This toaster:
Might as well link the Technology Connections video already.
Yes, it’s an 18 minutes video on a 1950s toaster, you can thank me later.
Even if it was, employers have all kinds of software running on employee workstations, some including keyloggers and screenshots, etc
Nothing is private on a device you don’t own.
Probably something for @jerry@fedia.io
Thanks, that’s an interesting read.
I know that’s one person’s opinion and not a thorough research, but that’s still plenty of red flags.
I’ve used the 100 searches in the free trial, thought the search was fine, better than Google’s these days. The subscription is a bit steep so I held off, kinda glad I did after digging more into this.
Having what little employees they have also make a mac-only browser, AI stuff and email that their user base doesn’t seem to want is all a bit weird.
Buying a t-shirt factory (wtf) with the money they could have used to potentially lower the subscription, but decided to burn through it to give out free t-shirts. That just screams narcissism-driven to me.
Their vague statements on privacy isn’t convincing at all.
Some variation of “we don’t care about your data” isn’t in any way compelling evidence that you care about protecting the privacy of said collected data.
In my opinion they lack focus, commitment and conviction into what I thought was their primary mission at first glance: being a privacy-focused no nonsense search engine.
Although that’s probably on me for reading what I wanted to see between the lines and that never was their stated mission, which would explain a lot.
The same applies to pictures of hikes. Sure you can take a nice panorama but that doesn’t do justice to actually being there.
Right, everyone knows telnet makes you gay.
It’s all detailed in the RFC854 for the telnet protocol by J. Reynolds and J. Postel. (Gay was pronounced with a J back then, like gifs)
That’s why they later invented SSH to uh… secure you from… the… gay packets…?

Sorry your mom sucks.
Not my parents, but I’ve had a narcissist work colleague pester me about my partner and I not wanting to have kids, trying to convince us I guess, using her ultimate argument…
Her: But… you need to have kids so they take care of you when you’re old!
Me: So… wait. Is that the reason you had kids?
Her: Well yea! (like that’s the only logical answer, duh)
Me: … wow …
Fast forward. Her kids are all grown up now, they’ve since cut all contact and she hasn’t seen them nor her grandkids in years. I run into them once in a while and I’ve helped them out with a handful of times with things like moving or maintenance or tax reports or whatever. There’s a few things they never really got to learn growing up and anything they could ever do was never good enough for her, even though she’s terrible at most things.
Now and then, she’d still complain about them being ungrateful and I’d just ignore her… she’s never once come even close to the self-awareness that she drove them away by being a narcissist asshole.
She’s retired now, so neither of us have to deal with her now.
Great fucking plan, having kids to guilt trip them into caring for you…
They had the guts to move on and I’m proud of them.
I was probably the first to tell them so, some random passerby.
Fuck narcissists.
Yup.
This kind of spam has been going on for a while and is usually removed promptly.
Sorry, I think our local murder bot was offline at the time.
Anyway, they’ve since been banned along with a several alt accounts.
Don’t hesitate to report those if you see more.
Oh and I think we would rather not advertise their spam URL if you wouldn’t mind editing the link out from the quoted part.
Thanks,
I have a vague memory of this but it might have been an extension.
Bankruptcy is so alpha male
So, my question is, what would you want to do in your final days?
Honestly, that’s a good question that I don’t know the answer to.
I don’t know that I’d care doing anything super specific, but mostly that I’d want to spend at least some of that time with the people I love.
Not even as a goodbye, really.
There’s just something about connecting with people that is its own reward, for one more moment.
Maybe I’d like to watch the stars on a clear night, away from the big city lights?
Gazing at the light from a star from a billion years ago, there’s always been something calming to me about the sheer vastness of the universe. Our time here, almost a blip, but ever precious.
Know that whatever happens next, your story has touched me.
I really wish you the best.
Some people have survived unimaginable odds, and I hope you do too.
I love mine, it’s so gentle and civilized.
I wish they made a modern version with the adjustable slice width thing, it’d be perfect.
