  • As part of the eternal September myself, we didn't just use AOL disks as coasters, we used them for awesome pranks like filling eachother's cars to the brim with them. It was truly astonishing how many of those disks were around.

  • Let's not defederate from every corporate player. Some of them can probably respect reasonable rules of civility.

    But fuck Meta. We already know how this plays out.

    We know there's a huge wave of hatred and misinformation incoming. We've seen it on their other platforms.

  • Yeah. I'll switch to an instance that is defederated from Threads, if mine doesn't.

    I left Meta's other properties to avoid state sponsored hate speech. I won't use a platform that gives hate speech a platform.

    I don't need to wait to know if Meta will do that. I already know.

  • Yep. And I'm saying that when he gets better at it, he will call them, ask them to grab lunch, and openly say at the start of lunch "I'm buying because there's this thing I might want to hire you for, and I want to talk about it during lunch".

    I've head-hunted people over the course of five years, myself. But they knew it, because I bought them lunch at least once per year to talk about how I'm a fan of their work.

    This dude is likely to be disappointed because while he's been thinking about job fit for 5 years, his ideal candidate hasn't thought about him at all.

  • "... And the person doesn't even know..." This dude is bad at this.

    Y'all, if you work in my field and I buy you lunch, it's because I'm trying to hire you.

    But you won't have to wonder. I'll start the conversation with something subtle, like "I'm buying today because I'm trying to hire you."

    It...uh...works. Really well. Stay tuned for more insightful tips, I guess.

  • If you're interested in that level of control, it's time to look hard at GrapheneOS. "Internet" is a permission you can grant or deny for each app, under GrapheneOS.

    But I'm not aware of a way to selectively direct phone traffic through Proton VPN, at the phone. Even on GrapheneOS.

    Enough skill with an expensive router could do it, but only on your home network, or only while routing all of your phone traffic back to your home network via yet another VPN.

    Edit: TIL, Proton VPN supports split tunneling. Sweet! Look under Settings - Advanced - Split Tunneling - then pick your apps to include/exclude.

    Edit 2: TIL DivestOS also supports "Internet" as a per app Permission. Very cool.
