He’s consistently the worst person, period.

Cunning stunts.

I got the impression that they were referring to emigrants that naturalized and later repatriated, not necessarily their descendants. Also, just from my anecdotal experience, it seems that second-generation immigrants tend to learn both the native and host languages, and third-generation and beyond don’t know their native languages, or just bits and pieces. Source is my in-laws, as my wife is a second-generation immigrant (technically first but she was a baby when she came over.)

This sounds like something that would vary from country to country. Also, assuming the person still spoke the local language, how would you even know?

I used to use Sportsurge. They are, or were, a decent stream aggregator. Just make sure your adblock is turned on.

Charging at home or work would be great. From my perspective, the biggest obstacle to EV ownership is road trips. I just did a trip last week that was 2000 miles round-trip. Having to stop multiple times a day for charging would be a real challenge, not just for current lack of infrastructure, but also the time spent charging. Fuel stations are everywhere and I can have a full tank in <5 minutes. Until EV charging approaches these numbers, I don’t see myself owning an EV. Although I guess there is the option to rent a traditional vehicle for those periods, I usually make multiple 1000+ mile trips per year, so those costs aren’t insubstantial.

Respectfully, I’ve been working in government for nearly 20 years. I know what my limits are and what I can get away with. I never signed any acknowledgement that I would keep the app on the phone. Worst case scenario and extremely unlikely to happen, they somehow notice it’s missing from my phone and ask me about it. “Oh, my bad. Didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to remove it.”

I also ignored the DOGE emails last year and I’m still around. I’m honestly not the least bit concerned.

For what it’s worth, I saw that it had been installed on my government issued phone this morning and was able to simply uninstall it.

This is strictly for government-issued devices. So everyone that is subject to this is already carrying two phones.

You could always try clicking on some shady links online.

I’m not sure that’s possible.

I was with you until the end. Most Gen A are mostly technically illiterate thanks to smartphones and tablets that “just work.” They’ve never really needed to tinker with their devices and it shows in their technical capabilities. I would bet the average Gen A couldn’t tell you the difference between downloading a file vs installing a program.

You’re not wrong, but we don’t all have the capability to move to another country, for both legal and financial reasons.

Not surprised. Always book tickets in private browsing, preferably with a VPN. Expect to get upcharged otherwise.

Shit, most of my friends don’t even get Reddit. Lemmy would probably make their heads explode.

It should go without saying that I don’t work in tech.

You can get a lot for free too if you know what you’re doing.

You’re really testing the limits of this community name, aren’t you?

I haven’t seen an ISP offer tech installation on anything in years unless the home wasn’t pre-wired. Self installation kits are the norm these days.

Fuck, what was this from? I can remember the voice but can’t recall the source.
