  • For large networks with over 20 devices, I find them acceptable not because they are good but because other options are more expensive.

    For small networks? I despise them

    1. The UI keeps changing and moving around settings for no good reason after each update
    2. You can’t setup devices directly if you have a device or two, you are required to setup a control center
    3. The control center is already slow and sluggish, but the real nightmare starts when you start having 100 or more devices
    4. Last couple of years they have been releasing batches with serious issues, software and hardware. The way they accepted recall for unfixable devices was so limited that many people are left with broken APs that will kill their network occasionally and the poor consumer has no idea why.
    5. Honestly fuck 'em. there’s more but I don’t wanna give them any more rent space in my head on a Sunday lol




  • I would ask you to reconsider. Maybe look for an open source alternative or just another solution rather than wp plugins, or wp in general. There are already alternative foss programs to wp if you really need a suite for making the website.

    The reason I say this is simply security. Let’s say you get your hands on a fully malware free version of that plugin today, so far so good. What happens when the plugin needs a security update? Your version is pirated so it obviously won’t be updated automatically. Now until you find an updated pirated version your website has a security hole that you can’t do anything about unless you disable the plugin. Depending on plugin, now your website is either broken, slow or whatever you get the point




  • I am in complete agreement with you on all these points.

    The issue is, workers ARE already being exploited. The idea is regulations would bring about safeguards that would try to prevent these scenarios.

    But let’s say what you said has happened and now someone is in this situation you described. There are two scenarios:

    1. Prostitution is legal
    2. Prostitution is illegal… now what? commit crimes? starve? It’s not like because prostitution is illegal suddenly there are new prospects available to this person in this broken system

    I’d argue decriminalization of prostitution does more good than harm in this situation.


  • Your first fear is completely valid, hopefully good policy and active regulations can prohibit that. Still can’t imagine it will be worse than the current state that sex workers face.

    For the second point, while job centers are tasked to find you a job in your field, it is funny to imagine a conversation going like:

    • So I have a doctorate in chemistry with 6 years of experience in my field, looking for a new position
    • Sorry Dr. we don’t have any openings atm, but we do need an office twink, unfortunately our last office twink is now t’was

  • Idk man, I feel like that’s work in general. Like would you be doing what you are doing right now if you could just do whatever you like? Or if you just a better choice?

    A lot of us are just trying to make ends meet with whatever tools we got. I don’t think making prostitution illegal is gonna help the ones we want to help, but regulating it could. The focus should be having the working person to be the one in charge, not johns or brothels or any other third parties.
