I thought audacity was purchased by some Venture Capital bros and was being enshittified.

Or am I remembering something else? Didn't they put some sort of tracker or something in their code, causing a fork?

I know...I know. I'm such a bad peon worker. I'll surrender myself to the police later this afternoon. I deserve the maximum punishment.

Government contracting is a fucking racket. Especially at federal level because the government is allowed to go over the contract budget by I think 25% so every fucking company that bids knows they are going to get that amount more than their bid.

Not only that, but because of how the procurement process works, they aren't going to rebid the contract if you mess up.

Contractors don't save the government any money. It privatizes government functions and makes a few people rich while taking away good jobs and benefits.

The only reason they get to say "you'll understand when you're older" is because they have something to protect as they got older.

In other words, they got theirs. And they don't want to fucking share.

It's a shit justification.

Exactly. Top of the screen should be at eye level.

This poster is terrible.

My company is better than most I've worked for. They tell you, upfront, anything on their equipment can be monitored for any reason with no warning.

But then, as part of the HR and acceptable use policy, no one will monitor your activities without just cause and investigation. Meaning in practice, "We're not going to look over your shoulder while you watch YouTube videos but if we notice you're watching a lot of or you start visiting porn sites, we're going to start monitoring you."

Now all that said, I still assume that my company knows every key I type on their laptop.

Considering how often transporters fuck up, I'm shocked they are used at all.

They are worse than Boeing!

If the choice is between a benevolent dictator and a normal dictator, I choose the former all day long.

The only reason to choose the latter is if you actually want a dictator because you believe you won't be affected or because you hope that it will rally a resistance.

Either way we are fucked.

Have you ever been president?!

Obviously executive authority continues after you leave office. But only if you are Republican. Obama has no executive authority anymore. Or Clinton.

Especially Clinton.

When I lived in a condo, there was a cap on the total of units that could be rented.

Rentals required an additional administrative charge to the HOA, which essentially acted as a property manager.

Basically, it was so that people who had to move temporarily for extended periods (like being deployed) could keep their house.

Imo, it was a good compromise.
