It can help, yes - but a large percentage of the 38 to 49 million modern day slaves still exist in otherwise fully legal businesses.

Fun fact: the majority of people trafficked in the world are for sex purposes, so if you make it far easier to shut down that market, it damages all the other slave markets too

I get that you’re trying to bring awareness or whatever but both comments so far read more like “not worth legalizing sex work when other slaves still exist”

Making something illegal almost never outright stops it

It does make it significantly easier to regulate a market if it’s legal than if it’s not, so the EXTRA illegal shit goes down when markets are legalized

Memes don’t have to be jokes

I used dark reader about a month ago again to see if it worked better

Still failed on too many websites (drop-down and other nested menus appear to be a big issue) and it massively slowed down a lot of sites

Imma try that alternative and see how much better that rolls

I already tried that, thus my frustration. Only so many times you can have them respond in an annoyed manner with that “of course we won’t fuck it up” attitude only for it to be messed up in the same way again

My willingness to creat things for other people.

Less depressingly: the local pizza shop fucked up my order 1 too many times. Faith in them has been destroyed, which sucks cuz they’re a decently priced mom and pop kind of place, but I can only accept a wrong/missing item if I get a refund if it’s not literally half or more of the time I go to your place of business!

We started a business together and after landing our first client together (not one we brought in as a pre existing relationship) we went out drinking to celebrate. We both drank the same stuff, same amounts (and I’ve had far more before), yet I was more fucked than ever, to the point I’m convinced the dude drugged me. I have 0 memory of leaving the bar, going 5 blocks away after calling our ride, gashing my head open (twice), or how I was “so limp I could barely stand let alone walk” none of which sounds like me when I’m drunk at ALL

He also spent that whole time shit talking me to my wife, something he’s previously done to other “friends” he felt were leaving him for significant others

He got reused in the mid 2010s as a very racist meme where people would make him sing some truly heinous shit, actually

Defunctland (I think) did a video on Mac Tonight that mentions it in passing, if you’re curious open a private browsing window and look it up, you can likely find the memes still

Because OSM doesn’t already do that for them? Every edit is saved under your account, as has been said, they don’t need to do any of that

Paranoia that someone doing something that you’re explicitly allowing them to do makes you look silly, you know

It was cool for a while but my area is mostly done, even with expanded quests it was basically “what is the road surface here” and “what kind of power pole is this” exclusively

I also very much hate the incredibly limited areas you’re allowed to download, a 2x2 city block area size limit made me babe to download like 8 map sections desperately for the rural area I live in, and that’s JUST for the housing part. If I want to include the nearby lake and part it’ll be like 3pl0 more

French press is basically the same work as a drip machine, but a different shape. You just heat the water seperately and then pour it and the coffee into the French press, let it sit, press the plunger down, and pour. Actually takes slightly less time than any cheap dropper I’ve used and runs 0 risk of burning the coffee (drip machines like to put heating elements into their bases to keep the pot hot, this can burn the coffee and ruin the flavor, French presses cannot burn coffee because they cannot add heat)

Espresso is finely ground coffee that uses steam pressure to brew (thus why espresso machines are fucking expensive, my mr coffee unit was 80 buck), it’s an involved process (worth learning gif you’ve got 20m to make a cup of coffee every time) but very good if you use beans you like AND you like your coffee flavor strong

Gotta prove there was evidence on the phone in the first place, which would take forensic work to do and be not worth the work in the majority of cases

Plus it would annoy them, and that’s the real goal here

If you haven’t done this and need the same ability IMMEDIATELY: reboot, or just shut down

Every first boot requires pin same as lockdown

Also: set a nonstandard finger in a weird way as your finger unlock if you wanna use that, then theyre likely to fail to get that to work should you not manage to lock it down beforehand

Finally: there are apps that let you use alternate codes/finger unlocks to wipe/encrypt/reboot the device instead, allowing you to pretend to cooperate with the cops up until they realize they got played

smashing printers with baseball bats

I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:

They’re sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.

Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don’t wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.

What the fuck is wrong with printers

Because they found it interesting and wanted to discuss it with people?

Just because it’s low priority doesn’t mean it lacks any interest, we can exist between extremes

Most people would roll their eyes and move on

Quite famously 1% of the community are posters, after all. Who the fuck cares what a normal person would post? OP wanted to

and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

Lol, it’s being upvoted because most of us recognize the sub and it’s pathetic mod and are laughing at being reminded of them, if the comments are anything to go by

this is a website for posting things

Deep, complex reasons

I’ve been pretty happy with my swap to Proton lately, but this makes me nervous.

Not that I hate AI or crypto, but their mail app, the thing they’re known for, is not feature complete on all platforms. I still cannot set or edit filters on mobile, for example.

If your flagship app is missing basic features that users have reported for months but you just keep rolling out new shit, it starts to feel like too much like Google, yakno?

I was learning it (super slowly, thanks ADHD) anyway, but it was when I finally read a 3-sentence long post and could read 90% of it without really thinking about it that I felt I was progressing at all

So of course I haven’t practiced in weeks now, fuuck

And I am not talking about hate from transphobes, fuck those guys

A little self-hate is always nice

don’t understand why I have to accept being called cis.

Because that’s what you are. It’s a statement of fact, not an insult

But why must I suddenly have a name for something I am

Cisgender isn’t a new term. Also, it’s because trans people are actually somewhat accepted now so we need a more mainstream way to reference people who are and are not. Really simple concept

What I do know is that the trans community is, in many cases, so unrelentingly hostile towards cis

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. You’re not the victim here, stop it.

Bottom line for me is; were all human, and that is more a problem than gender. Jealousy, pride, ego, it’s all part of a human and that goes for cis/trans and the lot.

Bullshit. If that were true you wouldn’t care about being called cis.

And I think alot of cis people hate being called that because it’s new and it feels aggressive.

It only feels aggressive to those who have been saying sht like “tranny” with bile in their tone, likely because theyre projecting their intentions.

Can’t wait for someone to smack me down for my opinion

Glad I could help out.
