Well, California was a Spanish colony, sfter all.

*rolls D-100* ... I disbelieve!

Pixel Dungeon is a good option.

I've been unemployed for 7 months. Every online job I see that's been posted for at least 6 hours has over 200 applications. I'm a senior Dev with 30 years experience, and I can't find work.

I'd say generative AI is an existential threat as bad as offshoring was for steel in the early 80s. I'm now left with the prospect of spending the last 20 years of my work life at or near minimum wage.

After all, I can't afford to spend $250,000 on a new bachelor's degree, and a community college degree might get me to $25/hr, and still costs thousands. This is causing impoverishment on a massive scale.

Ignore this threat at your peril.

Free speech does not include subversion of the constitutional right to vote or seditious speech. The judges are clearly partisans. I'll wager they are Republican appointees.

I'm old enough to remember when none of this stuff existed. I have a threshold Beyond which I simply stop using the service.

I'm actually pretty close to my lifestyle from before 1995. I don't have any cable I have basic internet I don't do any of the Music Services. Video-wise I only have Prime and any free services I can get on Chromecast for TV. I'm getting close to my threshold with prime, as the annual fee is getting real high.

I'm already starting to lose interest in most YouTube channels. It's not so bad here, really. I get to experience reality more.

Matrix has too much metadata, i read, and XMPP so far does everything Matrix claims to do. I am sticking with XMPP (Jabber) for as long as i can, especially because it has proven itself over 20 years.

I've read an awful lot of comments yelling at EFF for supporting very bad people. I think you all do not understand the point being made.

It is not the isp's job to police the network. The proper route is to raise the complaint to the proper authorities and let them police the problem. Specifically, So they can do it in a transparent auditable and citizen visible fashion.

What happens when the ISP decides to block a person or organization because they think what they're doing is unacceptable, but they're wrong? How do we police that?

Nobody sees anything because they're blocked before anything can be shown. That is instant hidden censorship that nobody can stop because nobody knows about it.

Even the ACLU went to bat for a Nazi organization on a free speech topic because letting it pass would set a precident that would not be reversed, and thus eventually would be used to silence just causes.

Edit: if that's still too complex to parse, replace the target with the sermons of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm somewhat amused that they're hyping the color options in a breathless excited way as if it was a great new feature that changed the world.

You missed the sarcasm. Sometimes hard to get in text. Both of those artists are long dead.

However, their heirs could still be getting royalties if the artists were savvy.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Give that man a cigar!

Control plus the ones who own the office space really, really need to make sure it's being used or it looks bad on the quarterly finances.

Also, I have to admit there is validity to the benefits of in-person social interaction on certain aspects of productivity when teams are involved.

And that is the goal - make it such a pain in the ass to go with something that won't track your every decision that we all give up because it is easier.

At least LineageOS with or without MicroG is fairly simple, with auto-updates in many cases. Once you get past Knox and install twrp, it's easier.

GSI builds are generally easy, too, if it's well maintained. I like Andy Yan's ROMs.
