There's not a great deal of choice for software devs right now. Job is job.

I work for one of those full-Microslop-stack companies. I don't even get admin rights.

Would you trust a pre-flashed phone though?
I guess with GOS they have integrity checkers.

Australians could soon be able to block all online gambling ads. But will the plan actually work?
It came after concerns people would find it difficult to opt-out of gambling ads on each individual website, so a central opt-out service was announced instead.
This all sounds like a ploy to link our identities between services for tracking.

So, we won't be able to transfer between the platforms at Box Hill station without going for a hike?
It sounds as bad as the bus terminal.

GTA 6 leaks prompt Take-Two to subpoena Microsoft for Windows device IDs of everyone in three Discord servers — daily gameplay leaks shatter cloud of secrecy around the much-hyped game
Basically, Microsoft spies on everyone. They'll identify you and let the feds trawl through your OneDrive account. On Windows, it actually takes a very conscious effort to NOT upload files to OneDrive.
They're targeting a guy just because he unknowingly interacted with the suspect. As a joke.
If anyone questions why people like me have a GrapheneOS pixel connecting to self-hosted cloud storage on a home linux server, this is why.

TIL that in Massachusetts, white families have a median net wealth of $549,000. For black families, it is just $7,800

That's the funny thing. You could have a huge house debt with massive repayments, but your net worth is based on the value of the house and what you still owe. Your disposable income is comparable to a homeless person.
I felt dirt poor right up until my last payment.

74-year-old man in wheelchair hit, killed by pickup truck while using crosswalk
Is it just a North American thing to have a signalled crossroad with no dividing islands?
I'm not sure I have ever seen this in any other country.
That said, this looks like the fault of another North-American trend – road blimps with blind spots that can conceal a møøse.

I had the opposite problem. I had some hippy shampoo that caused so much dandruff that it turned into scabs. As soon as I started using ordinary shampoo again it was fine.
...but foamy toothpaste with too much SLES gives me ulcers. I have to avoid the common supermarket brands.

No one hates a particular religious group quite like the people whose own religion is 99.9% identical to theirs (e.g. Catholic vs. Protestant)
Sports fans amirite?
Like, two massive fans of the same sport, but from a different city with a different team.

Steve still interacted with nature wrong.
The hand gesture here is for "turning on the waterworks". You know, like a faucet.

Exactly this. Just DMZ a server. Open all the ports. Monitor the logs.
Open SSH on port 22 and the clankers will be knocking within hours.

Pauline Hanson vows to slash cigarette prices by nearly $30 a pack
Remember - you're not voting for the party leader alone.
Hell, you're not even voting for the party as a whole.
You're voting for the party's donors. In this case, it's big tobacco who want their cut.

It annoys me that the woman is making the completely wrong hand gesture. It's a twist, not a knock.
Edit: I probably should mention this is the hand gesture for "turning on the waterworks".
