  • Enough has been said about the dating apps, so I feel it's OK to remark on something else:

    separated from my wife of 31 years - just earlier this month. Honestly, I’m already feeling bored and lonely

    Can you provide some more context here? On the face of it it makes you sound like being dependent on a woman to keep you company. Sorry if I misinterprete that. But shouldn't you be rather busy with other things now - idk, moving, settling in, changing your life alround, finding new friends, recovering from the separation...

    FWIW, my (now) 52yo brother and his wife found each other through a dating site/app almost 10 years ago. They seem to be doing well.

  • Harsh but true.

    But a little besides the point OP is trying to make - which is about Jesus' teachings themselves, not the cult that grew up around it - as far as we can deduce what Jesus actually did and said of course. Which isn't much but enough to come to a similar conclusion as OP claims.

  • Yeah. Or they'll go through with it, and then realize later that they "need" to buy new ones.

    Maybe I can still convince them to switch to Linux. We're not dependent on any MS or Windows only products.

  • Oh yeah, "Deregulate Everything". Because that has done the USA a world of good in the past 100 years.

    Not sure what's supposed to be democratic about it. Or I guess they mean Democratic: OK, it needs to be pointed out. But isn't that like pointing at the splinter in the Democrat's eye while ignoring the beam in the Republican's eye?

  • Northern Europe. Shots fired in my neighborhood. Cops rolled up a dozen strong, with bulletproof shields, and searched for the shooter for hours.

    OTOH: bike stolen. Police said, unless you have the frame number there's nothing we can do. And even if you had, very little. They did take my report though.

    I bought a much bigger/harder lock immediately, and it hasn't happened since.

    Never been burgled.

  • You mean, chromium-based browser vs. chromium-based browser?

    I know, it's about data mining (don't call it telemetry), but still. Funny. I bet they didn't even remove all Google links from the source code.

  • I'm currently horrified how my (IT illiterate) employer said we need to update all our 20+ laptops to Win11 now. Consumer laptops that barely run Win10.

    To be clear, I'm not the IT guy here, though I do sometimes help out.

  • Mint yes*, Vivaldi no.


    if it comes preinstalled. 99% of device owners would be overwhelmed by doing that themselves.

  • This needs to end. I hope the lawsuit brings us a step closer to it.

    And at this point, nobody can claim ignorance or incompetence. Online portals that deal with sensitive data, you need to code them properly.

    Not that I think there wasn't a profitable motive behind it.

  • No. But glad there's a class action lawsuit coming. You'd prefer not to see an article about it?

  • Fuck this dude with a rusty spade. He's a monster, so bad that even his extreme old age doesn't temper my hate.

  • It still is in many countries around the globe. Please don't give up hope, it is not a sign of naivety!

  • Only if no kids (or just people in general) were harmed in the process. And it increasingly doesn't look that way wrt LLMs.

  • Next to a TESLA dealership, the message could hardly be clearer!

  • books

    ??? I think I'll have to ask ChatGPT whatever the fuck you're talking about.

  • Thanks for clarifying. Still, does this affect every "device" user out there? There must be some sort of explanation here, what's the attack vector etc. I couldn't find it even on that Lithuanian guy's website.
