Some IT guy, IDK.
My SO put it perfectly when I apologized for talking too much, she said “it’s ok, I know you like to listen to yourself”
And honestly, I do talk to myself when nobody’s around and there isn’t a huge difference in what I’m saying in either context.
I’m not having a conversation with myself, I’m just kind of thinking out loud.
According to xitter, if the woman is very muscular, then yes.
I don’t quite understand why though.
Chaos.
They were mostly threatening. For me the peace of mind of knowing that they can’t really track what’s being downloaded to my ISP/my account/me, is enough.
I don’t know if the MPAA is going to lose its mind like the RIAA did with the whole Napster thing. I don’t want to get caught up in it if they do.
For that peace of mind, I pay for my VPN.
If that’s not valuable to you, then you’ll make different choices. I’m not here to tell anyone what to do, I’m just giving my experience and opinion.
Good luck out there.
And no, I wasn’t charged either for the notice, nor legally charged as the result of a notice.
Looks like I got modded. I’m having such a fun time on Lemmy.
The speech here is so free.
In this example image, those be some “earth” colors. Used to be a big thing. Lots of dark green, dark yellows, oranges and browns.
And they liked that.
It’s a whole vibe. I don’t know who vibes with that, but it definitely has a vibe.
I’m half on one side, half on the other.
The line I draw is between safety and convenience. On the safety side, I want things to be very manual. I don’t want some app or external system managing whether or not the lights stay on, or whatever, on the convenience side, I 1000% want a way to manage things like the lighting from an app.
So anywhere that safety is a concern, like the kitchen, bathroom, a handful of other places… There’s zero “smart” anything. Everywhere else, yeah, I can turn off my lights from an app.
When I’m in my office/living room, where safety isn’t really a concern, I don’t have to get up to turn on the lights, I can yell at my Google home to do it for me, or use an app. If I want the lights to be some shade of turquoise, I use the app…
In the kitchen, as an example, no such control exists. You have to push the light switch, and you get basic bitch white light. You don’t get an option. You want the light off? Take your fingers and do the thing that makes the light switch go click and turn off the lights.
The decision to make anything smart relies on whether or not I’m going to be in danger if the lights go out and there’s no way to turn them on again because the Internet is down.
We need a few more Luigi’s in the world.
I’m a cis male and I have so little interest in my looks that the only looks related thing that I even think about, is my weight, mainly because I don’t want to be unhealthy. If I’m “overweight” or “obese” and healthy, I couldn’t give a fuck about being whatever weight I am. I just know that being overweight is frequently a sign of being unhealthy, or can cause health complications like T2 diabetes.
I typically wear black 90% of the time or more, because I don’t have to think about matching colors or standing out or being stylish or whatever.
For fashion, all black, uninteresting clothes, are generally neither hated, nor loved by people. It’s very meh, bland, uninteresting, not notable, and generally very meh. I’m good with that. I may never be “en vogue” or whatever the fuck, but I’ll never have someone looking at me like “you’re wearing that shirt with those pants?” They’re all black. I’m wearing black jeans with a black T-shirt.
Yes, we are pack mules.
I just want to point out that they are, including and especially the current pos, I mean Pota, business people, and businesses are, with one exception, authoritarian in nature. The exception? A co-op.
Orders are barked from the top, and that shit rolls down hill until it lands on someone with the skills necessary to execute on those orders.
Now take that, and build an entire political party on it, and for the likes and subscribes, throw in a religious element because the religious books can be “interpreted” whatever way we want to justify whatever we want to do, and that will garner some extra votes.
Yay!
All I’m going to say is that my ISP used to send me notices from the MPAA about what I was downloading and that I should:
Since I setup a VPN, I do not get those notices.
Do I need to say more?
Thanks, I hate it.
Yes and no.
Yes because these people are at work; if they’re not using a bathroom, having cameras recording them while they perform their job is within their employers purview to do.
The can object all they want, but it’s something that is, and can be done for pretty much everyone working. Think about cashier’s at grocery stores and convenience stores… They’re almost always on camera all the time. I can hear someone saying “but that’s different, it’s for security”… Is it?
Having a flight recording of what the cockpit is doing during the flight, seems like something you would want when you are entrusting them with a multimillion dollar piece of machinery and hundreds of people’s lives.
On the other hand, where the hell is that information going to go? The black box? Doubtful, that shit is already cram packed with stuff they need to record. On a device in the cockpit? Sure, you’ll never find it in a crash, but you do you, I guess.
So I’m on the no side because unless you’re putting it in the flight recorder, it’s borderline useless for anything beyond scrutinizing someone doing their job. If you are putting it in the flight recorder, is there any information that’s going to get left out to make space for the video of pilots picking their noses at 30,000 ft?
Uploading her porn? Gross! To where though? There’s so many places she could upload to, which one? So disgusting!
Slow cooked beef roast.
It’s literally the only thing that people know me for, in terms of food.
Carlin was brilliant. There was so much that he said that was just absolutely true, but his delivery made it funny, rather than depressing.
There will always be a market for relatively short term living spaces; a gap currently filled by rentals.
Any person who is not living in a place temporarily, eg, for school or a temporary job posting or something, should have the ability to buy a home at an affordable price, without fail.
The housing market is saturated with house flippers and people with more money than sense looking to become a landlord so they can have an “income property”.
IMO, all rentals should be either run, controlled, or at least strictly overseen by a specific branch of government dedicated to the task. Anyone who wants to become a renter has to get their rental property approved for renting, and approvals only happen if more rentals are strictly required.
I want my mortgage to be paid off.
