Why does everyone make such a fuss about privacy?

In the context of VPNs for example. Some VPNs store and provide information about what sites you go to third parties. Third parties analyze it and figure out what adds to show you. Hmm… then let them show me those adds they want to show me. I do hate adds as a whole and use an add blocker, thus. But I couldn’t care less what...

Lowered_lifted,

Your data can and will be used against you, by people who want to exploit you. Owning your data is protecting your assets.

Lowered_lifted,

LMAO they really answered one of those password reset answer phishing ass quizzes? Lucky for you they were not sending their best.

Lowered_lifted,

I don’t get the joke. Wouldn’t you need to study the architecture of the alien CPU to see what registers it uses if any and where data goes, and what format the data is expressed in (is it even binary?) so you can write an assembly language for it? Then you would need to write a compiler and then you could get a higher level language going and port Doom. Are we assuming that the alien computer just runs our code?

Lowered_lifted,

I do not dream of labor. Ten years from now I hope I am building apocalypse resistant shelters with my affinity group, growing my own food and filtering my own water, and growing cannabis for trade.

Lowered_lifted,

I was using Jerboa and Thunder when Jerboa got buggy but this thread turned me on to Voyager which seems to work best amongst them, although I don’t love the theme.

Lowered_lifted,

There was a big thread about it where I got a lot of hate for saying that I was amused that sync users wanted to pay for no ads, when there are so many free apps. The consensus amongst sync enjoyers seems to be that they are so used to the UI that it is like muscle memory, which is a decent excuse I guess. I’m pretty sure that’s why people still use Adobe products, for example.

Whole Foods argues it can ban BLM masks because the Supreme Court let a Christian business owner refuse same-sex couples (fortune.com)

Amazon.com’s Whole Foods Market doesn’t want to be forced to let workers wear “Black Lives Matter” masks and is pointing to the recent US Supreme Court ruling permitting a business owner to refuse services to same-sex couples to get federal regulators to back off....

Lowered_lifted,

When I worked at a big box store for years I wasn’t allowed to wear my BLM shirt or anything “political” but my Trumper coworkers got away with wearing their Trump shirts or Let’s Go Brandon shirts, and they even put Let’s Go Brandon stickers up all aroubd the employee facing areas. If you told managers about it they addressed it as a dress code violation and regarded you as a snitch.

Lowered_lifted,

Interesting that pride stuff is considered political because my shitty mega corporate big box employer considered a BLM shirt political but let us wear our pride pins whenever because that was within the dress code

Lowered_lifted,

It’s not actually a problematic political stance to state that Black Lives Matter, it’s unambiguously good, whereas the other things you mention are hate speech, hope that helps.

Lowered_lifted,

That idea has no bearing on reality, you likely support many businesses owned by right wing assholes indirectly just by living somewhere that doesn’t use 100% renewable energy for all of its power needs, for example, and so do I, you can’t really help it. Corporations are people under US law and they have been doing political speech under that regime in the form of unlimited spending for over a decade. If Amazon actually believes that black lives matter they should indeed say it. False neutrality and saying that black lives matter is too political a stance for them to want to take is a stance in itself.

Lowered_lifted,

I actually had to talk to the boss and tell him that this manager’s motherfucking confederate flag hat made me uncomfortable, like he was a floor manager who wore the stars and bars every day, in a western state that didn’t exist during the civil war… and they didn’t say anything to him until a customer complained. He wore that shit for like a month. The good ol boy’s club is unreal

Lowered_lifted,

Not at all what they’re saying. It’s about the employee’s speech in a work context not official policy.

Lowered_lifted,

Idk if you’ve ever worked a shitty oppressive “essential” job during the peak of a pandemic because you couldn’t afford to quit, & the US unemployment system doesn’t pay out if you get fired for a cause dress code violations, so I had to not wear it in order to stay employed. I hope you understand, random who is casting aspersions on me and blaming me for the oppression and double standard and my workplace taking a racist political position, that I just described.

Lowered_lifted,

Like fuck you very much for implying that I don’t believe black lives matter? When I literally just described the repression of political speech in the workplace I faced?

Lowered_lifted,

Would get the Mac mini and upgrade the ram instead

Table salt offers a safe, inexpensive and reusable pathway to recovering useful products from plastic waste (phys.org)

Muhammad Rabnawaz, an associate professor in Michigan State University’s School of Packaging and recent inductee into the National Academy of Inventors, has always believed that the most brilliant solution is also the simplest....

Lowered_lifted,

Making landfill mining profitable needs to happen for capitalists to want to do it so I guess this is good for now

Lowered_lifted,

Doesn’t work for a lot of sites unfortunately

Lowered_lifted, (edited )

Those were rough days. I started with Dapper Drake but there was no way to actually get my trackpad drivers until 8.04. Kudos for sticking with linux

Lowered_lifted,

It’s such a trash game mechanic because it forces realism where there is none. You have faster than light travel in your game? Why don’t you have teleporters? You have magic in your game? Why don’t you have a Bag of Holding? If you are going to impose the constraint on the player for balance or gameplay reasons then at least make it fun, have a mechanic that is interesting in some way. Maybe teleporters and bags of Holding are expensive to build or don’t get unlocked until you collect 10 flippityboos but at least reward progression and picking up objects and don’t turn every decision into agony.

Lowered_lifted,

RuneScape did it pretty well for sure yeah I always felt like there was a good level progression for items like at level 60 in old school bronze items were just straight up trash lol

Lowered_lifted,

Good article. The crimes that were done against black communities to make the white boomer lifestyle possible need to be laid out, even if nobody who did this saw accountability during their lifetimes, reparations should be made. Within my parent’s lifetimes, apartheid was the law in the USA. We haven’t even begun to truly account for what happened.

Lowered_lifted,

I am wondering if any of the knockoff brand enameled Dutch ovens are as good as the Le Creuset one because I tried my aunt’s once and it was pretty good but I can’t afford that.

Lowered_lifted,

You don’t mess with women, but you especially don’t mess with women in stairwells! Dude needs to get the Tony Soprano treatment.

Lowered_lifted,

Keep crying and shitting your diaper over the fact that “men’s liberation” is cucked bullshit and the fact that y’all should just be feminists.

Lowered_lifted,

Cope and seethe, moron.
