Yeah, my boss expects that. He’s been at the same company for almost 20 years, since the department was created.

He also gave me a 3% raise this year. It’s nice to get cost of living, but why would I try to invest in a workplace where I know I’ll be able to make more and more elsewhere every year.

Hey, I’d just use VPN anyways. I sure as shit didn’t trust spectrum not to sell my data.

Because Facebook is the posterchild for anticompetitive evil corporations.

They’re doing this because it will help them monopolize more content or more users. By nature, that will be harmful to the fediverse.

I don’t know about the underlying technology, but every client I’ve used for the past couple decades supported groups.

However, they absolutely sucked. There was no way to leave. Unless someone made a new group without you and everyone used that, you’d keep getting messages.

It is, but android Roms with good privacy features are relatively few and far between.

Iirc it was mostly a stupid driver with improper tires on terrain that didn’t quite look as bad as it actually was.

The cybertruck doesn’t have differentials at all, so it shouldn’t need locking diff’s.

The entire point of having differentials is to make sure the power from the engine isn’t being misdirected to a wheel with no traction, but the cybertruck has independent motors for each wheel.

Yes. We shoot people for accelerating from a stoplight too fast here.

Honestly I just keep mine on airplane mode. Calibre was always a much better management tool, and libgen isn’t nearly as creepy.

I don’t know about stigma, but the whole family is just vaguely dysfunctional. We can’t really spend any time together for more than a couple of hours before someone starts a fight, generally (but not always) on accident.

I can’t listen to it right now, but the issue with characters like Aunt Jemima is that they were just racist stereotypes given a name and slapped on a box.

I think a good analogy for this situation would be a themed chain where an AI pretends to be a comedic racist caricature.

I don’t think any human has sent an SMS message deliberately for about 12 years!

The car I’m interested in holds its value very well, so the lifetime cost is lower if I buy new. I’m also planning on being slightly less poor before buying it.

And regarding the “fired at will” thing, we don’t deal with it. We just kind of hope. I’m a little bit tistic, so I’ve been fired several times for not engaging in the proper amount of small talk. You get another job and move on.

I disagree. IE was incredibly proprietary, and SMS is at least an open standard.

IE is…idk Facebook messenger or Imessage or something.
