Or, like, any pre-2008 American history lmao

Recognizing human rights was an anomaly over the last few years, not the norm

From what I understand, the only way to mitigate the risks relating to IME or AMD PSP is to simply not have a computer in the first place. Like I’ve said elsewhere twice now, it’s worth mitigating some risks even if we can’t mitigate all of them. I don’t want the most advanced computing device in my home to be an astrolabe.

Like I said 6 hours ago, just because I can’t mitigate all of the risk doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t mitigate as much as I reasonably can.

My 3d printer is a fire hazard, but that’s no excuse for leaving a bunch of candles unattended.

You are correct, and it doesn’t change my stance at all. It’s still worth it to mitigate risk even if you can’t mitigate all risk.

Like, the fact that my 3d printer is already a fire hazard does not justify leaving a bunch of candles unattended

Obviously, but I trust my Linux mint laptop a hell of a lot better than my aunt’s XIPPLG branded wifi cat feeder that she bought off Amazon

None of them, that’s why the only things in my house that connect to the internet are my computers, game consoles, and cell phone

The fact that Google refused to restore his account even after the police that they called said there was no child porn pisses me off to no end. They are officially allowed to close your account for no reason other than they don’t like you.

Jesus Christ they’re like bed bugs

Is it too much to ask that my phone only contain the shit that makes it work, and not anything else?

Macross 7 by Disney directly, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Simpsons by various other rights holders, and probably more that I’m not even aware of

Right now it’s just one plotline in Macross 7 that involves sexual assault, and some “offensive” episodes of Always Sunny and The Simpsons. From what I’ve read, the Macross one makes the show better, but I’d rather not set a precedent that lets them clip out every gay and trans character to please the current administration

I used to think this way, but then I found out that Disney is actively censoring media that they’ve bought the rights to, so now my argument is that you should pirate stuff to keep the original art available

fintech that handles direct money services

A perfect description

Cashapp is also sort of an entirely online pseudo bank. There are places that let you deposit and withdraw cash, but they’re like two steps above Bitcoin ATMs

I do know people who have these fully online banks though. On its own, it’s a lot less convenient then just having an account with a local credit union where you can withdraw cash for free, and I really don’t like that services like Venmo and Cashapp and Zelle are overtaking just handing physical dollar bills to each other

I mean I use Cashapp, but I could also not use it and my life wouldn’t be much harder

Can’t your purchases be tied to you via credit/debit card number? I mean obviously you can use cash, but I don’t see a lot of people using cash

It depends on where you live. Some regions have a limited list of acceptable names, some places just have limited lists of unacceptable names, but I can’t find anywhere that explicitly bans Null.

It does suck to be named Null, though. It’s like two steps down from not being given a social security number as an infant

If I’m stealing potential profits, then there wasn’t much potential. My bank account is still near empty

Pirate your shows. Not just as a defense against ads, but as a defense against Disney throwing plotlines down the Memory Hole

They also can’t amend the constitution via executive order or deport US citizens, but watch them try it anyway

I don’t want them to slam it, I want them to stop it. If any Congressperson were to physically restrain musk until he was arrested, I would move to their state and vote for them for the rest of their career.

Could be photoshopped

Brits don’t eat as much as Americans do because all their food is shit
