Most high end audio equipment is mostly just rich idiot tax. Though low to mid is a huge jump in audio quality.

Advertisers have made their bed too. I almost fell for some scam/phishing ads myself and that’s it for me - no ad is ever showing up on any machine under my control. If you can’t maintain your side of a social contract then you lost it.

What is there to understand? It’s just a decentralized protocol - in fact, you don’t need to understand to use it. Just connect to chat server like you’d connect to one in discord.

Not the same thing. Every european country already has domestic Troy.

US is full of companies that publicly claim to manipulate reddit threads as PR protection. They all do it exactly like you’d expect - people with dozens of phones going through threads writing shit. Even if users are banned and their phone fingerprinted they just dump the phones for new ones.

Reddit knows could actually sue them and very likely to win but that would be a lot of attention at them.

The best part of this is - if commercial PR companies can afford to run this then what China, Russia and such are doing must have absolutely bonkers. There’s very little internet actually left organic.

Lol

Nah americans are very familiar with debt being the country with the most personal debt in the history of the world. If only they took debt for investment not for buying a new truck.

This is entirely on people’s lack of trying.

Obligatory

In the US, CFAA is so draconian that in certain aspects it can be very illegal to reverse engineer code behind explicit ToS which whatsapp make you agree through click-wrap agreement (meaning explicit I agree button press) upon installing the app. So Meta could easily sue you with very good chance of winning. I work in security and reverse engineer a lot of stuff but just because my company has lawyers that will protect me (also I’m not an american) but generally americans are super fucked here and there are many stories of people being sued and even imprisoned for breaking ToS.

Nah man I’m a professional scuba diver (well retired now) and avatar 2 and 3 made huge difference in pop cultural understand of the ocean. It’s his most important work yet and one of the most important Hollywood movies ever. I’ve seen thousands of people here in Thailand alone who got into scuba diving and reduced their sea food consumption just because of Avatar - this is good!

Don’t let your hate for the system blind you.

As a professional scuba diver I think his ocean-related work is much more important than America. Sorry guys but the world doesn’t revolve around you.

Yes, my point stands.

Nothing beats rye multi grain. Put some butter and cheese on it and I can legit live straight on it for days

This is not directly on Microsoft as you have to be either ignorant or special kind of stupid to upload your encryption keys to US cloud. The government can request access to any data and a company can’t do anything.

The only way to resist this is to not store anything unencrypted from your customers which is quite doable but clearly microsoft has no interest in this.

Maybe you need a doctor?

I used to do hiring and it has been a solved problem for at least half a century now through trial periods.

I really don’t understand these multi-round interviews - what can you possible learn from them? It’s 2 short interviews -> 2-4 week well paid contract -> employment or not. Works every single time unless you are so disorganized that you simply can’t implement this then lack of talen is really the least of your worries.

Totally and it’s a great illustration how diversification is crucial for any organized system. If we started to diversify earlier we not only would have more economic power now but avoided thounsands of conflicts as well.

Though a bit of optimisim here - seems like we learned this lesson and most countries are taking energy hedging very seriously these days. I don’t think we’ll ever have a new resource like oil again.

I’d agree but oil is absolutely next level to all of that. Entire countries are basically held hostage by energy supply which was never the case before. You could cut off trade and that’s the worst thing you could do but now you can fundamentally disable the entire country as oil is so fundamental to everything.

Oil was such a massive security mistake that we’re still collectively recovering from it.

Appreciate your work!

.ml needs to be defeated as it’s a cesspool of flavored fascists.

Which also led to countless war, murder and torture campaigns.
