Schadenfreude intensifies…

I have servers on Digital Ocean and Linode and also one in my basement, and have had no problem. I do have all services behind NPM (not to suggest it’s a panacea) and use HTTPS/SSH for everything. (not to suggest HTTPS/SSH are either) My use case could be different than yours - my immediate family are my only consumers - but have been running the same services in those locations for a few years now without issue.

Woke is a social construct conservative people use.

My dude, Woke is a concept that the culture wars have stolen and mangled. It goes back over a hundred years.

And you won’t be surprised at all regarding who they stole it from.

How a Black activist watchword got co-opted in the culture war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke#Origins_and_usage

Edited to confess I don’t use it in the original context either. I use it like the article mentions near the end:

"People today who identify as woke see themselves as having been awakened to a new set of ideas, value systems, and knowledge”

I don’t actually use it out loud (primarily because of what conservatives have done to the word), but yeah, once you start looking behind the curtain, it’s hard to view it any other way but as an awakening.

I was too young to have to listen to their shit then though.

This one never really gets old anymore.

LOL!

Ah, fair!

When the rest of us get taxed it’s just how society works. When billionaires get taxed, now it’s a “scheme.”

It’s AI isn’t it. Some AI keeps modding me. ;)

Microsoft is on a fuck up their product speedrun, ain’t it?

I think at this point it’s clear they have a core base of users who (for one reason or another) aren’t going anywhere no matter how much abuse they pile on top. It’s MS’s version of that 38% or whatever of people who are clearly going to vote Trump even if he reveals himself to be the literal devil.

Fucking up their product? Why yes, each and every year they give me a new object lesson in how grateful I am to have ejected them from my life (except when paid to use Windows) in 2007. But will the company come to harm from it? I don’t think so.

I see your point, I’m just saying that’s on them, not you. You took a reasonable action.

The only sensible solution then is to ban toddlers from EVs. They’ll just have to walk.

Better give 'em guns too. With all that walking maybe they can stop a school shooting or two.

Just because that’s absurd doesn’t mean masses of people didn’t see masking as political. To me, it was kinda hard to ignore.

They made it political. Your wearing of the mask was not political. (based on your description anyhow)

Not sure, but 20 month old toddler…

Not to anyone except these crybullies. A crude hat would be crude for some visible reason other than being a hat.

A mask is only political to these assholes trying to stop people from wearing it, and during the pandemic it was only political to the same assholes who couldn’t recognize that their personal freedom didn’t extend to increasing risks to the immunocompromised, elderly, and others who were at high risk.

The freedom they demanded then would have had health implications for people around them, and the freedom they are trying to take away now has health implications for many of the people still choosing to mask up.

I fully expect that when they’ve run out of culture war ideas, current Republicans will start demanding that cars of a certain color can only park in certain spots or drive in certain lanes.

They will find a way to associate one or two specific colors with either the queer community or antifa (red and black anyone) - and that will be how it starts.

I would rather deeply french kiss Joe Biden than receive those sticky disgusting Trump lips on my cheek. FTR, I’m not a teen girl, nor even a girl, nor even gay. But I’ll suck Joe Biden tongue all day long before Trump puts his lips anywhere on my body.

What’s the context anyhow? Looks recent but surprised I haven’t heard about it.
