Have you guys ever heard of Facebook? It’s pretty cool you can post images or links or batshit crazy conspiracy theories to your wall and all of your friends or toothless uncles will like and laugh and comment and threaten people, it’s a hoot.

foggy,

Boy, I sure hope someone was fired for that blunder.

Hey that’s ridiculous!

In the year 2000, an internet friend gave me FTP credentials to a directory on his domain so I could host images and post them on the forum we were friends on.

He provided this service to all the forum users because we were all like :woah: when he started posting images that weren’t just leeched from another domain.

Eventually he did ask users throw him a few bucks, and then he made a tutorial on how to get your own domain and do it yourself.

Which tells me I’ve been using filezilla for about 2/3 of my life.

Compounding interest is a hell of a drug.

Saving anything is infinitely better than saving nothing.

Retiring is possible for anyone with an education, but it is a sacrifice, and a gamble on not dying

Aged like milk.

“A Psychiatric evaluation. There is one psychiatrist in the tri county are and they are out of network. The evaluations are in 3 30 minute sessions. The psychiatrist will be 45 minutes late at a minimum. The first two are $1200 each, and the third is $1600. I can get you in on…march 29th, 2025? Does that date work for you?”

American government is notoriously inefficienct.

This is a feature, not a bug. Voting is the most effective thing we can do. Our system can’t be dismantled quickly. It’s too much of a mess.

Then floodgates of piracy opened as a means of being with exorbitant prices on music, and then television.

The solution for the industry was to make it more convenient to pay them than it was to steal. Stealing never stopped, it just lessened, because it was more convenient to pay.

Critical mistake, making it difficult for us to get what we want…

I haven’t missed or been late for an appointment in probably a decade.

Literally just put it in your calendar and add a notification for enough time ahead of it.

I also snooze emails instead of letting my inbox clutter. I have an empty email inbox. Those concert tickets will pop into my inbox right around the day of.

I pre-send texts with a timer. Like if I know I’m driving 5 hrs to see my folks, I’ll pre-send a text for that day that says “on my way, should be there around _____”

That way all I need to do is update them if something goes wrong.

Idk, cell phones make being present, available, and on time, really fucking easy. Like I have severe ADHD, if I am always on time and you’re not, you’re fucking up somewhere. Use the tools in your pocket. It’s easy.

Long press the send button, Holmes 😎

May vary by SMS app. I use googles SMS app on Android.

I put it in when the event is created.

Like I take my phone out when I’m at the desk making an appt for whatever.

It’s ok to kiss your mom, just like, not on the lips.

My coworker has notifications on on his phone and I hate him for it.

Put it on vibrate and keep it in your pocket, or keep it silent and just check it religiously like the rest of us addicts. Ugh. The nerve.

But seriously it’s annoying af.

foggy,

Good counter to people saying they have nothing to hide is the guy that lost his apple or google acct because he sent a photo of his child’s rash to his doctor and it got flagged as CSA.

You don’t need to have anything to hide to get fucked over by a lack of privacy.

foggy,

If your friends have Facebook, and they share contacts on their phone, and they communicate with you Facebook has a shadow profile for your phone number. They still track you even without the app or an account.

You know that kid who everyone wanted to punch but didn’t because his big brother was everyone else’s big brothers drug dealer?

That’s cops.

They said “obscure little”, not “the most popular and hyped metal act currently, with sold out shows worldwide”

All good and all, and not trying to be a dick.

Saw homie was catching downvotes, figures to explain why.

Sleep Token rules. I saw them 2 months ago. Their merch line literally lasted longer than their show. By hours.

That will never occur at even a remotely small, remotely obscure bands show.

Piracy is Preservation (feddit.de)

Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were...

I’m aware of the extent to which they archive, and I stand by my statement

My PC is hacked

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

Americans wealth index only trails behind Iike 3 EU countries. Your statement is googlably false. (Germany, Norway. Not France Not Britain, not Spain, not Italy…not most of Europe).

Edit: also, laughs in GDP

I’ve done a lot of thinking about the scam market, and there is no way it isn’t some kind of “CIA is behind the cartels” situation.

Primary target? Elderly Americans.

Objective? Bring generational wealth to institutions.

FCC could stop the vast majority of this shit by using techniques similar to DKIM via VOIP to stop spoofing (STIR/SHAKEN). This problem is solved. Has been for a while.

I can only assume they don’t drop the hammer because they can take a cut instead.

foggy,

I think 80 year old Americans have a disproportionate amount of global wealth, so they are a, as I said, primary target. Yes.

Give it 15 years and then focus will shift to be predominantly toward UAE.
