  • The best thing is these companies will say it’s not violation of your privacy because they sell the data without a direct link to your name or address. But guess what? They bundle it with all kinds of other identifiers like age, sex, weight, approximate location, whatever else you give them. The insurance company then takes that and modifies the category that is specifically this age bracket, approximate location, weight, age, beer and donuts in the fridge. And surprise! You fit all these “anonymous” identifiers.
    But no harm done, your identity is safe 👍





  • First of I run linux on my personal machine.
    Second, I shut down my work machine at the end of the day and if there is an update - let it update. The result? Not a single problem with windows updates in years! Strange, I know.

    Sidenote: I always thought people were partially making fun of windows updates because you have to reboot all the time. I have to log out to switch from integrated to dedicated graphics in Linux and pretty much 90% of all updates require a reboot. And to conserve battery I have to shut down the laptop anyway, since hibernation is but a dream. But whatever, it’s not a competition.






  • I don’t know, I’m not a political or diplomatic expert. But they took a bunch of hostages, made demands that they know will never be met by the Israeli government and won’t move away from them. On the other hand the Israeli government has been shitting on them for years, invaded their territory, makes impossible demands, and won’t move away from them either. Neither of them is right. But from the outside it doesn’t look like either party is really interested in a ceasefire.

    Note my comment is not about which party is morally right. An issue I, by the way, don’t really feel equipped to give a definite answer to either. But suffice to say I don’t sympathise with the murder of civilians neither by the IDF nor by Hamas.

    If you think cleaning is picking up after yourself you haven’t actually cleaned. If I had just a tiny bit more disposable income I’d love to spend it on someone properly cleaning the apartment.

    Between two full time jobs, commute, and a toddler there is not much time, much less energy, to clean beyond a quick vacuum, and wipe down of the bathroom once a week.
