Is it? I feel like they’re pretty well known on the Internet.

What else did they think he was going to do with that chainsaw?

Briefly, slightly, yes. Practically speaking, it’s negligible though.

Kinda want, but that price…

Google sure does love killing things people love.

Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon lost one eye and suffered serious injury to the other when a pager he was carrying exploded on Tuesday

It’s literally in the article.

Yes, but you would need to defend your patent and continue to file patents and variations as tech evolves to prevent work-arounds.

I’d argue that this qualifies as enshittification.

No it isn’t: I don’t use SnapChat!

3D Printing: By the time I get home, I just don’t have it in me to tinker around.

Nicotine and I guess drinking (the second one is mostly due to getting old though haha).

Practically speaking, I already do: I told them not to contact me on my cell if they aren’t going to give me a work phone or reimburse me for the cost of a plan then I will not be using my personal phone for work purposes. They can reach me during business hours on my desktop phone, the work messaging system, or a ticket. If anything happens outside of those hours and they want me to do something about it, they better pony up for a plan, overtime hours, or flex hours.

Firing me seems highly unlikely because they agreed to these terms, I am very good at what I do, and they love me. Actual legal protections sound like something everyone should have though, if you’re on call you damn well better get paid for it or it’s wage theft pure and simple.

Ironic…

Once upon a time, long ago, I did it for reddit but they burnt that good will to the ground. Give a corporation an inch and they’ll take as many miles as they can before someone stops them: I block everything now and if it won’t load then I don’t bother with it. If it’s really important I’ll still find a way to view it but never again will I allow ads anywhere I can help it. Advertisements are a very serious threat to security and privacy. Malware and scams are routine in ads, even ads from known corporations that are supposedly safe, like Google.

Let’s DuckDuckGOOOOOOO!

“Where we’re going, we don’t need eyes.”

I look forward to skating or riding to work most days, but some days I struggle to find motivation.

Oh, also coffee.

Not really these days but I used to do Muay Thai until I ran out of money for training. Did a couple types of Karate and some TKD as a kid as well. My skills are relatively basic though, I was always kind of a middling student. I could probably still hold my own in a fight against your average person but anyone who really knows what they’re doing would probably smoke me in short order.

I stand by my statement, I liked it but it wasn’t amazing. To each their own I guess.
