Lol you think the feds won’t notice that a person of interest’s phone went dark for the first time in 5 years?
Everyone gets this wrong. If you want to hide, hide inside your established patterns of life. You want to do shit across state line for a weekend? Don’t turn off your phone, have your friend carry it around while you are gone.
The thing which pop security types miss here is the need to blend in. Being a hole in the noise is like the worst thing you can do. Establish a pattern of life and you can use it to obfuscate your alternative activities. Understating how tracking works and using it to your advantage is 100x more useful than pretending like using a different app store or some random ROM is keeping you safe.
An early vote is a certain vote. A vote on election day is a bet that you don’t slip in the shower and die before then.
Can we review Simone de Beauvoir essays instead?
All genders who vote against Trump are sexy. All people who vote for him are trash.
New passing meta just dropped
That’s because apple wants to form an abusive relationship with you where you try to justify all the dumb shit they do because you build it into your ego identity.
The model should basically refuse to engage for some time after suicide ideation is brought up, besides mentioning help. “I’m sorry but this is not something am qualified to help with, if you need to talk please call 988.”
Then the next day, “are you feeling better? We can talk if you promise never to do that again.”
This is why it’s so frustrating, because tankies being overrepresented in online leftist spaces is one of the things which harms the acceptance of leftist ideals more than most of their imperialist windmills.
People aren’t scared away from socialism by economic democracy, egalitarianism or radical direct action. They are scared away by confrontational and aggressive tankies defending tyrants, who seem to care more about relitigating random cold war drama than lifting up workers.
Honestly I think the .ml folks have shown themselves to be such zealots that they should be considered a potential security threat to the broader fediverse.
The more places defederate from them, the more opportunity and initiative there will be for alternatives to their largest communities to grow.
Yeah, currently every politics thread on the fediverse which gets any traction is hijacked by the same few trolls. Last year they were doing “DNC corruption” and “Blue MAGA.” This year they are all “Genocide Joe.” It’s insanely transparent. I get people have different opinions, but these few individuals do literally nothing on the fediverse but drop the exact same comments in every single thread which has the word “Democrats” or “Biden” or “Harris” in the title.
He’s not the Messiah! He’s a very naughty boy!
I legitimately do not understand how people can spend that much time at home and not go stir crazy. That doesn’t mean I want to force people into a situation because of my preferences, but gaddamn, having no context switch between work and home feels way more dystopian to me.
This is why we only hire competent engineers.
Reliable and fast delivery services also means less space devoted to parking lots and can generally be a really good way to transition communities away from car centric infrastructure. People just hate because cynicism is way easier than thinking critically.
Because most people on Lemmy have never actually had to write code professionally.
Right, the entire issue is that it basically acts as a massive layer of insulation between reality and bad management. The whole thing is like a fucking paradox - any time you make a change to workflows or procedures there’s this stupid period where you need to “wait for buy in” where it doesn’t matter how outwardly idiotic the change is, you can’t actually call it obviously fucking stupid for like several weeks, or you are seen as being contrarian, or causing trouble. And the real bullshit is that the “better” the tools are, the more this effect is amplified. So as an engineer, I have paradoxically come to appreciate bad management tools simply because when someone does something stupid with them, I can call it out more easily.
The issue is more that all of these planning tools enable bad managers to implement bad management practices and workflows without any actual tracking for what constitutes bad management. Almost without fail, every manager I’ve worked with who is very attached to these products ends up using them for the sake of using them. And then when that produces shit results it’s all about “engineering buy in” and “process learning curves” and they end up doing real damage to products before someone notices that Jira actions are not correlated with protective management.
The biggest issue is that good, effective management tools actually end up being a double edged sword because of how they shield bad managers the illusion of legitimacy.
Some VC funded social media is certainly less fascist than other VC funded social media.
