Yeah 90s born here and the idea of just wandering up to someone while they’re out in the street, shopping or pretty much anywhere that isn’t like a bar (and even then unless they give some sort of indication) and running a line is wild.

My mates older brother in high school would insist that sort of stuff is how you do it. Fuck that. I hate people, mostly sales people or weirdos, bothering me when I clearly have every indication about my demeanour not to talk to me, do it. So why would I? It’s weird.

Sad

The more you know, it makes sense, I definitely will use this information for non fire starting activities.

During his arson spree, Orr had several nicknames: the Pillow pyro due to the location of the fires inside retail stores; Frito Bandito, due to starting some of his fires using potato chips.

What.

Fire investigators from Southern California converged on the destroyed store, and declared the cause to be an electrical fire. However, Orr insisted that the cause was arson. Orr was correct, of course, because he had set the blaze.

Wild you’d be this blatant after a fire that kills 4 people but I guess you get complacent after getting away with something 2000 times.

Lmao already people making their agents try this on the site. Of course what could have been a somewhat interesting experiment devolves into idiots getting their bots to shill ads/prompt injections for their shitty startups almost immediately.

What a bizarre headline to come out days after it’s revealed Meta has been snooping on supposedly encrypted chats.

Gotta respect the empirical approach🙏

I might not know how to turn gay

Not with that attitude you don’t.

Lmao I thought the exact same during a Terminator 2 rewatch recently where they’re shooting inside a closed elevator with a shotgun and pistol at the T-1000 on top. Erryone getting hearing aids.

To be fair, a lot of stuff like this is intentionally wrong for people potentially like in the OP but not being ironic. Like a chip of fulminated mercury blowing up a building but somehow not touching off the rest of the bag; though the rest of the bag may have just been actual meth.

Tech support is somewhat different, for MSPs at least. In so far as billing and resolving the customers problem is usually aligned. Customer/tech support for places like Amazon or adobe is different. Adobe for example will typically only help out (resolving a billing dispute for example) only if you make it apparent you’ll leave/report them to a consumer bureau and they’re instructed in this fashion.

The design choices are also sometimes shit on purpose. I get it though and was bitching about similar on a different post recently regarding Nextdoor making unsubscribing from notifications intentionally infuriating to do. Only offering to unsubscribe from all when you begin the account deactivation process.

More concerningly is this going to trial in the US’ current governmental “degraded” (to put it lightly) condition. NFPs get a bunch of concessions and benefits to being such. It’s not unheard of for NFPs to have for profits subsidiaries but I feel like letting them bootstrap into FP, often on the taxpayers/states dime should be, legally speaking, a no no.

Realistically, as long as you’re polite or even just professional you’d get my respect. When I worked for an MSP some of the elitism of my coworkers was annoying. One older dude who I was providing support for asked how I “know all this stuff” about computers. Not only because it was my job but as I said him I’ve been messing around with computers since I was a kid. And a lot of that was breaking shit and having to fix it so my parents didn’t get mad.

Glad I don’t do support directly anymore and if someone is rude or abusive; we can just terminate communication with them.

Nah it’s just your claim of them of addressing none of the OPs concerns and being a blind shill is objectively wrong and you’e in your feelings about that being pointed out to you.

Fuck that is depressing. I had hoped I’d be able to pay for a service and not worry about this shit to avoid the hassle of self hosting. Very informative thank you.

Op.

can create a priority inbox without all the pesky notification clutter

User.

(e.g. you can create aliases for your shipping stuff called [website].shipping@[myalias].com and then make a rule including all the adresses .shipping to a specific folder).

I.e avoiding shipping notification clutter by directing to folders. Don’t really disagree with the placing too much trust in one company for whatever it’s worth.

Thanks for the links, the recovery email aspect was covered in the initial comment old mate was replying to. I was more interested in if the hand your ass over remark had anything to do with the “they cant read your emails”/encryption part. The second link is very interesting though:

After providing the activist’s metadata to Swiss authorities, ProtonMail removed the section that had promised no IP logs, replacing it with one saying, “ProtonMail is an email that respects privacy and puts people (not advertisers) first.”
