Very good post, this guy gets it!

Holy… Are you me? Haha

Solo IT, very outdated, uh, everything. Spent the last few years updating, upgrading, modernizing, etc. We’ve come a long way! I can conformably take a vacation without sweating out having my stuff at arm’s length.

Message me if you want to share more, bc my list is far too long.

No usually teacher’s salaries are from local city taxes whereas ICE is federal.

Maybe as a network scanner, because I know for “high accuracy” Android, for example, scans GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth in combination to help determine better accuracy of location. If it picks up a store WiFi it’s going to know you’re within 100ft. Or some car has a built-in hotspot that either found. Not 100%sure without looking into it further, just speculation.

The gas prices are bullshit and nothing more than a ripoff. In 2001 with the “war” in Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, it didn’t get this bad. Same with 2008 market crash and 2022 with Covid. Check the charts-especially Monthly Avg Domestic Crude

Well, it’s also kind of shitty teacher pay is based on taxpayer contribution! I get it, publicly funded locally vs federally for ICE, also idk how bad ICE pay was before Trump.

Noice!!

This has been posted a lot. GOOD LUCK.

Another law passed by those who are clueless about what they’re doing!

Ah, good catch. Well it’s too bad.

Do you have a reading mode button at the top? I just enable reading mode (But in Waterfox) and it starts to function without paywalls or popups.

Yeah someone just pointed that out, my brain wasn’t working right haha

Smh, you’re right. I use my “Jump to Conclusions” mat apparently and my brain went right to remaster.

Right?! Meta’s valued at 1.5T… So 0.025%

If someone makes $100k, that’s an equivalent of a $25 fine.

Remade remake? Though I suppose MCC was about 12 years ago 😵 which I think was a 10 year anniversary for Halo 2… How did we get SO OLD?!

Ohhh OK! My bad, I misinterpreted that as excitement not alertedness.

I’ve been deGoogling things at home already, and. DeMicrosofting as much as one can at home and work too. I’ve been relying heavily on Non-US tech a lot lately and got to alleviate some additional issues, by migrating away.

It’s really worrisome to think about the worsened mass surveillance than what it already is.

Wants privacy and security, posts in GitHub lol. Jk sort of. In all seriousness, it’s an interesting project I’m going to check out. Thanks for the hard work.

Edit: fixed your link https://github.com/pablo-chacon/the-substrate

Keep dreaming! Chrome OS and Chromebooks in general are nearly as expensive as actual windows PCs with 5%the functionality. Just go straight up Linux at that point!! Free, open source, EASY to install or dual boot even. It is far better than anything Google would put out.

If you’ve never tried it, follow any one of the million guides for Ubuntu or Mint and you’ll be amazed. Even Steam OS, CachyOS, ZorinOS, or other gaming oriented systems.

I forget this isn’t the privacy thread, but you can’t just “hope” Google’s going to fix everything wrong with Windows when they’re doing the same exact thing as each other. You want to break free, you want functional, you want privacy, get Linux.

Gross, combining Chrome OS with Android? NO thanks! Another OS to harvest data to the max! “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” does not apply to Google at this point.

I’m not saying you’re an asshat nor do I think you came across that way! Thanks for being civil at the very least and adding to a debate without getting heated. It’s nice to have a great discussion!

Touché. Again, just playing devil’s advocate for this topic, having lived both sides. More so it’s easy to be dismissive of something one does not understand.
