I suspect he's talking about giving the police carte blanche, not anyone else.

It took me a moment to notice those weren't specifically security terms...

I once bought a replacement face off eBay for 20eur. It's probably as cheap as the glass equivalent.

I always forget VS Code is a different thing to VS.

Don't scare me like that.

One time the company big boss did a speech telling us how we could all learn a thing or two from his protégé, and clapped him on the shoulder.

If big boss had spent more time in the office, he'd have known that Mr Protégé spent most of his working hours playing ping-pong with Big Boss's trophy-wife.

I suspect the rise of the dual-income family (often as a matter of necessity) has had a massive influence on this.

In addition to the absurd increases in cost of living etc.

  • Browser-space technician.
  • Microsoft painter-decorator.
  • Inferior decorator.
  • He-who-responds (on the bugs channel).
  • Scope denier.

If it's the same amount every day (roughly), it's probably trying to install an update over and over and failing.

Slight variations from other usual IoT spyware behaviour and update version sizes changing between minor versions.

I'm not doing maths to keep it at 18 each year.

I do 1900 lol

Well now what is dogecoin backed by?

Surely it loses all value now doge herself is dead?

Journalists were "shooed" away by "handlers"?

Thats seems unrealistic or maybe euphemistic.

What the hell kind of journo allows themselves to be shooed away? Apart from pet ones I guess.

The absolute lack of any kind of consistency with layout or alignment makes me cringe too.

It's just shows how they're just glued onto the page with no care or planning. Especially no consideration to the user or user experience.

I guess it depends on if the nose grows with untrue information, or lies.

Because if it's lies all he needs to do is THINK it's the truth and his nose won't grow.

If his nose grows because the information is not true, then this is one hell of a power. You could get him to theorise on the meaning of life.

I for one welcome... blah blah

Yeah this is scary and honestly why I'm super careful what I put online. Well, mostly.

There are professional social media checkers who will find your hidden/locked social media (and Reddit etc).

They get hired by recruitment agencies or companies who are hiring.

And on the surface it could be to check no one is a secret nazi/chauvanist etc

But I bet there's secondary data about political leanings or how "appropriate" your friends are.

Or if you're willing to be a part of the old boy's club (coke and strippers is fine for execs, but you can't have a nephew who is in a labor union etc).

I didn't say I was going to do maths for you either ;)

We're riding this wave over in the Total War community too. Broken game, weak and overpriced DLC.

We kicked off (and then all their other games managed to flop at once, so they came crawling back) and now we've got a notable amount more effort into the DLC coming at the end of the month, as well as price cuts, refunds and redoing of the bad DLC.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but I'm seeing positive movements in general on legacy resting-on-laurels games.

It's not a condition.

It's a word someone made up to shame people into going against their best interests.

I suspect China is ramping up operations around disputed territories, because of the world's attention being focused elsewhere.

Just a reminder that the Tidal family account at the maximum subscription "grade" costs €16.

So you and 4x buddies can get very high quality audio for €3.20/mth.

BlackRock is leftist? It's a nightmare built from unrestrained neoliberalism!

That seems weirdly concise for him (to have typed). I wonder if he's got some publicist taking dictation.

"instead of negotiating"

For some. For others, it's the other.

For some, both.

Yeah.

Do you mean "programmers" by developers?

Or do you mean "the people who are involved in the development of the app"?

Because the money & marketing people are the ones who want trackers.

But they are usually such a high prio for the app that it's put them in or get fired.

I don't think we know the details (beyond the blood test) because it's privileged medical information.

She identifies as a cis female though (and was assigned Female at birth)

There's a great "Behind the Bastards" podcast that dives into it.

The episode name is "how the rich ate Christianity".

If you'd prefer to read, they list all their sources in the episode notes.

No, but he can scare off anyone else from making him look bad.

It's expensive and scary to get hit with a lawsuit like this.

And for a reasonable price, the AI corporations will sell you the chance to survive in the world they created for you.

E-commerce isn't as much of a monopoly as "reddit-style social media".

Technically anyone has the ability to open an eshop and sell whatever they want (provided they follow the appropriate sales/tax laws etc).

It's just that people don't like to buy from no-name shops online, as reputations give a level of accountability.

I imagine a lot of people got their credit card details stolen when the first eshops appeared.

While you are employed as... "Beach"?

This is WHY Russia is posturing with nukes. Give us what we want or nuclear violence.

Noel Sumk is literally saying to listen to the terrorist/bully because they are making crazy threats.

"leaving the housing market" is a neat innuendo lol.

It happened where they knew you wouldn't see them.

Unfortunately, there were no survivors.

Punching down is the problem.

Also the whole "my brother is an asshole but if you call him that I'll punch you" thing.

If he was making jokes about a community he was involved with at all, great. If it was a trans comedian making these jokes, (probably) great.

But this is just another old out-of-touch rich guy making fun about people who are already having a shitty time (on average).

Also, notice how anyone has yet to actually forbid him from doing it. He's not being "cancelled/consequenced".

A lot of people just find it extremely distasteful. (It hasn't slowed him down in the slightest.)

Come up with the money or secure a bond within 30 days

Or what? Does anyone think he's actually going to pay?

He's going to Alex Jones it at worst, and at best do the same but smarter.

It's a "state police open up-er"

Also, inflation.

There's plugins that will do it for you (with the max privacy settings so you don't have to worry about getting tricked by phrasing).

I even have one on my mobile browser.
