This is GOOD for bitcoin!

Precious bodily fluids. They deserve better protection than that.

Congratulations on getting the joke.

There are a LOT of such products. I don't touch Sony anything because of the root kit scandal, and their consecutive legal mishaps, and I don't touch ASUS after their lead designers left the company to be taken over by Wall Street, and et cetera. There's becoming fewer honest alternatives to choose from all around. Is this an effect of capitalism, do you think? Could they be correlated somehow?

If you own a Brother subscription, you can also get coffee packets, and fresh sock subscription as a service! To your door!

You know how this happens right? Old mid man gets fired, new mid man gets hired- now, how for the new mid man to qualify their own existence? Change something. Improvement! Something to show the boss. But what happens when the product is already solid, when any change made to it worsens its functions? How do you improve a fork? You can't, so instead you start adding shit to it, like better grip, sharper teeth, whatever, and the final product evolves gradually into a monster that is at the same time fork, printer, thermostat, and toilet paper dispenser.

The logical procession and ultimate conclusion of capitalism is this.

I propose setting fire to barricades of trash and car tires at strategic positions around every major city. I have some other ideas too, PM me.

Oh no step brother printer, don't leave the market.

Open source everything. Can't we just straight up crowdfund our own FOSS hardware and sell it at self-cost price? Like a syndicate?

The FTC has been in the pocket of the industry forever. Standard fare regulatory capture. There will be blood before we see the change we need.

anarchy79 , 4 months ago

Which, as we know, is not supposed to happen.

I don't know where to put it but here's about MCAS anyway, the cost-cutting system meant to keep Boeing in the game, but also took over flight controls sometimes and nose dived planes straight into the ground, causing hundreds (some say thousands!) of fatalities:

I'm starting to think Boeing is under bad management.

Netbook Gang. Bring back netbooks, best computers that ever were.

You count lack of biometrics as a drawback?

anarchy79 , 4 months ago

Yes. Kill sentimentality, it's the only way to break free.

anarchy79 , 4 months ago

Shut up! I bought you to obey, not to mouth off.

anarchy79 , 4 months ago

Pay me back some other time.

Only netbook kids will get this.

Then you should see when I killed dolan. Now that's a bunch of rustled Jimmies

Ha ha what a stupid kid!

In my view it's more "old things teach, new things tell"

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

Thanks for caring about my privacy, CNN, sorry I couldn't be more helpful in facilitating your solid privacy measures.

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

I would never do that to CNN.

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

My bad, I'm still new to this. Someone else kindly did below, no offense meant.

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

Thanks for the tip but I'm good. I'm not going to waste more energy fighting to read whatever CNN has to say if they take such issue with my "browser configuration".

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

Not today.

Not.

Today.

Yew a kind of coniferous tree which has red, berry-ike fruits, most parts of which are highly poisonous.

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

I think that's a very valid point, because that's literally what Google does with AMP links...

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

It really gets to be a lot of edge cases to keep track of nowadays though, am I the only one? I mean the collection of scripts I have to keep track of to keep everything running as normal feels like the beginning of a new operating system.

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

It seems that a lot of folk have wildly different experiences on wild variety of browsers and hardware. I use Mullvad VPN and I think their new DNS blockers seem to eradicate advertisements even on Spotify Free. I also don't think Google made the adblock rollout global, but did if for whatever subsections of the network. Looks like they've backed off for now, even, no doubt a time out to calibrate the evil cheater detecting algos...

I'll counter with

I don't want to set the world on fire

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

I use a spoof agent, that could be the problem, if, as you say, anyone would really consider it a problem not reaching fucking CNN.

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

I think they mean it would be wholly unethical reading CNN articles. :)

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

Ha ha hah!

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

I’ve got it running pretty maintenance free in a docker LXC in Proxmox and use Twingate for access to it and everything else outside my home network.

Read that sentence back to yourself and tell me there isn't a lot to keep track of. Remember, this is specifically for solving 1 issue. Sysadmins and hard core masochists will learn every framework and take a scalpel to both software and hardware if needed, but that is not 99% of the world's demographic.

You see what they're actually doing there?

"We are by law forced to give you the option to view our ads and accept our tracking, because of privacy legislation in your region. Since you are hindering us from doing so, you can't come to the birthday party".

Ok, thank you EU, I suppose! :)

That's what I've always said, you got no out, if youre a big black blob on the map, the connections show exactly who you are.

anarchy79 OP , 4 months ago

I thank the LORD for GDPR. I am amazed it actually happened. I voted Pirate Party for EU Parliament every time, or whoever was most loud about privacy protections at the time, I wrote to parliamentarians, one of whom I grew up with, and I sure like to think and hope it made a difference. Never thought I'd see something like this happen. The EU works. Democracy works.
