Jokes on them, I stay away from all products that advertise to me unless I need said product and go searching for it.

This is the way.

Fellow OG. I remember. The day it was close to hitting 5gb I was watching it like an every guy watches their car odometer as it hits some magic number. It was worthy of celebration.

1gb back then was 5x the allowed size for my exchange mailbox at work. HUGE!

Anyone else remember when Google bragged about never being worried about storage as you watched your storage free count, grow and grow and grow.

Shhh, the smart people are talking. Listen and learn

This will be be one of those that they use to tag onto your allegedly illegal activities. Probably a larger penalty but a secondary infraction that can be painful. They just need reason.

I think you can equate it to if you were pulled over for speeding, and they noticed a busted taillight which makes the fine larger. They can’t pull you over for a busted taillight alone but they can add those fees on and wow do they add up.

I’m shaking in my boots, Utah. I’m skared!!! Prove that I’m surfing PORN. Maybe I just want to protect my privacy and stop my ISP from selling my online activities. But also, porn. I know Europe has a few countries imposing this, but damn am I glad to not be in the USA anymore. I’d likely be shot and killed leading a revolution. At least people would have a martyr…

Mullvad has quantum resistance and DIATA. Only when VPNs are outlawed will this be an issue.

None of these happen on a regular occasion, I can’t even remember the last time ANY of them happened in my office where macOS is the default. 90% of what you experienced is probably user created errors**. But then again I realize I’m in a Linux sub and it’s what we Linux users do, tweak shit.

** except for the play button. Apple does like to force Apple Music over my already open player.

macOS is perfect for every day use for most people and for those that know how to use it outside the normal, powerful.

I trust they are selling my data to make money, even when I ask them not to.

Mandatory Triple play packages by xfinity is coming BACK! Yay… I forgot what it was like to over pay for my internet with 2 additional services I don’t want. Can’t wait.

Something tells me he’s not embarrassed about that. He just hates it’s not his narrative.

My fave is when I asked Claude to help out and it reads my code and comments inline and then tells me “stupidmanager, im not sure what you were doing and your comments show you weren’t sure either”

Wish I got a screenshot.

Also, I almost as quickly fixed the issue after asking Claude and then asked for a review to which I told me I probably should hide the comments.

Not sure when Claude got snark installed, but it’s to a point where I have a rule prohibiting it.

Sorry Pope, there’s no money in that. Signed - insurance companies and Donald j Trump (because he likes his name in everything)

Going to point out that not only is *.* unnecessary, but he’s in ~ (home) so assuming it even worked he just deleted his home.

Nice. As an American living in Spain, this will be nice when the time comes. Now, if I could only speed up my citizenship here so I can file sooner.

Try having an account since 2007 and logging in once a month to check in with friends, but this last year I get banned for using vpn. Same deal, verify, ban, unlock, verify, ban. I personally like that they tell me my account was compromised…

I have it running now on and old Mac that isn’t logged in with any other accounts. It’s on its own, doesnt use Adblock and uses the public WiFi from the coffee shop below my apartment. If I have to use Facebook, they can figure my usage patterns out without help.

I had this box that carried/moved from 1996 - 2016 (when boxes weren’t cheaply made) that had every cable from scsi, power, ps, usb and more. I can count on one hand the 3 times I needed something from it. I moved with it 5x between 2 states and apartments and a house, and when I moved it the last time from my basement office to my upstairs office, I decided to turn those cables into money (copper). I never looked back because I found myself being lazy and searching Amazon for a 3$ cable.

I shall live with this tech nerd shame, but honestly I sold everything to move to Spain, so whatever. Heh.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has been “inundated” with more than 200 calls across dozens of military installations, including 110 complaints filed between Saturday morning and Monday evening, from service members reporting their commanders have invoked similar extremist rhetoric of Christian Zionist messianism when justifying the unprovoked war on Iran.

This is the signs of the start of a civil war right here. Someone, will push back one day and kill a leader.

If you saw some of the unfiltered news, you would agree. I have quite a few Iranian friends that are watching their fellow citizens be murdered. but we know that’s not why the USA is doing this.

Also, change Iranian to American and I’m on board. Fuck ICE.

Impossible how?! There are easy free streaming sites out there, granted do not enter without Adblock on full. Shit, there’s a site that aggregates the free streaming sites and keeps an active list. And then the ever more concise solutions that programmatically download in the background, many of them end in ‘arr’, all from torrents and newsgroups.

Never underestimate motivated humans.
