Yeah that wasn’t a great point. The US spies on its own people sure (but literally every country does) but it was nothing like the Soviet union.

I just spun up Lube Logger so I feel this haha

I mean to be fair, the finals has never actually supported Linux. Its a thing the team seems to try and maintain but you can’t get any official support and Embark has never really mentioned it in an official capacity.

So, at least in this case, them doing their “upmost” ability to keep it working is what they have been doing all along so it’s okay.

Okay so you have no reason. Which is because having sexually explicit images, drawn or otherwise, is gross and weird and disturbing. And the fact that you are continually doubling down shows me that you likely need your hard drives and notebooks checked.

Please don’t respond again unless you are telling me what country you are from so I can report you to the appropriate authorities.

No. That’s not a good enough excuse to potentially be abusing children.

I can’t think of a single good reason to draw those kinds of things. Like at all. Please, give me a single good reason.

Hosting a website over a VPN is not a great idea anyways. You should use something like Cloudflares proxied domains or tunnels. Your users will get far better performance and you’ll see significantly less load on your network.

I feel like you didn’t read my comment thoroughly enough. I said it can constitue CSAM. There is a surprising amount of leewat for teenagers of course.

But no, I’m not gonna let you get away that easily. I want to know the why you think it’s morally okay for an adult to draw sexually explicit images of children. Please, tell me how that’s okay?

Normally yeah, but why would you want to draw sexual pictures of children?

I don’t really use any of the AI stuff, as I just want it to post on a schedule for me. It’s mostly just an optional thing to help you write the posts themselves, but it’s super easy to ignore.

But, to be honest with you, I’ve had terrible luck with it and we are about to move back to Hootsuite. It was incredible difficult to set up, we have constant bugs with it, and the devs are super hostile and unwilling to help in the discord. It seems like they really want you to pay for their hosted version which would probably be fine, but for basically the same price Hootsuite was a more mature and fully featured platform. Plus, they actually have support.

Fallout 4 is a surprisingly good colony builder though. Shame that’s literally the only thing it has going for it haha

So to answer your questions

1. Depends on how they have their business registered. I once worked at a company that had 7 people total working there, but because it was legally a corporation it had a “board”, which was just the 3 guys who owned the company.
2. Not necessarily, going back to my previous answer, but there is no legal requirement to sell your stocks when you hire someone. And if you decide to sell stocks you can do a private sale of any amount of the company that you want.

Just because a company is a registered corporation doesn’t mean their stocks are sold publicly. But because they are a registered corporation, they have to have a board.

Hey so, at least in the US, drawings can absolutely be considered CSAM

Schools can already do that though. You can get in trouble for bullying outside of school, and when i was a student athletes i had pretty strict restrictions on what i was allowed to do because i was an “ambassador” for the school.

I can’t do shrooms either. I’ve tried a number of times from various sources and all I get is 10 hours of nausea and an overpowering urge to sleep but I can’t because I’m on shrooms.

The psilocybin pills worked for me, although I was microdosing them as part of a research study so maybe that was the difference. But Ive never had any issues with other psychedelis either.

My handbook at work specifically bans buying illicit drugs for customers with the company card.

It doesn’t say anything about buying it with my card and getting reimbursed though…

just use something

This! I am an IT admin and inam constantly begging my coworkers to use a password manager, any password manager. My company will pay for you to use Bitwarden but if you don’t want to do that at least use the password manager built into chrome/edge. Please, I am begging you to use secure passwords and save them in a password manager.

(Obviously not you fellow Lemmy users I’m sure y’all have too notch security practices. Just venting lol)

Your security will never be flawless. Human nature is to slip up every once and a while, and security is an ever evolving game of cat and mouse and even the professionals who spend their entire careers defending infrastructure are constantly playing catch-up.

I would never host my passwords locally because I know my security at home is nowhere near the security of a professional platform, especially one as trusted as Bitwarden. My dumb family photos and personal git repo? Sure. But Bitwarden holds passwords to my bank, government websites, work stuff, my credit cards, etc.

Waaay too much risk for me, and if anyone is looking at this i would recommend that you seriously consider what kind of liability you are really bringing on.

man is conditioned from a young age not to show feelings

I feel like you skipped over this part way too quickly. Myself and other men have been hearing things like “it’s not manly to cry”, “whining isn’t going to do anything for you”, “being weak is girly”, and countless other things for my entire memorable life

And it’s not just men telling me this. It’s men, women, adults, my classmates, teachers and mentors.

It’s not a good thing. And it’s changing now, which is so good. But man hearing that from your earliest memories makes it really set in.

I am on my fifth therapist. The first one I was seeing I kinda stopped going and then he retired, then I had a GF cheat on me and that was super brutal so I started going again.

First therapist was the stereotypical “feelings are okay!” kind of therapist, second one she just automatically assumed it was my fault and was basically telling me that cause I’m a man I should have done better, and the third just immediately jumped to medication like halfway through my first session.

Ended up with my current therapist and she’s great. I really like her because she regularly tells me that I’m just straight up being stupid or ridiculous and just need to handle my shit. Which works amazing for me.

You just gotta remember the mnemonic for them!

Many Wild Owls In Winter Never Make Unusual Noises, Always Calm and Focused

But that’s just taught to us in class as little kids so I forget it’s not second nature for the rest of the world!
