As a user at a big company that needs to lock down its security, we get quarterly phishing emails that would tell you that you failed the test so to speak if you click the link. It shows how easy it is to everyday users of how easily an entire system can get compromised.
Having a “test” like this might not be bad if you run it by boss first?
Lots of great conversation here, I also work somewhere where this is required. If I didn’t need my phone for access to chat, I just wouldn’t use it for work. Alternatively, my phone has a work profile so I use that for any work related or non-FOSS apps. My IT guy even approved of my methods and said do the minimum and never more with tech.
I don’t care much for Biden, but I gotta admit, all the policies that could make a significant difference keeps getting blocked by…the republican congress! So yeah, not blaming Biden for the failure of policies and will vote for him
I understand on a current technical side why this is not possible, but the post still has some merit in that misuse of original posts can lead to legal action.
Right now, all content posted online is generally accepted as unlicensed, free to use however one pleases, works. This was fine at the beginning, but as the internet grew, control of one’s data increasingly got more difficult to control - once social media became the dominate form of communicating, it was all over.
Early blogs still have copyrights posted on them that, legally, can be enforced and respected. So if each user was able to indicated in meta data their choices, with most defaulting probably to a free license, then there is some level of control returned to the user, regardless of protocol and how things get replicated on servers.
Licenses include reproduction, and the way activitypub works can make that quite murky (its being republished on servers) but that is not all it covers.
OP, I think this is a very interesting topic to discuss, thanks for bringing it up!
I use Zorin OS for my laptop that’s gotta be at least 15+ years but still kicking it. Outlasted the newer laptop I bought that was only 5 years old.
As someone who is only mildly into tech, Zorin is certainly familiar and I would probably recommend it to people.
I downloaded Gallium OS for my mom on her Chromebook, that’s perhaps another important consideration to make…what laptop someone has.
If you let go of the feeling that you were owed something (love, friendship, etc) in a relationship and just enjoy the time you spent together and what you learned from it, loss becomes a lot easier to deal with.
Also, people change, maybe you left the relationship before that happened. The relationship you remembered is not the relationship you’d be in now. I find that helpful to remember too.
Tbh in a sense this is the way tho…In the way that no singular event should be a defining victimization but instead to self-determine a better future. Complaining keeps you in the past, but having hope propels you forward into a future of possibilities.
Feel sad, feel upset, but don’t settle into the feeling. It is only a moment, and the way you respond will lead you down the path you choose with that response.
Human connection is a need just as strong as hunger or rest, like it’a almost an accepted medical issue that loneliness causes early death. If anything, having such a low rate of marriage only further harms the low income group more than it would higher income groups
Bold to assume that it’s an instinct and not a taught and learned behavior.
I suppose, but isn’t it enough to see the boys hanging out and running around? Must we always have a plot to follow?
(Haha I’m just incredibly not picky when it comes to art, so as long as there is something good I’ll enjoy, I know this isn’t the case for everyone tho)
Why hate something animated THAT good!?
I, for real, want to know if there are any religious/spiritual people here commenting because yikes. I think a lot of people also interpreted your question to be about organized religion, and specifically christianity of the US variety. Please seek out other religious thoughts - I’ve found much Jewish thought on religion to be of interest. For myself, I’m not christian and not Jewish.
I’m religious because growing up, I adopted the values of the religion I was taught - values of kindness, openness, and inclusion. It’s as core a part of my being as my ways of cooking or socializing. To not be religious would feel like hiding parts of myself.
The routine of following the practices, as well as religion/spirituality being able to help us face the unknown we still have in our lives. It can provide internal strength and belief in our ability. I also find the routine a way to connect to my family, my culture, and to my day-to-day. My religious time is more a time of internal reflection on my own actions and if they align with my values. Do folks without a routine religious/spiritual practice do the same?
The community aspect some touched on is huge. I read a book, Palaces for the People, where it mentioned that those with strong social connections fare better in times of crisis. While there are institutions that are getting to the same influence of religious institutions, they are still far less impactful.
I guess this is all less a belief and more why do people still engage with religion. But why do we believe, what is the act of believing? I don’t have to believe that the sun will rise every morning, but, I do still believe it will rise every morning. Belief is a whole area of study alone I’m sure.
