AFAIR the book is pretty much open-ended and that very well could be the case. But for the movie they've made the plot more consistent making it not impossible, but less likely.

Had Fight Club been written today, the main character, Tyler, Marla and Bob would all be the same person 😅
The issues the main character is dealing with aren't too different from what people face today. And the way he deals with them are sure unhealthy, but sadly it's not much worse than what we sometimes see in reality nowadays. At least in the movie — the book was darker, but I don't remember it too well.
I'm looking for a job. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.
In 2024 I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.
In 2023 I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.
Before that I helped develop a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 40,000 Covid-19 tests per day.
I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but I have years of success working remotely, and I am also willing to consider relocation. I can start January 1.
Please check out my CV.

There are memes circulating in some parts of Fedi already about Nicole and this wave of SPAM 😂
I only got this message once, ignored it and never got it again. I have a theory that blocking it gets you added to some sort of SPAM list and only makes things worse — but it's just a theory.

Keeping things separate is never a bad strategy!
And yes, the process of figuring out what to allow and what to keep denied can be daunting, expecially when you have to deal with Google or MS web "apps" which bring scripts and content in from dozens of different domains — on the other hand, you don't have to do it often: once you figure it out, it usually keeps working at least till the end of the year 😅

True, it might be tricky — even though there is an option to achieve adaptive design in pure CSS now, some websites still rely on JS, so the safest bet is to enable it only on the websites you trust and use some sort of containerisation or at least "private mode" on those you do not 😩
Just got a cold call email advertising training in “ChatGPT for Accountants”.
Folks, I just want to remind you all that “vibe accounting” is better known as “fraud” or “embezzlement”. Please plan accordingly.
@btanderson
Don't worry, they would undergo proper financial vibe-audit 😂

The most important question is would they use a Telegram chat room this time? 🤭

AFAIR among other "fingerprinting resistance" about:config prefs there's one that makes the browser report a preset resolution — no need to change actual Window size 😁
I believe it exists even in stock Firefox, but I can't recall its name.
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
