And yes, I'm thinking of creating a VPN on the cloud I can then use with a unique virtual machine I can connect through it for each account :p
I kinda doubt that will work. I'm expecting the IP I get from that is going to trigger the, "It's a VPS," alert and I'll be sent to the same device binding routine and won't get to create an unbound account still.
What brought this on?
I want to make a new account to manage the search console shit for a client.
It is demanding I take a photo with qrcode scanner.
So I look up how to create an account without a phone.
Find article that says people who search for this run into this when google has figured out that you're creating more accounts from the same device. It really wants to merge them all together and won't let you do otherwise. So these guys offer phone in the cloud service :p
Propaganda idea:
Straight on view of agent style sunglasses. They have analog clock faces saying 11:59 in the eyes. Across the top they say, "It is later than you think."
This is sandwiched between "Google Watches" in large font.
New conspiracy theory I cooked up:
AI companies are all in a rush to be the ones who can sell the system that is actually able to sift through all this data and track everyone to all the governments of the world. This is actually something AI might do well at. They know it needs massive amounts of power to do it so are in a rush to build giant data centers for "GenAI" (knowing this is bullshit). Once built and running, it'll switch over to basic pattern matching on scale and the hype ends.
2 July 1942 | A Hungarian Jewish girl, Éva Kohn, was born.
In 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Ooop there you go.
By exploding all our weapons in Iran we find ourselves in need of more.
Guess who's going to sell them to us.
That's right. The Trumps.
"An all you can eat corruption buffet."
You know what it sounds to me like?
Like a bunch of commie propagandists straight from Russia tried to put on a "celebration" for America and just plain didn't get it because they don't get us.
"OOooohhhh....let's put on some discussion events where we can tell our lies. They'll love that."

So I gather some of Trump's advisors think he should grant 250 pardons for America's birthday.
If they're smart, and I think they probably are, then they'll realize just the hint it could happen should be enough to get the bribe money flowing. They don't actually have to do it and Trump doesn't need to officially know about it at all.
So I'm going to be painting someone's house and before heading over to have a look I "researched" online how much that service costs these days. Every site seems to basically agree. You can charge flat rate, by the sqr foots, or hourly.
Hourly rates range from like $25-$75 depending on skill.
Footage rates are $3-$6 likewise and also something with more millwork may be on high end of that.
Avg rate of application is 150-300 sqr feet an hour.
Every website I found said exactly this.
DRM-free ebooks are yours to actually own, keep, and read on any of your favourite devices.
Here's a regularly updated list of over 500 online shops that sell DRM-free ebooks, digital comic, magazines, and RPGs. All legit. Mostly indie. All DRM-free! 💜
So Fediverse, last week I was laid off by my employer, Elastic, as part of a wider reorg that made my position redundant. 7% of the global workforce was impacted, so I'm not alone in this 😢
I would appreciate boosts as I'm now looking for my next job. Preferably in community open source, but with the crazy market, a mortage and a baby I appreciate any lead.
I'm a backend engineer with strong #cloudinfrastructure , #devops and #observability skills. I spent the last 5 years working with Golang, but have previous experience with Ruby, Python, PHP and JavaScript (that shows how old I am I guess).
I'm searching remotely from Italy.
Thank you!
".The claim to a universal city is supported in this revolution only by rejecting two thirds of the world and the magnificent heritage of the centuries, and by denying, to the advantage of history, both nature and beaty and by depriving man of the power of passion, doubt, happiness, and imaginative invention--in a word, of his greatness."
- Albert Camus, The Rebel
"The tragedy of this revolution is the tragedy of nihilism---it confounds itself with the drama of contemporary intelligence, which, while claiming to be universal, is only responsible for a series of mutilations to men's minds. Totality is not unity. The state of siege, even when it is extended to the very boundaries of the earth, is not reconciliation. ..."
"She said the agents were trying to force her to sign a form, an agreement that she would take down her Instagram account over a post about the ICE agent Jonathan Ross who killed Good in Minneapolis. The agents accused her of doxxing Ross even though his name had already been publicized in other news outlets. They threatened her with prosecution if she didn’t remove her account."
"But the room is empty except for two wicker chairs, a stamp, and the box the stamp came in. "
"The heat we’re all feeling is from climate change, and being too close to the flames of perdition. We live in a country run by divisive politicians and an incoherent media, and full of people who are increasingly confused and overwhelmed. But if and when Trump finally leaves office, the possibilities for solving the problems he’s created will expand exponentially."

In The Stand there's this drug abuser who survives the superflu. He makes his way around a bit and finds the stuff he needs to survive and is in pretty good shape. Then he finds some drug den and goes nuts.
That chapter ends with, "Nothing of import was lost," or something like that.
It just dawned on me that this could have been King's commentary on his own drug abuse?
