It looked like Google Maps to me so I made a comparison. What is old is new again? https://imgur.com/a/b6HCx78

I won't call clickbait on this as it is a personal site and the headline is accurate. I saw another article recently with the same issues. He is dead from a heart attack. If dispat…

It isn't all about getting somebody TO the hospital but getting them INTO the hospital/ED/ER. EMS in an ambulance who are alerting a hospital of an MI enroute will get their attent…

I wonder how much of Meta the corporation is a scam waiting to crumble. Hundreds of billions of dollars can make people do questionable things. -their revenue is 99% ads with more …

My two cents of info as mildly informed. I am a volunteer ff/emt. My department is very well funded compared to the rest of our county. Compared to cities, it is laughably underfun…

Is Covered California a government entity, for profit, non profit, other...? Not that it matters. "Leak" is not the right term. By default a "website" is a 404. Throw some HTML on …

Appreciate the response. Wow, not going to happen. I am a (self deprecating) script kiddy. This is overkill for me. Everything you said was over my head. On a positive note, I don'…

I tried NextCloud + Memories but multiple hosts said the facial recognition app wouldn't work. Face recognition is important. I tried Librehost for Nextcloud, seemed great until fa…

I love the war stories people are sharing. I am surprised nobody is addressing the main point of the article- the frustration of being blamed. Mistakes and technical limitations ar…

I am trying to be fair with the title. By Tech I mean ad-driven "tech" companies like Google and Facebook. Companies the surveil, aggregate, and sell access to data. If you can tar…

The main navigation on my site is: Thoughts/Ideas/Stuff. Thoughts- serve no purpose, brain dump so I can stop thinking about them. Ideas- I wish I could make but can't. Stuff- thin…

I had a recent experience with Venmo, owned by Paypal. Not sure if it is related but it was very frustrating. I thought I already had Venmo so when I customer asked I said yes. Tur…

Somewhat related- I am often disappointed and surprised at how many new houses are being marketed as "green". 4200 square feet, 3 bed 4 bath, 3 car garage- but it has solar panels,…

Publii. It has a WP Importer tool. Your site layout looks similar to some of the free themes. The "old school" simplicity of using a desktop CMS is great in my opinion.

I have no issues with the wine before hand but here is an alternative. I wear a leopard print thong to interviews, they are my interview man-panties. (I do wear pants over them) I …

What are you trying to achieve, or what do you mean by "give back"? Which is more important, helping people or sticking with your SE skills? There isn't a wrong answer- I sincerely…

Wikipedia being a starting point is one of my favorite things about it. I really like that all their sources are cited and linked to. It always amazes me that news organizations do…

Wikipedia/Wikimedia is worth hundreds of dollars per year to me. I occasionally throw $20 at them. It is a steal. I never asked myself if they have too much money or if they are us…

Awesome! One thing I that would be nice is to add a dominant color to the Color Extractor section. In this example pic I used red is not chosen. https://www.coolaroo.com/uploads/co…

This linked article actually names "the manufacturer" and the lawyers. Name and shame! https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200316/14584244111/softb...

This says he "commits" 10B to a new initiative named after himself. What do terms like "commits" and "pledges" mean? From the article it looks like all he did was post on Instagram…

Is 100 billion really that much? The church has 16 million members. That is about $6,000 per member. The church has had 200 years of tithing and compound interest to get to this po…

My search stopped working months ago, typing anything blanked out whole the Start menu. I figured Windows was punishing me for turning Cortana off in the settings. At some point in…

"All the books on Amazon are about other people, I want to read a book about me." That is not at all how you phrased it but in spirit of self-awareness and improvement I reworded i…

I hear the term predatory used with school loans but I don't get it, what is predatory about them? Almost all of these people are HS graduate adults. These adults have choices- no …
