Been there. Christ, it was hard. But the vet team left us alone for the end. The best of the worst situation, so to speak.
Ten years later and I still tear up at the memory of it.
Knowing I have the same experience coming in the near future sucks. But it’s better than the alternative, I guess…
I’m assuming work and personal?
I’ve done the same for years, but am thinking of making use of the second SIM slot in my personal phone and using profiles to separate everything. Many phones can also use an eSIM, so that’s also an option for multiple numbers.
You appear not to have heard of Google Glass.
As with all my online accounts:
And each has a different email address. I hope adtech loves me. 😁
Sending me news links that are social media posts containing a link to a news article. Especially if it’s from Xitter: no way I’m logging into that place just to see replies.
It tells me that they didn’t read the article and that they expect me to care what the shit posters reacting to the headline think.
Definitely agree. I had zero interest in sculpture until I walked into the Louvre and d’Orsay museums in Paris. I was transfixed by the sculptures there. Specifically the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Rape of Persephone, and the Venus de Milo.
As in staring at each piece for nearly an hour, unable to imagine how the artist got that out of stone. It blew my mind, and the memory of it still does.
I don’t care how good your photos are, or whatever visualisation technology you’re using, nothing - absolutely nothing - compares to standing in the same room as the real thing.
Conversely, being in the same room as the Mona Lisa was unexpectedly disappointing. It’s so small and hard to see with 800 fellow tourists crammed into the viewing room. That probably is better examined online, though seeing it in person is an experience.
The Sistine Chapel is also something worth seeing in person. You can’t judge the scale from photos.
Haha, I recognise myself in OP’s comment, I think. I was soundly downboated for my comment. 😄
Internet points are the objective for some people, regardless of the platform or meaning. I’m usually reluctant to tell someone they’re having fun the wrong way - whatever floats your boat - but I’d much prefer some kind of reputation based on quality rather than the groupthink “hur hur, that made me spit out my drink” system that Reddit and Lemmy use.
But what do I know. I’m just some Internet rando with opaque motives, just like the rest of us.
Edit: For the ideologues spouting the tired “Lemmy doesn’t have karma!” party line, the number alongside your username is what people are taking about, not what we call it. FFS.
Why do people constantly ask this question in this community? I swear this gets asked at least weekly. 🤦🏻♂️
Karma farming isn’t a thing here. Yet people seem happy to groundhog day the hell out of it…
Noticed this today by chance, as I was looking through its settings and found the new entry. This was after I was made to agree to new ToS for that app specifically and had declined to tick the “give us more data” option.
What bugs me about this is that it’s enabled by default.
And I’m in a jurisdiction that requires opt in. I expect they’ve done the analysis and decided that it’ll cost less to pay any fines than it will make them in ad revenue. Just a cost of business.
As they say: if a crime’s punishment is financial, then it’s “legal for a fee.”
Two of my favourites are:
I think it’s the usual “it hasn’t impacted me personally, so how bad can it be” maintaining the status quo at all costs.
Once something happens that they care about, they’ll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become…
Mezzanine is the gold standard for me, but always good to explore and expand.
Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?
This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.
It is.
I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that their consistent advice was to call them so they could take it away to examine instead…
Here we go again.
I dealt with a few CSAM cases in previous jobs and there’s an oddity in UK law: if you even suspect there’s a CSA image - including regular nudes of someone under the age of consent - on a device, it is illegal for you to check.
By opening the image to determine what it is, you are prosecutable. (Not sure if anything has changed since, as this was nearly 10 years ago).
There are many, far better, ways to deal with this issue that don’t destroy relationships and futures.
Thanks for looking into that, and for the reply - this would explain a lot.
Coupled with mlmym issue 104, noting that those settings are always stored client-side in the cookie, it explains what I’m experiencing: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/104
s/country/world/: FTFY
“Think of the children” is somehow the gotcha for so many of the hard-of-thinking amongst us.
Thanks, and for that Issue link. As you say, I expect it’s just nuking the cookie and everything related to it just disappears.
At least it’s on someone’s radar. :)
Edit: I sent a message to support, as suggested by slazer2au, and got a response pointing out that 30 days seems to be hard-coded into mlmym: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/blob/a518844b005179623d0d7a31f45966cd8a6b8a96/routes.go#L794
That and those settings all being stored client-side explains everything. Not sure why those choices were made, but now I know why.
“This is illegal!”
Bung in the post
“This is legal… for a fee!”
If the punishment is a fine, it is targeted at those who can’t afford the brib—I mean fee.
Agree. It’s definitely popcorn hour.
