Re: Get paid to read emails
Re: Get paid to read emails $0.02 per email? Forty-nine more messages and you could have enough to pick up a chocolate bar from the corner store!Assuming, of course, that this one allows you to cash out at anything below a set amount you won't reach without first sacrificing enough time to get a real job that actually values your time and energy. As much as it pains me to say this, the last service where you distribute your data for a cut of the profit was probably more lucrative.There are always better ways to earn money. As others have said, don't waste the most valuable thing you have on nothing.

Re: is last pass accessible? I've been using Last pass for the better part of a year now across all my devices, and the complaints I do have are very few and far between.If you're wanting a place to freely keep and autofill passwords without much thought, you want Last pass. They check every box from features to security, and were designed to get every-day computer users into the habit of relying on password generators, with extras like notifications when data in your vault is located in data breaches.While I can't bring myself to make excuses for companies whose one and only job is storing sensitive data waking up to a pwned server, I have mad respect for the way they owned up to it, immediately notified their customers and completely overhauled their infrastructure before finding out that no user-facing data was actually leaked. All the attacker managed to grab was encrypted blobs that aren't going to do much good, a considerable feat in and of itself when you consider their routine security audits. I'd happily go for we've gotten hacked but it didn't matter any day of the week.Defender is right, and this is why I'd advise against switching right now if you don't intend on making the commitment to premium.lastpass wrote:Changes to LastPass Free + 25% off the plan of your choiceWe’re sending you this reminder that beginning March 16, 2021, LastPass Free will include access on one type of device only: either computers (including all desktops and laptops) or mobile devices (including all mobile phones, smart watches, and tablets).

Re: Amazing website to earn a little cash: killi.io
Re: Amazing website to earn a little cash: killi.io cool idea I guess... But not worth your time and that's coming from a penny pincher.You're voluntarily consenting to data collection and sharing for a chance at a maximum of $3 per month. If you're lucky, with patience and effort you could end up getting a maximum of two complimentary Doordash orders every year. Which is also 9/10 of Manamon if that's your goal.Want to reach Manamon? Install our app on your mobile device so we can constantly track your location and send it to god knows who.Their business model seems to be data collection is meh, but everyone is doing it anyway, and at least we tell and give you an insane fraction of what we're getting in exchange. Maybe I could see sharing a little for passive income if you happen to reside in a country with few other opportunities... Except they only support five, all of which have decent infrastructure.Compare that to upward of $9.99 / month from Microsoft Rewards, assuming you're OK with biding into their ecosystem and saying good riddance to a superior search engine.

Re: Bitcoin markets your options are probably going to depend on location. Just about the most popular, semi-accessible solution that everyone knows about is Coinbase. Partially because unless you're using their pro version, it's simple to the point that all you need to know is that you want to buy x amount of BTC. Also, their fees here in America are the best I've seen among competing platforms, obviously beating marketplaces by a mile.HTHOh yeah and...moderation:Moved to the correct room.end moderation URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/612192/#p612192 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: A new way of hosting public files, EG Public library has been moved!
Re: A new way of hosting public files, EG Public library has been moved! There's a lot to Keybase that isn't file sharing, though from a consumer standpoint the prospect of 250GB is probably what makes most hop on the bandwagon.The CLI certainly makes up for where the UI falls short, and then a bunch. If you don't feel comfortable using it though, just play around for a while. Buttons are unlabeled, but you'll eventually memorize where things are optionally with the help of OCR, or such I did six months ago. Don't limit yourself to apps with far from stellar accessibility practices. I'll give these guys a pass because the app is usable, and feature packed to say the least.The Keybase FileSystem (KBFS) is also pretty impressive, and combined with keybase.pub can even suffice for a simple file sharing website when you add custom HTML.I've shown interest in this lately, which has spawned a few side projects. The most notable is an app that sits in the background, monitoring/speaking/playing sounds for changes in your Keybase mount, think Speak Dropbox but not. I wouldn't mind maybe polishing this up tomorrow if others would find it useful.I have since entirely uninstalled/cancelled my Dropbox and OneDrive subscriptions in favor of this on top of B2 for backups, and have been living happily and a couple dollars richer ever since. Your future self will certainly thank you.

