Someone's concern for privacy can change throughout the day or at different locations. To keep the metaphor going, they might be fine with the top being open while they're driving, but want it closed when the car is parked.

I've gone back to Blu-Ray for some things because I no longer trust streaming sites to keep them available.

Political organizing is a great example of something that shouldn't be owned by this kind of firm.

(Followed by every other kind of organization. The concept of treating "business" as a set of interchangeable parts that move money in and out of opaque boxes and not actually focusing on what they do and why is massively broken IMO)

OK, I like the comment here wondering about the thermometer's range: "things with an interesting temperature are generally uncomfortable to hold your hand next to. I'm sure there will be at least one support call because someone tries to measure fire from 1 inch away."

When someone named Kafka says it's the "weirdest"...that says something!

I learned the term "glass cliff" when she was hired.

The rest of the page? Probably. I stopped reading after the comic.

I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I'm also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone's actually using it.

It's not super-fast by any means, but it's fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.

So the $140/year subscription they're already collecting isn't enough for them?

I guess this is as good a reminder as any to look at what I'm actually using Prime for these days.

If I was only using it for file sync, maybe. Though as it happens, the Linux desktop file sync client works fine on here, and I can work on files locally.

But that doesn't help for things like, say, account settings, or tasks, or getting the right caldav URL to be able to plug it into a local client.

I'm using it for multiple services, not just one, and while some have apps available, not all do, and some features aren't supported in the corresponding app.
