “job” is insulted by someone else whose “job” is shittier than their own also calling it their “job”, is a selfish and ignorant twat who wants to make themselves feel better about their shitty lot in life by punching down at people who have it worse. We’re all in this together. It’s certainly not the doordash drivers fault we are where are. Aim your barbs and criticism upwards.
rsync, SyncThing, or Nextcloud. I use all three, often on the same machine at the same time, for various purposes.
rsync is great for scheduled syncs (but intentionally not TOO frequent – where blowing away one copy would almost instantly blow away the other copy could be a concern.) and outstanding for one-off syncs. With the right command line options it can even create a rough approximation of snapshots with copy-on-write rolling incremental backups. I believe this is the original documentation for that particular trick although it has spawned many genuine backup tools which operate very similarly using rsync under the hood, like rsnapshot.
SyncThing is great for large, intensive datasets that you want to keep perfectly synchronized across multiple computers at the same time. One example is my saved games, so without relying on Steam “cloud saves” or anything, I can just save my game and hop from gaming on one computer onto my laptop and pick up right where I left off.
Nextcloud is what I use for keeping separate copies of all my documents, photos from my phone, etc. It’s easier than SyncThing to setup and manage in my opinion, it’s simple and reliable and reasonably user-friendly in most use-cases, and seems to be more compatible with a lot of software due to its similar design to something like Dropbox. It isn’t ideal for handling huge numbers of files or very large folders in my personal opinion, but it does work if you want to try it.
VMProtect is technically not a “virus” it is a heuristic detection saying that the program is implemented in a highly suspicious way that makes it impossible to confidently determine what it actually does, and thus it could contain a virus (and viruses often use exactly this technique to hide themselves) since there is no reason for a legitimate program to do it. That said, a crack is also not a legitimate program, and sometimes to avoid the defenses of the cracked program it has to do things to obscure what it’s doing too, and sometimes that results in a false positive heuristic detection like this.
That said, we really have no way of knowing which of the two situations this is, and neither do you, and neither does AppDoze.com really. I would personally not be willing to trust it, and if I had to run it, would do so on a dedicated and isolated machine with limited access and nothing of value on it, permanently, even if it seemed fine. Any program which needs to be cracked in such a serious way is software that I am highly inclined to find an alternative for if possible. It’s not worth the potential risk and headache to me.
The temperature is too hot for me. That’s because I get suspicious of games that are mega-viral and seemingly come out of nowhere to have everybody talking about them all at once. I figure it’s often either a fad, a masterfully executed guerilla marketing campaign, or genuinely outstanding, or some combination of these things. Of course, sometimes it is just genuinely outstanding, and if that’s the case I’ll probably pick it up eventually. But there’s no rush, so regardless of which it is, I’m a patient gamer and I’m perfectly willing to wait and let the dust settle so I can get a better perspective, and very often I find these kind of games fade pretty quickly and are forgotten and in the clear light of day I’ll often realize they’re not really the kind of game I like anyway. And if they’re the kind of genuinely outstanding instant classic they seem to be at first, they’ll still be around once I’m ready for them, and potentially on sale. So, overall this strategy of suspicion-by-default and wait for more data has served me well.
There are plenty of games I’ll impulse-buy, but it’s never the popular ones, it’s the ones that have a dozen reviews. I’m always suspicious of popularity. I do not believe in the wisdom of crowds, at least for my own entertainment preferences. I have very specific interests and preferences, and frankly I know them when I see them, and this probably isn’t it.
And here I am just using my flipper zero to turn my fan on and off since the remote that came with it sucks.
It’s true, the movie does address this.
