I don’t care because it doesn’t seem like a genuine mission to prove something. It feels like a purely political stunt. At least with the original mission, it was breaking a frontier on top of trying ot show off to Russia during the Cold War, but this time it’s only the US flexing as mandated by the Orangegutan in Charge because he can and it feels icky.

That’s just good advice 😂

This works so well. I’ve been on the receiving end of that, and I wanted more than nothing more than to help resolve their issue. I felt acknowledged and validated, and wanted nothing but to return the favor. Do this.

I’ve tried this, and it doesn’t work. If you’re not average-looking enough, the receptionists will be suspicious of you and ask you to name your room number and who you were with. Just ask to borrow a charger in a pinch so you can get 5% battery or something.

No, it’ll backfire spectacularly, and I’ve lived it. When someone’s a habitual liar, people will get accustomed to them and nobody bats an eye. But if you’re always honest and one day you fuck up and they find out, word will spread, the rumor will grow, and it’ll create a bigger ripple. You’d have broken a realiance where people will feel the need to adjust their views on you.

This will be a sort of “duh” moment in human history, won’t it.

But then that’s not really blocking, that’s just hiding users.

That’s not it because it’s not about deciding for others, but about deciding for your own posts. I should be able to decide on my visibility.

It’s pointless blocking people if that means they can still see and reply to you. Why even bother?

My two favorites:

BentoPDF - A privacy-focused PDF editor that works client-side

Cobalt Tools - Video downloader with a clean interface and good compression (YouTube stopped working and hasn’t been updated, unfortunately, but community instances exist that may address this)

Yes. My company is trying to retain its workers and treats us very well, but also expects the best of us. I’m more than happy to do my job to the best of my ability in a (gasp) inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and goes out of its way to do so.

We also use AI as part of our job, but management has made it very clear that they won’t (and can’t) replace its human talent. They also seem to know what it can and cannot do and I appreciate that.

Outside of that, jeez, it’s hard to tell. Life’s a bit rough everywhere.

The Do is so underrated. Unfortunately, they disbanded but their music is eternal.

Oh yeah. YOU are a fentanyl trafficker, and YOU are a fentanyl trafficker, and YOU are a fentanyl trafficker! 🎤 😃 👉
