I don't currently own a @frameworkcomputer, but it's stuff like this that's making it feel like I will sooner rather than later. The ability to just change the laptop hardware configuration after the fact is unmatched by literally anybody.

Working on something special....

Just reported a #YouTube side-pane ad for a "seductive" see-through swimsuit. We'll see how long it takes for Google to not take it down.

Why don't we have standard Terms of Service that are used and reused everywhere?
I'm imagining a small number of flavors of ToS, not owned by the service providers that have us click through, but owned by trusted nonprofits and public service agencies and reused by service providers.

I'm thinking of Creative Commons-like agreements, but business agreements about providing a service, not just about licensing creative works.

Then, have the company that's implementing it customize the ToS by filling in a few fields at the start: their corporate name and address, how to contact their ombudsman, list of officers, something like that.

Interesting, the terms of use that #Respondus #LockDownBrowser shows you before a test is different from the one on their website. The website one is last updated on January 2022, and the one that LockDown Browser shows you is March 2024. Notably the latest one has an #arbitration section and the older one doesn't.

Second time trying to set up a Matrix chat server, and geez what a bad experience. The job isn't done until documentation is written.... Maybe I somehow missed their server documentation? I couldn't find any documentation for setting up a server, on https://matrix.org/. Maybe they don't have an implementation. I thought they made Synapse.
