Ive had to start putting ublock origin on cuatomers systems by default. The web has become a far worse cesspool for scams than what it was a few years ago. The ads blend in with real content. The internet is a shit hole now.

You made it to main page.

Scum bags everywhere. Time to go back to private hosted BBS.

Just saying, if I saw you on the street, you would catch my eye. Natural beauty. The smoking is kind of hot too, and I'm not even in to that. Be well.

In this case, yes. NAFTA screws the average American and boosts the stock market which pur government is beholden to. The net effect around the globe is more exploitation for all.

I joined the auto industry around 5 years ago. It blew my mind to some extent to be made aware that some ~25 years later, the effects of NAFTA are still to be fully realized. I had assumed that enough time had passed that any economic rebalancing would have been complete.

The potential is there and ripe for industry to whole cloth make the move to Mexico. My company for one is rumored to have an unwritten rule that they don't do new construction in the US, despite being a US based company.

Only a few crown jewel US locations are really well managed and supported.

I could seriously eat this every meal every day.

What year is this?

Same for me. My company talks a big game, but is bad at audits or detection for authorized devices / unauthorized access.

I wiped my work pc and ran linux daily for a year. Remina for remote management was far better than the native RDP client in Windows. Web based outlook got the job done. Teams app in Windows is just reskinned chrome anyhow. Works just as good in a browser. Had a remote box set up for any thing that absolutely required Windows.

I seriously was thinking the other day I need to see if newsgroups we're still a thing. It was so cool being able to dial up, refresh the threads and then read offline at any time without having to refresh or navigate multiple 20mb web pages.... That meme the other day about scraping got me jonesing for barbones simplicity.
