There is no such thing as AI FFS. God I wish this fucking dumbass trend of calling everything fucking AI would die in a fire. IT HASN'T BEEN INVENTED YET
Do what I did. Put an auto responder on your gmail telling everyone to now email you at your protonmail address. You can forward it too. After a few months, kill it.
I'd recommend getting used to iOS. Its presently the only option for anything resembling privacy. Maybe the Librem phone will change that in time but I'm not holding my breath.
for fairly strict gun control and think many US states would fare better with stricter control
And is exactly why your eurotrash countries are turning into third world shitholes and rape capitols. Nice job taking the only means of defending yourself away from the good guys. Typical left wing stupidity
But we must understand that FaceBook is a useful service.
We "must"? No we must not. It has no use other than what mindless twits give to it. The world worked fine before it and will do so after it. There is no fucking "must" here.
A poor guy working at Marriot Hotels was recently canned because he liked a comment on Twitter than the Chinese gov disagreed with. China simply told Marriot, fire the guy or we make things hard on you.
Does your employer do anything with Russia? Do any of your vendors, suppliers, partners? You have a very simplistic view. You don't need to live in those territories, you simply need some remote connection that they can use to apply pressure.
It's everywhere. Even Hacker News has fallen to this. It may even be worse on Hacker News to be honest.
I'm up front about my beliefs. I'm controversial, even an asshole to some people. But I engage in the discussions while the cowards hide in their safe spaces. Sad to see how bad leftists have become that their the literal book burners this time.
In my area, most of the trades guys are in their 50's. Home Depot is now teaching classes for the millenials on how to use a measuring tape and hammer because they've never been exposed to them before.
The problem in the trades is that cheap labor gets the job every time. That means all those meth heads and ex-cons who can't find work elsewhere get picked up to swing a hammer for minimum wage. The quality of the work suffers but since everyone is hiring from the same bottom of the barrel that's what you get. The demand is high but they fill it with illegals rather than kids fresh out of school who 50 years ago would have been all over those jobs.
Your story though can be said of any profession. Every person our age older not in a management role is in danger. People think "wow they are middle age, why aren't they managers, what's wrong with them?" I was a manager, a good one. But I hated it. I'll never do it again unless I start my own business and set my own terms.
Yet they are scourge of society that enabled Trump
Higher approval rating than Obama at this point in his term. Lowest unemployment in 45 years. Highest black employment in history. Yeah a real fucking scourge alright because you don't like his Twitter posts.
Guess what, fuck you. Want to know who the scourge is? Shit lipped ass kissing losers like you having a constant fucking hissy fit over a lost election over a year after the fact. Move on or fuck off. No one cares about your temper tantrum. How the fuck are you not embarrassed for yourself?
I agree. But it's getting even worse now. I read an article the other day, 75% of the page was twitter quotes, like that tells me anything other than some dbag on twitter had an opinion. I see this shit in more and more news articles as if Twitter means dick to anyone.
"Apple isn't sabotaging Spotify and making it crash on Apple devices"
No but they are blocking it from Siri, being the default application and hooking into the OS in any meaningful way, plus signing up ON THE DEVICE costs 30% more than Apple Music for their protection money.
I had both installed, every time I got in my truck Apple Music would come up on bluetooth, even though I like Spotify. It did this every single time I got in the truck until the latest OS update where I could "uninstall" Apple Music.

From everyone but Google I presume.
I've been 100% google free for a little over 2 years now. It's surprisingly easy to do.
Its called the Encyclopedia Dramatica. 20,000 pages of nothing to give a shit about.
Why does all of this "connecting people" shit remind me of the movie Human Centipede?

I took all the geek cred
It makes MITM attacks almost impossible. GG corporate proxy decryption.

Its the ultimate form of cooperation as it requires a team to accomplish. Like the space race.
Socialism isn't cooperation. It's top down authoritarianism. Do it or else.
Everyone, please get off this guys lawn.

Or maybe you're a Russian trying to draw attention of the others to suit you're overlords needs. Or maybe it's Russians all the way down............
Red Scare of 2017-18.
I'm switching to smoke signals. Fucking Natives had it right all along.
Because these people don't believe in laws. Just like Hillary, Obama, Comey, McCabe etc etc etc. They are above the law. You will obey them or else.

Ultimately, you have to trust someone.
No I don't.

I used 30 GB of data last month. I used 12 minutes of call time.

I never got training in those days. I was too busy working myself to death pulling 100 hour weeks. Nothing has changed in SV at all.
