I’d look into something like https://whistleblower.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/whistleblower.house.gov/files/whistleblower_survival_tips.pdf

Also consider how your country protects (or rather prosecutes) whistleblowers and whether this question you asked here + additional online interaction history could lead then to identify you

We have a similar saying in Denmark, something like “shoemakers kids always have holes in their shoes” but in this case it’s more about that the people in the profession don’t prioritize their own craft. I’ve seen this with electricians where whole house is done but electrical sockets aren’t installed but for IT I think it’s more about distrust towards developers (takes one to know one)

They’re geographically shielded from Russia by Poland, Germany, France, and probably have less reliance on Russian energy. So having an alliance with USA is less important to them geopolitically. My guess at least

From their website it looks like they’re “reselling” so, that’s my best guess as to why their bill would be so high

Nice. One of the ways to write Chaofan in Chinese is 炒饭, which means fried rice. Amazing to be able to get that Twitter handle

Not sure this is what social media wants. They want to maximize shareholder value. The teen segment is crazy valuable since a lot of them are able to convince parents to buy them all kinds of shit. Without this segment, advertisers will turn to other platforms and thus remove lots of ad money from these platforms

Haha fair point. Don’t know if you have kids but I do - Kids are extremely impressionable. So even without social media, but just online videos, some kids (luckily not my kid) go fucking crazy when you say “no more Minecraft videos”. And I know there’s a lot of parents that don’t take that battle, or that simply just don’t know their young teens aren’t sleeping but instead scrolling tiktok underneath their covers.

I appreciate the thoughts you put into the comment!

I think I have a few comments that’s both for and against:

• it’s all about implementation: I’d hope for a token-based “I’m-an-adult” system - you’d be able to confirm age without vendor getting any other info than “this person is of age”, and with the government just knowing “you used a token somewhere” but the cynic in me tells a lot of places will use"protect the kids" as a pretext for more surveillance and implement it in shitty ways
• we’re being spied on anyways - this story is about high-level spying, but as far as I remember, they had access to all internet traffic

so they shouldn’t do the ban? While we’re at it, perhaps let’s also allow gambling and purchasing alcohol for minors as well since parents should just do the parenting ;)

It’s great for being paid while working abroad.

You almost had me!..

Uh I mean, 'Murica, fuck yeah!!

A trick is to acknowledge that there’s many alternatives. You can choose to be proud of your state, county, or simply just say “yeah my country is a cunt, so what?” And realize pride of your country doesn’t impact whether or not you’ve been a good, nice, or kind person.

My guess is facemask

And here I was, confused about why I couldn’t open the link related to MacBook repairs!

Sounds like you need to start working with databases

Godt gået!!

Call me maybe: Before you came into my life, I’m mister sofa.
