My wife likes to joke when I’m in an anxiety spiral by saying “okay well on the off chance that society doesn’t crumble maybe you should plan for the future”. For some reason that always makes me laugh. If it does it does, but it’s probably best to have a plan still.
And reasonable budgeting can let you enjoy the now while also planning for the future
Right? This wasn’t “No don’t take my data but also find my car” it was “Please for the love of god find my car my child is in there” followed with “Right for a modest fee of $150 ma’am we sure can”.
Has nothing to do with privacy. Maybe they ask a boilerplate “We have to ask but you do give us consent right” followed by a “What the fuck do you think fucking yes!”, but not asking for money. That’s not the time.
Yeah this is exactly like the time Verizon refused to connect the firefighters in the middle of a wildfire because they had “used too many minutes” or something stupid like that. Megacorps need to be held accountable for emergency situations that don’t fit their neat little T&Cs.
I don’t think they’re saying that no one thought of it, but he’s right as a programmer those edge cases are always pushed out, kicking the can down the road. That doesn’t mean VW isn’t liable - it’s their fault still - they should have been able to help. But we can understand how it happened.
They probably called some guy on the 24/7 help line making minimum wage who will get fired if he ever gave out a free service and probably gets dinged if a call gets escalated. Those processes probably don’t exist. They sure as hell will now.
What? Are you suggesting I drive a smaller truck just to help other people? Are you saying I crash into people? I need that giant truck! Do you know how much I haul and tow every day?! I mean, I don’t, I commute back and forth to work every day in it, but I need to do that. My coworkers see that truck next to their cars and think “Damn, that guy drives a Truck”. Maybe if they see how big of a truck I drive it’ll make up for the crippling social anxiety I have that I just keep pushing further and further down, maybe it’ll make up for not getting that promotion I worked for. Now they’ll have to notice me. So no, you aren’t taking away my F350 Mega Macho Man-Manliness Super Truck. How else will people know I’m a man?
Which is why we call them ESTs. Emotional Support Trucks.
Yep. I like computer gear. The worst gifts are some niche crap like weird USB drives that I don’t need. Slightly better are gift cards to Best buy - but really the gear I need you can’t find there.
Socks are universal. Socks are love. Give me socks, then I don’t have to spend my money on socks.
Yeah studios hate this because they want to know how invested people are to know if they should continue. However they made the problem themselves by cancelling so many good shows.
Netflix leaked that if something isn’t crazy popular after season 1 it won’t get picked up again, which is asinine because we all know so many shows don’t get their legs until season 2 or 3
We have basically no idea what you’re running or how you’re running it, you saying you’re running docker is like saying “I have a server”. But, to be sure you’re running the latest version just use the tag, the part after the colon. So for lemmy, the most recent stable release is 0.18.5, denoted in your image as dessalines/lemmy:0.18.5
I’ve been worried about the same. I’m slowly moving my email and all accounts over my own domain name which for now is forwarded onto the same Gmail. Seems like an extra hop but if they block me then all I have to do is point my email somewhere else
