Grok fucking nailed it. And everything stated is verifiable with almost no effort.

What?! You need the MAC to identify a router and MACs don’t go over the internet.

it would have been possible to track your ip and what it was accessing online

I’ll let you go ahead and explain that one.

Want to solve the evil landlord problem? These are the evil landlords, not some dude with a few houses to rent. Blocking these sales is one of the no-brainer solutions we need, but fuck no, our politicians are bought out.

Life sciences are where this sort of thing will shine.

In the US our colleges and universities typically have what they call extension offices that can tell you all about the local environment. Anything like that where you’re at?

From Gemini, but it’s factual:

A local extension office, often called a Cooperative Extension office, is a branch of a land-grant university that provides research-based information and educational programs to the local community. These offices are staffed by experts who offer guidance on various topics, including agriculture, gardening, food safety, natural resources, and 4-H youth development. They act as a bridge between academic research and practical application, helping individuals and communities solve problems and improve their lives.

Lots of great advice here! I’ve learned the most just by getting out in the woods and swamps and looking. Still so much I’m ignorant of! A great project for you, that I’ve been slacking on, is putting events into a calendar or tracking app. “May 15th, dragonflies are back.” “June 1st, banana spiders back.” Stuff like that.

Looked into beekeeping on and off and varroa mites are a top consideration in any source I’ve read.

Voodoo! I had no idea.

My favorite all-time insult was laid upon me by my soon-to-be ex:

“Well look at you! You ain’t nothin’! You’re scrawny, you’re an alcoholic and if you didn’t have such a big dick you wouldn’t be worth nothin’!”

Never had an insult shut me the fuck up, instantly. I mean, that really hit home.

All that destruction to provide a couple of hundred jobs. These dumbass politicians think Meta is bringing in a factory, like the old days.

I loathe that woman’s goddamned voice. I think she’s trying to channel Barbara Walters. Second I hear it, off she goes because I know bullshit is coming into my ear canal.

satire or mockery

What about fair use?

No lie. If anything, this site reminds me that ChatGPT might handle a task for me.

That’s my understanding and experience.

What a succinct, compelling argument!

For almost everyone, the straight-up phone call has become an intrusion.

I feel like everyone, in America anyway, has forgotten that telemarketers weren’t allowed to call cell phones.

Depopulation is a problem for any economic system. You can’t run any form of government or economy when young workers aren’t contributing to the tax base and the aging population requires more and more care.

Sure as clockwork someone will come along and say tax the rich. That only works for so long in this scenario. The rich get rich off our backs. No backs, no rich.

If OP got his last paycheck, done deal. Yes, he surely signed for it, but no laptop is worth the legal cost of a lawsuit.

SOURCE: Issued hundreds of laptops, of all varieties and prices, for multiple companies.

This is not happening in the wider world, not on any appreciable scale. Here comes lemmy:

“NOAW! People ARE switching in DROVES!”

LOL, the vast majority of people can’t spell Linux.

Pornhub requires a VPN or other workaround in many states/regions. So yeah, the more tech literate do that thing. See also: Steam Deck.

LOL, I heard that gif. Timed it in my mind, on the money OP.
