This release addresses a security issue (GHSA-7qqc-wrcw-2fj9) and is recommended for all users. Our sincere thank you to the community members who reported this.

CBC is the best way that I’ve found, just need a VPN and an account.

True, but this is just self promotion.

It took me 8 months of looking to finally get interviewed. Luckily, they hired me, otherwise I would probably still be applying.

I agree that the military will always pay up, but you know that the bubble can pop without all companies going under, right? Have you heard of the dot com bubble, for example? There are plenty of those companies around still, and yet, the bubble popped.

To be clear, I’m not claiming this bubble would be identical. All I’m saying is that not all companies would have to go under for it to pop. It’s really the (wealthy) shareholders that get to decide when to pull the money, and that’s what would cause a bubble to pop, not pure revenue. Shareholders want a return on investment, which is something that hasn’t really happened yet (other than the circlejerk between big companies, I suppose).

In the PNW, it’s difficult to get sunny days for large parts of the winter. Plus, the sun in December is only up for like 5 or 6 hours, so if you have an indoor job, it’s likely that you’ll go to it when the sun is down and leave when it’s already dark.

This is the tenth (no joke) cm0002 account that I’m blocking. This has been posted seven times to the threadiverse, and yet, cm0002 felt we needed to see it again, and that it should be posted by another account so that people cannot block them.

It would be one thing if these reposts were done with one account, because then people could actually remove their posts from their own feeds. But cm0002 does not care about giving you the ability to clean your feeds of their posts, so they rotate between dozens of these spammy accounts.

Oh, and they immediately downvote any comments complaining about their behavior, usually without comment or response. They are unable to see that they’re doing anything that some people may not like.

Yeah, someone beat me to it, but it’s on F-Droid

It’s not odd, really. Pixels (unfortunately) have the most hardware level security features of any Android phone at the moment. That’s why they only support Pixel. Graphene is working with an OEM to make their own non-Google device, though. Buying used does not directly support Google, as you stated.

Apple has already sold out iPhone users many times, their whole “we respect your privacy” marketing campaign was just that, a marketing campaign. They still sell your data and/or give it to the feds. You shouldn’t trust any big tech companies, ever.

It needs to crash. If it doesn’t crash soon, things will only get worse and worse for consumers. We’re already over the edge of the cliff (imo), it’s just a matter of how far we have to fall now. If it crashes hard enough, we won’t have to live with “asking AI for permission to use the computing platform”. By the way, an LLM isn’t really capable of that at the moment, and the sooner it crashes, the less likely anything like that will happen.

Have you used Breezy? It’s great.

For me, while I find the duplicate posts annoying (since I tend to go to the “all” section), it’s the fact that they have dozens of accounts that they do this on for no reason that really makes me dislike them. It makes it impossible to block them.

Honestly, as a tech worker who will likely lose their job when it bursts, I hope it happens soon. The sooner it happens, the less devastating it will be. We’ve already gone off of the cliff, now it’s just a matter of how far we’re going to fall

This is the ninth spammy cm0002 account that I’ve now had to block. cm0002 makes the threadiverse seem like it’s got a spam issue (it does, it just happens to be this single user for the most part). I have never once seen a post from any cm0002 account where I thought “wow, I’m sure glad I saw this post again!”

You make it impossible to filter out your spam because you have dozens of accounts that you switch between. I hope that one day, admins of instances realize what you’re doing and blanket ban your accounts for spam.

Note for other users, this was already posted twice to other communities with heavy cross over between the subscribers. It’s cm0002’s classic karma farming (even though that kind of thing shouldn’t matter here).

It’s a grift, nothing more. The execs know this, but they want new yachts.

The seagates seem to continue to be the most unreliable, at least at a glance.

Proof of citizenship is already required to vote. That’s what you’re doing when you register to vote. Then, a secondary validation of a sample of ballots is typically completed to ensure that there isn’t fraud.

Obviously, they’re just trying anything and everything to not lose the midterms, and their voters go rabid over just the mention of voter fraud. I’m just rambling to the void because this new wave of fraud allegations is so fucking stupid and see through.

The point isn’t that it’d fix all of the US’s problems. It would certainly fix one, though.

Duh? That’s literally what a tariff is in this case?

Lund isn’t exactly sane.
