Yes, that’s how computers work. Like all other depreciating assets.

My question is less about the OS than it is the manufacturers paying to advertise on X. Buying from them is supporting X indirectly.

I did only a quick search really but couldn’t find if any major android phone manufacturers had stopped advertising on there?

His age or individual knowledge of topics outside of his work are non-issues.

He has chosen to take marching orders from Nazi President Musk, is installing back doors into sensitive systems, and has a highly suspect history that implicates him in cyber crime activities which would likely prevent him from obtaining a security clearance.

As I have stated numerous times, there is plenty of info available to criticise this man and his age is irrelevant.

Sympathise deez nuts you moron

We both know why you’re here

Because I’m pointing out how idiotic it is to criticise someone based on their age when there is an absolute truckload of valid reasons to criticise them?

You tell me a 23 years old can be compromised

It’s almost like there’s context here. https://lemmy.world/comment/14942989

If only there were a vetting process to allow Government to check if someone is or is likely to be compromised!

Maybe once the person has been cleared through that process we could give them something that can be recognised between agencies? Some sort of clearance?

At 23 you can hold a security clearance. Being 23 does not make you a liar, security risk or inherently untrustworthy.

At 50 you can be a lying stealing murdering meth addict.

His age is not the problem here.

You are demonstrably wrong. Perhaps there is an issue with your frontal lobes if you cannot comprehend this simple concept.

There it is again, infantilizing an adult.

There’s no evidence this guy has been tricked. There’s a lot of evidence he’s a piece of shit.

A 23 year old is an adult, can drive, have children and kill people in war.

Stop infantilising the person. You should criticise them based on their actual actions.

So criticise him for being a boot licking clown employed by the Swasticar king.

Age is not a valid criticism here.

Criticising the installation of back doors is valid, trying to paint me as not old enough is hilarious and more ageism.

Not only am I old enough, I happen to be a cyber security expert, capable of understanding that a Government department has more than one system, and backdoors to one system does not magically grant access to nukes.

I’m almost old enough to be his father, and also old enough to recognise that you’re a fucking muppet

His age and his lack of clearance are entirely separate matters, one is worthy of criticism and the other isn’t.

Ageism right here. There is nothing preventing a 23 year old from holding a security clearance and being as trustworthy as a 50 year old.

FYI a vasectomy isn’t a 100% guarantee against getting a woman pregnant as it can sometimes heal, even years after.

A DNA test should still have been ordered in that circumstance.

LW may block certain VPNs but I can confirm that I am able to access LW from at least one well known VPN provider.

This may also be due to them using Cloudflare.

It really must be…

The plan is their mygov id system and this has been years in the making.

Australian governments (both lib and labor) are on board with this and have been salivating over the idea of an internet more locked down than South Korea’s.

Firefighting is known to attract arsonists… probably a bit harder to vet known criminals
