“Apple does not allow users to back up their data via third-party storage providers.” — don’t know if I agree with that statement. You can back it up locally via iTunes and then sync the folder with whatever provider you want. It’s not as easy but it’s certainly doable. I used to run that way for the longest time before I said fuck it and moved to iCloud.

This is the Bear vs a Strange man all over again and they still don’t get it.

I still want to see an “anything goes” category. Let’s see what the most engineered human is capable of doing. I don’t care what their base or biology was.

Some people just like to watch the world burn. Had a friend that would park next to people out in BFE. I asked them “why” and he said “no real reason, I just like pissing them off”… not really friends with him anymore.

This is the correct answer. Assuming it’s a work owned device, the answer to “can they monitor me?” is always yes.

However, unless you’re constantly tripping their automated alarms, or management has come to them with a productivity issue about you, they’re not gonna do much.

I’m gonna go against the grain here and say no, especially in IT. I’m a hiring manager and I can’t tell you the number of people that are loaded with certs and only understand rote memorization and not actually practical application of topics. I prefer to see the experience and my interview questions actually get into real examples to see your thought process, instead of spitting out a list of facts.

Now, if you don’t have the experience, that can potentially offset things some, but I’ve always found experience and application are key for any of my hires.

Ah Gurren Lagann. I loved how over the top it just kept getting with its scaling.

Kamala called him on it and the media got up in arms over it. Really tells you what you need to know. Vote people! These facists are.

Usually what I’ll do is I’ll recombine the folders into an iso file using mkisofs and then keep the ISO as it keeps all the menus and everything in tact. Later if you want, you can run that ISO through MakeMKV and just rip out an MKV of the main title through. But since I have enough disc space I just rip all my DVDs and BDs to straight ISOs to keep all the menus and extras in tact for later.

You just proved what I was saying though. The thought doesn’t have to be binary. You have a multitude of choices. But the moment you make an action, that is binary. You either do that specific action or not.

That’s an interesting thought. Thinking doesn’t have to be binary, but ultimately an action is: you either do it or you don’t. There could be 5 possible actions (including inaction) but whichever one you choose is a binary action (you either do it, or you don’t)

Can we do the same thing for people who don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom? (I think there was a far side comic with that)

My hope is that a lot of younger Harris supporters haven’t been responding to polls since it just annoys them and the polling has been biased because it’s only older boomers responding.

Crunchyroll. Largest catalog I’ve seen and I don’t have to sail the seas for everything. Also enjoy all the dubs.

Basically why it’s called MAD (mutually assured destruction). You’ll either get the first shot for free, or everyone kills everyone.

I would love to see someone say straight to his face “I’d buy you” “you can’t” “why not? You’re black” and watch him try to reconcile that. Idiot

Cool cool, now realistically, do you have the time, resources and know how to find and contact every owner of every federated instance these comments have made to? Would you be able to deal with the legal resources of any number of jurisdictions to truly test whether that is actually enforceable?

My point basically is that it’s functionally impossible regardless of what the law says, and you should treat your comments and personal information as such that they won’t ever be able to be deleted or scrubbed.

Except that only applies to federated servers that exist in the EU. If your data gets federated out to a country outside of the EU, they don’t have to listen to your whines of GDPR as it’s not enforceable. And given that you could be federated with hundreds of instances across the world, good luck.

I said the same thing with AI scraping. All someone needs is to add their own instance that federates with everyone else and they can scrape data for AI training till their heart’s content.

Aw man and those things are already designed to trap you.

Never understood that. Put the item directly against a part of the box that can still be damaged. I mean I understand it’s easier to toss in an item and cover it up rather than wrapping it but still. You want the item closer to the middle of the box
