Ecco the dolphin

Do you not charge it when you sleep? I don’t even have to charge mine every day because it’s pretty new and I’m barely on it. And I use GrapheneOS so it’s debloated.

I have to sign in to 2-5 programs to complete service for customers

I use shared terminals so I have to sign out when I am done

Each task takes about 3-4 minutes of computer work, feels like most of my time spent is typing in a 15 character password in 2-5 programs. I do this all day, 8hr shift, graveyards.

I just change a single digit number on this password when the 90 day rotation happens. Typing it in incorrectly 3 times gets me locked out, a call to IT. I work for tips, no time for that. My work environment is distracting, noisy and stressful, so even if I wanted to use “best practices” in choosing passwords, I really shouldn’t.

Management refuses to replace keyboards that aren’t in good repair. Several have keys that stick.

I type in a 15-char password probably 100+ times a day.

my phone is dead for 2fa

Lmao skill issue

The fediverse isn’t ready for this level of sarcasm. Look at those downvotes, lmao.

I do believe that in order to achieve welfare/prosperity, not all the people have to work. And I do believe that there are more important things in life than working. I’d love to be a stay at home dad, but I can’t.

Being a stay at home dad is work. Raising children is necessary work that capitalism requires, because it requires laborers. We have engineered a system in which this work is uncompensated, and if you gender this work, it causes gendered oppression.

I will also point out that in America we have decided that unless you have a “job”, society has decided that you pretty much don’t deserve health care. Anyone who chooses a life of domestic labor in America puts themselves in a position where they are financially dependent on their spouse and their spouse’s employment status. It doesn’t have to be this way. We have forged these chains.

Whether doubling the workforce is a good thing - that I’d keep up for a debate.

If we had more workers, it could be that we wouldn’t need those workers to work as long. Earlier retirement, shorter work weeks, whatever. The issue is not the size of the work force, the issue is what is chosen to be done with it.

Are you trying to imply doubling the available workforce is not good? Its usually a good thing. While their motivations are cynical, those leaders are doing good.

…or are you trying to imply that keeping women out of the traditional work force (by only allowing them to work unpaid in the home in domestic servitude, labor that capital does not value) increases the value of male labor through scarcity, which would be preferred?

Sorry that second question kind of reads as an attack. A shitty coworker of mine said that to me unironically and tried to play it off as a joke when I pushed back.

For what it’s worth, they have their domain back. It seems from a skim from the front page they’re just deciding how to refederate (allow list or block list, basically they are trying to decide if they will automatically federate with new instances).

At the time of writing this comment the votes are close and allow list is winning (many commenters don’t want to federate with new instances unless they are approved).

We can reject the null hypothesis that you are not a nerd at significance $\alpha < 0.001$.

oh wait, shit let me run that again, my data frame is full of NA somehow, again.

This is how I do it. I don’t recommend roku though, its covered in ads and it crashes sometimes and requires reboot (Amazon app, not jellyfin)

I’m not purchasing another.

Yes I have a pihole for the ads. The thing is always trying to radio home.

Trump’s terrible politics aside:

1. the Republican party is pushing legislation which requires you to identify yourself to view porn

2. you can get around this with a VPN

3. proton is a VPN (nonprofit, but still).

I’ll be switching email providers when I can… I can’t remember when my subscription ends.

Thank you. That answers my question. I figured you wanted to remain anonymous, but I liked your answer and I’ll be interested in what you find.

I was trying to word my initial post in a way to prevent you from becoming defensive, perhaps I failed. Though, I do feel quoting yourself is a bit… gauche, no? Especially since you are remaining anonymous.

Are you a single person or a group of people? Do you have any credentials that you’d like to share that might give some context to your research?

Where is the quote in your bio from?

I’m not touting apple. Its just a fact.Graphene has you check boxes so you know you’re giving permissions to your car. It informs you what information you’re giving to android auto. And, if you’ve installed apps through alternate sources, you do have to go through developer mode in Android Auto to enable apps from alternative sources. It takes less than 5 mins and you only have to do it once, but if you don’t, you’ll end up thinking android auto is broken in graphene, like the poster I was responding to believed.

I don’t think there is a better solution for graphene - it works fine after minimal setup. I’d gladly do that to preserve my privacy when it matters.

Apple doesn’t give a shit about informing you what it does with your info so it doesn’t do that. I’m not saying its better I’m just being honest. Its quick and dirty.

Android auto also works fine for me. I haven’t used an android phone in years so I can only compair it to apple car play. There are extra configuration steps to make it work but its not hard (just have to read some messages and go through some menus)

Apple car play “just works”.

There’s a newer article on the website about this person getting booted(?) off Privex because one of their business partners found Privex’s response to this writer objectionable. Here is the other article. From just what this person chose to post, it seems they host loli/shota content (drawings). Uurg.

(I did not do any further research than skim the articles he put on his site).

The research itself is… a nice resource. But… if you thought the image the blog writer chose for his article was a red flag, your instincts were good.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, that makes a lot of sense.

I haven’t switched to Wayland yet. It makes sense why xscreensaver wouldn’t work well with an entirely different window server. I was just surprised it was so difficult (for me at least) to use with modern window managers despite being relevant and mature, haha.

I tried Linux briefly in highschool (around the year 2000) before going back to Windows (I love video games). I switched about 2 years ago back to Linux (Debian). Your comment made me remember xscreensaver and I went and installed it again. The matrix screensaver is a huge throwback, I love it and I missed it.

But it was a pain to do this. I’m using KDE/Plasma on Debian, and I had to follow this process to get it done. My lock buttons built into KDE menus still don’t work despite replacing kscreenlocker_greet like the manpage recommends. I’m not sure it’s worth my time to try to figure out, since the page warns an update will revert this. I’m not going to remember how to fix it later. I choose to lock my computer with super+L so this isn’t a huge issue for me.

The process to use xscreensaver with gnome looks equally bad.

WHY is this so tough, though? Debian “just works” for me, so needing to fumble through this manpage feels pretty lame. The process looks similar on other distros, from a quick google. I’m not an IT person or a programmer, and this doesn’t feel very “linux” that it’s this way. Why would these window managers replace something that just works?

I suppose it does look a bit dated?
