    UK had those laws, but Rupert Murdoch had lunch with Margaret Thatcher right before he purchased the Times of London, giving him a 40% market share in news media in the country. You wanna take a guess on whether those laws were enforced after their little meeting?

    Reminds me of the ridiculous advice I’ve heard from my parents of just showing up to pester the boss at the job you want until they hire you. It may have worked before the days of LinkedIn and Indeed, but these days the people picking out application candidates almost always have nothing to do with the position they’re hiring for.







  • It shouldn’t be too hard, and considering private key authentication, you could even use a single sign-in for multiple platforms/accounts, and use the public key as an identifier to link them across platforms. I know there’s already a couple proof-of-concept Gemini forums/BBSs out there already. Maybe they just need a popularity boost?

    Can you delete Xbox games installed by another administrator? I ran into that problem a few years ago because I reinstalled W10 and had it keep “personal files” which apparently included my Xbox games. I couldn’t touch them at all, but I had W10 Home. I wonder if my problem could’ve been mitigated more easily than a full wipe of the drive? 🤔

    I don’t get how these people even feel comfortable driving something where you can’t see the road that’s in front of you for 10+ meters out. I just wouldn’t feel safe, there could be any kind of obstruction you can’t see on the road from 10m away but will still fuck up your day and/or life.

    It’s been pretty nice. I started slacking on my charging schedule a few months after I got it, so it’s degraded a little bit, but I can still make it through an 8-hour shift with Spotify going through my headset. The only thing motivating me to get something else is the locked down bootloader. I’d like to install something de-google-ified, but it’s straight up impossible on the US version of the S22.
