Growing up that was always my friendly local game store.

Because I have limited empathy and scope insensitivity.

If I'm emotionally burnt out about the crimes of a strongman like Putin who I have zero ability to change how will I put pressure on my local police chief to fire bad cops?

Do you honestly believe anyone is going to arrest the county board of supervisors?

What do you believe will happen to remedy this?

I'm all for enforcing the law, but I recognize that local authorities are essentially unaccountable to the rest of the nation. I assume that the residents of Maricopa county either support the outcome, are unable or unwilling to change it, or do not care about our civic processes.

I've tried to go over this with my dad and uncles a few times, they're all IT professionals.

The theory is essentially that the machines weren't properly secured, they cite some provision of AZ election law that I don't recall precisely which states that if the machines aren't air-gapped the election is invalid and must be rerun.

They think the routers are the proof that the rules were broken and thus will force a revote. When pressed they never can really articulate a specific theory of fraud, just that the rules were broken and they're upset when the rules were broken and their guy lost.

I started this account when I realized that was what is happening at my current job.

I've been trying to ask for some of the things this suggests, and been told that it's a 'low value use of my time' to have expensive developers talk to cheap service reps.

The entire point of my work is to multiply the value those low cost reps provide. I'm probably deluding myself to hope that will improve their working conditions, but even just eliminating the day to day pain points of their job is more motivating to me than whatever "move this widget 1px to the right cause the design isn't pixel perfect on the CEOs new phone with a strange resolution" type crap I wind up working on.

We could start doing like the comment on OP does. Send a rejection notice with a link to some list of all the various blogs documenting how big providers refuse to follow the standards.

> My other thought was to have my Postfix server reject all mail from Microsoft servers, with a message requesting the sender to use a different mail provider and pointing to this article.

This seems like the most straightforward way to handle this.

I'm not sure it's fair to call telling foreign investors that they're not welcome to use your country as a rent farm is fairly called "communism." Until the rise of neo-liberalism that seemed to be a pretty core part of all economic populism on both the left and right.

I realized this when Microsoft started reading the emails and attachments in my office 365 account, and having Cortana "helpfully" suggest various to-do items from them.

The degree to which this seems to be the case has me convinced that the only way I will actually have any control of my data is if it's on a hard drive in my physical possession. And frankly I don't have time to maintain my own IT infrastructure.

Most of the historical community building was done at faith communities, and by stay-at home parents in the past. As a society we fell hook line and sinker for "The two income trap," and are unwilling to contemplate the horrible idea of allowing families to collect the childcare subsidy to pay the parent providing childcare is upsetting to enough different groups to be a non-starter.

Right wingers are upset because "it's socialism" and folks on the left who I've discussed the idea with have repeatedly expressed fear that it will undermine feminism.

It seems to me that "generate the code that makes these unit tests pass" is actually a much saner engineering task than "go from a comments to an implmentation"

I feel like a mix of hand written test cases and copilot generated code might go somewhere, but I think you've got the basic problem sorted out. I'd much rather type an algorithm in from scratch than wrap my head around whatever copilot spits out.

Conspiracy seem to be a type of corruption to me in many cases.
