  • I have no idea where people who make this garbage get their info.

    First, I see nothing “cultural” about these designations, these are regional designations.

    I’ve lived or worked in quite a few of the places listed, and pretty much every one of those is inaccurate.

    The “Chesapeake” label - I’ve never once heard that term used to describe that region, and I have family and friends who grew up there, and I’ve spent a lot of time there. If someone were to say “Chesapeake” they’d be asked what region of the Chesapeake they’re referring to, as it’s that large body of water there - the largest estuary in the world, if I remember right, or if they were referring to Chesapeake City, or just the Bay.

    What’s labeled the Gulf Coast of Florida, most people would call the Panhandle (which is considered part of the Gulf Coast, just has its own designation), with the rest of the Gulf Coast extending down the entire… Gulf Coast of Florida, which measures in the thousands of miles.

    These maps keep showing up, and it’s like they’re done by someone who’s never even read about any of the places, or looked at an actual map.




  • Meh, no one should be on Facebook.

    Too many people say nothing when it’s mentioned, so tacit approval is assumed.

    I’ve blocked sites like Twitter and FB, etc, on all my devices and networks. My friends and family still send me links, after I’ve repeatedly told them my devices can’t go to those websites (I’ve never once in my life been on either one).

    So I think it’s appropriate to point out using FB is as problematic as Reddit (worse actually. It needs to be continually said.

    FB had the Cambridge Analytica scandal that exposed how bad it is, and people still use it 🤦🏼‍♂️. They had tracking pixels for years, and whole I’ve never even visited the FB website, those bastards have a profile on me.

    So no, fuck FB.





  • Everybody in my team gets to own something. What you own depends on your capability.

    This is a point I try to constantly make when people don’t understand why 2 people have the same title but don’t really have the same job, especially in technical fields.

    No two people have the same set of skills, so we all end up taking on the tasks we’re more capable of than the next person.


  • Yep.

    But in the Real World, what’s the pragmatic difference between Graphene and a well-managed Lineage or DivestOS device, since security and privacy are both managed via layers?

    I’m genuinely not being snarky. I tried running Graphene and had issues, and their support was atrociously condescending and critical, so now I’m running DivestOS instead. I’ve run Lineage on other devices without Google.
