I couldn't care less. I will block every advertisement in every form that is within my ability to block. If that causes the failure of Youtube, Google and the fall of western civilization in the process, so be it.
how can illegal immigrants send money home but regular workers live paycheck to paycheck?
They live six to a room.
...and the rest of their family spends those dollars on a 3rd world cost of living.
The frustrating thing is that there's no clear way to know exactly how much you're exposing yourself with this. Even the article (and related links) don't spell it out adequately (IMO).
For example, I just purchased a new(ish) 2022 Nissan. I don't have the Nissan app on my phone and I don't subscribe to any of their connectivity services. Is my data staying in the car or is it finding some conduit back to Nissan? Is connecting my phone to the console for music and maps opening me up to Nissan's data collection? Is using bluetooth for music and hand-free calls exposing my data? Is there any way to know the specific avenues for data collection that present a risk and how can they be mitigated?
Tabs suck. Use a real editor and spaces work fine.
I wish they'd do something useful, like make all their utilities having a --json output option so I can do useful stuff with jq rather than playing games with cut, awk, sed and grep to find what I'm looking for. The fact that there's a need to make accommodations for systemd in the userland utilities seems like a massive regression and a serious red flag for the overall direction of things.
Ugh, no. The blues are awesome. Blues music does not celebrate ignorance, nor is it whiny.
As a long time working the ops side of things as a Unix/Linux admin, I love docker with k8s. The devs. can have whatever kind of ignorant environment setup they want. As long as the final image passes security, is up to date, and I can define the deployment parameters, it's 100% on them how well it works in production.
I've administered BSD servers professionally and I have to say that it was one of the nicest, most consistent, operating systems I've worked with. I've worked with Linux since the mid-90s and done more than my fair share of Windows Server/AD admin. and I would gladly manage a room full of BSD hosts again.
