I do something similar, but I guess scorched earth edition:

• Only use firefox, no chrome or chromium variants

• Never signed in to my google account (only have it to keep a gmail forward going for old ass subscriptions)

• Have firefox configured to only keep whitelisted sites’ cookies and data between restarts - google is not on that list

• uBlock Origin

The last several months I started seeing that youtube screen “enable history to see recommendations” blank page when first landing, as if it was a punishment to me. It’s not. I remember all the channels I like, and it’s easy enough to keep checking back. So that blank screen is actually a nice bonus to me.

before tomorrow morning?

DoD contractor: Sure can, but it will cost you huge.

(Lies about the former, 100% accurate on the latter.)

Throw a bone in there, and baby you got a stew going!

Can’t a femboy get me pregnant, thought?

It’s what my router runs.

No, Nvidia did not buy the Xbox brand. And no, I did not fall for it until I saw the comments on the article.

Was the transition into management easy for you, or was it a slow acceptance?

lol, no - just curious what town/city, or even just state/country. The vegetation, river walls, and architecture all seem so unfamiliar to me. I’m just not sure where this might be (Greece? would be my guess)

Where’s that at?

a single strawman: these tools do not exist and no developer in the world cares about the topic

I haven’t seen anyone make the argument that denies these things exist - it’s that the existence of these tools are even necessary to safeguard the language in the first place is the argument. And then on top of that, you’ll additionally need a shop that is even allowed the time to properly utilize these tools and implement their usage as standard practice within the company culture.

That there are alternatives which remove (significantly more) footguns is the overall point. Work in one of these other languages so e.g. dumb-ass PMs don’t even have the option of pilfering the time it takes to code safely, as it would already be baked in.

As long as you don’t touch the tips, then it’s not gay.

Biden administration seems oblivious of the strengths of contemporary C++

Well ok, but the concern is about the weaknesses, Mr. Stroustrup.

Rats?! I hate rats!

Would you like some making fuck, bësërkër!

Reminds me of Ayn Rand collecting social security even after her essays deriding it as: “Social Security shouldn’t be described as “social insurance” but as welfare.”

There is not a shed of shame to be shared between any of these types.

Pacific Driiiiive!

The US cop who murdered George Floyd, which sparked riots and civil unrest across the country.

I’m gonna assume you’re not from the US given your lemmy instance. In the US most police radios transmit “in the clear”, i.e., not encrypted. As such, anyone can buy a “police scanner”, or a radio on the same band as police/first-responder frequencies.

In the internet age, there’s websites (and apparently apps now too), that physically monitor these radio channels and stream them online. Hence, a “police scanner app”. Hope that helps.

Having typed all that out, the only thing I ask is to let us know where you’re from, please.
