Do not confuse any of the content you see on Snapchat as news. It is an advertisement. It is a free service and the content is highly competitive, so it must be enticing to pull you in and it has one objective: to generate revenue.

If you want news, you need to find a new platform with different incentives. Lemmy removes the profit incentive, a news website keeps the profit incentive but add transparency.

If you want to keep up with friends and they’re on Snapchat, then by all means use Snapchat, but the idea that you can use it as a platform to keep up with news is delusional.

Literally all of them. Any big company is doing evil things, and I doubt there is an exception to that rule. Shop local, grocery shop at a co-op, eat local, prioritize products you know are actually made in your home country. Most importantly; just buy less. Repair the things you own, take care of them, borrow from friends. Never buy something “surprisingly cheap”.

I think the problem was that half of the movie was a memorial to the victims of the Charles Manson murders and the other half of the movie was about Brad Pitt and DiCaprio, and the two stories had absolutely zero synergy.

Oh shit I got confused…

In my defense, I’ve never heard of Newcastle until today.

Kind of an odd saying, I’m 100% sure Newcastle uses gas for their grill and not a single fast food place uses charcoal grills. If you brought coal to Newcastle, they would have no use for such a thing.

This will keep happening, no one knows how to make hardened IT infrastructure while also letting 65 year old Suzie in HR stay productive, so we’ll always have loopholes. The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to use fewer cloud services, but obviously that has limits, you can’t cancel your phone plan just because they may get hacked. You could use more encrypted services like Signal where a hacker wouldn’t get anything useful even if they broke in.

I would assume you were misinformed and promptly point you to my previous JavaScript projects to dissuade you of such illusions.

Always. We used steel before then because it wouldn’t react with the drink. We always knew aluminum cans would be cheaper, but couldn’t figure out how to protect the flavor and carbonation until Coors figured out how to line it with plastic. He shared the process for free with his competition because he knew a recycling program would scale really well.

I’m not convinced evil won in that one, mostly cuz the ending made no sense

It will almost certainly be the worst year in recorded history. We have pretty much had non-stop record breaking temperatures since July last year.

I’m gonna need someone to explain what that is a little more. I’m super confused.

An idea isn’t a product to protect, you don’t have to declare an idea that hasn’t been made yet. When you get your new job, if you explore this idea on company time, they get rights. If you want to keep the rights, you’ll need to explore the idea outside of company time. If and only if this idea already exists in some form of product AND you plan on using it at work, you’ll need to declare it to your new employer, I’ve seen forms for that attached to letters of offer, if you don’t see it there, ask. The company can refuse for that item though, meaning that if you continue developing that product during work hours, they have some rights to it. IANAL.
