@alienghic I like having them available if I need to do work on a plane or somewhere else with patchy WiFi but wouldn't routinely install them due to the low storage space on SSDs, especially the latest Macbook Pro models

@david_ross if only it were a little easier to find them

@gargron 34°C and 80+% humidity in Hong Kong today. Melting a little

@kensanata @brainblasted the thing that worries me is when someone works out how to get the AIs to launch a huge pretexting / social engineering campaign. Human voices make everything seem more realistic and "trustworthy" (for now), especially for less savvy people. It could even go further and:
1. Automatically call for a "survey"
2. One week later, call using a different voice. Say there is a problem with the bank account
3. Automatically call the bank and empty the account

@schestowitz it's the intermediary stage before the workers jobs get automated out of existence. Eventually we are going to run out of unskilled jobs and I am not sure what we can do about that apart from UBI.

@KthulhuKat I can't answer your question but I can recommend using sensitive tooth paste. It may seem like well marketed expensive nonsense but it works quite well.

My dentist also advised that it can be used topically, after I was left with an extremely sensitive tooth post-extraction. He said to leave it for 15 minutes a few times a day for a week. It was life changing.

@edsu

I'll feel a lot more comfortable with this idea once the "Support account migration" issue has been closed. It seems like quite an important feature if instances are going to periodically disappear.

"Hackers steal T-Mobile data on 15 million US customers"

@viomi brainstorm some words and try them on this site: https://domainr.com

@mlemweb congrats. I think reaching a complete stranger who then wanted to collaborate with you on Open Source is a genuine achievement.

@maloki Not sure how SwiftKey came up with that sentence. Maybe I was a furniture salesperson in a previous life.

@maloki welcome to Mastodon and we are a leading UK firm based in London with a wide range of high quality furniture.

@theauditor is this optional or compulsory?

@scottnesbitt I have negotiated salaries with blockchain companies before and they have so far preferred to give stock options over the tokens that they are selling. I have never explicitly asked for tokens but it generally seems out of the question.

@MikeElgan according to this, there are over 1.1MM. Its anyone's guess how many of these are active, though

@davidpgil that's not currently implemented. I guess you could boost and reply or add the URL of a toot into your own and leave it up to the client to decide how to display it

@arjenpdevries @Mastodon should be easy, as long as you use a domain/subdomain that you will have control of indefinitely

@david_ross another alternative to full stack GitHub is sticking your git repo anywhere you like and deploying it using https://www.netlify.com. They provide the deploy process and hosting infrastructure (which is https by default, even on custom domains). I currently host a Hugo and Jekyll site there.
