I don't believe that there are any studies that have shown that acting out fantasies in virtual spaces will reduce actions being taken out on real people.

Since it seems like your argument rests on that, do you have anything you can reference to back up the claim?

Right! Mine would think it was a game to catch and eat my hands!

I find it interesting that you oppose this bill because it would make your life harder, which you plan to pass onto your workers.

How much better of a life exactly do you deserve for being the "boss"?

Base pay has to be the same. You get merit based raised after that. How will they know who's better and who's worse at first? They won't that's why base pay is equal for everyone.

Some employees have so much experience or other skills that they can immediately ask for a higher base pay but it's not the average experience.

Now, I am hoping I am not the only one in this community who has realized that privacy should be one of the top considerations when choosing what software to use on any device.

Leaving Reddit has been the catalyst for me to realize this, as silly as that might sound, and now I have to re-evaluate my list of "convenient" apps that are in NO WAY secure or private.

I want to ask everyone here if they have any recommendations for essentially replacement applications for all of the major categories of software that we use on our computers and mobile devices.

For example, here are some of the switches I made today: Chrome Mobile > Opera Mobile Chrome Desktop > Opera Desktop Facebook Messenger > Signal Facebook Social Media > No alternative just deleted it.

My hope with this post is that we can have a discussion on privacy apps in general as trying to track down information for each sector one by one and test each out can be arduous.

To kick off the discussion here are some other categories that I have not figured out an answer for yet:

Search Engines (duckduckgo is mentioned a lot, why?) Operating Systems Cloud Storage Email Providers Podcasts Video/Music Services (Youtube, Paid services, etc) Environment Specific advice for Android, iOS, and any others.

Also if it makes sense, should we consider privacy when choosing, say, a news website to frequent? Or would browser choice ultimately be the decider there.

Well in my case I very rarely have ever posted on Reddit but I made a post on here that got nearly 100 comments on it, and it's the only one I've made on here. I think the engagement in some areas might be better than reddit

Honestly, an emoji button should probably make its way into the standard keyboard layout very soon with how prevalent it's use had become

I actually hadn't clicked the clipboard tab yet to see the extent of that tool, so thank you for pointing that out. That might actually be the most useful part of this tool so far

I am posting this because I am ashamed I just found out it existed, and I thought I would subject the rest of my Beehaw friends to the same experience! 😁

The instructions are super simple, Windows Key + . (period) opens up a little overlay which contains Emojis, GIFs, Clipboard, and some other stuff I'm not sure is useful.

Ill end this post with a question for you all:

-What was something you learned about technology FAR later than you SHOULD have?

I've never heard of a "pull day" at the gym before, what's that mean?

I think it was nearly 3 years in our new house before we finally opened the last box and sorted it all so don't feel to bad!

LOL anyone else see that chair made out of a disassembled shovel?

[-] Rekorse@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Omg lol this took me far too long to realize it was a joke!

I honestly am not sure why we had become so tolerant of advertisements in our face.

Perhaps we had reasoned it was just the way these companies make money, a necessary evil.

Its getting to the point though, where the more I see a company advertise and put out meaningless and ambiguous statements the less I trust that company.

Isn't there some old adage about don't trust what someone tells you about themselves, rather than the way they act?
