Not everyone has access to the financial education that teaches you how bad this is. I see so many people that don’t actually understand how credit cards work because they “just got one” after signing up for a rewards program (basically, got scammed into signing up).

The alternative isn’t controlling how people use chatbots on their own machines. It’s limiting corporations from profiting off of chatbots that use another person’s likeness.

You don’t need to jump to assuming regulations would have to control what you do on your computer specifically.

If you’re memorizing your password, don’t change it too often because it’ll just confuse you and encourage you to pick easy to remember passwords which are less secure. Change your password if you hear about a hack, or have reason to suspect your password got leaked. Otherwise there’s no need.

If you have a password manager though, go off. Change it as often as you’d like.

(Also 2FA, unique passwords per site, etc etc etc)

A Windows VM running Windows terminal, SSH’d back into the host, obviously.

Honestly I stick with whatever the default is and never had a problem that led me to find anything else.

I have my primary, and my secondary, and my secondary secondary.

Leader/follower works though.

Look at Amazon and their Fire TV platform. It’s just android, with all of the Google stuff stripped out.

Sure, Google may not be getting any money for that, but they are getting more dev time and attention on the open source parts of Android which helps to solidify the base of the OS which helps them.

And Android got popular because it was open and manufacturers could build phones that support it without necessarily needing to involve Google (or at least without needing to certify it or meet strict standards) which let the platform grow significantly. If Google closed it up today it would likely cause a fork in the Android platform ecosystem and you’d end up with “Google Android” on pixel and “Open Android” on all others.

The last update I heard (granted that was weeks ago now) was that the capsule was faulty but still perfectly functional for reentry. They just wanted to do more testing first since reentry would also destroy their opportunity to learn more about what’s wrong.

Its apparently still entirely functional for emergency reentry.

Finding pockets of self sufficiency, or at least ways to prevent falling down to the bottom.

Universal basic income helps this by making sure everyone has at least enough to live on.

Homesteading and community gardens help this by making sure you at least have some basic amount of food available to you.

Building walkable cities helps.this by allowing you to avoid or reduce the expenses of a car.

Building resilient cities that leverage adaptive reuse help this by making it cheaper to start new small community businesses that keep money local.

The solutions aren’t in the system of money we choose, it’s in building small sustainable ways to provide for basic needs, even in a small way.

I think it was med students who use controllers to control flash card decks for studying.

Also as PowerPoint remotes.

Eh. If it’s an old US bill it might come out a bit more ragged and fragile, but it won’t destroy the money or your laundry.

Do it enough and the money would disintegrate, but a single wash won’t be a problem, just plan on being gentle when you extract it just in case.

Trading at all by Congress. They should be required to lock their money in a blind trust with heavy oversight. If a CEO has to publish their stock sales months in advance, congresspeople should too.

Cool. Now I can subtly influence you to pay for your free use MILF porn. Or use MILF models in your ads to make you more likely to buy shit.

Even if you don’t think you can be influenced by that stuff it still likely to change your behaviour just enough, even just 5% more spending which makes it worthwhile to them.

But honestly your data barely matters on its own. But once it’s merged with everyone else’s…that’s when it’s valuable.

Maybe maybe MAYBE for a prosumer desktop situation it’s less necessary than it used to be. But it’s absolutely still needed, your friend is dumb and reckless with their data.

Drives fail all the time, not just sectors.

Two and a half monitors here. Two connected to my desktop (one normal one vertical) and my laptop below them.

My laptop is for Teams calls, and the occasional reference page or video, but is mostly ignored until I need it. The main large monitor for editors and email. The vertical one for references and notes.

I would love a third monitor for the desktop but my desk is too narrow for that to be realistic.

Cool. Now all of Google Drive is blocked because one guy hosted a movie there for a few days.

Is it supposed to be salted? Is there already enough salt for how that dish is supposed to be? How dare you assume you know better than the chef!!

To take this further, if the office mailroom is the router, opening a port is like telling them “we just hired Jeff, so accept mail with ATTN Jeff” and closing a port is like “we just fired Sam, burn all mail addressed to Sam”.

I rarely sit when waiting for a plane (at least not for maybe an hour before). I’m about to sit for hours, so I don’t want to start now.

I wonder if it has to do with the specific traits they are commenting on. Do you value being different? Maybe compliments make you feel like you’re fitting in and insults tell you that you’re your own person.

Anyway, fuck you, have a nice day asshole :)
