The CTO of the previous company (1000+ employees , multinational) where I worked as an exec right under the CTO had a habit of not being able to keep his hands to himself. He was married but had a taste for men working under him.

Hed beeen around pulling shit for months until i was called in, i met him in person, he immediately started to “just tickle” me, and I reported his ass right away. Internal investigations were had and they fired him.

But not after allowing him as his final act to fire me because I was “not management material”, had nothing to do with me blowing the whistle on him feeling up his employees. The company allowed him to do this because i was now a risk to them.

So the lesson here is to keep your head down, enable abusers, lest you want your career in the shitter

Edit: I fully agree with you, but the way it currently stands it’s impossible to fight back to high level execs

Pretty sure all those industries continue doing all that shit today

Yeah not really either. Remember that these are lying assholes and a lot of the riches he was showing off was rented just to make people think they were uber rich

Yeah, that pert is theuch bigger problem, kids actually look up to him.

My step children’s real father is a big fan of Tate and keeps telling them how awesome he is and how they should follow nhik in his footsteps.

Thankfully, the kids think he’s a loser who abuses women.

Oh thank you, finally. KDE connect has been pretty much useless since its Inception because of these things

Honestly, what did he do wrong? He made crappy cheap music and listened to it using AI and bots. listening to it must have cost him subscription money, so I guess he just listened enough to get the songs popular enough so that other would listen, and they did and everyone made money.

Yeah, it’s all cheap shit but it’s wrong when he does it but totally fine when so many other media companies do it?

Geez, who ever saw this coming since two decades ago?

Not sure which law specifically, but if you receive dictator money tonstar spreading around fake news to influence local elections in favor of said dictator, then I’m sure there are entire books full of laws that they broke.

This shit has been going on for decades now, the lies, the obvious shilling (hello fox news) I hope they rot in jail for life for the hurt they caused.

Yeah, no.

Your body isn’t a simple laptop where you plug out some broken componi, replace that component, and you’re done. There is a reason why even “simple” nurses go through years of training before being able to call themselves nurses.

If it comes to your body, shits complicated, yo!

Everyone should, must have the right to good quality healthcare, but it can’t be from yourself, by yourself. You need a doctor!

Even those trans humanist types that put magnets and such in their bodies are really on the edge with what will and won’t kill you. Add DIY CRISPR sets, which is just the worst thing I’ve ever heard, and you have arecipe for disaster.

Well alright then, that means you have the wrong business model, sucks to be you, NEXT.

Nope

There are other ways they do that, like thrird party cookies, and combining data from many, many sources.

Apps simply CAN’T access those kinds of things unless you allow it. You can check this in the apps permissions on your phone if you’re not sure. If microphone access is allowed, then yeah, they’ll be listening, probably. But remove that permission and you’ll be fine

Are you using 2005 Gentoo or something?

my wife recycles all the plastics we got, because she really wants to try and I just can’t break her heart and tell her how shit it all is.

Or you just get it over with and just switch to Linux altogether

Install Linux, it’s easier, leaner, faster than windows shit, it’s also free, does actual security, and won’t ever spy on you.

Send in the down votes

Sorry, nonsense

People have been dying from heat in droves since decades ago. I recall 10-20 years ago a heatwave that overflowed morgues in France.

Not saying that climate change isn’t real or not disastrous, it is and so much more.

Just that this title is misleading at best

Yeah just… Why? Why all those devices? Why auch a mess?

Snap and systemd are the worst things to happen to Linux. Both in Basic, maybe, not a bad idea but the implementation is horrible

snap

Aaaaaand we’re done here. Fuck snap, no, bad dog!

Carbon capture as a solution where you use power to filter out CO2 from the atmosphere is ONLY a viable strategy if we can make 100% carbon free power.

Until then you’d use 100 CO2 generating power to (after all losees) capture 30 CO2, it’s dumb. If you use a solar powered system instead, you still are losing as now someone else that could have used your solar power is using 100 CO2 while you pull only 30 out…

Once everything runs on CO2 free power, THEN it makes sense to start carbon capture, until then it’s only playfully pretending while making the situation actively worse.

Trees doesn’t work either, they die and release all that carbon back into the atmosphere
