It’s even worse today. The amount of interconnected systems we have in play would be absolutely chaos to try and separate.

We didn’t have to worry about power grids, networking, food was FAR more local, it would take years to try to isolate yourself from it all on a statewide scale.

Reminds me of the door knockers who got paid to shill some libertarian a while back. So Many reports of people with absolutely no motivation, reading the scripts, and sometimes even leaving with a vote for bernie.

So what is the point of an email client? I’ve only ever really used web pages because it did everything I need.

Honestly the flaws I have the biggest complaints about is the God awful UI.

Incorrect tool tips, no drag and drop, no ui for city connectivity, no renaming cities, disappearing entities.

It’s genuinely painful at times.

I mean, the ages thing grew on me. It was way too common in other civs to just snowball early and dominate the rest. Any modern civilization was just bad, because by the time they got online it was over.

It’s trivial to verify. Slap 20 bucks on the table and say “20 bucks you can’t list a location with a litterbox for furries”

“talks to lots and lots of parents and teachers” and “the media won’t report on it”.

Ain’t gonna get you 20 bucks. Need a location. If you get a location, call 'em. They’ll confirm or deny. (They’re gonna deny)

It’s constantly evolving. New communities are getting constantly added, and new servers spun up for different reasons and ethos’ are being spun up every day.

I for one cheer and root for my flip phone friends.

I’d never do it, but we have one at work and he’s singlehandedly causing so much grief at work. Because none of the engineers wanna use a security app for login. They want a fob.

IT refuses to pay for fobs and wants us to use an app, but they also don’t want to pay for a phone for anyone in engineering just to use the security app because it opens a floodgate of people with company phones.

It’s just wonderful to watch this fight from the sidelines sipping tea.

Like seriously, if there was ever a time to do a concerted push for linux, it’s now. Start the campaigns, start the tutorials start the memes and the warnings and get the process down to under an hour. It won’t be a weird thing, it will be the lord and savior allowing your PC to continue even when windows says it can’t.

Is there even a point to which one you pick? I just picked .kbin because I liked the UI, and when that fell apart I moved to .world mostly at random.

Is there really a large difference between them?

I’m not really ON facebook. But way too many of my friends use it as a way to send invites to events. I literally just pop in every other week to check notifications and see if anybody invited me to anything. It’s kind of infuriating how no other method makes it so easy to just invite 20 people somewhere.

The fediverse doesn’t have a decent calendar/invite solution does it?

Yeah, both ties are too high, definitely prefer the bow tie though.

You don’t share food if you’re starving. You don’t share time if you work 12 hour days, every day.

If you spend all your energy on survival, you got no energy to spare on anyone else. I bet our hypothetical starving person would be moral and share, if they had the chance and materials.

If they don’t… then it’s not a matter of won’t it’s can’t. People are more likely to share food they have excess of, time they have excess of. If they can’t spare it, they won’t.

So what, then bribes and intimidation just… aren’t actually effective ways of bending morals?

I gotta say I have 0 papers backing me, but I feel like the fact that the very concepts are words in the English language carries some weight.

… How much are you willing to overlook to keep yourself from going homeless?

There just ain’t enough protection for whistleblowers right now.

I’m not. What do you get as a reward for blowing the whistle? Genuinely?

1. There’s no bounty, even if there was you wouldn’t get it for at least a year after you blow the whistle.

2. Once it’s discovered it’s you, you’re fired. There goes your paycheck, your health insurance. Now your home is in jeopardy and you have no decent income verification to get a new one.

3. Good luck working in any job even remotely related to what you know. You now have a stigma in any background check and while a privately owned mom & pop might look at you favorably, there ain’t a single corporation who will take pride in hiring you. You’re risky.

The most ethical person, is one with no debt, who owns their home, and has 8 months expenses saved up. That’s not most Americans right now.

On the bright side, centrists are getting split between Biden and Kamala.

Let them bicker amongst themselves for once. The rest of us can unite for once.

… Ok well here’s the link to the moment (in the video you watched) where we have one **staff ** member giving an official response to how LTT interpreted the problem in a forum post on their website.

And here’s a link to their youtube channel where they talk about honey

https://www.youtube.com/@LinusTechTips/search?query=honey

You’ll notice. There isn’t one.

So for at least two years, they knew honey was stealing affiliate links and considered it a big enough problem to end their partnership, but did not consider it a big enough issue to make a video on it.

I think what was truly surprising is that they were bought for 4 billion.That much money for… basically an out and out scam. Paypal is that sure that it’s:

1. entirely legal

2. Will never be stopped

3. will return on a 4 billion investment.

seriously… did you watch the video?

Here. Here’s a link to the exact moment that entire chapter starts.
