Some breaks are mandated by the FCC for station identification. These “Hard Breaks” are at the same time on all stations.

I’m lost on this. What is the connection between Stack Overflow and Copilot? From the outside, that’s just the notification that Microsoft is pushing to all windows users, regardless of what they’re doing.

I’ve been reading his stuff since Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. You’ll definitely enjoy his other books.

Just reread hitchhikers myself, and I’m rereading the Robots series. I love the mix of sci-fi and noir that the Robots books have

How has your outlook on tech companies/privacy changed since coming here? (startrek.website)
 

Back in the 2000’s, I was decently involved in the tech world, especially privacy and following/using FOSS. I fell off in a major way as the strain of work and college took over and I just didn’t have the energy to devote to the cause and maintenance of my own resources. During the pandemic, I deleted my Facebook account as I watched friends and family become hateful. I stopped using Twitter as well and finally deleted it when the Musky Boy took over. Reddit was still a community I had trust in as it was relatively anonymous and the user experience was customizable so I could avoid the worst parts. With Reddit’s anti-user and especially anti-accessibility moves I woke up. Y’all at startrek.website gave me a safe starting point to the Fediverse, and I dove back into taking control of my computing experience. How has the upheaval of corporate social media changed your online life?
