You’re missing a fundamental issue with these suggestions and even signal. In that the vast majority of people don’t care.

It’s great being on signal with two of my friends whilst the other 50 use WhatsApp which I refuse to do.

Signal requires a phone number, I use Signal.

How does encrypted email work when we are discussing messaging platforms?

Do you trust using third party encryption keys or are you going to get everybody you meet to learn PGP.

Not when you pay with cash a few towns away.

I can go to a supermarket and buy a phone and SIM for less than £10.

Just buy a burner. Use it once to sign up and throw it away.

I guess I was wondering if there had been studies on the effectiveness of unions and looking at how many, if not negligible, have had reported cases of corruption and / or fraud.

Like I say I do believe unions do more good for workers than bad, but I also do believe that any organisation that gets to a certain size is inevitably going to be corrupt as the people that are going to be corrupt will do what is necessary to rise to the top.

I’m not doubting this but I wonder if there is any data to support this claim.

As it would be good ammunition to counter the anti-union rhetoric.

I guess because it’s absurd you’ll remember it easier.

Kind of how people can recall a deck of cards by placing a person doing an action to an object (PAO) in familiar places. It’s the absurdity that makes you remember.

This one looks stoned so it’s chill.

Happy cake day.

Dashlane is pretty big and I’ve not seen any negative reports from security researchers. They offer bug bounties for people that do find vulnerabilities etc.

I believe the consensus is that password managers are better than any human password scheme. I could host my own manager but then there are more vectors for an attack, and why reinvent the wheel.

And wages? They couldn’t pay the drivers as little as Uber by making them contractors.

To answer your first sentence. Perhaps it to try and show an interest in something you like.

It’s a lot harder for smaller businesses to invest in that level of development without hedge fund money and trying to corner the market.

If a small taxi company is making £100k profit a year it’s a big ask to invest £20k+ on developer to compete with Uber for what? A small increase in profit.

You need to expand as well as innovate. Hence the one taxi company near me buying out others to have a larger market.

I guess it depends where you are. In my city there is a taxi company that started buying lots of smaller ones. They now have an app like Uber so you can order it and see where it is. Because they bought so many firms they’re everywhere and considerably cheaper than Uber. I guess it’s only viable in large cities.

Unless you’re the driver.

Clearly more than me. If you’ve seen this on so frequently.

I’ll admit it was a reactionary comment as I see the sentiment a lot without any nuance and it kinda annoys me, considering I make conscientious choices all the time and people like you (maybe not you in this instance) will pass judgement and make me question myself.

It was also a little strange shitting on a places public transport infrastructure when my city likely has the second best in the whole of Britain, so it seemed like you’re coming from a place of ignorance rather than passion. Pretty easy to go online and check out the public transport in Manchester, and realise yeah they’ve got it good there. Although, the buses in smaller towns leave something to be desired.

There could be 10 million, but it wouldn’t change the fact it is new to me.

That said I don’t really spend a lot of time looking at memes rkid.

Thanks for taking the time, you really didn’t have to.

The other person just seems unreasonable to me. All we can do is our best and try to make conscientious choices and hope we leave this place better than before we got here.

I just looked for secondary school teacher jobs in Manchester and they start at $30k for some. Many had day rates. Less than a labourer would get.
