What stuff? Snap? The official flatpak? The official deb repository?

Discover only removes it from ten sites.

They are talking about the password lookup: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

But, it’s the same deal. You have to trust they are actually doing what they say. Mozilla uses haveibeenpwned for their basic Monitor service too.

No. If your name is Dave Jones they have to look around those broker sites for Dave Jones. If those sites were using hashes then they could use hashes too.

This is no different than any credit or identity monitoring service. The need to give them basic information should be obvious, people have to decide if the company is trustworthy or not.

Yes, that is adjusted for inflation. They raised prices beyond what was necessary to account for increased costs and had record high profit margins, so you had companies like ConAgra foods reporting profits 60% higher than the same quarter the year before, and people accepted it because of the pandemic and stimulus packages (“Biden dumped money in the economy!”) and labor shortages. It made a great scapegoat. Those loans existed before the pandemic, they really don’t account for what happened. Inflation driven by corporate gouging had never been seen before like this.

You can find a lot of information about greedflation.

If it was just devalued currency the corporations would also be dealing with a devalued currency and not recording record profits. That’s one of the reasons getting a handle on it was such a challenge.

That definitely helps. I think it’s interesting that access to uncommon opportunities is generally presented as a negative thing in Taylor Swift’s case but ignored for Michael Jackson or even contemporaries like Beyonce.

Yes, that one became such a trope it made it all the way to SNL and I doubt Google paid for the advertising.

Like the people walking around malls and driving their Tesla with one on? I think those are completely organic. I think for a little while there will be a subset of people who see them as a status symbol and want the attention.

Probably not like Andre 3000 going out and making an ambient album, but there are a lot of differences stylistically. For example her pandemic albums Folklore and Evermore are a lot less traditional pop, and can be more folk sounding. Doing some songs with Bon Iver helped that too.

I think a lot of times people associate her with bubblegum pop from a lot of the singles that came out maybe ten years ago and were heavily played on the radio but that hasn’t been the sound for a while.

It’s worth noting that of her top played songs in Spotify, I think maybe only one of them was on the radio. Her two pandemic albums Evermore and Folklore do not get radio time at all, I don’t recall hearing much on the radio from her albums Lover or Reputation either, but probably some.

I think a lot of times people heard shake it off or similar when it was played all the time and think that is representative.

Both of her parents worked in finance and upper middle class, but not “quite rich”. He invested in a 3% stake in the label, approximately $120,000. That is big money for most but not ultra rich money. Even today they are worth the low millions.

Contacts, enough money to launch a career, business acumen, hard work, and luck have been most of it.

When people talk about her range they are usually talking about musical styles, she has a lot of different sounds. Not all of her songs are about relationships, but probably most of them, they are not all about breakups though. That isn’t too uncommon though, probably one of the most common things people sing about.

The special use list for use by individuals and business is actually very small and hasn’t been updated in a long time, which is a big part of the problem with people inventing their own.

Reserved TLDs are documented. The issue is they prioritized all the crazy ones before they added what people at home and businesses were actually using. ICANN won’t sell .lan because it is used too much. They haven’t tried so there is no official decision, but they won’t - they did try .corp and .home and abandoned it.

.local is reserved in RFC 6762, but for multicast DNS.

It’s such a shitty situation. ICANN is not going to sell .home or .corp as they found a crapton of traffic when they checked for it, but IETF never finished an RFC for them - however people easily stumble into the draft RFC that lists what they were thinking of, and assume stuff like .lan is good to go too. They’re safe by ICANN policy, but unsanctioned.

.home.arpa is safe, per RFC, but user unfriendly to normal people. There are a few others but none a corporation would realistically use. I’ve used . internal for lab testing stuff for ages, so this is extra good news for me I guess.

Really I wish they’d have just reserved the most common ones rather than getting caught in some bureaucratic black hole.

Air Force and Space Force is 42 since October.

Air Force and Space Force max enlistment age is 42 now. Not for everyone but they do come with skills that are usually marketable outside, respect from random people, and of course room and board. That is not a short term solution though, it can be be months before they send you to basic training, they are also picky about current health, medical history, ASVAB, etc.
