The earphone community here recommended earfun to me. A couple years ago I picked up a pair of Air Pro buds, about $80. They’ve been great.

Monday doesn’t bother me. I like what I do, if I didn’t, I’d be looking for something else.

Everywhere you go will have it’s share of shit to deal with, because people.

Early in my career a boss said “If I have 3 people working for me, I have 9 problems to deal with”.

Society is the challenge with work, which is why big companies focus on team building. Us technical types tend to be rather oblivious to it (or downright adversarial), so his leadership made a big impact for me. I’m grateful to that.

I honestly have no idea what point OP is trying to make.

And it’s been escalated with AI

I saw this in minutes after a conversation in a car with 2 people, 2 phones.

And it was for a subject which was waaaaay out in left field for us both, something neither of us had ever even thought about before.

The only part you missed was the traitor Nader telling the Saudis to embargo to get weapons.

Wtf is “hate speech”?

A: whatever those in control decide it is, used as a means of suppressing dissent.

Just think about that for a bit. What if I controlled Bluesky and decided your description of “toxicity” was hate speech?

Hahaha, they’re just now noticing? Rich.

And how will Bkuesky be any different? It won’t.

Right.

Because databases are never “hacked” and exfiltrated.

(By hacked, I mean most of the time it’s social engineering.)

It runs fine for me on Android 13

Monolithic OS. Plus being Immutable.

Immutable makes sense for a mobile device where you need a guaranteed way to ensure it functions as designed.

The rest is because phone manufacturers and Google (and Microsoft, et al) forsee a future where you don’t control your OS, so they then control everything.

I’ve used Picsay for probably 10 years. My phone says it’s the pro version, guess I paid for it at some point, and I must just copy it from phone to phone.

Can’t seem to find it on Play, but it’s on ApkPure

I’m pretty sure the free version didn’t have ads.

And their bullshit excuse for dropping SMS support.

“It was too expensive from an engineering standpoint”. Nonsense, Android handled it, your app merely reads and writes to the SMS database via an API.

Or are you telling me the free SMS apps like Handcent, QuickSMS, etc, had a massive engineering team?

This is when I stopped using Signal, when this lie was so blatant, I can no longer trust them.

Add on to that, their bullshit excuse for dropping SMS support.

Yep, following food.

Or, it wasn’t as harsh when they first appeared. I mean there was the Little Ice Age in Shakespeare’s time, where the Thames froze over. If you took that as a sign it was becoming permanently like that in London, what would you do? It’s not like you have somewhere else to go that you know it’s better (or hell, where anything is).

People in the 20th century easily forget how little knowledge the average person had even 100 years ago. Hell, even the information the wealthy had. Just a couple hundred years ago a globe of the earth was practically priceless. They were still a luxury in the early 20th century.

All risk, no reward.

No, it doesn’t imply anything, you’re inferring.

Definitions are written to be clear. Anything beyond that is the reader’s inference.

It also doesn’t say permanent.

Some people like to suffer.

I’ll go a long way to reduce my data exposure, but ffs, Windows and Office are the standard worldwide, for a reason. It’s just naive and foolish to fight this battle while you have enough pressure and time limits as it is.

And I run multiple Linux-based systems in my home lab, but my laptop is windows, because “ain’t nobody got time for that”, as Sweet Brown would say.

Microsoft published that script to Github.

Calling it piracy to use their openly published script is… I don’t know, incorrect?

Or have incessant meetings with Senior management or Business Unit leadership to keep them in the loop or even constrain their unrealistic expectations.
