Good advice always has its exceptions. But in general you should never use a work device for personal use because it’s very easy for that information to be either compromised and/or used against you.

My personal guidance is “if you don’t own the device, pretend the owner is looking over your shoulder” it’s incredibly easy for them to install keyloggers and trackers remotely and silently.

Isn’t there a black mirror episode about someone experiencing a terrible fate because of a malfunctioning brain implant that just got FDA approval?

You answered it for me. This is exactly what I was thinking.

You don’t matter to the world. You may matter to the small group of people who know you, but odds are you’re insignificant

This guy proves that being smart is not a prerequisite for being rich.

The first time I think it lasted 24 hours (April fool’s day)

The second time (last time) it lasted for three days I think.

Yeah… My comments which were restored were deleted for several days before they started reappearing. That doesn’t sound like a flaw on the scripts, but a flaw on how reddit handles bulk comment deletion.

It’s not just a conspiracy theory that they have restored deleted comments.

I deleted all of my comments twice because they were restored after the “blackout” a few weeks ago, even though they were deleted well before that outage started.

Does lemmy have an equivalent of /r/outside? Because it’s leaking a little.

Perfect control over memory.

So able to remember anything with high detail, but also able to forget the cringey stuff from middle school

Avoiding cold water is just bad advice and it’s perpetuated by people who do not live in hot climates. It violates thermodynamics to say adding cold stuff makes you hot.

If you’re already to the point of sweating, your body is trying to cool you down. Adding cool liquid will make you colder, not hotter. Go read medical recommendations for how to treat heat stress, they will never tell you to drink hot tea and eat some chillies

This is exactly why I switched off daily driving Linux after a few months. I didn’t find it hard to get things set up initially, but you keep running into constant issues that take hours to troubleshoot and fix.

I got to the point where if I booted up my computer to quickly do a task and I got a cryptic error message that I had to put into Google to fix one more time, I’m not wasn’t going to troubleshoot it, I was going to throw my PC out the window.

I love the ideas behind Linux, and I love having open source alternatives to windows and Mac, and I’ve donated to a couple projects… but based on my last attempt (1-2 years ago) Linux is still far from being a daily driver alternative on personal computers for the average person.
