@ozoned,
Anyone else have the issue where everything is going great in life, have wonderful children that are smart and healthy and are doing well in school, have a good job that is paying well and isn't burning you out, have a nice house, etc, but your body and mind are screaming that life can't be this good and you're just waiting for a disaster to sweep it all away so you can accept that everything is just awful?

@ozoned,
Watching a very large #Twitch streamer, whom is a great person and I enjoy watching, talking about how Twitch needs competition. But yet, the person won't invest in any kind of alternate platform... so it's the chicken and egg yet again! You have to be willing to fight for what you want. #OwnCast is the best way forward for streamers imo.

My child's elementary school requires that you use a 3rd party website to add money to their lunch account. The company, titank12.com, charges $2.60 processing fee. Or essentially 1 school lunch for a child going to the pockets of a private company. This shit fucking bothers me.
Literally taking money from children.
YAY CAPITALISM! /s

@AbandonedAmerica I always wondered how you find these places and if you use any kind of special equipment to access them.

@protonmail is there an outage right now? I'm connected via ProtonVPN and when I attempt to go to my #protonmail I get a 503. Just reloaded and it looks like it's doing something, but loading slowly.

#NorthCarolina has a bill, #HB189 to lower the age of a #ConcealedCarry #firearm from 21 to 18. You can't have a beer, but you can take someone's life.
Ammends an older bill to remove firearm as a weapon. However, a stun gun IS considered a weapon. You can't tase somone, but you can kill them.
The bill also allows ANY #elected #official to conceal carry ANYWHERE.
Stand at the NC Capitol Tuesday May 2nd 2023 at 1100, 643 LOB, and stop this madness.

Just found out about this 2017 blog post which indicates that the #EU paid 360,000 Euros to do a study,that ended in 2015, on #piracy and then decided to never release it, because it didn't match their narrative.
TLDR: "In general, the results do not show robust statistical evidence of displacement of sales by online copyright infringements."

@ozoned,
I used to work for #RedHat and I remember a time when Matt Hicks would talk about how we had a unique mission to save the world and how we have a specific culture at Red Hat and this would always come up when folks start asking about increasing pay or at least being transparent. Matt Hicks, now CEO, makes $300 MILLION and decided to lay off 4% of RH. Could he have made less and saved those jobs? Yes, but what he meant in the past was "work harder so we can pay you less and I can make more".
