God damn, Jellyfin still hasn’t figured out intro skipping?

In English that more general word for the entire industry is “tech”. Thats the closest comparison to just using the word “computers”.

Generally speaking software development is not a part of IT.

It’s always been weird to me as someone who isn’t an engineer in degree or title why those with degrees in engineering think people shouldn’t use an accurately descriptive word like engineer when it’s perfectly appropriate just because it’s a little to close to the title of their licensed profession.

Engineer is a verb, to devise or contrive something. Simply, to design a construct. A programmer by definition engineers a program and is therefore by the rules of the English language, an engineer.

They may not be a Licensed Professional Engineer, but an Engineer they remain.

OP probably has symmetrical fiber so there’s little functional difference. Unless you mean the ISP would just assume that all that upload usage is due to torrenting. In that case, you’d be surprised at how much upload somebody can utilize when they actually have access to it. iCloud/google photos backups of a bunch of pictures/videos you take while you’re out suddenly occurring when you connect to your home WiFi, streaming yourself playing video games online, all kinds of stuff can cause all that usage. They can still suspect but what are they supposed to do about it?

A TB over the course of a week. Thats less than 200GB a day, which is like, one update to a Call of Duty game.

Sounds accurate to the east coast from NYC to Florida. Is it better out west?

Take a trip to PA, all the grocery and convenience stores have added seating areas so that they can legally sell beer and wine lmao.

Buddy I think it’s time to talk to your wife.

Which one of the three do you have?

I don’t know why someone would hate it, but it’s a really trash chain that is easily outdone by the dingiest of local diners.

Well that wouldn’t be the point here because the meme is comparing Twitter and Threads, not Mastodon/Lemmy and Threads. That’s why it doesn’t make sense lol.

I just don’t think data privacy is even in the top 10 reasons why the average Threads user is on Threads. They’re on Threads because Twitter is getting worse and less usable by the day due to Musk’s erratic decisions, and Threads offers them something that’s functional, free, and not rate-limited.

I certainly don’t want to embrace threads due to data privacy issues, but I also don’t use Twitter.

Not that I’m a fan of Facebook here but are you like, assuming Twitter wasn’t collecting your personal data? Also you use your Instagram account to log in to threads so by using it you’re not giving up any more personal information than you already were. Going from not using Twitter or Facebook or Instagram to using Threads might be a bad idea but if you already use any one of those three it makes zero actual difference which big tech billionaire you’re giving your personal information to.
