Yes, they do. Many of them may be complicit, but not everyone is equally responsible for the harm their employer does.

This is gross and these workers obviously deserve better, but I don’t know what they expected working for Meta—the company most notorious for making billions of dollars violating everyone’s privacy (often illegally) over and over again.

Same. If I have to screen share in a video call, I suddenly forget how to spell every other word and people get to watch me fix 7 typos per sentence.

Still applies.

*video game flow state*

“Oh, what game are you playing?”

*immediately dies*

Well that’s a very passive-aggressive way of saying, “No, no one has created a KDE widget out of this, yet.”

I saw the link (despite it being spoilered for some reason), but this is the kind of “omg it’s so obvious” attitude that puts newcomers off the Linux community.

It’s actually fewer steps. Society is just late-stage community.

Our brains evolved for living in groups of ~30-100 people. These communities are small enough to all know and support each other through life’s inevitable struggles. A healthy society is made up of thousands of these smaller, tight-knit communities, not just millions of individuals.

Our brains are not happy alone—not for extended periods. Reducing all our social interaction to anonymous chats (like this one) and passing hundreds of nameless faces does not fulfill your social needs and will leave you feeling lonely.

It is work, and you will encounter people that suck and/or won’t reciprocate, but if you keep at it, good people will reveal themselves. I promise it’s worth it.

Is this a KDE panel widget?

I get this sentiment, but the best way to combat this feeling is to build community.

Get to know the people around you. It starts small by just ditching the headphones in public and saying hello (and maybe some small talk) every time you encounter someone. Then start offering and accepting help, plan events, and keep track of their life milestones. People will be so pleasantly surprised when you remember things about their lives.

And you will probably be surprised at how many interesting people you pass by every day while keeping your head down. Over time, some of them will begin to reciprocate. Remember, they are probably also starved for community.

Capitalism wants us isolated, sad, and reliant on their products/services. The antidote is strong community.

100% this. Until spoofing is made technically impossible, spam calls will never end.

I suspect there is no incentive to ever break spoofing because companies use this to spam and trick you with solicitation. If there is money to be made off stagnation, all progress will be aggressively resisted.

I would actually support this if the code was generated by the Copilot plugin, but this is just adding a blanket “Sent from my iPhone” on all code commits wtf.

There’s only one continent if you ignore water.

Or “the job market” tbh

This, for sure, but if she wants to dance I’ll dance with her. 🤪

For serious, tho: people change.

You sound like one of my exes. -_-

There’s nothing MS can do to make me trust them again. They can “love bomb” all they want, but a toxic ex is a toxic ex.

Publicly traded corporations will always exploit anything and anyone they can get away with to maximize their profits. They will only improve just enough to trap you again, then the exploitation begins again.

Yeah I’m thinking the request frequency was the issue rather than bandwidth.

Thanks! I haven’t tried that dashboard yet, I might give it a spin.

Nice stack! What’s the crab logo? I don’t recognize it.

Do you notice a massive increase in request latency (like 10x-50x) when using a CloudFlare tunnel vs connecting directly to your IP? I’ve experimented with it a few times, but it really negatively impacts QoS for me, especially with federated services (like Matrix) where there are lots of small requests.

Since your title suggests you’re asking for an explanation:

Skill issue.
