Fuck authoritarianism

I disagree. Software not terminating immediately is grounds for uninstallation. It should update silently while it runs.

You can fork it and continue developing it if you want

I think the simple fact that depression and anxiety are rising drastically amongst youth is enough of an indicator to say that they are not turning out OK

What they say and what they do are two different things. They say free market but they mean favoratism. They say small government but they mean –you guessed it– favoratism. It’s like how lefties say communism but vote for gun control.

I strongly believe that libertarian ideology does not exist in US politics. We only have two different flavors of authoritarianism. The only libertarians in the US are gun enthusiasts (note: not actually allied with the right at all) and drug dealers.

Libertarians are a political minority, they control nothing in the US. This is the leftist equivalent of “it’s the damn commies!”

I’m certain you can think of a reason not to if you really try.

I grew up on the internet with no real parenting and I turned out fine.

wonders why I think about dying at least once every 5 minutes every day

I haven’t watched the video yet, I always save his videos for my morning routine.

Anyway, I’m replacing my company blacklist with a whitelist, there’s just too many scumbag companies. The default assumption should be that any given company would leave me dead in a ditch for the chance to make a one dollar profit. They can earn my trust through tremendous effort if they want my money.

I thought the idea was that when we spend USD, we do so under the expectation that our government will protect us from malicious and deceptive companies. When did this change? Anyone remember a time when this was the case, or was it always a fantasy?

If Amazon genuinely fits your use case, more power to you. I think the problem is the average person being duped into thinking they need Amazon Prime as the default position.

I don’t believe them and neither should you. They are looking for an easy PR win and you’re handing it to them. Title should be “Google makes the dubious claim that it will support right to repair”

I will sooner implant a bullet before this proprietary bullshit

Is the computer racist?

Ahoy

Lot of talk about Mozilla, but what about Firefox? I’m not using the CEO as my web browser.

Also my first thought

Methamphetamine is serotonergic. Adderall is not. Methamphetamine tends to induce psychosis that makes the user hostile and dangerous. Adderall certainly can, but the chances of that happening are hardly comparable. There are numerous valid reasons why meth has an extreme stigma and Adderall does not. Attempting to infect Adderall with that stigma makes life so much harder for people like me who can’t function without taking it. People ought to be precise with their language when they talk about things they understand, and they ought to be silent about things they don’t understand. Other than to ask questions to attempt to understand of course, but how often does that happen?

Third choice: Delete your account and never look back.

Adderall is not meth. Don’t call it that.

I always dissuade anyone from buying Intel for any purpose. A backdoored CPU undermines your security and privacy to an unacceptable degree.
