I simply wouldn’t take a job with a one hour per way commute. Takes me 15-20 minutes max, and one less work day a week sounds sweet.


Community to make fun of conspiracy theorists. Used to be wacky, “I think the birds outside my window are working for the government, anyone know a crystal that can help me” sort of thing, became a little sad with COVID.


On the ole 600euro communities you regularly see people posting these screenshots as “proof” of tracking devices in vaccinations.


Already am back in the office 3 days a week. One is mandatory.


Games used to take a looong time to load before flash storage, so people would go get a coffee or something while loading. Before main menus, it would just drop you into the game while you were away, potentiality missing something. So they added the “press any key” pause to wait until you’re back.

For some reason they kept this until today.


People don’t read warnings. They will still swamp your support department with tickets despite being told their setup is unsupported.


We do that upstream, no way for you to avoid it. For good reason too, our team handling abuse notifications mails was super swamped with people whose ancient XP PCs had malware sending spam.

Forget running your mail server on a residential IP anyway. You’ll be instant blocked by any mail provider, residential IPs are always spam, because of the aforementioned XP PCs.

Personally I wouldn’t self host mail anymore anyway. Too much trouble.


Unless you browse Geocities sites from 1998, intercepting and MITMing is simply not an issue. Everything built nowadays uses https, which fully protects you against those.


I’m not talking about the gun rack, I’m talking about the gun. A gun is no mundane tool.


No I won’t leave my gun “accidentally” anywhere. Handling a gun means “accidentally” is not part of your vocabulary.

I’m a gun owner myself, so I’m not the pearl clutching type but this is genuinely unthinkable to me. Absurd and a little scary, to be honest.


But with fire arm thefts etc it was pretty rare to actually have a gun loaded or unloaded in the gun-rack.

So what you’re saying is, people did - rarely - leave guns unattended in a car? Students no less?And that is legal? Murica gets more absurd every time I read about it.

Under no circumstances in the wrold would I leave my unsecured guns in a car.


Don’t know what government you’re referring to, but if the EU anti-trust regulation kicks in it will affect everyone. EU agencies are slow but they do their job eventually.


Because someone is willing to pay for them. The internet isn’t a nonprofit project anymore like in the 90s when it was run by universities. For better and for worse.