Re: Has anyone used tour?
Re: Has anyone used tour? By itself and in theory, Tor is safe.In practice this isn't always the case. A number of things can leak information without your knowledge.Get the Tor Browser from the official tor-project site, optionally verifying with a public signature. Routing your whole system through the network is brimming with fuckups just waiting to happen.Keep the default settings set the way they are. Not only does changing these present a potential security risk, it gives you a fingerprint that makes your traffic stand out. To get an idea, try the EFFs panopticlick.Tor Browser alone does it's best to ensure a default configuration with your interests at heart, but it won't protect against stupid mistakes and disclosure of personally identifiable information. It won't protect against you logging into a clearnet site that knows your RL email address, name and mom. if you log into anything even remotely linking back to you, best consider that session compromised.Unless you have personally audited the code for and implicitly trust a plugin, don't add it. Even then it's easy to overlook something, so just don't.keep _javascript_ disabled at all times. Remember that it's trivial to set up a traffic-sniffing Tor exit node, so leave no stone unturned in the encryption department.Contrary to misinformation floating around, using a VPN (especially public ones) on top of Tor doesn't necessarily make you safer and can in some instances offer more harm than good.If any of what I'm saying doesn't make sense, especially the part about an exit node, you have research to do. Minimally a rough understanding of how Tor works internally past it keeps me safe which is cool. I can't stress this enough. If any of those creepypasta stories were to come true, it would be the fault of the PEBCAC. That saying about knowledge being power couldn't be more on point here. You have a world's worth of knowledge at your fingertips, a fascinating subject and the resources to explore it. Run away.

First, it's Tor, not tour.Second, Tor isn't the gateway to the wild wild west fraught with red rooms and hit sights that youtube and creepypasta claim it is, much to the solace of the uninformed like my 12 year-old self.In fact, the vast majority of the sites you'll come across are activism and security related. A number of clearnet sites actively share their mirrors for those folks or just anyone concerned with protecting their anonymity. That is what holds everyone together, after all.Not to say nothing illegal happens there... It does. And if you're wanting to find it you will, but you're talking about a small subset really. Saying the onion router is filled with creepypasta like situations is kinda saying the internet is a hotbed for sex and pornography. If you want to read content from individuals living under oppressive regimes sharing their stories, have at it. If you want a history lesson, have at it. If you want to be blown away with radical opinions, have at it.If the darknet can be said to have anything in high quantities it's diversity, and for good reason.Which brings me to my next point. The same mentality that says no one knows who you really are presents the classic moral what you do when no one is watching question. Combine with diversity and you get blotches of serious extremism. Take everything you see with a grain of salt. Please do your research beforehand. There is plenty of misinformation to be found about the darknet, mostly because people realized they could get cheap clicks and subscriptions that way.Good luck!

Re: Backup Utilities for Windows?
Re: Backup Utilities for Windows? Make sure you're selective when copying appdata. At minimum, exclude cache, microsoft, Microsoft_Corporation, temp and whatever else exists and looks to be unnecessary from Local and Roaming. The bulk of LocalLow can also probably go.Desktop, Favorites, Links, Searches and Tracing are probably redundant.Basically what I'm saying is copying/pasting your entire user folder probably won't be viable. Take what you need and fuck the rest. If you use the builtin refresh utility, which probably isn't the best idea for reasons outlined by others, you get a windows.old that tries it's best to exclude system files.

Re: Backup Utilities for Windows?
Re: Backup Utilities for Windows? Backblaze and Crashplan are long term backup solutions. Every content creator should have one in case shit hits the fan.Seems like you want something short term though. Since refreshing will get rid of your apps, best to copy appdata, documents, downloads and anything else of importance over to an external media, then move them back over when the refresh is completed. This is a good excuse to sift through heaps of unused and unnecessary data. Of course it's been years since I've known, but the prospect of a totally clean filesystem sounds nice for however long it lasts.

