Because it's pending exposure.

Now if you found a way to turn around and earn interest or earn extra with that money...now you're cooking with gas. Just make sure the earnings are worth the relative risk, and that you hedge against that risk.

Yeah, my boss expects that. He's been at the same company for almost 20 years, since the department was created.

He also gave me a 3% raise this year. It's nice to get cost of living, but why would I try to invest in a workplace where I know I'll be able to make more and more elsewhere every year.

Hey, I'd just use VPN anyways. I sure as shit didn't trust spectrum not to sell my data.

Because Facebook is the posterchild for anticompetitive evil corporations.

They're doing this because it will help them monopolize more content or more users. By nature, that will be harmful to the fediverse.

Its Texas lol. Our government prides itself on having no empathy or compassion whatsoever.

See the list of executed juvenile offenders before the federal government made it illegal:

Or the time the state was in contempt of court for years because they didn't want to revise the excessively cruel CPS system.

You should understand what they are on a fundamental level. Otherwise someone will say "we need to fix the mentally unwell kids shooting up schools problem" and everyone will jump on board to make lightsabers and airsoft illegal.

I don't know about the underlying technology, but every client I've used for the past couple decades supported groups.

However, they absolutely sucked. There was no way to leave. Unless someone made a new group without you and everyone used that, you'd keep getting messages.

It is, but android Roms with good privacy features are relatively few and far between.

Iirc it was mostly a stupid driver with improper tires on terrain that didn't quite look as bad as it actually was.

The cybertruck doesn't have differentials at all, so it shouldn't need locking diff's.

The entire point of having differentials is to make sure the power from the engine isn't being misdirected to a wheel with no traction, but the cybertruck has independent motors for each wheel.

Yes. We shoot people for accelerating from a stoplight too fast here.

The difference between the two largely becomes academic after a certain point. Impoverished masses toiling in exchange for minimal benefits so that an oligarchy can strip the nation's economy dry.

It's almost like we can't blindly trust people in power or something.

Honestly I just keep mine on airplane mode. Calibre was always a much better management tool, and libgen isn't nearly as creepy.
