I wouldn’t doubt that. I just wanted to pretend for a moment that the thing they’re taking from us would result in the one thing that they seem to fear the most.

With all the employees back in the office, they’ll have plenty of time to hang around the water cooler and discuss all the ways to unionize. Leaving the company is great as an individual, it sends a message. Unionizing helps to restore the balance of power vs rights and is exactly what Amazon doesn’t want. This (IMHO) is how you “F them hard”. Additionally, it’d send a message to the other companies who want to flex on the people who make the company work.
Indent to find an article to back up what I remember and in 2020, a woman was held in contempt of court and jailed for refusing to provide a passcode. The case was later overturned.
Double check this in the state or country you’re in. I recall something from a few years ago where the police could force you to give a swipe pattern and maybe pin since these items are not covered in the same way that a password is.
Cory wrote about this in his essay, "Unpersoned". I’ve been using gmail as a spam catcher for all the sleazy sites you need to register with, but didn’t realize how I’ve made a trap for myself when, for example, my prescriptions need 2 factor authorization via my gmail. This is going to be a hard one to detangle.
I’m with you. Many of “them” want to get violent and are looking for a reason to do so. By throwing a punch, it provides justification for their violent actions. So many folks here indicate that you won’t change somebody unless you fight them, but I’ve read and heard plenty of evidence to the contrary. One quick source is How One Man Convinced 200 Ku Klux Klan Members To Give Up Their Robes. I also heard an interview with a woman who grew up in a cult and how she learned how to “deprogram” people.
I like to think of it a lot like fishing. Once you get a fish on the hook, you can’t just pull hard and bring 'em in. You need to set the hook and then reel them in slowly.
I’m with you generally. The whole boarding experience causes a tremendous amount of anxiety for me to the point that i’d rather drive for anywhere I can get to with a <16 hour drive.
MythBusters had an episode related to airplane boarding. If I remember right, the current scheme is the fastest, but it’s due to the fact that everyone can’t follow the rules.
THE black kid brought a gun to school to shoot his girlfriend for breaking up with him. That really helped to reduce racial stereotypes.

I’m using tailscale (which I hear is just a wrapper for wireguard) and love it.
I came here for this. Thank you!
True. I was referring more to the first part about being fired. After rereading it, the two weren’t “fired”. Although 3 years of probation isn’t nothing, it’s a far cry from what many feel should have been done. The CEO was banned from the industry, which is something.
I’d really be curious to know if the punishment of the CEO & “head of retail operations” provided relief to the people affected by their crime AND was substantial enough to change their behavior.I feel that those items are what the sentencing should be about.
Restic and Borg seem to be the current favorites, but I really like the power and flexibility of Duplicity. I like that I can push to a wide variety of back ends (I’m using the rsync), it can do synchronous or asynchronous encryptions and I like that it can do incremental with timed full backups. I don’t like that it keeps a local cache of index files.
I back up to a Pi 0 with a big local disk and rsync the whole disk to another Pi at a relative’s house over tailscale. I’ve never needed the remote, but it’s there.
I’ve had to do a single directory restore once and it was pretty easy. I was able to restore to a new directory and move only the files that I clobbered.
I’m not disagreeing with you, but your last sentence isn’t correct.
Last year, the former head of the bank’s retail operation was sentenced to three years of probation, while the bank’s former CEO was banned from the industry.
I think you’re spot on. In addition to needing to hand over your passport or state ID, your credit card, your email and phone number, what else would they need to target you?
Imagine if you’re using your airline branded credit card to get free miles or a seat upgrade and they know all your purchase history.
I like your point about the idealists. IMHO, agile has some merits, rooted in psychology. For example, during stand up to say what your plans are for the day. Same for the sprint and quarter. It helps with communication. I don’t like the thing where everything needs to be a deliverable thing. I’ll poke my eyes out if I need to sit through another example of building a skateboard, scooter, bike, truck. Try that example with something real like a bridge or house. It ends up in a lot of throwaway work. Now try doing that in a highly regulated field like government or finance where you really can’t iterate due to oversight and regulatory compliance.
Oops, this turned into a rant. Well at least agile pays the bills. There’s a lot of money to be made in prolonging the problem.
The irony of posting a YouTube link to a comment thread that started with the person looking to degoogle is delicious.
Hello fellow OSM contributor! We’ve been doing driver’s ed at home and while I’m in the passenger seat, I’m poppin’ everything on Street Complete! The kid gets the required behind the wheel hours and I’m contributing to OSM.
OK, so ambivalence. I’m lazy, I can get behind that. Also, I appreciate the work you’re doing. I gave up years ago and am still labeled by my family as “the one who cares too much about things that don’t matter.”
OK, easy solution: don’t open outlook.
Most of the time that I’m in the office, my laptop is closed anyways, you know, for collaboration.
