Savaran

Don’t forget, Murdoch is Australian. So can’t blame Americans alone for all this mess.

They only do satire during decent times. During bad times they’re frequently filled with actual journalism just slightly obscured.

Especially since how much ingested fiction is about this exact scenario.

It also is likely costs that are having to be done anyway because of web based sales or other distribution channels. So it’s even worse that Apple and Google act like they’re providing so much when they’re literally just preventing businesses from using their existing infrastructure.

I mean, you do understand that this money isn’t just vanishing right? It’s being spent on people, manufacturing, materials. It doesn’t just vanish into nothing.

Machine learning tool used by people too lazy to do their actual job accuses everyone else of using machine learning tools.

Sounds like a great reason to re-nationalize the public utility companies.

I would rather they fund NASA to the fullest, and nationalize SpaceX under them.

“Oh thank you for letting us know so we can verify that all five have been opened up. Wouldn’t want to miss one”

The point is this isn’t a quick thing. Go long enough in an environment as a regular and you’ll feel safer and more able to open up.

But if you’re going to argue with the advice provided then why ask?

So part of the coffee shop advice is true. Even if you feel it’s superficial to start. There’s actually a lot to be said for “fake it until you make it” type socialization. Showing up regularly at the same place, be kind to the staff, learn their names, and little by little you’ll find you start recognizing other regulars and the you. It’s okay for connections to start out not super real or deep, it still works those social muscles out. After that it’s just time investment.

I’m in a similar boat. The only major issue I’ve found people are likely to run into is mass IP blocks from MS/Google. Where do you host it? Cloud provider these days or colo type place?

I finally ended up going to a larger mail service (paid, but free) that just provides an outgoing smtp relay for me. Even on a busy month I send far below the 1k emails they require before they start charging, and their servers IP ranges aren’t blanket blocked by the Google’s of the world.
