Google does business with Israel’s military.

Or did you know that already?

They don’t lose money on users like you.

The US is 4% of the world’s population.

I’m not that conventionally attractive and Bumble worked great for me in my late 30s. People on different platforms are looking for different things. Bumble had its niche and it was very successful there, even if it was not for you like the other apps we’re not for me.

I can’t tell whether you’re being intentionally ironic. Yes the EU would be up for it. The EU didn’t ban cookies. Putting it simply, you do not need a cookie banner if you aren’t tracking people.

One of the big selling points of Linux to me was I can automate my install from end to end. I haven’t bothered automating the installer, but once it boots I run a playbook to set everything up and restore most of my homedir from backup. Everything down to setting my custom keyboard shorts, extensions and wallpaper is covered.

Tiktok is a basic human right? Fuck sake what are you like.

I’d say HDMI CEC is the main sign. Why would a VR headset have that when the Steamdeck/dock didn’t?

That’s a larger equation, and it sounds like it totally makes sense for you. I’ve been working remote to SF for 15 years and made the same choice you did. That experience has also let me see that the comp to effort ratio there is very very good.

This isn’t the only guy hiring in SF. By and large the pay seems really good for below average effort.

Pls no.

Dia is also the Irish word for God.

I’ve been training my model since 1998.