Re: Any smokers in here?
Re: Any smokers in here? @17Surprised this has yet to be mentioned. Guessing the same rings true for cigarettes, but there's an art to lighting your cigar or blunt or joint just right that can take a while to master.For the best experience, when you have a flame, slowly start rotating it in a circular motion so you get as even of a light as possible.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election @camlornHere's the thing. People cast their ballot because they (hopefully) believe their actions are improving the status quo. Many cast their ballot in favor of a candidate because they agree and sympathize with at minimum a couple issues said party represents. It's ordinarily not quite as black and white as you're making it out to be. If it were, there would be more than two real/obvious options.Some, myself included, actually think it's come down to finding the lesser of two evils, a far cry from the most superlative a world leader like America has to offer. Dismal state of things but that's politics for ya.For what it's worth I'm with you. Especially where it pertains to the ADA and ACA. The former most if not all of us rely on, the latter I will in the future assuming it isn't struck down. Neither are flawless but they thankfully exist and my life would be a bitch without at least the ADA assuming they weren't able to come up with something better.That logic extends to anyone and everyone. Given the dubious nature of fate, Trump himself could take an unexpected reverse trip down a flight of stairs tomorrow and never be the same again. Given the dubious nature of fate, there is unfortunately no telling who could end up in an accident and go from opposing the ADA with little more than a fragile idea of how it could be made better to requiring it to merely function as an equal. A popular mantra floating around advocacy groups. Same applies to gay and insert other rights here. That being said I'd actually be willing to bet a fair number of voters don't know what the ADA does, much less why it is necessary, much less that it was under attack by the GOP for a short time. If you recall, there was a considerably small amount of coverage outside disability circles.Some perspective. Right now I reside in middle of nowhere Missouri, which just so happens to be one of the most second amendment friendly places in the nation. While we've seen more polarization in the last decade, as far as I know there's still a pro-Trump republican majority. I was raised in your stereotypical friendly small blue-collar outskirt town. People generally have the best of intentions, and beyond the shadow of a doubt want to do good. By do good I mean there's a traditional hard-working culture that says you always, always reach a hand out to those in need. No matter the circumstances. Failing to do so is contemptible to the extreme. I have obviously learned to see the inherent flaws in this type of system, mainly the occasional intolerance toward progressivism. For the most part though? People are good and willing to listen. People want to see change, even in that environment.It has been shown again and again that gun control, more specifically the right to buy and own assault weapons, is one of those issues that make or break votes, ditto increased military spending. Do I have to agree with it? Of course not. But by that same token, Correlation obviously does not imply causation. It would be ludicrous to assume those who vote republican do so out of a desire to see a degraded quality of life for minority groups. When you're given two choices, often times there will be policies you tend to disagree with on both sides. IMO it's selfish and unreasonable for me to expect them to shed their party affiliation and fundamental beliefs if they wish to remain in association. Because at the end of the day, we as people have varying priorities. In an ideal world there would be no threat to laws that support the equality of anyone on the basis of disability, religion... To take a leaf out of Biden's book, "you know the thing." Obviously it isn't a perfect world though, and we've gotta chip away at one thing at a time. Unity is important.

