It was a holdover from apartheid

Knowing that the department of home affairs was involved, I'm shocked this was resolved so quickly.

Reminds me of when Ted Cruz twitter liked incest porn on 9/11 memorial day

they've got all the telemetry to infer what you're doing and what your screen looks like

But for some reason, they still need to screenshot dudes fucking up excel spreadsheets and lowballing people on Facebook marketplace for 8 hours

Telemetry is such a sinister term.

Can I make notes of what you're doing from a distance?

According to the report, neither child consumed the drugs; the pills were promptly sent to a state laboratory for further confirmation.

thank fuck he was way too stupid to crush it up

They don't mention the ages, but those kids could have died.

Even still, I cannot imagine the horror of MDMA+Coke comedown through the eyes of a child.

Fucking psycho.

Thank you!

That's exactly what I wanted.

Lets say they don't use private data for training

(Continue reading when you're done laughing):

Eventually, victims eventually run out of "free" storage.

The humble corporation will do a bunch of psychologically unethical tricks to basically hypnotize users into forking over those three digits at the back of the family credit card.

Now the victim's data is effectively held ransom. Keep paying or lose it.

But they won't stop paying. They paid for a year's plan at a discount and the peaceful megacorp conveniently hit autorenew for them at checkout.

12 months roll around and oopsie, they already have the money. They could go through the refund process, but they've got shit on their plate, might as well keep it for another year.

I could keep rambling, but on Lemmy, I'm probably preaching to the choir about the first verse of genesis.

"the pre-owned volvo of tourist@lemmy.word" is not as catchy as "The Ship of Theseus"

I burned a few CDs and put one of them in my car's CD player

It worked but I got hit with "tray error" when I tried ejecting it.

It's been stuck in there since april

Is there a difference between self censoring and "having a filter"?

Like, I usually don't say the first thought that comes to mind.

I have to think, often unconsciously like you mentioned, will the next thing I say:

  • be stupid (protect my ego)
  • be rude (preserving the dignity of others)
  • be incriminating (will I get into shit if an authority figure reads/hears it)

I guess self censorship is just that last one? If something I say can later be reprimanded by the law, my boss, or even a moderator, I'd rather just shut the fuck up.

my brother and his friends graduated with (3 year) degrees in CS and can't land any jobs

I wouldn't really call myself a distro hopper, but in the last few months I've had to do some fresh installs on a couple of machines and VMs for work

If these aren't included by default, I'll make sure to get em:

GUI:

  • Firefox & Chromium
  • Gimp & Krita
  • VSCode/VSCodium
  • Okular
  • Libre office

CLI*:

  • git
  • wget&curl
  • neovim
  • zsh/ohmyzsh + plugins
  • glow
  • neofetch
  • figlet/toilet
  • zellij
  • python
  • nodejs/npm/nvm + nodemon globally
  • ranger/rifle

Also, how do you go about migrating your old config and rc files? Start fresh or just copy em over and make adjustments where necessary?

 
 
 

I've always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me.

Curious to see if there's a terminal someone swears by and refuses to use anything else.

 

Never heard any follow ups on the taste thing, so I need answers

4 years since 2020. Time really flies when a catastrophic global event hits you in the face
