What unique privilege do you enjoy that most people lack?

#Privilege #Awareness #ShareYourStory Hey everyone! 🌟 Let’s dive into a really interesting topic: privilege. Specifically, I’d love to hear about a privilege you personally enjoy that you think most people don’t have. It’s important to reflect on these things as it can lead to greater awareness and understanding among us all. Here’...

If anyone, anyone at all (?) was confused, the speaker has his nose well into the trough, a man who disregards parliamentary conventions (pretty much all they have In the place of rules) to suit whoever is in power.

Commons Speaker’s £180k bill for first-class flights and hotels. One trip to a luxury Cayman Islands resort by Lindsay Hoyle cost the taxpayer nearly £23,000

while #rightwing has the #privilege (?) to live a #life in #ignorance and #stupid and thus not fix any #problems (until they become so big that everyone starts running in circles in #panic)

#lefties also have the #right to a #happy #life

i know it's #hard being #positive #optimistic #inspiring when #madness is getting so much attention (which can lead to #depression)

but he is right, if it's financially possible without breaking your back: go #travel do something positive :D

do whatever u can to become your own #antidepressant

I kind of hate when people post comments assuming domain-specific knowledge from laymen such as "the fact people need to be told this is a little troubling to say the least".

It shows those people have not tried to even see how hard bootstrapping the knowledge they're assuming of others actually is, especially now that search engines have enshittified into uselessness and the hardware their comment pertains to no longer comes with useful manuals for their operation.

In a lot of cases, the knowledge also pertains to hacks for patching over design flaws & botched work that should've been done properly to start with (which would make said knowledge entirely obsolete as anything other than a curiosity).

It reeks of unacknowledged #privilege (and a heaping of normalization of deviance).
Apparently #consumergrade #SSDs do not actually do anything to make their volatile write-cache safe.

What kind of asshole decided this was a good idea? Fucking infrastructural privilege assumptions.

As it turns out, yes, a *lot* of consumergrade SSDs will lose flushed data on a power outage.

So that means unless one has the privilege to be able to afford a UPS or enterprise SSDs, one otherwise has to disable the cache (promptly getting rid of most of the performance).

Hardware designers, much like software designers, should be required to live in underprivileged shitholes before releasing anything intended for wide public use.

Privilege Under Pressure: The Shifting Data Breach Investigation Landscape

A number of federal court decisions have made it more challenging or harder for entities to shield forensic reports from discovery in litigation. This article mentions a few of the more notable decisions and their implications:

Important interview with #privileged #treasurysec #bessent on #BloombergTV
#federalworkforce #dogees #tusk #ukraine #zelensky

#Protip #media interviews: Never call anyone an “ #averageAmerican”. Nor their kids #average. You have no experience of life outside your bubble of #privilege. Working for the gummint was steady work with steady benefits. Your idea is to make everyone grovel.

And learn to stop smirking on camera. Save it for #SiliconValley @bloomberg

Continued thread

2/2 also recognising now how my previous ability to post and engage so much more here was really rooted in immense privilege: as a university lecturer, i had a steady income, control over my time, confidence, freedom, identity: all this is now gone, all making me unable to post. Just wanted to really acknowledge this. #Privilege
