  • my partner does not allow gaming at all

    What? I’m curious to hear why. Gaming has shown to increase hand eye coordination, better thinking and logical skills, and if you go for non-electronic gaming it can help a person develop social skills by interacting with others.

    A blanket ban on gaming just seems short sighted, rather than teaching them rights and wrongs around playing and overplay




  • Every time this pops up I have the same thing to say… there is nothing that is stopping them from setting up their own federated instance and via the ActivityPub protocol have everything delivered to them in a neatly formatted package ready to ingest, no scraping needed and nothing we could do except try to defederate with them, but we’d have to know which servers are theirs.








  • This is the correct answer. If they want you to do any work in a mobile, remote, out of hours capacity, they need to provide the device.

    I used to help manage MDM at my old company and I can tell you there is a shit load they can do once you install their utilities. For example:

    • remotely wipe your phone
    • block your ability to copy/paste between applications
    • view all web traffic to/from it (even encrypted traffic since we installed a proxy that put its own trusted root certificate in)
