LOL 😂 the irony in that statement is thick enough to stick a spoon vertically in it and have it remain standing.
Regressives fear becoming the subject of the hatreds they spew out against others who are not white, cis, male, and Christian. Which is why conservatism is an evil ideology best left in the dustbin of history.
For sure, that is also one hell of a run-on sentence in that main block of text. Dude could do with some proper punctuation.
The lack of an apostrophe for “Can see you’re logged in” is unreasonably irritating to this grammatical pedant.
Most of America (all but 7 states) and all of Canada are one-party jurisdictions. That means you can record conversations without anyone else knowing so long as you are a primary participant in said conversation.
If you have an iPhone (which prevents calls from being recorded as a security feature), it helps to invest in a small digital recorder and to take all calls on speakerphone.
If you take communications through apps like Teams or Slack, there are third-party apps that can screen record your entire monitor such that the other person won’t be informed of the recording. Recording through teams, for example, would have Teams tell the other person that the screen is being recorded.
Don’t just record convos that you think might be important. Record all calls just in case someone does something particularly in your favour, such as asking an illegal question.
I once interviewed for a job, was accepted, then showed up on my first day only to find out that the position had been given to someone else.
And with written proof of acceptance, any employment lawyer worth their degree could have gotten you a healthy amount of compensation even after their cut. Behaviour like this by any company is illegal in almost all jurisdictions, and should never be tolerated.
Great summary.
Legally they cannot.
gender supremacists:
“Hold my beer and watch me do exactly that. Again and again and again without any censure or pushback, purely because I am being a gender bigot against men, and for no other reason. We have full societal and legal ability to employ open misandry, because opposition of any kind is misogyny by default.”
domestic violence happens to men too.
71% of non-reciprocal (only one person being abusive) physically violent (actually striking) domestic violence involves women striking men.
As in, 71% of those victims are men.
And under those same conditions (non-reciprocal physically violent DV), two-thirds of victims that were injured seriously enough to require hospitalization were men, yet almost 100% were also arrested as the “perps”, even though they were the only victims.
Losts of people have problems with these facts. Wild how bad anti-reality ideological indoctrination has gotten.
There are fake job postings.
IIRC, there was one very recent (mid-2024) study of job ads that strongly suggested that 60-75% of them were never meant to be filled. As in, the company posted them for entirely unrelated reasons.
It’s why these are called “ghost jobs”: they don’t exist.
Next: move minimum wages in-line to what they would have been had they been locked to productivity gains since 1970.
Hint: $30+/hr.
Better yet: lock minimum wage to being no less than 3× median rent for any one region
This is on my iPhone.
In-app mic mute is limited to that app.
Muting the mic through the iPhone control panel mutes the mic across the entire phone.
It’s all dependent on the locus of control. An app does not control the mic across all apps, it only controls the mic within itself. The iPhone control panel, however, is the absolute master control: it controls the mic before any app.
If someone owns a billion dollar company (based on the price of their shares of stock) we call them a billionaire but they might not have very much money in cash (say a few million).
The moment shares are used as a source of value to leverage, they should be taxed on that assessed value. Because this is also how so many of the wealthy can get away with “$0 income” - they are “paid” in shares, then turn around and use those shares to get loans from the bank to pay their living expenses. They essentially leverage shares for tax-free income.
If any and all leverage on shares are taxed on that assessed leverage, the Parasite Class would no longer have any way to shield their obscene wealth from taxation.
It’s a common case for most users.
I have done it before: on a Signal audio call between multiple people, and had to do a really quick look-up while my hands were busy. Put the call on mute, flipped over to my browser, hit the “speech to text” icon below the keyboard and verbally put in my query.
With a global microphone shut-off, I couldn’t have done a speech-to-text Google query while being muted on a call.
Fine-grained control like this exists because being limited to a global mute is fundamentally hostile usability where multiple apps can be used at (mostly) the same time.
Think of it another way: does your house have light switches in every room, or do you turn all your lights on or off by going to the electrical panel and toggling the master switch for the whole house?
You’re complaining about “why are there light switches in every room when the electrical panel has this one, big, fat switch at the very top that turns everything off.” Yes, your complaint is exactly like this.
Yup. iOS mute is like a hardware mute (not really, but the “reach” is the same) in that it mutes for everything, everywhere on the phone. Meet mute is only for that program.
Right, my bad. I read TCP/IP. It’s still early.
🤣🤣🤣 Quite alright. It’s 5AM somewhere on the planet, no?
I believe that makes you older than Arpanet, which is what I was really asking.
If you had asked me if I was older than Arpanet, then no. It first came online a few short years before I was born.
Even though the “IP” in TCP/IP came four years after TCP, the introduction of TCP is frequently cited as the “birth of modern networking”, and as such, the Internet.
But are you older than token ring?
Considering that token ring was first released by IBM almost exactly a decade after TCP (which I was very specific about - TCP specifically, not TCP/IP), then I would most definitely say yes, I am very much older than token ring.
Token ring was introduced as a low-cost networking option for smaller offices that did not require the use of (at the time) fiendishly expensive switching and routing equipment. If you wanted to hook a bunch of machines together into a network and had no need for external access, you quite literally needed only the cabling and the cards that were installed in the computers. No hubs. No switches. Nothing else.
Of course, using token ring also allowed techs to engage in shenanigans such as - when the ring was broken in some way - getting a junior tech to crawl around on the floor looking for the break and the token that fell out of it, to stuff it back into the cable. Sometimes we even did that with particularly difficult customers.
You know class when you can utilize whilst properly and without ridicule or irony.
I am two years older than TCP.
I am quite literally older than the Internet.
One of the really popular subs - with hundreds of posts per day - cracked down on bots and nothing was posted for two days afterwards. Can’t recall which sub it was, It was WholesomeMemes. I caught wind of that a few days later and it was truly a ghost town. Even now they’ve only got something like 5% of their pre-bot-ban traffic back - about 4-6 posts a day.
The sentence requires the contraction of “you are”, which contracts down to “you’re”. The apostrophe is still missing even if a different and grammatically wrong word was used.