Factor in the prevalence of media bias nowadays and you're looking at more who vote based on emotion and misinformation because their Fox or CNN prettify one over the other. You have people on the fence and pressured by association. Musicalman illustrated this eloquently ninety or so posts back.I have close friends and family who would and will vote against my candidate of choice. I don't have to like it. I reserve the right to disagree. I reserve the right to believe they are mislead by a false agenda. I reserve the right to call them out in the hopes that I may cause them to consider a different point of view... but at some point there will be nothing more I can do, nothing more I can say before deciding to put the issue to bed.That of course assumes I know where they fall. It is likely, probable even, that you are surrounded by those who will vote Trump but don't feel the need to worm it into interactions. So essentially what I've gotten out of this is there is a willingness to sacrifice connections, friends, family members who have made you the person you are today on the grounds of their political selection. You don't hate Trump voters in an abstract, but that fact alone is enough to drag your perception of them down and down and down even if they made significant contributions to your life?Ok... I guess. But then where do we draw the line? They were cool for ten years but I recently figured out where they fall politically and now it's no more?Sparing details I had this happen while I was a kid. I didn't understand much other than an uncle I had grown fond of no longer came around because he said something other people didn't like. For the sake of argument he could have been confused. Misinformed. On the fence and swayed by a single issue. It wasn't fair for me, it isn't fair for the countless number of love ones wrenched away every election cycle. It's sad, really.

Re: What is the most accessible email client for windows 10?
Re: What is the most accessible email client for windows 10? I really need to switch away from gmail's basic HTML interface. Ideally to something that would take the form of a light-weight, privacy friendly, no nonsense client capable of realtime monitoring. I've never actually managed to get Thunderbird running satisfactorily, thank a lack in profile encryption. Something about all my messages... Hell, the key to my entire online identity freely floating around in an easily parsable format is more than slightly unsettling from a security standpoint.

Re: Looking for good Windows music player/podcatcher
Re: Looking for good Windows music player/podcatcher As others have said, Foobar2000 is a good all around solution, probably the most customizable and compact you're going to get.There are plugins for most everything you'd want. From Youtube Support to DSP to commandline decoder wrapping to Discord Rich presence to podcatching.VLC comes with a lot of this out of the box, whereas Foobar is more light-wait and minimalistic by nature. format not supported? Plugin. Want a feature? Plugin for that too.Another plus to Foobar, you can set keyboard shortcuts for basically any action in the app and hide the interface. Nice to be able to play files without a window unnecessarily popping up to tell you that a file is playing.Make sure to grab Classic User Interface for a better all around UI.I set it up once a couple years back and have been using that same configuration ever since. That having been said it's been a good while and I hear VLC has gotten some new features since I last tried it.

Re: Am I really that immature? 1. Jayde is not the boss. Look at our profile's and you'll see the same shining rank.2. As was suspected by Nocturnus and Jayde, I had planned to, but discussions on list plus life simply caused me to forget. I have always, up to this point, remembered to write down punishments I hand out in the topic, if not in their own post I edit the first one. You are more than welcome to take the time and prove me wrong if you like, knock yourself out.3. If I were following my own set of rules and wishes, far less fair, many members posting in this topic would no longer be here. Instead we, as a team, try and do our part to make this forum a better place by adhering to protocol you and everyone else mutually agreed upon. Don't like it? Take your concerns up with me privately. I personally see us as pretty reasonable considering all we're required to deal out. It isn't an easy job, nor is it fun. We all signed up because we genuinely care about the community, not because we enjoy it or are drunk with power and the desire to go rogue.This may indeed be a matter of sarcasm distorted by the language barrier, but that doesn't change the way it came across to us. Please be more cognizant in the future.

Re: Am I really that immature?
Re: Am I really that immature? I would have responded in the other topic, but it had been closed and I don't favor handing out punishment without the opportunity to discuss it in further detail if necessary, especially in this case where I could see the potential for a bit of controversy.Also, for the record, the rules permit warnings from staff members without prior approval. It is this way to speed up the process, just in case you didn't know.

