My boss encrypts nothing and leaves all of the machines switched on overnight, every night.

We got burgled once and someone made off with some postcards and £5 in loose change, overlooking access to a vast trove of customers highly exposing personal, financial, medical and legal documents that has never been purged for over a decade.

He didn't even change anything afterwards!

Most popular dish in the UK is Tikka Massala.

But:

Fat, carbs and protein do not come purer than fish and chips.

Mozilla is one the most important tech entities in the world at the moment. Web browsers and email are currently people's bedrock interface with the internet and Firefox (and to a lesser extent Thunderbird) are the only such mainstream applications which remain outside the complete dominance of commodification.

We might disagree with some things that Mozilla have done but they are in the increasingly unique position of having to maintain integrity and accessibility in a constantly narrowing space. That's because we, as users, keep using them, keep supporting them and keep demanding the best of them.

Big up Mozilla!

Boss:

"You're needed in the office. Please come in to the office now"

Employee:

"Come and fucking get me, you pussy."

Would be way cooler if they couldn't collect it.

I think this comment has the most downvotes I've ever seen on Lemmy...

I'm actually quite glad about this. Currently Pixelfed is absolutely beautiful, without me having to do any blocking at all. I don't want spammy low-key commercial posts to start showing up on it, turning me cynical and sour trying to work out who is legit on it. The whole culture of mainstream social media is based on people commodifying themselves, whereas Pixelfed is about artistic expression for its own sake. That's my own take on it anyway. For me, Pixelfed is the best thing on the internet at the moment and I feel protective of it!

If nuclear stops getting outstripped by renewables on cost I might be more interested in it.

I've noticed that too and found it counterintuitive. The other thing is free market economics. I would expect conservatives to embrace moral traditionalism and economic intervention but currently it's the opposite...
