I push buttons for a living

That is really helpful, thank you! Any suggestions for clients? I like Capy Reader for Android, but how about desktop? Specifically Ubuntu.

Basically the plot of 3 Body Problem

From what I can tell, it’s likely based on the Christian holiday, Christmas, which is probably a religious version of the Winter solstice. So not totally arbitrary.

Looks like it to me. Something weird is going on with the red shirt’s waistline and where are his arms? Plus the shadows are too harsh for an overcast sky.

Check out Swappa. They usually have plenty of phones in various condition to pick from.

Don’t even get me started on ClickUp.

It’s a conspiracy!

Lemmy is a free and open-source software for running self-hosted social news aggregation and discussion forums. These hosts, known as “instances”, communicate with each other using the ActivityPub protocol.

It’s kind of like imposter syndrome for taking a break. Are you really bored enough to enjoy relaxing? Have you really relaxed enough to get back to work?

I believe they were bought by someone and eventually implemented some questionable practices. I don’t remember the exact details, maybe someone else does.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Art Masters Jewelry is amazing. Just look at this masterpiece:

Does this really work? Wouldn’t rm remove itself in /bin early in the process?

It’s a twofold issue. One is that Telegram is operating an encrypted messaging platform that violates French law. That’s where I disagree with French law, messages should be allowed to be encrypted and the government shouldn’t be allowed to interfere with it.

The other issue is the public communications that take place on Telegram that are facilitating horrible stuff like CSAM, animal abuse, and terrorism. This is well documented and I’ve seen two articles about Telegram’s horrible uses just today (see my comment for the other): https://dubvee.org/post/1782604

Telegram could provide a large majority of the communications. There are public channels and groups that anyone can view, a Telegram account isn’t needed. Even Telegram calls itself a “social media app” so it’s disingenuous to describe all of its communications as private. The issue is that they choose not to cooperate with governments, which violates the law. This is where I have a problem with Telegram. They should help law enforcement if they have access to the messages.

I say all this as an avid Telegram user. I really wish they would just encrypt all communications and force people to seek things out instead of allowing the horrible stuff to be publicly broadcast. That’s what Signal does. The real question is, why doesn’t Telegram?

This is an unfair characterization of the issue. It’s more like the government asking to enter your home because they have evidence that you’ve been hosting known murderers for their “We love to murder people” social club. And when asked for permission to enter your response was, “these people have every right to talk about all the murders they’ve committed.”

It sounds like they want you to do it during working hours or else they wouldn’t offer those times. It’s a service offered by your job so it could be interpreted as a work-related function and therefore you should get paid for utilizing it.
