Not sure how true it was, but there was a YouTuber claiming that their videos were getting entirely demonetized because too many of their viewers had Ad blockers enabled. So even though 75% of people were seeing ads on the video, Google was keeping that ad revenue, withholding it all from the creator because 25% weren’t getting ads. The claim the youtuber made is that this will probably predominantly impact creators with a more tech savvy / privacy aware audience, resulting in less of that niche content.

Anyway, this is anecdotal, but I wouldn’t put it past Google to pass the issue to the creators for the actions of their consumers, even though it’s not their fault.

You know they had to wait until today to announce this, had this come out yesterday, everyone would have assumed it was an April Fools joke with how absurd it it.

Not to defend Musk or Trump, but this is literally what Trump campaigned on. Trump said he’d be dictator on day one, and that Musk would be in charge of gutting agencies. Anyone who is surprised by their actions after months of projecting their plan is naive and/or ignorant.

It’s a shame J. Walter Weatherman was killed when Michael left the door open with the air conditioner running.

He will probably have his caddie’s chauffeur do it for him

Seems like they’re going to have Waltz take the fall for all of this. He must have had Jeffrey Goldberg in his contacts list to add him on the Signal chat, and Trump probably thinks he’s been in contact with Goldberg and therefore not 100% loyal to Trump. Getting rid of Mike Waltz over using Gmail improperly would isolate the impact to just him, rather than everyone on the Signal chat.

Subtract this amount from the DOGE “savings”

How many Scaramuccis are in a Hegseth?

“We’re sorry you found out” is basically what he’s saying.

:surprised-pikachu:

I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today

Why would you want to shoot yourself? Don’t do x.

They didn’t really care about her emails with that statement, it was her pronoun which was the problem they were crying about.

The P is silent

Yeah, I remember when it was $75 but didn’t jump on it then. Back then I didn’t think they’d ever charge for basic functionality that was offered for free for 10 years. I don’t regret not getting it though, this is the kick I need over to Jellyfin.

Let’s Encrypt supports DNS verification, if you have access to update the zone file. It makes automation harder, but there are scripts to do the DNS update for the verification.

Was the price the same then as it is now? $120 USD? Based on the article, the price will only raise at the end of April.

Every one of the posts today that I’ve received have the url https://lemmy.laitinlok.com/pictrs/image/e1be7d9e-9e3e-4ba9-9c08-1ff084b554e1.png. If everyone has the same links, then logging people’s IP would get you the same information as logging IPs from a public post in any popular community. I think that would only make sense if each user was receiving different URLs, for the attacker to log the requested resource and their reference of which user they sent that URL to. I can’t confirm this suspicion on my own, but if the URL I posted is the same one you got today, then I doubt there’s any attempt to match users to their IP addresses.

Yess finally. Switched off of Chrome after seeing uBlock Origin was going to go away, but I have a lot of PWAs which has been hacky to get working.

DENIC doesn’t even report domain expiration in whois data, which is super annoying. I guess you pay per month technically, but was new to me for a project to monitor a whole bunch of domains for renewal.
