Geez $100 USD/mo. Sure maybe if you are a super heavy user but that’s rough.

When someone has a vested interest in the answer to a given question they are no longer a reliable source. We collectively need to stop giving a shit about celebrities and capitalists opinions.

Uhh… I did most things in the hospital before my wife gave birth. The nurses were simply too busy so I started helping with the small stuff and then they said ohh thanks when I’d adjust the baby heart monitor and other sensors that randonlu went off. I of course made sure it was ok with them.

I’ve flown twice this week and fly pretty much monthly to the USA. This was happening 2 years ago. Some sketchy plain clothes guy holding an iPhone as I board the plane with a badge that says FBI has taken my picture a few times. But lately there are small iPad type things next to the boarding counter coming back to Canada. You simply look at it and it verifies you.

Also… Our Canadian passports have our picture digitally embedded in chip that they read at the border to verify your identity. Better believe that is copied and stored along with your biometrics

Clearly you’ve not heard the new Ben Mulroney am radio show…

Clearly you are not the target audience. For IT pros and tech enthusiasts regularly rebuilding machines and running numerous diagnostic tools from boot, the ability to quickly bootstrap a machines is a massive timesaver. dd is slower and may mean carrying around a lot of usb sticks, something these people all graduated from.

Did you get that thing I sent ya?

Likely true, yes.

X86 configs were painful and fun. Knowing a wrong setting might destroy your monitor was the right amount of adrenaline.

Sorry for the shitty experience and for my comment.

Wheat and dairy and egg allergy. Fuck them all.

Stop FUCKING giving social media access to your entire life.

Advertising and the stock market. Two evil controlling systems that systematically abuse humans daily. Fired, stock market. Some random dude got some absurd promotion to tank the company and ruin people’s lives - stock market. Forced to watch advertising every fucking where you go… Ohh sorry someone needs to do that to make money so fuck you.

Lawn chair is decent.

The incel chuds out there redistributing and shaming the target is something I wish would be dealt with in the mainstream. It’s disgusting that we’re regressing as a society allowing for bullying to continue.

Politics now exists to feed a base of social influencers with bullshit to magnify over the social media megaphone. The amount of disinformation that is regurgitated daily is unmanageable. So what do logical thinkers do… Disconnect. It’s not worth correcting everyone we come in contact with. But alas we’re also losing the war because there more it is regurgitated the more it is taken as fact.

The other thing is there is a circlejerk of funding keeping the machine running and the hateful right wingers spend money to feel the machine. Left/centererists tend to be suspicious and want detailed analytics and analysis before trusting.

Plus… A good conspiracy can be fun and empowering, like good gossip it feels good to be on the inside. Deep analysis is boring and rarely rewarding.

We’re fucked.

Overseas devs have had the random screenshot to prove productivity happening for a while now. There’s a hundred ways around it. Most common is a second computer next to you dev machine.
