It's behind a show-you-nothing paywall, so no thanks.
I was curious if it was actually every step of the software lifecycle, or if it was only conception through release, like so many developers think as "lifecycle". Is maintenance (aka the Gen X of software lifecycles) handled? Alas nothing to read without giving up either money or data.
Oh man this is pitiful. I just searched Printables for "philips fixables" and they posted exactly one comb attachment. There are more 3rd-party Philips-compatible attachments than there are official ones.
No wonder they didn't post a link. But for anyone who wants to see, here you go.
Fine, great, some people don't serve files. Others do, and this will break that. Collateral damage and overly-broad blocking are stupid too. In some ways even more stupid, because they won't know what they're doing unless/until someone manages to find a way to complain in a way they'll see.
That is a garbage solution, honestly. It's overly broad and punitive to anyone not using a mainstream browser (e.g. using wget to download a file). And all the bot owners will have to do is pick a non-blocked UA string and they'll be right past your door guard (I've seen this already on some of mine).
Yes of course. No one allows you to send without a valid and matching PTR record anymore.
Are you absolutely sure about that? Because my experience is vastly different. Even jumping through hoops, setting up crypto verification (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), I routinely get comments from family members that my mail doesn't go through. Sometimes they can find it in their Spam folder, but usually it's just gone, shuffled off to the big
Literally the same thing they've done about it for the last decade: not a goddamn thing.
What you're describing is exactly what I've gotten out of Microsoft, Comcast, Google, and to a lesser extent other large webmail providers. They do not care about deliverability if you're not signed up with some of their BS partner programs, which are not documented anywhere. If you try, you'll get stuck in bot-hell of generated KB articles that are all fucking wrong.
I receive similar reports from them, and the exact same e-mails sent to @gmail.com, @comcast.net, and others do validate correctly, but O365 properties can't. So I'd say this is more of a Microsoft filter problem then anything else.
That's funny. I run a small family mailing list and I can tell you that O365 doesn't check SPF/DKIM correctly anyhow. I routinely receive DMARC reports from them where they can't validate the exact same code that Google, Comcast, et al can.
Plus if you don't have SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup, nothing ever makes it to an O365 box anywhere, it just evaporates in their filters somewhere. That was a hoot to troubleshoot.
Sure, but just so you're aware, Gates was there over 50 years ago.
Not usually. Universities in the '70's were not like modern corporations and didn't require copyright assignments. I don't know if they do now or not.
What makes you think this is malice instead of stupidity?
Facebook (And Google, and Microsoft, and...) have put "AI" in charge of a lot of their boring and repetitive work. Then they stopped watching it. Now contacting support is a swamp of AI bullshit until a problem gets picked up by "the media" then someone higher-up at the target company gets notified and intervenes. How many news stories have we seen where Big Tech brings down the ban-hammer on someone for something stupid (or incorrect) and it takes a trip through "The Media" before they get contacted by "the company" and it all gets cleared up quick-like? How many?
What's more likely? Someone pays them to blocklist this, or someone mis-trains a bot which blocklists this?
I am shocked at this development. Shocked, I tell you, but in a good way.
I was a Kickstarter backer for the Time release. I bought a Time Steel after that. I backed the Time 2 as well, though that never shipped. I subscribed to Rebble.io for years after 2016. I used both watches until the batteries gave out and popped the face plates off. I've still got the hardware somewhere in a drawer. I for one would love to see new Pebble hardware and a new OS.
As it is, I'm currently using an Amazefit GTR-4 (Zepp OS), controlled through GadgetBridge. I'd dearly love to get back some of the functionality that I had with my Pebbles but no one else offers, like the Timeline, voice replies, and an always-on screen (The GTR4 has "always on" but that is nerfed compared to the Pebble e-ink screen), a working calendar (Gadgetbridge tries with Zepp, but there's some major issues that keep plaguing me), and minus all the bloat that they shovel into these things.
You obviously have never been to the Fediverse, nor done any real research into it. This is not "the same exact people running the same exact platforms for the same exact reasons." It's the Fediverse, not BlueSky. I also take it that you're too young to remember user forums of the web 1.0 epoc, where instances were run by unpaid volunteers for years, or the even older dial-up BBSes that did basically this same ("Fediverse") thing back before the Internet explosion.
What they're "pitching" is what the Fediverse is: small(ish) instances run by unpaid volunteers who have accepted responsibility on their instance. For example, let's say you sign up with InstanceA, because you want to see what this Fediverse thing is about. First off, unless you browse "all", you will only see the account(s) you subscribe to. If you don't like how 'forumX' has devolved into verbal fisticuffs, you can ignore (called "block" in most software) that forum and never see it again. If InstanceX is spewing nothing but hate, the admins of InstanceA can 'de-federate' with it, which means you as a user of InstanceA will never see anything from InstanceX again. More recent versions of Fediverse software let the user block the whole instance for themselves but not other users of that instance. From what I've seen, most Fediverse clients allow you to block users, forums, and whole instances.
The Fediverse is mostly the descendant of those user forums, where now you don't have to sign up for that instance to see their forum(s), your instance talks to theirs and ships messages back and forth so you can still browse and post to "mrbig@mastodon.xyz" or "I-heart-cats@catsarecool.xyz" from your instance, rather than signing up for the instance "mastodon.xyz" or "catsarecool.xyz" to see that forum.
What you're "pitching" is basically Facebook/Instagram/TikTok TNG where users are still subjected to whatever random bullshit "the algorithm" promotes and "moderation" is a half-baked attempt to keep people from drowning in the drek that comes up. No Fediverse instance I've ever used or know about does anything even remotely like it. Honestly it's kinda the opposite, where if you don't browse "all" you will likely get bored with all the accounts/forums you've subscribed too because all they do is run user posts (Some unfiltered, some filtered by the group admin(s)).
For the rest of us, who have actually used the Fediverse, rather than just pontificated about it online, the real question is "how is this going to work long-term", because just like the old user forums and BBSes, without a financial incentive, a lot of this will go away when the volunteer admins and mods die or wander off.
Yeah, but this is weird. The Android app PixelDroid has been in beta for over a year now (v1.0-beta39 currently), but whatever this thing is in the Play link isn't that app.
If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.
