Ooh. Whataboutism. So original!

Actually, no.

“National security” has always been a euphemism for anything that threatened the status of the American oligarchy.

Yeah, this isn’t appropriate at all for this community.

Unintended consequences my ass.

Good to know! I guess I should admit I’ve ditched windows entirely ever since I got a Steam Deck.

KDEConnect supports Windows.

Huh. I visualize a whiteboard in my head. Then I…do the math.

I’m also fairly certain I’m autistic, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If but perfect you mean perfectly exploitative, sure. The walled garden issue has nothing to do with ease of use my friend; in fact, the whole point is to do the opposite - make anything outside the wall impossibly hard to access or use.

Good to know. Might but it just to support the author.

Anyone got a link yet? 😎

Let’s hope that’s all he bombs, right?

Somewhat ironically, they understaffed the airport they all fly through, and yet somehow it was innocent civilians that died.

I detest this timeline. I am disgusted, really. I’ve never quite understood hate, though; to me hate feels like making a solemn vow that subject of my hate will always have power over me. Because hate is irrational. It overpowers reason. But it is only through reason and logic I find myself.

The catch 22 is fear. Fear also deprives is of reason, but it also shames us, lessens us. Just as Yoda taught us, “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

I don’t wanna suffer anymore. But I don’t want anyone else to suffer, either. Not even those responsible; I just want them gone from our timeline.

Yes? And if you fight fire with fire the whole world burns.

I do not blame you. I just happen to be the most stubborn idiot I know. shrug

Edit: I go back to my feed and see this:

Got a good chuckle at the bitter irony…

I fucking hate this timeline.

I keep seeing people say this. However, hate is what created this timeline. I don’t believe it’s what will get us into a new one.

I mean no offense towards you; I want you to know this. I guess I just finally realized what it is that bothers me about that statement. In fact, I share your sentiment. Because not only are they poorly made, common sense safety measures are removed and replaced with poorly engineered crap that traps people, while other badly designed components catch fire and burn them to death.

Right? Like, seriously, we all know somebody is just butthurt because their stock options tanked.

Oh, wait, I’m sorry! That was very unpatriotic of me, wasn’t it? I mean, we all know that winning an election guarantees being heavily rewarded with insider trading, right? It’s not like they’re there to represent constituents or anything; I mean, doesn’t everyone know we’re a republic, not a democracy?!

Sigh…

I agree it’s a powerful tool! I was specifically responding to “problem solved” in the previous comment. My reply was in no way meant as a general review of VPNs.

Not the magic bullet people think they are. Oh, and you can’t turn it off, so you’ll have to take the loss in network speed on absolutely everything. And better know how to configure each device so it doesn’t go ahead and check leak your IP anyways, which also restricts choice of devices you use. Cause remember, if any device on your network ever connects to the net without the VPN, then your anonymity just went out the window.

I always prefer NoneOfYour@damn-business.com

Considering the recent policy change saying it’s ok to specifically accuse lgbtq+ of being mentally ill, no, it’s not just reports. Not a chance. This is by design.