Re: a call to all vapers
Re: a call to all vapers the market is expanding at such a rate that you're bound to find new and better devices that blow what you have out of the water every day. When starting out I'd consider your environment. If you're around folks who don't mind showing you how to grind, pack, and light up then by all means smoke a bowl. If you're in your mothers basement... Stick to smaller vapes.Aside from edibles (which aren't cheap) in my opinion the easiest way of vaping marijuana is probably through a 510 threaded pen / battery and detachable cartridge (tank).Batteries range in price, starting around $10 or $15 for the simplest most generic model and increasing from there when you begin to add features like configurable voltage. Most are circular, about the diameter of a thin marker. You have a USB port for charging on one end and place to attach your cartridges on the other. Cartridges are disposable tanks containing whatever it is you're trying to vape, ordinarily CBD THC or a mixture between the two. Depending on the law in your place of residence, cartridges containing oil or concentrate can be found at dispensaries or the home of your friendly connection. Here in the American midwest, cartridges are pretty popular among dealers due to their simplicity. You can also vape without sending up clouds of smoke, such that others in the room may not even know.Buy a pen, charge with the provided USB, find a cartridge and twist it in the other side, really doesn't get any more complicated than that. I personally recommend beginners start out here, though sometimes it's unfortunately up to your dealer's supply.Dry herb vaporizers, as pointed out in 32, require a bit more preparation when starting out but turn out to be a tad cheaper in the longrun. You'll have to buy the device, vacuum containers if you don't want anyone to be tipped off to your nearby flour and of course actual flour.I haven't yet invested in one of those smart stoner party delights, but my eye has been on one too. If I had $250 to spare you'd better believe I'd be all in. The pax 3 specifically has a little spinner game. You and four friends sit around in a circle and have the unit randomly pick one person. Said person then has to take a hit. Rinse and repeat. Simon probably comes afterword.Friends and I have done puff puff pass with bop it's pass it mode... But that can get dangerous if you're a competitive bastard like myself.

Re: Sad news, roelvdwal passed out This is some terribly sad news. While I didn't know him personally, I do recall talking to him and playing games a time or two back in 2015.More than his projects was the help he gave others. His post history will show a pretty large amount of time passing along knowledge and supporting other aspiring devs, an attribute I find especially admirable.Out of curiosity, how did you come to learn of his passing?Rest in peace.

Re: I have worked at home and here is what i learned. What about you?
Re: I have worked at home and here is what i learned. What about you? TranscribeMe is a similar service and was accessible last I heard. Pay isn't spectacular, $20 / audio hour (an audio hour usually takes about 2 or 3 hours depending on your typing speed, comprehension and of course the clip in question). The way it works can be irritating in that there's a backlog. You log in and basically just... wait until work appears on your dashboard, do the task, and wait for more. If you're already working from home and have extended breaks or time to kill, this may be a good option. Simply visit in the morning and check back periodically. Since the site runs on user requests there will be some days where nothing appears.I've made quite a bit freelancing lately, upwork being my platform of choice due to it's simplicity. While the fact stands that you are required to purchase credits, I find them usually being worth the small amount. Money hungry? Definitely. Let the 20% fee attest to that. Yet the platform seems quite a bit more tolerant to higher pay for higher quality if you can look past the clients demanding the next new Facebook at gross underpayment. As someone in school and looking for a part-time job on the side, I can't complain all that much.When it comes to freelance work, everyone has different experiences with different platforms, so don't hesitate to jump right in. There are hundreds of reviews and suggestions online that, along with a healthy dose of common sense, will serve to help you out. Name a skill and you can probably find jobs. If coding or audio/music production doesn't interest you, maybe voice acting. How about writing or proofreading? Many members of this forum are bilingual if not trilingual, look into language translation. Accessibility Q/A testing is difficult to find, but there if you know where to look. Certifications can really pay off as well.

Re: I Want to be Banned
Re: I Want to be Banned I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned this yet.Make sure your account still links back to you in some way shape or form. Twitter account, email in signature, website, something.Head over to a throwaway mail service, I like temp-mail.orgCopy the address to clipboardChange your account's email from profileGenerate random text. random.org, mad hammering at your keyboard, whatever suits you.Copy to clipboard and reset password using the link found in your temporary emailDo whatcha gotta do, later contacting a mod to get your account info reset. That looks a hell of a lot better than requesting a ban.Note, though, none of us have time to reset email addresses every other day so if you'd like to do this, it had better be for more than a vacation.

