thats what /s is for.

I wouldnt be so sure about that. I’ve heard people say stuff that was mindbogglingly dumber than that, completely seriously.

Where did anyone say anything remotely like that?

House quality is already in the shitter. Hell, not even the shitter, its down the pipe and in the septic tank.

and its not cause home owners doing repairs.

Its cause developers spinning up an LLC, buying a plot of land, shitting out a development of 300+ homes in less than 6 months that just barely meet the barest minimum of code (and anything that doesnt typically given a slide thanks to a few greased palms), just to sell all the homes in the mad housing rush before shutting down the LLC and walking away with all the money and no liability on the terrible houses they’ve built that arent suitable for living in.

CyFy on youtube highlights the problem a lot (and how hard the builders and bribed inspectors go after him for threatening the grift).

And I have own personal experience witnessing more well off friends struggle with newly bought houses being built like shit at best, to needing 10s, to 100s of thousands of dollars in repairs less than a year after purchase at worse.

Thats some goddamn thought police shit.

Also tells you how goddamn awful the powers that be are, that the only way they can stop criticism of their badness is to ban anyone that even gives the lowest effort agreement with the criticism.

and to deliever america (and greenland and canada) to russia, for their master Putin.

I think a lot of thje problem is just wanting a cheap controller, and cheap controllers typically arent well made and have problems that can be mistaken for linux issued when used on linux.

Its why I ended up just buying a official PS5 controller on black friday for 50% off, wasnt cheap… but doesnt have any of the problem the cheap PoS’s have either.

as vaccination rates plummet, freedom soars sores

My friends who are less tech literate swear by brave

I am entirely unshocked that people who don’t know shit, swear by bad products and scams.

because theyve been laying groundwork and slowly infiltrating every corner of our society for over 50 years.

The slow burn was for purpose, to keep people from noticing, and so that anyone that did notice and point it out would look like a crackpot.

and, imho, I think they didnt expect the opportunity trump presented globally, in his first term, but they chose to come out of the shadows and try to exploit it regardless, which is why they’ve had the stumbling blocks they have had that has given opportunity to fight it.

not only refused to restore the account, but still insisted he was a pedophile producing child pornography despite the cops and doctors and every other authority involved insisting he wasnt, and that the images were medically necessary, and refuse to even give/let him get a backup of all his family pictures, emails, etc.

and theres gonna be a lot more of it once this stupid invasive spyware rolls out and gets going.

If our parents and grandparents photos were digitized, they’d all probably be labled child porn producers, because almost every parent/grandparent/etc has some picture of their newborn getting a sink bath or some other completely harmless, and otherwise normal photo.

and I think its so they can artificially inflate their numbers. They arent doing shit to stop actual child exploitation, so they hammer hard on this shit so they can make a big show of “cracking down and stopping” it.

Hes the kind of person that gets haughty and arrogant over warnings to be safe.

and the first person to start crying about “how did this happen, how could anybody let this happen, why didnt anyone stop this from happening!” the second they are personally fucked over by ignoring the repeated warnings they were given.

I dont know why people keep recommending brave.

its a fucking scummy fucking browser that has a history of stealing money, hijacking referal codes (like honey just got in deep trouble over), installing unnecessary software without consent and more.

Its a classic example of using “BUT THE CHILDREN” to be invasive dickheads.

And it immediately reminds me of the story of the guy whose kid had a rash in the diaper area during covid, and the pediatrician requested pictures to remotely diagnose and treat, which google flagged as child pornography and called the cops on him, and banned/locked him out of everything (phone number, emails, pictures, etc etc) because he had everything on google.

and no amount of the police, or even doctor, insisting the pictures were medical necessity and not child pornography would convince google to restore his acount or even let him recover his number/email/pictures/etc.

everyone wants to force you to use apps instead of websites, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of apps are just websites…in a app wrapper, because normal websites and normal browsers have inbuilt protections for you.

Apps don’t.

Idiots install apps, give them the 400,000 permissions they ask for, then go on their merry way…ignorant to the fact that they just installed a data vacuum on their phone thats siphoning everything off of it to be used and sold and resold for marketing purposes… Even the phone itself its not safe, cause its sitting there, listening to your conversations, even when not on a call, to more “Accurately” spam you with bullshit.

Something tells me you’d be far less mocking about it if it was you getting sold something, and not getting the full amount.

USB-C is very hard to manufacture and expensive as fuck as a result.

thats why.

Especially when most devices don’t need the bandwidth or power needs of USB-C.
