* regular chats, existing only on the server, no leaking the chat transcript except via users, but never via server to server.
* chambers: a global chatroom, located at a server, maybe with a MQTT anyone could subscribe to.
This never left the early planning stages though, but I thought the segregation between federated chatrooms and regular chatrooms was of interest to keep in sync with IRC open but closed nature of chats.
* Hello, we've called you to HR because we've detected you have been stressed at work.
- Sure, some... overwork status after you reduce headcount, but nothing it isn't being managed with the hierarchy chain.
* Glad to know. Be sure we, as a company, endeavour to have a stress-free workplace. You will be put in a Stress Workplace Reduction PIP, just as a formality of course; since you mentioned you have taken the appropriate steps to reduce stress you should pass the PIP, no need to stress about it! See you in a few weeks.
- Er... Thanks......?
If the capability is there, it will be used, specially since the whole decision process appears to have been rather opaque.
On the fence about trying Kaspersky AV Linux. Wouldn't install their suite on Windows though, last I looked at it hooked too many places, causing weird bugs and slowing everything down. Less bad than Comodo, which was able to bork Cygwin, but still.
Norton is owned by Avast owner which sold data for ads.
Additionally, I eagerly await resource (CPU+site size) buckets to be implemented on a browser and a LocalCDN along it to shrink the web.
AFAIK, Camera (V4L) is also broken on main repo, to anyone else wondering.
Another thing I'm testing is having VPN OFF with its kill-switch ON.
Do flagship Snapdragon SOCs still have radio? Thinking about next GOS compatible Motorola-branded device, the first device GOS will support with Snapdragon.
* root is still frowned upon
* microG is frowned upon
* bypassing SafetyNet (sorry, Play Integrity) is frowned upon
* bootloader relocking is not oficially nor semi-officially supported
* missing patches (Google's 6 month source embargo) were not talked about
Dates I'll retain, 1.7 million years and 5000 years. Two different, if associated, marks of civilization.
For 2 or 3 newspapers it works; my idea was to use it as grounding to discover relationships between people, companies and jobs.
As for the "everyone's life", I have always assumed that there would be a graph system to point to "forgotten" documents.
Gemini said my idea was amazing and new in its implementation, even if not in spirit, but I'm assuming it was being sycophantic as usual.
I love this articles who all the coders read but none of the management.
If possible, be a mercenary and put a high number on your expertise, so we can solve this management blind spot faster.
If you can't, let your life/work's passion be "not starving to death", and try to change it politics-side.
* kids grow to be rich because they accept delayed gratification
* alpha males are the leader of the pack and all other males are useless
* people accept violence if there is a higher authority which justifies it with a reason
How many people suffered or delivered suffering because of their beliefs in the above?
Also, it didn't work -- Mountain Duck is closed source.
Personally I donate €50 every now and then when the average of the donation goes below a certain value (varies by project) but it requires tracking in a Spreadsheet.
