I just had someone not hold the door for me, after I held the door for them and they acknowledged it, and said thank you. 🤷

I was walking towards the entrance of a building, texting on my phone and didn’t realize someone was walking behind me as I got to the main doors. So I apologized to the woman (for being in her way), put my phone away and held the door open and let her go in first. She said “thanks!”

Then we went through the 2nd set of inner doors she opened the door and didn’t bother holding it open for me or look back or anything. Just pulled it open just enough for her to squeeze through and let the door start to close in my face.

People are fun.

I’m not sure it favors some of us, as it’s a sign all of us collectively have gotten waaay too comfortable letting pieces of shit off the hook for their behavior. If we ever make it out of this I think we need to swing pretty hard the other direction on ‘tolerating’ people being total fucking assholes to everyone else in their career, in politics, in public. Call that shit out, shun them, make them understand freedom of speech does not allow you to literally spew hate speech, threaten people, and generally be a corrupt asshole. None of anyone’s behavior in the GOP since basically 2016, is okay. Obviously this has been going far longer, but 2016 election is when it went full gloves off.

That was my polite way of ending the conversation, I disagreed with the person, but I got tired of arguing about the metaphore and burgers, etc with someone who was clearly not gonna let this go.

“I don’t like being watched while consuming anything, really.”

“Yeah, but bro, you’re too stupid to realize why they’re doing it, let me tell you why!”

“It’s the FBI Michael, how hard could it be to run?”

I don’t really use them, so I don’t have much of an opinion, but I agree with your assessment.

I guess I should put more mindfulness into how I’m consuming restaurant food then, lol either way I think we can put this hypothetical to bed.

I’m commenting on literally being watched though, so let’s say you get up to go to the bathroom after your first bite the chef marks that as ‘didn’t like his burger’ because you took a bite (watched 1 episode) and didn’t continue to binge eat the burger (binge the whole season by the end of the month), BAM because you had a life event you couldn’t control, you now hate the burger and hate the show.

This is not a fun way to consume anything.

The thing I hated about Netflix was the stress of knowing i was being watched with my viewing habits and that affected how they decided to cancel or continue shows.

Imagine being a customer at a restaurant and the chef is in the back watching you eat, saying things like:

“well, if he doesn’t eat the whole thing in less than 10 minutes that means he probably hated it and won’t continue to buy more burgers, so we should just remove it from the menu now and never serve that burger again.”

Who the fuck wants to ‘relax’ and watch stuff when i know if I start watching something and stop after episode 1 because I liked it, realize my partner might also like it, and I wait 3 months to watch it together (not within their 30 day or whatever window), knowing that might contribute to Netflix canceling a show that I fucking liked in the first place!

SO RELAXING GUYS!

So no, I don’t stream stuff anymore. I’m sick of paying for content that constantly gets canceled, and also experiencing stress while doing so.

Its all fine until their approach of privacy or security differs with what’s best for the project, then there’s no reasoning with them to fix it because they’re not calm and flexible. Then ya gotta fork it and get everyone to transition to the new fork, and get developers back onboard, etc.

A crazy, but pointed example of something like this could be: the dude could just claim grapheneos going forward will not have networking anymore because thats an attack vector, and at that point the project doesn’t even suite anyone’s needs to be used as a smartphone anymore. How are you gonna reason with someone like this that, while keeping networking in the project is an attack vector, its necessary to be able to use the project for it’s intended use case? You probably aren’t

The maintainer Catfriend1 set the whole repo to private and apparently transfered the repo/code ownership, and signing keys to someone else without telling anyone? There’s some more to it, but the maintainer didn’t choose to share any info with the public, and it makes it seem highly suspicious what their intention and motivations are/were with the codebase.

Oh definitely, I agree

You forgot the part where this former reality TV host, told you to vote for the other former reality TV host, who then pushed your rent and grocery bills even higher.

Oh, and the OP that posted this article, also told you this time last year to vote for anyone but the person who was directly competing against said former reality TV host who pushed your rent and grocery bills even higher.

Its a fun circle of influence!

I’m gonna take the title at face value and assume they will be released to Trump. After the senate sends the bill.

People still do regular reinstalls? I just copy over my parititons to the new laptop and… Continue on with my day, haha. There’s some steps I had to take for the LUKS encryption which i forget now, but once you get LUKS setup, I’ve been able to just copy stuff over. I’ve had the same install of Ubuntu for basically 10 years, over 3 laptops.

Like, smashed over the head with a beer bottle? Holy fuck. They really should not have started such a cliché for that in bar fights in movies, I feel like some people think it’ll break like the movies and you’ll just “hurt the guy a little” not fucking kill them, or give them permanent brain damage.
