I use it because 22 years ago it was more appealing than redhat or Mandrake. It forced me to learn more about Linux because I had to resolve almost everything myself than any other distro. I was using before it had a package manager and honestly after the dependency hell of rpms in 2000s it just seemed more problematic to use one that resolved dependencies than not. Usually I used to and sometimes still use it for a nice base to compile everything on. I dunno. It's my Linux equivalent to my first car that I loved.

The old Facebook app was the first one to convince my phone listens in on my conversations. I haven't touched anything Facebook since 2013.

Arguably the location data has several purposes, and needs to be collected but shouldn't have been available for sale. It's bad enough you can't keep law enforcement out of it but even worse when random businesses get the information.

That said, in this day and age, it should be a no brainier that your phone is a tracking device for multiple organizations and we should all keep that in mind

Genius and insanity are close bedfellows.

Small sensors would be an ideal application as well.

I wouldn't go around and start claiming any group "lacks qualities to make them human". Dehumanizing people doesn't work out well, ever.

The 90s Super Mario Brothers movie walked so this one could run. Because that's a really low bar to set.

I will never forget how the entire republican primary consisted of all of them basically forecasting the future under him while he's just sitting there being a dumb, smug fuckface shit talking all of them, Christie included then turned around and kissed his ass thankfully, gluttonously, with absolute enthusiasm for 4 years. Christie included.

What an appalling shit show.

Man. I should doom scroll reddit and Lemmy and kbin as a reaction video to this defining moment of a generation. Please like a subscribe to more filler content I didn't actually work to create.

This guy would be three steps ahead of the PR. Dude publicly mocked a guy in a wheelchair who also happened to have a 100 million dollar clause if he was fired, which he was, publicly, on Twitter while having his HIPAA information released by his CEO because he thought he was malingering.

What PR firm could get ahead of that ONE day, let alone so many others of that level of holy shit? Not one that wants to stay profitable since he's supposedly stiffing other companies they do business with.

I don't even think that actually touches on the point here. People want purpose, meaningful purpose out of the thing they spend most of their lives on. Unionizing isn't going to give you job satisfaction if you're a data entry operator unless that's something you find fulfilling.

I work in IT and used to be passionate about computers and the internet but now I want to do something else and get away from the grind of IT work, where nothing is ever completed or provides a sense of accomplishment. There's no meaningful purpose in it for my life other than a paycheck.

Unionizing might help with getting better pay for work but in terms of actual purpose, fulfillment and job satisfaction unions are as useful as advocating for a car club when I'm changing my oil. Completely unnecessary and unrelated and doesn't address the goal at hand.

This is something that's an individual pursuit beyond days off and pay.

Isn't that kind of the point? You don't get very far hiding in a social setting. You're on a public website talking to other people. Your posts should be public, comments, etc. At least people should treat all websites or apps they didn't develop personally like they're public. I mean you don't really have a right to privacy in public.

And I'm not trying to say this with some malicious tone or anything but it's just my view on it.
