Yeah I learned this first hand in Ontario. I refuse to ride on the road in that province and only ride on sidewalks. When I get questioned by police I cite my right to not follow law that puts me in danger. I found out after following the road laws and being struck by a truckhole with an attitude that OPP will not do shit if you get hit because as a cyclist you are uninsured. Unless you die, its a 'collision' with an uninsured vehicle taking the only damage in their eyes.
I have a gloriously reduced monthly subscription footprint and application footprint because of all the motherfuckers that tied ChatGPT or other AI into their garbage and updated their terms to say they were going to scan my private data with AI.
And, even if they pull it, I don't think I'll ever go back. No more cloud drives, no more 'apps'. Webpages and local files on a file share I own and host.
When I got into computers the tech that trained me in my first coop placement in high school told me, on day one, "Anyone who ever tells you they know everything about computers is an idiot."
Still resonates with me today and I always tell juniors the same.
Not really, and I'm over it. Couldnt really get people to move away from Meta products either. I just do what is best for me and my family's privacy without waiting for all my friends to join me. Plenty of cool people here.
How about freedom to live in a quiet neighbourhood and sleep without a ton of noise and excessive light glaring through your windows?
I love Christmas lights but there is a line of respect for your neighbours and no one has the right to just do whatever they want without regard for others. A truly free society means balancing your freedoms with respect.
Yeah I'm thinking about fuse filesystems and hotplugged USB keys though. There was a time when the feedback about devices being ready to unplug was bad for users.
This answer suffered the fog of time. Never needed it with the unmount command.
This bugged me but then again
30 / 3 = 10 21 / 3 = 7
7+10 = 17
So yeah that makes perfect sense.
