No, I think it’s a perfectly reasonable thing to do, my coworkers on the other hand…

You and I have very different opinions on what is a reasonable expectation for our respective teams.

Amazon Prime on my XBox literally doesn’t work without my PiHole. I need to block the ads otherwise nothing plays. My PiHole was recently down for a few days and suddenly we couldn’t finish any of the shows we were on.

Never trust these companies, they want to destroy their own products in the name of profit. Undermine them everywhere you can.

But like…would you please consider SAYING you would like them if they drove their Cybertruck to visit the Titanic?

Do not confuse any of the content you see on Snapchat as news. It is an advertisement. It is a free service and the content is highly competitive, so it must be enticing to pull you in and it has one objective: to generate revenue.

If you want news, you need to find a new platform with different incentives. Lemmy removes the profit incentive, a news website keeps the profit incentive but add transparency.

If you want to keep up with friends and they’re on Snapchat, then by all means use Snapchat, but the idea that you can use it as a platform to keep up with news is delusional.

Literally all of them. Any big company is doing evil things, and I doubt there is an exception to that rule. Shop local, grocery shop at a co-op, eat local, prioritize products you know are actually made in your home country. Most importantly; just buy less. Repair the things you own, take care of them, borrow from friends. Never buy something “surprisingly cheap”.

Honestly, fair, even if his name wasn’t fortran.

I have a coworker who thinks I’m this guy cuz it’s apparently absurd for us to add the 5 most popular dependencies on the planet to our environment and I’m sentencing us to the doom of dependency hell.

You seem to be under the impression that they care about anyone’s safety, rookie mistake. Their job is exclusively to boost consumer confidence in air travel and increase corporate profits.

I think the problem was that half of the movie was a memorial to the victims of the Charles Manson murders and the other half of the movie was about Brad Pitt and DiCaprio, and the two stories had absolutely zero synergy.

The US govt basically has a perfect credit score. They have almost infinite payment history and almost infinite available credit.

Inheritance makes complicated objects that would otherwise be impossible possible, but it only works if you know those objects really well. The problem is people write ridiculously complicated mystery objects in libraries and no one knows what’s going on anymore.

Oh shit I got confused…

In my defense, I’ve never heard of Newcastle until today.

Kind of an odd saying, I’m 100% sure Newcastle uses gas for their grill and not a single fast food place uses charcoal grills. If you brought coal to Newcastle, they would have no use for such a thing.

Yup

I have a coworker with 4 displays, this is for him.

“With modern science, we’re able to see what kind of memes they’re making in the year 2300.”

This will keep happening, no one knows how to make hardened IT infrastructure while also letting 65 year old Suzie in HR stay productive, so we’ll always have loopholes. The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to use fewer cloud services, but obviously that has limits, you can’t cancel your phone plan just because they may get hacked. You could use more encrypted services like Signal where a hacker wouldn’t get anything useful even if they broke in.

I would assume you were misinformed and promptly point you to my previous JavaScript projects to dissuade you of such illusions.

Android is FOSS, but is your phone FOSS?