Re: My apoligice topic
Re: My apoligice topic @JaydeI was considering putting this on list, but I suppose right here is as good a place as any. Staff protocol gives members of the team the ability to freely give warnings and cautions. It also requires consultation if the community failure clause is to be invoked.What it doesn't do, however, is state the processes required for bans. Seeing this was an undeniable case of rule violation, and seeing as Urh was running on his fourth warning, I didn't see a conversation on list being necessary.I can change this in the future if preferred, but maybe another amendment to the rules is in order?

Re: My apoligice topic
Re: My apoligice topic Moderation:Urh2006, you are being banned for violation of confidentiality by posting a log containing content the original senders wished removed. This would be your fifth warning overall, you've had more than enough time to read and understand the rules. We'll see you back in 90 days.End moderation, read on for personal thoughts and rundown of the now redacted log.Let's clear up a couple things for those who don't have the patience to sift through an outrageously huge log containing 5% chats, the rest pointless noise.TL;DR:There isn't actually anything about urh2006, changing, here whatsoever, in fact much the opposite.The log is 25KB of randomly placed QC games and prompts, with your occasional message mixed in. More than 600 lines in total. I read through it so you don't have to.Urh joins a table, where he's recognized as being someone from this forum who has participated in cloning in the past. The link to the killer is requested, he provides it and is kicked from the table. He sends a report for being pointlessly kicked.Upon joining the table again, the others playing the game convince him that they're AgNet administrators. This is entirely false by the way and I doubt the rest of the staff appreciate being inpersonated.The Jayde impersonator tells him that if he pretends to apologize on here, pasting this log with removal of certain portions, he would get a custom rank of his choosing.This obviously didn't happen, I say again I really don't appreciate being impersonated elsewhere and I'd imagine the same could be said for the team. Regardless, his wish was fulfilled, in the form of a change in rank, for 90 days so I guess he got what he wanted?

Re: I'm leaving for now
Re: I'm leaving for now I also agree, this topic has unhealthily devolved. To me, the fact that we're looking at past decisions and worrying about being banned at the slightest offense rather than what caused Sam to pac his bags and leave should speak for itself.Disagree with our decisions, great. Let's talk about it, somewhere else. Outline your point clearly and concisely as opposed to one-lined potshots.

Re: I'm leaving for now
Re: I'm leaving for now Can we please stop acting is if one bad remark will spell your permanent exile from an already toxic forum you claim not to care about being a part of in the first place? Contrary to what might be seen here it is truly rather difficult to get banned from this place. You've gotta try hard and entirely bypass the rules. I've never once been warned, cautioned, etc. Those who have read my posts know, when dealing with conflict, I normally respond sarcastically. You are able to see, if you look far back enough, mine and Jaydes disagreements. they were civil, yet firm. I wasn't an administrator forever. I just happen to voice my complaints in a way that doesn't go against the rules you all agreed to.I like what Mason did. Even if I don't necessarily agree with his viewpoint he linked to a topic, which is more than can be said for many others.A soft anything goes stance is fine in some environments, but not here IMO. The crowd is sadly changing and if you don't want to see unauthorized forks with little development effort floating around, a harsher stance is necessary.

Sometimes connotation can make just enough of a difference.An example of where this could be useful, I do some freelance work on top of the fun that is high-school life. Aside from software development, I provide accessibility consultation. Those concerned about WCAG guidelines want someone that's familiar with common practices.

Who better than their target audience?As a general rule of thumb I keep blindness out of it, choosing to highlight on academic achievements and prior experience. Landing a job isn't easy, show the dog or cane and 7 times out of 10 you've lessened the employers initial impression. I know people who've filled out countless applications over the span of a year and simply gave up on account of being denied a couple too many times. Hence one of the reasons we're able to fall back on social security or the equivalent in your place of residence.Now assuming blindness is off of your resumé, take the time to tell them you have a visual impairment before waltzing on into their pretty wall of shame.
