I agree with you fully, except the last part. Which is just a regional gripe, as to say "apartments" in the States is just as degrading/non-special. So it's interesting that you find specialty in that term when my region is anything but.

That joke kinda sailed over your head there, mate

The only thing play protect has done "for" me lately was remove file access to Poweramp the day after I got it. Fuck Play Protect.

You mean we shouldn't blindly trust random, almost entirely anonymous, users giving out executables to be run on the very same devices we do banking and important life paperwork on? Say it ain't so!

With how Google marched backwards on cloud storage since the turn of the decade, GMail is getting even less promising. Once my wife and I finally move out of here, I'm going 100% self hosted, setting up my own email server, et al

In the same vein, Malicious Life is also good, though Ram is a bit difficult to understand.

I also love Smashing Security and Hacking Humans for the news side of Cyber Security

The thing is though, I don't see how someone like this could even work out.

Like, you hire employee 1, they get frustrated at something overnight. You fire them for being upset. Now you have to fill the seat. Employee 2 is brought on. They get told what happened to the person they replaced. They leave or are fired for having emotion and being human. This repeats ad nauseum.

Has me wondering if ever we'll reach a state where we just have battery packs like backpacks that we just wear as a daily habit, like putting a shirt on. It'll charge up overnight, then go in a sleeve that's machine washable (otherwise ew), and have a half dozen or so PD USB-C ports that we just tap into for phones, smart watches, laptops, etc

I mean, I imagine a primary reason is also that the mainline distros don't use it by default, necessitating one to look for "spins/flavors/whatever" that use it instead.

I've been seeing both recently. I've opted to err on the same side and just make it clear when I'm talking about spinning rust versus solid state.

My wife worked at one. Cash tips are definitely best as they aren't officially taxed, but after taxes the employees do see every cent of digital taxes inside their paychecks. One biweekly paycheck was ~$50 more in tips alone for her. That was while her manager went on extended "medical" leave for an entire month and a half, leaving her, only one month into employment, fielding the lunch rush solo 3-4 days a week.

Also who tf tips at subway?

Those of us who realize the workers tend to be those unable to get anything better, even if they are trying (see: ex-convicts) and understand that $9/hr ain't a living wage
