Can't usually make the LIVE show on Wednesday? This week, it's a day early on TUESDAY, at 10am Pacific. Come join the fun, ask anything you want, and maybe learn some new photo and video tips! https://jal.bz/2OtScX0

oh you're killing me! 😂 That's the time my livestream is at! I guess I could move mine an hour earlier or something

I’m not really a TikTok user, but I have discovered a few accounts that are worth following. Since I don’t want to install TikTok under any circumstances and I don’t want to visit the website manually, I built myself a TikTok JSON Feed generator. This tool consists of only a few lines of JavaScript and uses the library tiktok-scraper. Now I can follow TikTok-ers and see new posts in Miniflux. I hope that TikTok will not block my server.

Nice, never even thought to try this!

Hey @Linode why do you have so many ad trackers on your *login* domain? Of all places that's where you want to use as little 3rd party JS as possible!

Visiting login.linode.com loads trackers from Facebook, Doubleclick, Impact Radius, Oktopost, Linkedin, Google Ads, Bing

(btw I have some other security concerns with your login flow too, happy to follow up with this privately)

That’s surprising and concerning. Was considering it for a website (due to its attractive pricing)...

It's very strange. I've been using them for 10+ years and have been extremely happy with the service, so this is confusing to me.

@aaronpk My understanding is that's a legacy subdomain and they want people to log in via cloud.linode.com now?

cloud.linode.com uses login.linode.com for its login.

It is funny to me how Twitter just posts merrily about their "new API" like it's the hot new thing when they've systematically burned bridges with every app developer after ruining a flourishing API ecosystem a few years ago

"funny"

Can't wait to see how much they're gonna charge for it when they actually launch it 🙄

If you're looking at new camera announcements and just reacting to the K count, you're not looking hard enough.
Honestly this kills me about camera discourse. The K-war isn't what actually matters. There is no "perfect resolution" and if you took "12K" from the BMD announcement

Totally. tbh it reminds me of the megapixel wars of digital cameras 20 years ago.

I thought it was a good thing to owe taxes instead of having some refunded or paying early? Essentially, avoiding giving the government a free loan or money early that could be invested.

Not a tax guy so I may have misunderstood.

technically the IRS doesn't want you to have to owe a chunk at tax time, which is why you're supposed to file quarterly. but also yes it's a "good" thing in that owing means you didn't loan your money at 0% to the IRS for the year.

Or just pay quarterly taxes if you prefer to do it that way.

or both, then enjoy a nice refund check next year instead!

I don’t know if I can do that with my current employeer easily.

Taking the kick in the teeth all at once is probably the road of least resistance 😅

(this is me speaking from experience of having just written a *very* large check to the IRS last week oops)

The number of people who I know that are preparing for like end day scenarios keeps rising, lol. Like I got invited to learn more about ham radio systems (which I am kinda interested in) and some other stuff. The other stuff is what’s throwing me off.

I totally understand that many people can’t afford to buy every app they want, but my god WHAT is it with people complaining when an app costs money?! Do people think that developers write code for their own personal enjoyment? That software companies should somehow self fund? 🤯

for real! It's like people think because it's not a physical item it shouldn't cost anything.

Hi Aaron, thanks for writing in. We'll look into this. Would you mind sharing your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS)? Also, is it happening with all the clips or it's random? Let us know, we're here to help. ^NK

Razer Blade Stealth 13, i7-1065G7 CPU, GeForce 1650, 16GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro. I haven't pinpointed how to trigger it, but once the problem starts, the entire timeline plays back 1/2 speed everywhere.
