Its way to late to fix, but instance => community and subreddit => subcommunities would have kept some of the nomenclature similar.

And instances being a community seems to be how beehaw and others want to work anyway.

Its not, but if the value of the data is low, its good enough. There is no point backing up linux isos, but family photos definitely should be properly backed up according to 3-2-1.

It depends on the value of the data. Can you afford to replace them? Is there anything priceless on there (family photos etc)? Will the time to replace them be worth it?

If its not super critical, raid might be good enough, as long as you have some redundancy. Otherwise, categorizing your data into critical/non-critical and back it up the critical stuff first?

I'm not convinced the VPNs actually make financial sense, I kinda wonder if there is someone funding them. They market so aggressively, and are priced so cheaply it doesnt quite make sense to me.

Sure, but the problem is that you dont want to make safety equipment more expensive, as it encourages cheaping out and cutting corners. People already buy cheap and nasty tires that dont grip well or stop well (but still meet roadworthiness), its best to avoid further encouraging that.

There is no reason not to just directly tax against the weight of the car, as defined by the manufacturer. There already is a yearly rego payments, just scale that directly against weight.

A direct tax is also clear and obvious. If someone has a large car, the rego weight tax will clearly show they are paying more. Making tires more expensive just gets rolled into the price of the tire, which are already moderately expensive, so its easier to just rationalise it and ignore it.

Pages are statically generated

Can you elaborate on that? To me, statically generated would mean you are pre-rendering a html page for every possible search, which doesnt sound possible? Do you mean that its all server side generated (at the time of search)?

Yeah, it really is. On the upside, if you get rejected from a company that doesnt even have the time to manually review your CV, that might be a blessing in disguise.

Have they? There is the air canada thing, but that was kinda a different situation, the chat bot was explicitly acting for the company, and made direct claims for the company?

IANAL, but proving discrimination was already hard, and now they can just point at the black box and blame it, so its gonna get harder?

Except that they are now protected by the "We arent racist, they algorithm did it" defence, so realistically, only us plebs will lose.

I've never used my app either, I lack the prerequisites :D I wrote it for my partner last time there was a thing about US cops going after the data. But I dont maintain it, so drips is the better option in general.

When drips gets caught selling data I'll revive my app :D

Huh, thats good. I scanned their website for mentions of encryption and didnt find it.

Mine isnt on fdroid, wasnt worth the effort. May as well remove from Google Play as well tbh, Drips seems all round a better option.
