Honestly if you do truly value having control over your privacy take this advice to heart. There are so many good Linux options now that are even easier than Windows to install. All it takes is a few clicks. You can even choose which UI you prefer in many cases. All those previous barriers to entry no longer exist.
And gives middle managers another way to misinterpret sh1t they don’t understand.
I don’t think it’s possible to agree more with this. This would be the strongest fodder for the existence of pure evil if one were to argue that position.
Agreed on all of that. As I understand it, periods of better worker markets make for less of that nonsense people are willing endure. I’ve seen a recent trend of corporations turning up the BS because the job market has been tightening up and people are less willing to take risks.
Fair! I intended to have it in the original post but it didn’t take. Likely my error.
I guess the shame and expense Sony learned the hard way in 2005 has faded and now kernel invasion has become acceptable.
We had a CVS Pharmacy location near me that decided to leave that location. Self checkout there was based on assuming everyone was a thief. All their wounds were self inflicted. Almost everything was locked up and you could never find someone to get your item for you. The genius management thought it was going to help profitability by deterring theft. Instead it was a deterrent to willing and eager customers wanting to buy their stuff. When you step over a dollar to get to a dime, your business is on borrowed time.
I heard Texas has a ballot initiative to change the state’s name to Republic of Gilead
I’m just of the general opinion that any personal data you entrust to any corporation is going to be at risk - regardless of it’s assurances. There’s also a risk of that corporation being legitimately acquired by another thus nullifying previous TOS, etc. Or worse case, they sell all your info anyway. Connected technology is moving quickly. What might seem safe to share today could become the basis of an insurance claim denial when they discover a genetic predisposition they believe you were obligated to disclose.
Would be interesting to see a gui that maximizes the content based on rotation if that were even possible
There’s an old saying in Tennessee - I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once Darlene, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.
Might be about time for testers to start cr4pping their pants tho.
I’ve seen some interesting thoughts on TDD with fail, pass, refactor assumptions. I’m curious if anyone here is writing functional code in order to then make a failing functional test pass i.e. BDD / ATDD. This follows similar logic without the refactor assumption. I’ve seen strong opinions on every side as far as this is concerned. On a team with Dev and QA competencies, I’ve heard a number of devs glad to get QA out of the bottleneck and put their knowledge to better use.
Well by another definition they all have the same core religious view. Just as any other religion that perpetuates collective hysteria and war. Humanity is better without any kind of organized dogma. Let’s jettison the stone age thinking.
Then you should support an opt in system for ads I assume. Opt in. Heart’s content. Bob’s your Uncle.
It’s pretty common. I ditched Amazon, Instagram and a bunch of other apps for their PWA equivalent. You can find pretty comprehensive lists on the interwebs and it’s growing.
I’ve moved mostly to progressive web apps that truly stop when you close them. For sure they will try to use trackers when they’re running but you can stop that with pihole or NextDNS if you’re on the move with your mobile. You can regain some control if you have the motivation to do so. If you have to install an app, you can still block tracking via these methods and more.
Pixel owner here. Changed to Nova launcher on day one. No search bar on my home screen and DDG is my default search engine.
