Oof. An always online terminal with an AI that does who knows what with the things you type? I don't think so.

Also, Open Sourcing the client but not the server seems like marketing at best.

A quick Wikipedia also says that they basically run on investor money. Including Sam Altman and Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn who had three massive data breaches in as many years.

That's a hard pass for me.

It does look beautiful though

And if not illegal, definitely unethical

I'm using chrome on phone, because it's basically part of the operating system, but I did like Fennec. It's a fork of Firefox mobile with a few more privacy features (or so they advertise)

This is the way.

An employee's work is what you pay for, their loyalty has to be earned

I don't want to be too "we live in a society" but I noticed that - since I'm a man / was a boy - people in care giving roles usually assumed I want to prove myself. Because All Boys™ want to prove themselves all of the time. So it's good to be as adversarial as possible, actually. To grow their character.

Regarding her generation and type of character, I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that she thought she was actually doing me a favor. Also she co-taught our class with another teacher who quite openly disliked boys in general and me in particular. Which was probably also a factor.

Well to be fair, if she and others hadn't shown me how ridiculous this kind of hierarchical thinking is, I wouldn't have been angry enough to quit all the jobs and relationships I didn't feel appreciated at. So I kinda wouldn't be who I am without it. But I still wish I didn't have to be who I am to get by.

I've always had bad grades, so for that one test my mom studied very hard with me. After grades were given back, my teacher came up to me and literally said that the performance was worthy of a 2 (B) but she's given me a 4 (D) again, to motivate me.

Needless to say, motivation was not achieved.

Furthermore, it's one of the core experiences that led me to mentally check out of the school system eventually and still fuels my distrust of authorities and institutions to this day, almost 20 years later. Well done Frau Bauer.

The German word for salmon is "Lachs" but it's pronounced "Lax". I wonder who had the word first

My grandpa is Kurt Cobain, my other grandpa is Tony Hawk, I get recognized wherever I go

My Mother is the first type, my Fiancee is the second. "Cobbler, stick to your last" as we say in Germany. Though I'm much better with asking questions than telling someone to get to the point.

This just in: A Florida man says not hitting himself in the face helped him end his chronic jaw pain. More at eight.

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine, that spies on you every hour of every day.
