  • I like to use dashes myself but the combination of overuse with other tells often does make me suspicious.

    Which isn’t bad, even an intellectual can write things wrong, as ai can also write things right. Always read critically.

    I didn’t think dashes where out of place here, but i did get a real ai vibe of the last paragraph. Is this something Bernie is really considering or is something to round up a generated list of scary scenarios. (Which are all existing valid concerns still)


  • On the one (windows) machine i actively use powershell i click the pinned start menu icon.

    Windows has fucked my flow before by co opting my shortcuts. So this is the most reliable way.

    On linux terminal is a shortcut, app launcher is a shortcut and searching apps to launch actually works and doesn’t open my browser that operates under a different privacy contract then your os settings.

    I despised windows search long before i switched i just didn’t know any better.






  • There is some nuance to what exactly is banned.

    I self host a vpn at my home that i use to connect to my home network on the go. This is a super common use-case and also cant be used to circumvent regional blocks.

    Work also uses a vpn to securely tunnel company hardware to our servers.

    A blanket ban on vpn software and technology would be ridiculously dumb. Almost as bad as blanket ban on encryption.

    If they make exceptions and only ban vpn with intention to hide and circumvent the law, then you only need some legal excuse if someone comes asking and its more a morality guideline then a criminal law.

    If they blanket ban “vpn technology” i would simply suggest ignoring it. Laws that stupid are too incompetent to take seriously. I recon its completely unenforceable.

    Either way you’re unlikely to be investigated unless the government already has a reason to investigate you. In which case you’re probably fucked no matter how secure your internet.












  • Ah i completely missed that context.

    I thought we were just discussing consumer subscriptions. I don’t often think about corporate entities as customers because often the product is a complete different class i don’t qualify for and i have radically position on economic organisations

    Interesting thing i just found out is my internet providers has a plan for business which is identical to the one i own except its cheaper and doubles the upload capacities.

    As far as my level of knowledge , people at work come to me because i understand computers, but not for finances.
