Too bad the applications were written on COBOL while I was in high school (Some sarcasm). Even to enter my time I have to use the old school IE browser because Edge can’t render the site properly and it has to be virtualized because windows 10 can’t launch it correctly once something works corporations are slow to change we’d have to get new apps made tested and then internally reviewed then issue new devices and see pushback from older employees who always sabotage new device and software launches. There’s a woman still working on a Windows 98 machine that has to be air-gapped and manually brought emails and files by hand because she threatens to quite if she is forced to update (She does have an obscure PHD and makes the company tons of money with her analysis work so they appease her)

Yeah but it took the two strongest motivators in life to get me to do anything. The will to live and procreate had my father not threatened me and if I had never met my wife I wouldn’t be where I am. I spent more time my first year of college researching VA disability and unemployment benefits than I did studying.

Dogecoin gonna moon

They definitely don’t I work with 21 years olds fresh out of college that have no idea how to navigate file systems they are fine on iPads or phones but clueless on an actual computer.

I wouldn’t consider it bleak I consider myself lazy I think it’s part of being human to be like water and go the path of least resistance. I was a loser until my dad put a shotgun in my face and said I was joining the Marine Corp went to college after to smoke weed and party met my wife there and only by wanting to get laid did I start getting good grades and applying to internships to keep her impressed started out in consulting in the late 90s hated every minute of it but after having kids and wanting nothing but the best for them I went for promotions worked around the clock and made partner 11 years later. Most people I talk to are the same way we hate work but have some sort of golden handcuff that keeps them going. I’d much rather just do nothing and if circumstances were different I’d be doing nothing and be happy I’m happy now as well but the cost of this happiness is much higher.

Copy and paste is restricted to keyboard commands last time I tried plus if I’m managing an IT department I want near certainty that O365 or GSUITE will work with every update and patch Chrome and Edge basically guarantee that while Firefox’s development team lack the ability to see future changes to the software and have less motivation to do so as it’s not their product.

Cowboy you get to live a normal life in modern times compared to the other two. A modern day pirate is a shitty 3rd world existence and a samurai means being in Japan. I’ll take Cowboy with a loving wife and kids raising cattle and in the evenings getting to stream 4K content with Starlink on my OLED tv eating amazing BBQ anyday.

Uh yes it was?

“You think 150 million people in this country are just too lazy to make ends meet?”

To which I replied yes with some caveats as your statement is too broad and meant to steer a conversation into a specific direction without addressing other issues that do a disservice to mentally disabled or handicapped people that are perceived as being lazy when they typically are harder working in my experience.

Some of them yes others may not have the intellectual/mental capability or physical issues that prevent it as well. Most people who want and work to get out of poverty will get to the lower middle class which is a better life than 99% of humans have ever had.

Easy I see and interact with lazy people everyday who abuse the system and refuse to try to better themselves I have had to the best of my knowledge zero interaction with the richest people of the world in my life. People see what’s right in front of them as the issue even if it’s not.

I’m really hoping this doesn’t make it into Brave their teams has removed a lot of Google crap in the past. Mullvad’s fork of Firefox can always replace them.

Imagine if I could take my landline phone anywhere without needing to plug it into a phone jack.

I like that you can see both upvotes and downvotes. I always deleted anything on Reddit that went below one karma here I don’t have that urge as I feel at least one person agrees and I feel like I can be my true self instead of always conforming to the sub.

This is awesome so many uses I never even considered.

I have it blocked in NextDNS haven’t seen any issues in 4 years without it. Blocking ntp.org has definitely caused issues especially with IOT devices.

It’s probably NTP a lot of banking apps have extra protections and if it can’t determine the time from its own trusted authority it may not allow the connection.

I was being sarcastic too

Or that’s exactly why they do this type of shit so we think they can’t never discount the 4D chess angle.

Any system has to give a group of people some authority to keep order the crazies will eventually work their way in and ruin it.

Narwhal on IOS is still going I just keep it to see how long it lasts zero chance I get the official app.
