You just convinced me to get proton

Also money, which are just political points in tangible/fungible format

Long story short, people that use it get really used to using it.

It’s kind of wild to think that you could make so much money by making an open-source TV ecosystem.

Or if making money is not your thing, you could acquire so much internet clout by developing it and then publishing it online.

Additionally, if your smart TV requires an internet connection in order to be set up in the first place, use the hotspot on your phone with a new SSID, and set it up, and then change the SSID on your phone.

After that, it should work without an internet connection, and it’ll spend all of its time attempting to connect to an internet connection that is no longer there.

The word trans means across, or on the other side, and gress once again would mean step, so to transgress is basically to cross the line, right?

I did a quick search, but there isn’t really a word to describe the people that don’t cross the line.

The opposite of the prefix trans is the prefix cis, which means “on the same side”

There is an etymology word joke that says something along the lines of, “if “pro” is the opposite of “con”, then is the opposite of “congress” “progress”?”

And if you don’t know etymology, then that seems to make sense.

When you break down the word Congress, you get the prefix con and the root word gress, con means with, and gress means step, so it means to step with or to walk with.

The opposite of walking with someone is to walk apart from someone, so, the actual opposite of congress would be digress, and the opposite of progress would be regress.

Etymology is great at ruining jokes, but it’s also great at helping you understand what words mean and why they mean them.

I think the specific is that 40% of adult Americans can’t read at a seventh grade level.

Probably because they stopped teaching etymology in schools, So now many Americans do not know how to break a word down into its subjugate parts.

One of my co-workers switched to UBlock Lite instead of UBlock Origin and now the ads are back.

Now he’s working on switching to a non-Google browser.

Good job, Google. You have killed Google for yet another former customer.

What’s optimistic about telling a multi-million dollar company that if they don’t operate with principles that I agree with that they won’t get my business?

Yeah, isn’t that what everyone wants?

A website where you talk to people and a robot with no oversight shows up and changes what you say, or silences you, or prevents you from talking to certain people.

At the same time though, I don’t care if billionaires play rock and sock em robots with companies. It just kind of sucks for the people that work at those companies, being tools of a game for rich people to play.

No, I mean by default you are opted out.

Cons wouldn’t use the phrase “single mother working three jobs”.

It’s a level of obvious sarcasm, so obvious that if it weren’t sarcasm, people would rally together to hunt them down like the dogs they are.

This is the kind of shit that happens when you think everybody is stupid except you.

And that’s fine, I’ll just use different browsers until they change their stance.

I am very averse to companies breaking my trust.

Mozilla can win it back by explicitly stating what they are collecting, why they are collecting it, and making opt out the default.

I’m still super waiting for Lady Bird. I cannot wait to give it a try, but it’s gonna be like 2026 before they start rolling out builds for general use.

The thing about open-source software is that if you fork the software, then your fork can have its own rules.

You can even make the fork of the software fully closed source except for the open source software that you used to originally develop it.

You can sell open source software as if it were proprietary.

You can basically do anything you want with it as long as you respect the original source from the code that you have taken.

Once the software is no longer in Mozilla’s hands, then Mozilla’s portion of the license no longer applies.

If I had the space to store it, I would be searching for a second-hand engine and transmission for my 2004.

It’s probably a good time to buy them and then hold on to it for five or seven years until it’s needed. Rebuild it, slap it in, then keep the other one for a rebuild.
