I probably first got the weird idea when I signed up for Gmail and they made a whole show and dance about how your storage space just continually increases. The little storage space ticker was animated to the point of annoyance.
Today Google just annoys me with alerts that I'm 90% full and better give them money or else.
They give two good tldrs near the bottom of the article:
The armor, said Wald, doesn’t go where the bullet holes are. It goes where the bullet holes aren’t
If you go to the recovery room at the hospital, you’ll see a lot more people with bullet holes in their legs than people with bullet holes in their chests. But that’s not because people don’t get shot in the chest; it’s because the people who get shot in the chest don’t recover.
I was drunk when I commented but I think I was trying to imply that the survivors can't always tell the complete story.
Just posting a comment for all the people that did die 1 times and aren't able to comment now. How do you think this sort of thing works again? You should look up the story about the airplane mechanic in WWII
Or you could be like the company I previously worked for and not monitor anything with any seriousness, but a lowly tech managing some one-off software installs for the office PCs (me) might notice software that shouldn't exist and report it. Happened to a new guy, the VPN to his home got higher ups combing through his work, and was the final icing on the cake after they also found emails from work to a personal email with customer information attached. They didn't even entertain an excuse, he was sacked same day. (This was all pre COVID, there was no such thing as work from home)
So yea, definitely...VPN might not be the hammer that falls, but it can start the hunt and still burn you. Someone might use it to browse lemmy, other people might use it to steal company data. It's not worth the risk for a company to attempt to differentiate between the two. Obligatory 'your mileage may vary', especially now with the COVID push to work from home, but it happens!
You're a legend. Glad to see you here
Watch the documentary The Internet's Own Boy. It's very much worth the watch.
The most impressive part is the lack of footprints on Amy's side. She can swing that ass like a cement truck
The US should have put Kissinger out to pasture 20 years ago.
Calling it now: Class action lawsuit in 4-5 years over deceptive subscription charges totalling $500m-$1b.
It might not be quite what you're looking for but some of these maybe.

This entire community is just one poster with some homoerotic fixation on Justin Trudeau.
