The key to good conversation is finding something interesting in what they say and delving into it. Why did they go there? What did they like about it? Where are they going next?

The key to boring conversation is the opposite, short answers with no room to navigate. Oh, I guess. Thats nice. Not much really.

It takes a while to kick habits, the feeling of "who the fuck will ever see this comment" keeps stopping me from posting half the time. At least on Lemmy there's plenty of chance someone will.

Shit that's a lot, here's to them finally getting closer to banning that shit!

Huh, I did not know!

You can use the inbuilt containers to separate cookies, which should allow you to use multiple accounts simultaneously. Profiles appears to be the direct equivalent to chromium profiles however and may function better but I haven't used it yet.

Some crazy hail for me, was a good 10 minutes of hammering before a torrent of water

I was too, but sounds like the TL;DR is they're the supporting infrastructure which substack uses:

Substack’s team built its service on Stripe’s infrastructure, which bypassed significant investment in engineering. By leaning on Stripe’s expertise, Substack could scale quickly and focus its energy on fulfilling its promise to writers. The company offers better services because it can continue to lean on Stripe and direct extra bandwidth toward customers.

For me, it was often a place where a lot of qualified people would essentially write blogs because hosting their own site for it would get utterly ignored by google. The last few years though I've got more utter morons than people who can write a good article, even for generic questions that they could straight up copy and paste from another site.

While it likely is spam for the majority of users, I imagine the mods are looking at de-federating an instance that fulfills a specific need for a small number (keeping alien.top users updated on reddit). Because of that, it will likely have a bit of push back to de-federate entirely vs. a request to create the ability to block users/platforms. Think of it like newsletters, we need the ability to unsubscribe/block them, but we shouldn't necessarily ban them outright.

The short answer for this is that an employer probably doesn't give a shit about you watching youtube at work, but what they (by they, their IT/security teams) do care about is your account logging in from a new geolocation, or clicking a risky link in an unusual email. If the employer logs everything that occurs (which is required by a lot of areas such as PCI DSS for electronic payment) they can track who's account was compromised, how it happened, exactly what was done by the actor, and how far it's spread across the network - if at all. If no logs are kept, then it may as well have never happened.

ETA: there's a large difference between mouse tracking mentioned by the article and logging though, the former is rather unethical and I'd hope that it's never used in the name of security, I sure can't think of a use.

The public part of it would be the RSA pubkey, likely linked with an identifier such as the SHA-256 hash of the email. You could quite easily have that ledger public and it would take millennia to crack any of the emails, much easier to use fuzzing with common words and names than trying wasting computing power for a single email. The whole point of blockchain is that it's an immutable public ledger which would actually suit this idea quite well.
