What made you not use the web for your banking? Is the app 100% required? I use the web interface (forcing desktop version) for mine on graphene with no issues.

Why stop at subminimum wage? They should give people the option to work for free as, what do you call that again? Oh yeah, slaves. Republicans like the idea of those, right?

When you rent something, you can share it. You rent a car, you can have passengers. You rent an apartment, you can have visitors. You rent a tool, you can lend it to your neighbour.

offer a better, fully fleshed out alternative

is a bit of straw man. Offering a rough list of alternatives for discussion would be sufficient response to the question.

you are allowed to say X is shitty on its own

while true, this ignores that your original statement was challenging this choice over other possibilities. So yes, you can just say it’s a shitty choice, but you (colloquially, at least) implied there exist better choices in your opinion. So it is reasonable to ask what those might be.

Kinda depends on the role. I mean, I am a GRC, privacy, and security specialist who is usually brought in to teach existing employees how to improve their security awareness, and I have been a consultant in the IT industry for over 25 years. So I usually come in not trusting the employer.

If your corporation is running windows 11, you can’t be trusted to keep things malware free. If you’re a corporation, you should also respect true capitalist behaviour, and if they can make a profit offshoring, what difference does it make. If, however, you provide robust, *nix based equipment, follow a disciplined SDLC, and are not a corporation, then I might a couple of highly disciplined, experienced systems analysts with a GRC and privacy focus who would love to learn more about you.

Although you do open with the fact you don’t trust your people, so, probably not.

HVAC specialists and cooling systems experts will probably be in high demand to keep the future AI overlord datafarms frpm overheating. They’ll become the new priest class lol

well, especially since se also works as a domain, so I originally was expecting, to use related syntax for fun se|li (or plain old se/li) and had to go back and reread. At first read it as se/org/li as in, “se OR org OR li” work and I thought, “no, they just said org doesn’t work.” Then I reread and recognized the sed pattern.

If it’s your personal retirement plan, does it matter? You’re out of the picture regardless, and it also has been known to succeed.

They didn’t work for me until I used Tor. Then they all worked.

If your pension plan is a rope, might I suggest a guillotine instead? or first? Get rid of as many top hoarders as you can.

I remember the looks I got at a goalsetting workshop when they asked, “What would you do if you had six months to live?” and I said, “Killing spree.”

qlango might meet your needs.

DJT 1-5 are probably for-profit slave colonies, I mean, detention centers, and not publicized. Amazon probably took a page from Apple and has netting under the windows so they don’t lose labour to petty things like suicide.

Journalists used to use the inverted pyramid for a reason. Direct marketers reversed that principle to create what evolved into clickbait. So clickbait, to me, automatically implies the opposite of journalism (advertising and/or propaganda) .

Think about what we did in Ireland in the 80s. It’s no different, and it only worked marginally. Although that cpuld be because opsec was pretty good among the provisional IRA active cells.

I am not dyslexic, but for some reason I keep reading SHIFTphone as SHTFphone (which for me stands for Shit Hits The Fan), and that works even better in my brain. Does anyone know this tech, this company, anything? They are unfamiliar to me.

My colleagues and I never stopped encoding everything important before committing it to a digital context. We have never trusted the powers that be not to grab for more power and control.

That’s one way to get rid of remote work.

Could you progressively poison your data?

To piggyback on this and apply chauvinistic reciprocity, why would you spit anything at some you find cute. They probably decided to leave with Cthulhu, who is confidently, unapologetically, Cthulhu.
