The laundry room monitor in my building went down lol... (The monitor being the thing that lets you check a website to see if any of the machines are free or when they're done, etc.)

I agree with you but may I offer you a comma in these trying times?

Oh, I agree. My comment really hinges on the idea that it actually works. Which I doubt immensely haha.

I try to never underestimate what people are willing to do, like, and put up with for whatever reasons.

Considering how un-tech savvy newer generations are, I would not be shocked if the idea of being able to tell a computer what to do and "it just does it" appeals. This is, of course, assuming it works as intended (lol.)

I also see this as a further dumbing down of that ability to understand tech. Hypothetically, if this were to launch, go mainstream, and the vast majority of future computer users use it, can you imagine a world in which a future teenager looks confused and goes, "What's an app?"

Feels like these things are lining up "coincidentally" huh?

Even better, don't use Google lol

 

Customer service support company 5CA has released a statement contradicting claims by Discord that it was the victim of a hack last month.
...
5CA says that a preliminary investigation showed that the incident may have been the result of "human error," though it offers no details as to what exactly that implies.

I believe folks have mentioned ZenDesk was involved and this is probably the true source, but the waters have been getting kind of muddy. I think it's important to keep putting pressure on this situation until the truth falls out, if it ever does.

 

Going forward, it will group any text ads on the Search page into a "Sponsored results" section that will appear at the top of the screen. ... Once you scroll past the section with ads, you can click a button to hide all sponsored results.

I believe the numbers I saw were about 3-5k, so it might not handle your collection well. However, I encourage you to check their github to confirm rather than just go off my vague recollection alone.

The devs are also pretty responsive to bug reports!

I will say that they themselves have mentioned that there is kind of a limit in library size because the project is meant to serve "small to modest personal libraries" but I think it was ranked as a few thousand, so that won't be a problem for most people I think.

Never even heard of Mirlo until now. Neat! Thank you for shining a light on it.
