It also doesn't say permanent.

Some people like to suffer.

I'll go a long way to reduce my data exposure, but ffs, Windows and Office are the standard worldwide, for a reason. It's just naive and foolish to fight this battle while you have enough pressure and time limits as it is.

And I run multiple Linux-based systems in my home lab, but my laptop is windows, because "ain't nobody got time for that", as Sweet Brown would say.

Microsoft published that script to Github.

Calling it piracy to use their openly published script is... I don't know, incorrect?

Or have incessant meetings with Senior management or Business Unit leadership to keep them in the loop or even constrain their unrealistic expectations.

And being a Google app, which means it can access everything.

I'd sooner use a regular SMS app, and not reward their behaviour. Which is what I do. You want to use garbage like SMS or RCS? Then you suffer the issues that come with SMS.

I migrated from Doggcatcher to Podcast Addict a couple years ago. They're both OK. Most podcast apps are unnecessarily complex, convoluted and cumbersome to me, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Lately I've been testing Media Monkey - it's primarily an iTunes-like app for Android. It indexes your own media store, and can sync whatever you choose to your phone. It also has a podcast tool in the desktop app.

Downside is the podcast portion doesn't seem to have discovery/search like you'd think with a podcast app - you have to manually add the RSS url yourself. Plus to get wifi sync (which is critical to me), you have to buy both the desktop ($35) and Android app ($5). I get it, development isn't free, and wifi sync really works. I don't buy many apps, but I paid for both parts of Media Monkey, because I haven't found anything else that provides media management, playlist, and sync.

Then parents need to stop using such things as babysitters.

And parents also need to get up in arms about lazy "educators" using tech to make their job easier (instead of making learning more effective, which is the bullshit argument that's always used).

And "banning children", wait, I mean forcing every adult to verify who they say they are online accomplishes what?

Oh, that's right, a massive tracking database for any bad actor to use.

If your children get into shit, it's your fault for not raising them right. I got into some shit as a kid, and had friends that got into more/less shit.

I watched those fuckups raise their kids, and they learned from their own childhood experience and chose to guide their children how to use the internet properly. To understand how it works, the risks, etc.

You can't bubble wrap the world. The idiots (myself included) will always find a way around such safetyism, and in the process you'll be harming everyone else.

I experienced the edges of hurricanes every summer as a kid. You just deal with it.

Flooding, power outages, etc.

Lol, relax Francis.

Your English is excellent for a non-native speaker, probably as good as the average native speaker (frankly that's a criticism of the average speaker as much a compliment to you).

I can see how you made this mistake, it's pretty easy to make as you're thinking of the question, you kind of combined 2 ways of asking it.

"Have you ever been in a natural disaster"

"Have you ever experienced a natural disaster"

Is "you have been experienced" correct in any way (genuine question)?

I just can't think of any way that works.

Well, no shit.

This isn't news, it was known in the 80's.

I'd look for a community focused on writing fantasy

That was worth reading to the end.

Well played friend. Well played.

Running is different than walking, kinesthetically. I've had lower body injuries where walking was painful, but running wasn't, docs weren't at all surprised, expected it actually.

Also you're getting everything moving by running. Exercise like this (using the large muscles) also triggers a hormonal shift (I forget the details), and you're triggering some anti-inflammatory processes.

Yep.

This question doesn't address what else these engineers do besides write code.

Who knows how many meetings they're involved in to constrain the crazy from senior management?

What's infuriating, the stock photo of people touching a whale, which I seriously doubt is happening in Dallas?

Capacity like that is the only reason I could think of.

Remote control an Android phone via USB or LAN.

Phone screen displays on desktop in it's own Window. Useful for setting up a phone or just using it at your desk.

Oh, that's a good one. Nice
