Ah I see. I wasn't sure what they could/would be monitoring. I still don't understand how they would block it if the computer is only connected by ethernet.

What kind of travel router were they able to block if you were connected to it over ethernet? I would think connecting by ethernet to a travel router that connects to a wireless router as a repeater would work.

The reality is that you had access to reliable internet, but they would only allow certain types of reliable internet. So you would need to communicate what your options were and work with them, or chalk it up to being an incompatible match at this point.

It doesn't sound like the shelter staff is at fault if they're just following procedures. Perhaps showing them an offer letter would have made them feel comfortable in allowing it for a little while longer.

I hope you keep trying and find a good match. I wish you the best of luck!

Boost dev was how I even found out about lemmy. So I actually followed the app.

I end up having this conversation often because I believe the Congress Apportionment Act is where we really went off the rails. With our technology, I believe we could handle 1600 representatives and they wouldn't need to be full-time careers. Would congress ever agree to repeal the act?

It's like when you cancel your Netflix when money is tight and then resub once you can afford it again.

We are just labor subscriptions for corporations.

Unfortunately, there are many plastic toothbrushes that are lasting lifetimes in our landfills. Once I learned that, I switched to eco-friendly ones. There just isn't a need for a smart/ai toothbrush, IMO.

Mine has been programming, world history, and how to. They've figured me out.

Guy was originally gender neutral as it was used to call someone stupidly bold (iirc). The term was most often used toward a single gender that was known for being stupidly bold and became synonymous with that gender. That's how it became gendered.

Sounds like Will Arnett's Murderville
