it's a good principal but I hear it a lot so it's a thing I get annoyed about because it's directed at me even though I have the receipts and proven record that it's not a fact
that is what really matters, rich or poor. I have lived as an ultra poor person with only the cloths on my back and, thankfully, on my best friends couch. I now live in a big old historical house. The guy who built my house also subscribed to the ideal that ethics was paramount. He was famous for creating the Sunday Edition newspaper so the farming community could have an edition that was specifically for them. Containing the important things a rural, isolated person would need from a news source.
I choose to work in state government because doing something that adds to the community is more important to me then the dollar bill. I could easily make 50K more in a corprate job but the dollar is not important. I have almost a million dollars saved but that is always for the rainy day that will come.
When I see people asking for money, I ask them when was the last time they ate a full meal. You will find that hungry people will be very honest and giving a hungry person a full meal is one of the greatest rewards. That feeling is a harsh reailty. My city is full of homeless, well beyond the norm. It is historically a hobo rest stop. So I feel obligated to make sure new faces are fed.
So what is the good life... IDK
but I am trying and it starts with caring about my fellow person. Not taking advantage of someone, unless they are trying to get one over on me. Welcoming the stranger and caring about the little moments where you see someone trying their best and telling them you see it.
of course I bastardized the story but if you want to learn about it, the two guys are Arthur Denny and David Maynard. The two that hated each other so much that even in their day it was legendary. The phrase "skid row" was a byproduct of their work.
there was two guys who were tasked with creating the street layout in Seattle, when it was being established. They were notorious for hating each other. they split the downtown in half and so to this day, half of downtown works one way and the other half works another.
Pike and Pine Streets are the mid point and even today you can see that division that they created
I don't know for sure but I suspect it is like many of the other types of exploits where someone makes a normal looking URL but inside of it hides conditions that makes whatever is inspecting the URL to know that it should open in the web browser do something before it opens the web browser. Like before it starts the web browser does it it tells it to download some code and run it and that code then hijacks your "system" because the system service is running the code
the dumb shit that locks down the wallpaper is usually a group policy and those are basically on/off type options with very little configuration options
the Outlook profile thing with the phone number is usually because IT doesn't get to control that and its in the HR section of your profile on the 365 portals, so the path of least resistance is just put it in your email signature and stop bothering us with your requests that take lots of manpower because microsoft has made this all so overtly complicated so that they can sell more stuff to your buisness that requires more input that nobody knows how to do because microsoft write shitty info documents that read like a jigsaw puzzle
that's fair and I agree but it's not a true maxim
