I work at a corporate funeral home. Sales training yesterday this psycho literally said "Don't make the families think so hard! Make the right choice for them." The 'right' choice of course being an expensive package.
Utterly nauseating.

I cant wait to get rid of this comcast gateway. Install an app to enable poet forwarding instead of just logging into the damn thing? And the app sucks!

I'm curious about rayhunter data, too. I had to work today but I want to try using it anyway!

If you bring Rayhunter to a protest this weekend (or ever), please send us the results, even if you didn’t find anything! Negative results can still help us better understand how and when CSS are being used. efforg.github.io/rayhunter/s...

I've decided I want to build a home server. Problem is this has turned out to be not just a rabbit hole, but an astral worm hole to a whole other dimension of computing. Since there's clearly no future for the human race, we just have to try and get to the future ourselves ourselves, it seems.

working in a place designed for neurotypical people is one thing, and "normal"; but being made to go thru a process to get accommodations that's isn't even made for disability accommodations is entirely another.
