my employer gave us macbook pros’ to work on and it so much spyware/malware that it made my router go off like xmas lights; so i setup a linux vm using kvm/qemu on my own hardware and retired the macbook.

i’m REALLY feeling like this rn; this 4 quarter project is going to extend into at least 5 at the end of this year.

me three

i think that’s why the show gives me so much anxiety; it’s too believable

Yeah, if porn is causing you these issues then you need to ask for help.

The rest of us don’t have this issues unless you watch straight pron

It sounds like you’re having difficulty w porn and you should seek help; for the rest of us, it’s a non issue

i can’t get over how much more they cost than a similarly spec’ed mac with macs being superior in every single benchmark (except privacy and customizability)

and ansible along with it. (or atleast any other configuration management language).

When I tried tor it was so painfully slow that I have a difficult time imagining anything using it full time

i passed that age milestone already am i’m definitely not ready

They agreed to being bussed (but they didn’t know exactly where) and Texas officials made sure to get that on paper to cya themselves against lawsuits and criminal charges
