Huh?

Sure, let’s make them pay a paltry sum that mostly enriches the lawyers, and everyone else gets a check for a nickel.

My theory is that anyone who’s bothered by gay/trans/etc people is a closeted something and doesn’t want to be reminded of their own insecurities.

They know exactly what they’re doing, it’s a “purification,” not entirely dissimilar to the same that happened in the 1930s in Germany.

Eh I don’t see that happening, the sheer amount of data Google has on the US population is probably quite useful to the admin, for, uh, reasons.

You’re probably just better going with a fork of FF that has all that nonsense stripped out.

Did it ever occur to you that people can have a mix of views that don’t fully conform to one ideology or another? It’s a spectrum, not riding the fence. Like politics, not everything is a team sport.

I paid for the lifetime pass maybe, 10 years ago? I dunno, it’s been a very long time. It’s still my primary. I’ve been trialing Jellyfin, but there are still enough quirks that my wife (non-techie at all) won’t put up with, so yeah. That, and Plex makes it too easy to share outside my house, not sure where Jellyfin is at with it. I appreciate Jellyfin for what it is though, it has a lot of potential.

Yup, them “shadow profiles” will become sentient one day

Better yet, backup /home to a separate disk and replace after install.

Has no log VPN

“We have no record of anything, oh well.”

Or the delusional. Anyone with a serious security concern has mitigation plans in place. This is for people who think they need security because reasons, mainly to satiate their ego.

I remember right after the UHC assassination I was in getting a haircut, and there was another guy getting cut that was loudly spouting off about how he was afraid for his life because he’s a CEO. Like dude, you’re a CEO of a small local financial services firm, not the CEO of a massive conglomerate. I’m technically the CEO of my small contracting company that’s incorporated. We are not targets (unless you’re a massive prick, which by the way he was talking was quite possible), but if one of us got popped it wouldn’t make the news, nor are we likely to be targeted, calm down lol.

So, some as graphene.

These people aren’t thinking that far ahead, they just view it as a way to increase their own revenue without a thought or care as to wider consequence. I can’t say I exactly blame them, we’re a small town that practically lives on Facebook and these people are running respectable small businesses to support their families, but I also refuse to play the Zuck game.

I’m currently working getting advertising going for my contracting business, and the number of people straight getting mad at me because I refuse to use Meta and Google is too damn high. I refuse to give Meta any business whatsoever, though I might do an SEO campaign with Google/bing.

Magic

Old hardware used to get really upset before plug and play became common. I remember I was playing some old racing game with a joystick on a win95 box, and accidentally pulled the connector out, lost my entire game because the system flipped out.

Bingo.

Contributing and/or maintaining a FOSS project < not getting murdered by my wife for “playing on my computer instead of spending time with my family.”

It could be some of the most mission-critical work imaginable, but she’d still see it as goofing around because I’m not getting paid, and she requires attention. And I love the hell out of my wife, so happy wife indeed equals happy life.

Aye, but I’m talking about those working at said landfill, and I do believe there’s a huge predication within this conversation that all participants are fully law abiding folks, even marginally. Not saying you’re wrong in any sense, but I’m just on about the gray area of individuals employed by said landfill just keeping a keen eye open for a potentially valuable little box and then running off into the sunset should they happen on it. Pure speculation, of course.
