Nothing different from here on, but it’s not like everyone needs it. Given it acts as a 2nd authentication factor for a lot of services, given that it can be part of an overall data profile for you that gets sold to scammers, it’s worth not slinging out to everyone who asks.

Sure, what’s done is done. My suggestion is just, when presented with the option, don’t.

I mean Trump loves YMCA. That could have just been them being nice by playing a song he likes, even if it is ridiculous. But I guess in the context of the other stuff they did they were trolling him. Someone should have fun with him.

It’s because Trump likes the song. It’s not that deep. Or if it is it doesn’t matter because to Trump it’s just a song that he likes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we fired everybody who could do that.

I would prefer they didn’t do this, but I understand. Storage isn’t without cost. 5 GB is a lot for email actually. It’s probably intended to reduce abuse from bots. We should probably not be using free email anyway.

Don’t be so casual about passing your phone number out. The correct response is “5 GB is plenty for email. It’s probably just to reduce abuse from bots. What’s the big deal?”

An already terrible company treats you terribly? Make the transition rough. Delete old notes, write bugs in scripts, delete admin accounts. Think about what makes your job work, what makes the work work, and figure out what the equivalent of monkey wrenching is for the digital age. Don’t let the bastards get you down.

I could care less that he removed inclusion, if that was all it was. But it got replaced by “innovation”, which coming from a guy who proudly lists his private capital ventures sounds like a dog whistle for figuring out how to fuck over customers.

Bad portents all around.

Euro-rural just hits different.

American rural is usually something like “5 pioneer families started farms along a dirt road here 100 years ago, but the market on corn bottomed out and they mostly sold their plots to housing developers or speculators, and whoever didn’t move out either works at the gas station or in the city an hour and a half away to support the drug habits of the ones that couldn’t find work”.

I don’t figure that’s so, and thank goodness. Some things are still affordable.

😂

Well there’s no code he can insert that will invalidate anyone’s marriage. And his philosophy on tech and privacy is good. I probably wouldn’t invite him to brunch, but I’m okay with his code.

I was ridfing on the idea of “dating” being capitalist because it’s expensive sometimes by implying that sex is cheap.

“Hey baby, why don’t you come upstairs so we can avoid the capitalist machine of going out?”

Hot takes incoming from the Telegraph. Someone lock this guy up in the bottom of a shuttered coalfire plant with a typewriter and an iPhone with only Tumblr and Tinder installed. We may have found a carbon-neutral way to get those turbines turning!

But you did. You did vote for this sir.

Lol actually

The guy who made it has bad beliefs. It’s good software from what I can tell, and free as in speech and free as in beer, but if you use it you get his bad bigot cooties. You have to use free software by certified free range organic non-bigots or it rubs off on you I guess.

It’s just websites. I’m not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That’s what a browser is for.

But at least when I have to write a professional sounding email I can shut off my brain and make the computer cluster do it!
