  • Ads on a login screen? That’s disturbing.

    For people automatically saying to switch to Linux, it’s because they have never had a job in tech to know it doesn’t work that way, and have never worked in production. There are several industries where if you don’t run Windows you can’t have a job because all of the software is only designed to run on Windows in their industry.
















  • People who demand constant internet connect when thy go out have a higher probability of having too much personal information on their phone. It’s a difference in mindset or mentality.

    Cell service is overrated. Given the amount of people in public that are either scrolling or on some form of a social media shows having data service is not as important as people think it is. I have a GrapheneOS phone for listening to music and if I want to check for public wi-fi for a specific task but most days I never connect online when I am out and I’ve never signed up for a cell data plan before.

    Life can be happier when someone is out in public and can’t check messages, that usually can wait anyways for a few hours, and they can enjoy the world around, not what’s on a screen.

    I fully agree, except about when it’s time to disconnect, that sounds like you go into every interaction expecting a ime that you will ultimatey cut that person out of your life. Or you go into every situation assiming at some point you will have nothing to do with someone. That’s a self fulfilling mindset.

    I do fully agree with you. It’s easier to delete a username. My point was for giing someone your phone number, random people don’t obsess over it the way the fear is hyped up about giving someone a phone number. People freely given a phone number to a business, for people to use that number, but terried to give it to a person, that’s a contradiction.

    I believe hype about the fear of giving a number is a reflection of that person’s social dysfunction along with callousness. If someone says they are scared to give someone on the street their phone number, whom they can block, that is a reflection of their delusional self-aggrandizing narcissism.


  • Have you considered the possibility his whole YouTube gig was always a scam? Look at how 1995 his website is. Has ever done a video teaching how to do anything technical so viewers can do something themself? He’s a talker. There’s no evidence of having IT skills.

    His audience is the uninformed, don’t know any better. All he does is talk. People are better search videos and watching a random person showcase how the work is done for people to follow along and teach through examples. Rob doesn’t show anything, only talks about it.

    For all viewers know, all of his videos might be his opinions based of what others say, but give him a terminal or a shell and a keyboard, he might not know how to do anything.
