Use !sp instead of !g and you get startpage results which is Google results without the tracking.

This argument always comes up. What makes you think you can... Bla bla bla.

When Google search came, they started their search engine by providing a clean search page with no ads, at a time when all the others had cluttered, ad-filled, shitty pages.

Users picked Google because it was the better experience back then. Today, if a search engine comes along that gives you great search results and privacy, it will become very popular quickly, because a lot of us are fed up with Google and want them to go away completely.

This is awesome. If it works well, I will pay for it without a moments hesitation.

This is what a sane world would use drones for, instead of killing and surveillance.

It would be the number 1 thing I would invent drones for....helping people in numerous ways. Package delivery is another.

How is the privacy benchmark going?

Firefox is plenty fast for me and my data is not shared with Google when I use the web. That's worth so much more to me than winning in synthetic benchmarks.

Yup. I'm also back to piracy, which is ridicolous really as a grown man. But should I pay for 5 different streaming services, where I basically borrow movies for whatever time they decide? I can't even remember which service has which movie so its very hard to just start watching something.

I don't think the US is free at all, and would be interested in seeing facts that back it up. I see a country run like a corporation, where media, tech and science are carrying out very specific instructions from their handful of billionaire owners to steer the ship where they want it to go.

You can think what you want in the US but you cannot express it publicly if you have a significant following. You will get blocked, censored, ridiculed etc.

Maybe you mean something else with freedom? Freedom to carry out work and get payed for it? Sure.

And this is all you need to do really.

After covid I just accept we are living in hell. Everything about the systems we exist in is a joke. At the end of the day, just embrace the madness I guess.

Soul searching is easy. The only people who put up with that shit are people who don't feel good enough, so they are begging their master like a dog to please, please like them!!

The cure? Don't allow corporations to set your value, specially not mad and crazy corporations like amazon and space penis.

I glanced through the leadership principles and laughed a bit. I feel sorry for the people who think they have to put up with that bullshit.

It all boils down to making the employees working as hard as possible, that's the single reason those principles exist. To make specially young and clueless employees forget it's just a job, because hey, it must be an obsession!

If you are young, this may seem normal i guess but I would never ever touch amazon.

I had an amazing time laughing at this document :)

Best morning ever.

You believed it was a horse dewormer because the mass media said so?

Please educate yourself about ivermectin.

Arch Linux AUR package too - awesome!

Lots of censorship going on however. There are sites that show the deleted comments and you can learn a lot about the agenda of reddit from those. It's interesting in its own right.

I've been running Linux for a decade at home and work computers and it's awesome. I can't stand mac os or windows now, guess that's the only downside.

I would say today, it's dangerous to speak uncomfortable truths. Assange is still in prison for speaking out about the NSA and looks like he will die there.

Does humanity deserve people like that to walk amongst us, or do we deserve to just get a society where we have no freedom even over our bodies?

After covid i think humanity sucks. We have easily been put into two camps, arguing with eachother. The divide and conquer strategy always works it seems. Like idiots we are not seeing the bigger picture of who profits and benefits from the change society now is transforming into.

I work from home and the Gnome desktop has a simple toggle to turn off all notifications.

I check slack when I feel like it and if there are messages, I answer them.

I feel very little stress compared to when I was in the office and people were talking, walking and laughing around me constantly. It was impossible to focus for 5 minutes.

Do another AWS certification because they are nice to have. Looking at machine learning now but it's so silly and I lost respect for the machine learning crowd.

Yeah we gonna do some "quantum binning" now (put stuff into categories)... Get out of here. Lol.

We are at a crossroad here. If people don't push back in 2022, we are going to live in a society that makes "papers please" look like heaven compared to what we have.

Please read this book if you doubt what I'm saying. It's not a god damn conspiracy theory.

I read all this and after seeing all the workarounds and special fixes to get back to a good workflow he had on the mac... I just have one question: Why use a Mac?

So he likes the extra performance (which he won't use 99.99% of the time), and he likes the screen (why not use an external screen like most sane people?).

I still don't understand. Why give up the amazing arch Linux for shitty Mac OS? Makes no sense whatsoever.

I would use AWS Parameter Store but I guess it fails the "open" part. But it's great for storing settings for different environments and then apps can simply pick them up.

Google working on replacing the open internet protocols with their own again.

Interesting that it's inside VS Code.

Quite an extensive "plugin".

Some (bad) companies have a VP of Engineering that has no clue about technology and with a background in another field.

But come on, Lastpass has been on a downwards slope for a very long time. They can't even make their main product as good as Bitwarden which is free.

Good leaders don't "tell people what to do" exactly. It's more of a "this is something we as a group must focus on because of reason x".

I'm a new leader of sorts myself and all I do is looking at a Roadmap to see what is important, figure out what my team needs to do and ask people which parts they would like to work on (although some people are better suited for certain tasks, and that's your job to know that by knowing your team).

I don't put myself on any kind of high horse. I'm still hands on myself too, doing work just like everyone else.

If your ego starts to tell you that you are somehow better than any people, you will not be a good leader.

Why does it amaze you that companies want to keep user data when we know it's extreamly valuable?

Completely agree. It's an insane idea that developers should try to work as quickly as possible to start with. Why should they?

I automate things because I don't like doing manual tasks (because it's boring). I don't do it to save time for my company.

And no mention of Exasol which is faster than most, if not all, of these databases for analytics.

> I’m not a big fan of leeching people’s content like that. Though it’s very convenient for the consumer.

Except the internet was built to let us leech content from eachother.

If there would have been a capitalistic mindset behind it, I guess they would have started with taking your credit card number back in 1960.
