Fuck Oracle, we use them for our org and holy fuck, slow to respond, hire people that don’t know how to do their job or just don’t do it.

Waste of fucking money and air.

Didn’t it fuck up Linux in an Enterprise env as well though?

Ah yes, another prime example that demonstrates that Lemmy is no different than Reddit. Everyone thinks they are a professional online.

Nothing sensitive should ever lack encryption especially in the hands of a third party company managing your data claiming you are safe and your privacy is protected.

No one is invincible and it’s okay to criticize the apps we hold to high regards. If your are pissed people are shitting on Signal you should be pissed Signal gave people a reason to shit on them.

The website is trash can someone summarize?

I always find it interesting is that the mentality or analogy used is cost of living when infact some billionaires/millionaires have stated they wouldn’t have an issue paying more in taxes. The problem is they just don’t have to and if they don’t have to then they just shrug.

It’s really an issue with the common person as well some people thoroughly believe they shouldn’t have to because they worked long and hard for that money while others, those very rich people, argue that putting them in a higher tax bracket or adjusting the tax they pay on a higher percentage within that bracket is just, “unfair.” Conservatism at it’s finest. I am not really sure what it is with the right wing and people about complaining on paying taxes until it is brought up that, “hey we could make those who make a whole lot more pay a whole lot more cutting what you pay down some.” Then they are up in arms. You either want someone to pay more so you pay less or you just don’t want to pay taxes at all if those involved are “hard working rich people.” But hey, instead let’s complain about how people just don’t want to work anymore or about how young folk just don’t understand the good ole days and how you had to work overtime on jobs with poor safety and life quality issues that forced more work out of you for less. Yeah you are right don’t understand that and how it was legal and why it should be happening now. Why would someone younger feel inclined to pay less and work more. It’s called we aren’t interested in making the same mistakes those same old folk now should have been up in arms about years ago. But then you are met with, "well those were just different times. " Oh, gotcha sooo we should fix it now?

Then there is also a complete misunderstanding of how taxes and the economy works in general. If you genuinely think Biden and one person in office has complete control over the economy I think you also need to consider getting a therapist because you know zero about the way the world functions.

Tax the rich higher. Elon doesn’t give a shit about your hard work and your crop fields or corn dying because the world is getting hotter. So why in the absolute fuck should you give a damn as to whether he pays more money every year to help the rest of the world out. If you are the person who thinks it is silly to do so then please for the love of God leave the rest of us alone that want someone to pay more for you because in the end it should be done.

So if I am seeing this I am good?

The cons should just blame this on Taylor Swift as well.

Who is hexbear? Now I am curious.

All neat,

Pixel sort of does the first one.

All phones basically do the second one.

Goodlock is fucking awesome.

The last one, while cool, could also be unhealthy.

“(on Reddit (/comments/). yuck!)”

Guys, we fucking get it. You hate mainstream apps like reddit but the solutions aren’t on Lemmy until someone finds them elsewhere like reddit.

Do we really need to emphasize our hate for something every damn time we make a post. Thanks for the solution but why couldn’t you have just posted the solution.

God I hate Lemmy, they want a bigger user base to stay away from content controlled by big corps and to move to federated content but will shove their ideals on the community every time and that is what keeps pushing people wanting to stay here away. We don’t need to hear about FOSS and Linux every time. And we get it. We hate reddit that is why the user base moved here.

EDIT: God I love Lemmy.

They don’t, and honestly, Snapchat is what most of Gen Z is using to the point I believe it has even confused Facebook so Facebook has copied Snapchat.

Snapchat also has even more reason to update and appeal to that age group.

It is Lemmy and users on here tend to think they know more because they don’t use something that someone else does.

Not an SO story.

Not to you know brag or anything here guys but I did have 3 people fighting over me once.

2 of them actively ended up sleeping together to try and get me to pick one of them.

I chalk it up to, “pfft it’s because he uses Linux.”

Kidding of course. In all honesty, I had gone through a very confusing breakup. At the time I was sleeping with three people. All of them knew about one another and they all knew I wasn’t looking for anything serious because of the previous breakup. I was also trying to finish school.

All three people were really sweet and I still talk to two of the 3 and they are good people. We were all 4 going through a confusing time in our life. The one I don’t speak to now is married. I wish all of them well.

Also, before you ask. (You won’t but I feel the need to clarify) I am genuinely meh on the attractive scale or so I am told. So I don’t know which black magic was at work but it was a fun and stressful time.

I am reading half of these stories and just appreciating how all three of the people knew about each other and all ended up being chill with one another and me. You all are dealing with some crazy shit.

This is sus…

Are you sure you aren’t a drug?

It’s because they use Linux.

Break into hers next. That will show her.

No that is why she asks Husband #3 to read his name out loud when he is hitting it from behind.

“Do you like me?”

Yes or No

“Look, I know you think I am insane, but let’s be reasonable. Are you sure you don’t want to be with me?”

I have been using Blokada 6 which is a subscription based VPN service. There is a decentralized service called Matrix that lets you run the Fediverse version of Discord called Element.

Element is where I heard of Mullvad and learned more about VPNs and how they work or how most of them operate.

Here is what you need to know if you want a standard VPN that just blocks ads and does the basics there are plenty out there, Blokada 6 being one of the best.

If you are truly concerned and care about your data being encrypted from point to point then there are very few of those. The benefit to Mullvad is it does just this and is tested by it’s users and they are based in Sweden. There is a classification of people o like to call paranoid but those same people genuinely love Mullvad, sooooo. I gave it a shot.

The company doesn’t believe in a subscription model. You pay as you want and go and can even pay for it by mail. Here is what I like. Mullvad offers a browser based on Tor that Tor trusts.

Mullvad will protect you using Open VPN or WireGaurd if you like data encryption on your network work. Not only that it will actively monitor and tell you if you have a DNS leak which is when your DNS isn’t being protected properly and can potentially be seen by your network providers and others. Not only this, it works, it isn’t slow, and it’s encrypted all the way around.

I will be switching to Mullvad permanently once my next Blokada payment comes out.
