It basically already is because you know most people are just going to lookup a free VPN who has every motive to obtain as much information as possible about the user and sell it.

It’s trying to correlate the rise in popularity of land ownership for residential or recreational purposes in low density places like Wyoming and Montana with a popular TV show rather than the speculation based on future climate predictions.

It seems to be popular with the boomers. I tried the first episode and thought it was really boring and a little bit contrived. All of my older relatives couldn’t stop raving about it at Thanksgiving.

It’s a machine in the locker room where you drop your wet swimming trunks in and it mechanically wrings them out so it dries faster.

Because they (old guys) come out of the pool and put their swimming trunks in the centrifuge things to dry and then they take like an hour to get ready.

A cracked brick wall is more visible than a sinking foundation.

Better make sure people don’t have fun just being amongst themselves, how can we introduce a product that invalidates the traditional social experience?

All of their content is public though, you don’t need to verify your age to watch a Joe Rogan podcast.

Cities skylines 2 is already out so IMO we don’t need more games

If liberalism is a mental disorder than neoliberalism is a new mental disorder that is so bizarre it doesn’t even have a definition yet.

From a business standpoint I’ve noticed these two mindsets prevail:

With paid SaaS, there’s always somebody to blame for missing features or outages. From my POV either way the IT department is getting blamed if a system goes down, and the overconfidence in the vendor to fix all issues timely is not always realistic.

Business leaders have conditioned themselves to being sold something. With open source they still expect a CEO or some figurehead to give a presentation on how the free tool will benefit the company, even though it doesn’t make sense when there’s no incentive to sell.

MAGA when they realize they are part of the collective America and are just as responsible for making it greater as anybody else.

Charts these days mostly seems to mean how many tiktok videos play the song. When I ask people what kind of music they like it’s either “whatever I find on tiktok” or some random niche band I’ve never heard of like Ralph and the Orange Peels.

I guess in a society that is increasingly lonely especially for young people, it’s easy to get dragged into the redneck incel rhetoric. I don’t really know where this activity is taking place but it seems to be everywhere.

Turns out it only works if the population doesn’t believe they want that.

They messed up 10 years ago when for some reason it took ages for Firefox to load compared to Chrome, and sadly it never really recovered the user base even though the performance is vastly improved.

Somebody tried selling me a locked phone on eBay despite listing it as unlocked. The seller refused to be helpful so I filed a claim with eBay, waited the 10 days, eBay sided with me, got a refund and shipped the phone back, waited for the refund to process, then spent $100 more to buy the same device from Amazon.

It saves a ton of time. I’ve worked with clients before and I’ll put a lorem ipsum as a placeholder for text they’re supposed to provide. Then the client will send me a note saying there’s a mistake and the text needs to be in English. If the text is almost close enough to what the client wants, they might actually read it and send edits if you’re lucky.

Oh that setting is super easy to change, just go to run, type in regedit, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then just scroll until you find CLSID-73838-abf83-c758d57-87a90ba, set the value to zero and reboot!

If people could just get hired for the jobs that interest them the most instead of somebody always playing gatekeeper then this would be a non-issue. In fact I’m not even sure it’s a current issue for employers, considering the stock market recently hit an all time high.
