I tried to use your platform but immediately faced a pay wall so gave up.

So if you don't have access to your phone (auth device) you will have a bad time?

Some of my wheelbases on some of my converted vehicles are not what will be stored on record (often the DVSA/DVLA provide the incorrect information especially for historic vehicles).

Worth mentioning AntiElitz too :)

Thanks for the wargerr recommendation!

Adding to the anecdote, OBS works great on Ubuntu.

I began this painful process just recently deleting the vast majority of my old videos. :(

I didn't make this, @mikesol did - I'm aware of it because he posted it to the Etherpad Discord :)

"Elon started Tesla to bring about the EV revolution." -- Nope.

1) He didn't start Tesla.

2) He only popularized it in the US. The rest of the world was already building EVs.

Britain being where the victims are, not the criminals.

Some reasons why Brits might be so so vulnerable:

* Major: English speaking so common to be targeted from less affluent ex-commonwealth countries.

* Major: Ageing population have most of the wealth.

* Major: Lots of vulnerable victims online and relatively high social media engagement.

* Major: Little fear of retaliation (other than Jim Browning). The UK is having less of an engagement in global policing (due to leaving Brexit) and has less reach as a consequence

* Minor: Degrading international relations. Less empathy shown towards Brits due to somewhat inward looking foreign policies over the past decades.

* Minor: Growing economic disparity causing a glut of "get rich quick" victims.

Honestly I think Jim Browning is showing how this problem is solved and is probably having a 100x impact over the average bank worker. The Banks should be funding him and others like him.

For those that don't know who Jim is, he does awesome work in identifying scammers and working with the local / relevant authorities into shutting their services down.

.com for commercial products & services.

.org for educational/community/collaboration.

So more of a focus on commercial products & services. Got it, wish the team all the best!

"The only way a small developer gets paid for a patent is by selling it to a patent troll."

There is another way. You can sell the company that owns the patent to a larger company (that isn't a troll). M&A's often assign a high value to IP...

Am I on Hacker News or Youtube...

Friends & Family might be a higher priority for them.

Linux on the desktop is pretty viable now, but yeah, still hard to convince the public without marketing shenanigans.
