there are common definitions for both terms. the employees aren’t shareholders as long as they don’t own a part of the company, but they are stakeholders since they have something to do with the company. their partners, publishers, etc. are stakeholders too

the post is talking about Meta though

Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?

I’m currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I’m not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I’m looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff....

steam deck is NOT a proper replacement for a work desktop, ymmv

ben_dover ,

having your cake, and eating it too

happy, moisturised, in my lane, flourishing

ben_dover ,

fuck idea guys. an idea is worth nothing until you actually put the work in

ben_dover ,

they’ll just start forcing you in case you want to play cross-platform instead

sunshine/moonlight works for me, even though steam link crashes after 10s

i’m intrigued, but leap days would fuck it up though

ben_dover ,

thank you for your service, i usually resort to libraries doing the heavy lifting but even then it’s tough and prone to error

it would be amazing if they could just add a mobile ui to Smarttube (best android tv app imho) - it supports login, adblock, sponsorblock & dearrow, you can cast to it, etc. - and it’s updated constantly, via a prompt in the app, no external download or play store necessary

If you’re travelling to another country, you also get a different culture, architecture, cuisine,… even if it’s “close by”. That’s the real criticism here that people don’t get, if you’re only travelling within the US, everything’s pretty much the same, and you’ll never expand your horizon much

ben_dover ,

Why would someone go from a “nice” country to the US? People want to improve their situation

ben_dover ,

regarding your first question - they usually go after the big fish first. dbzer0 might still be flying under the radar, and also might be ina different jurisdiction where the specific plaintiff can’t go after them, or where it’s harder for them to do so

ben_dover ,

i don’t get it, my screen and 4k ultrawide display both look lovely (framework 13 + ubuntu), check your settings

i’m teaching silicon rocks how to think

they are not even “in the middle” but rather “at the very end”, since they’re just getting the data directly from the service provider instead

ben_dover ,

how? my macbook pro is seven years old, and the latest macOS i could get is two major versions behind. I’ve tried installing linux and apparently it is a generation that is particularly troubled, with an endless list of broken things curated on github. eventually bad Bluetooth- and no internal audio-support was a showstopper to keep using it

ben_dover ,

i’m glad it worked so well for you, i gave up after 3 days of frustration

ben_dover ,

it’s most likely part of the cease and desist order

moving from signal to discord is not going to be exactly helpful for your privacy, discord is completely unencrypted

while i see where you’re coming from, being able to message WhatsApp users from a client app that respects privacy would be better than being forced to have WhatsApp installed on your device, with it snooping casually on your everyday device usage and your contact list and so on.

WhatsApp is the only Facebook app on my phone and i’d love to get rid of it without losing the ability to message all those buffons using it (which make up for 99% of my social circle)

even that will be out of date. when the oem stops updating a device, there’s only so much custom roms can do

you can’t really recycle a regular plastic bag, the materials used are “bottom of the food chain”. around here they recycle bottles and containers, but use wrappings and bags to heat up the regular garbage incinerators…

they can. your telco provider knows exactly which ip was assigned to whom at any given time
