You cut and paste the watermark

but go show some uninitiated person a Windows forum where power users are talking about maintaining their system daily or weekly, the average person is going to still nope out.

The OS is immaterial, showing anyone uninitiated the shit power users do, you’ll get that reaction. If you show me, a professional windows admin and a homelab linux admin, a Mac power user forum and my eyes will cross. But for windows or potentially Linux, it’s fine. Don’t use the users’ lack of understanding as a mark against it, because that same mark is on every OS.

Linux itself has been usable by the tech illiterate for over a decade. My dead mother could use it just fine after I got sick of reinstalling windows, and she’s been gone damned near that long. Sure, they have to have assistance in getting it installed right now because even the windows terminal terrifies them, but get it installed and a base configuration in place and it takes care of itself for the most part.

I’ll stick to a Veracrypt full disk encryption with a hidden partition. All the benefits of a duress password, none of the data deletion that gets you V&

If they aren’t gonna pay out when they should why are we even paying them?

Because you can end up losing your car, being fined thousands of dollars, or in jail for driving without insurance. The fact the peasants get no value from it isn’t important, you better keep paying!

Or, you know, you’d end up dead on your doorstep for trying to invoke your 2nd amendment to the fucking cops. That’s a good way to end up getting a Darwin award.

I meant to get a similar amount of protein you need to consume more vegan food, especially calorie rich ones, most restaurants that I’ve seen when they have comparable items the vegan one had way more calories.

Sure, but optimizing for protein isn’t the best methodology. I guess if you’re determined to max protein, meat is a better source. But if you want a better and more rounded diet, especially one low in saturated fats and high in fiber, the vegetarian (or even reduced meat) pathway is much better. Doubly so if you’re concerned about heart disease, colon cancer, or any of the side effects of eating too much protein.

Pretty sure people have done the maths and to approach the levels of efficiency that say meat has you’d be consuming a lot more calories.

What does meat’s “efficiency” have to do with anything related to caloric intake? If I consume 1000 calories of meat or 1000 calories of vegetables, I’ve still consumed 1000 calories. I can only assume you mean I would have to eat a larger quantity of vegetables get the same amount of calories, and that’s not the argument you think it is when people by and large consume too many calories and don’t get enough micronutrients as it is.

but your quality of life will be worse, so yes I count that as those meat products being necessary, in spite of the environmental damage

I’m not even a full vegetarian, but even I know this is just self justification for what you want to do. One of my partners is a vegetarian, and I cut back on like 80-90% of my meat intake and my quality of life (like energy and general physical/mental wellbeing) is the same or better than it was a few years ago.

The only good points you made was about food waste and lab meat, the rest is just cope.

Except you don’t need to eat meat, you’re just justifying the destruction you like. That’s not to say that AI is anything close to as relevant as food, but the point still stands, meat production is destructive to the environment.

I’m constantly amazed that people think telegram is secure.

Almost 110 years minimum (at least for the British), 1917

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_telegram

Go back another 20ish years and we were still tapping electronic comms, the Zimmerman Telegram was WW1

Telegrams between North America and Europe ran over a single pathway, which ran through England. The British tapped that cable and were spying on German (and everyone else’s) communications sent through them, which is why Germany had to encode their messages to Mexico asking them to join in WW1 to get Texas back.

Lying to yourself is a really good start, followed closely by not buying food or services like internet

Could you imagine being spied on in your own car?? Good thing my car from 2016 with OnStar totally isn’t spying on me!!1!

Point is: pour more money into training machines to imitate all the things we don’t actually understand the complexity of, and surely we’ll no longer need those people when we finally escape to a better future where our serfs don’t need such petty things as rights and payment. And if you help us get that, you just might get a ride on our escape too!

All I’m hearing is “let’s build the OceanSpaceGate station and fill it with all the billionaires” and I’m struggling to see a downside.

Hell, if you’re friends with him, you can apparently huck a baby in a lake

It’s easy to see why they allow it

No, but we can execute a corporation like we would a human.

But that would require a government that wasn’t constantly on its knees in front of the oligarchs with their mouth open.

Can’t wait for ol’ Jimbo to come by with his hand out this year, "Please dear reader, won’t you give us money to abuse our employees?’

But I thought we were going to get lower prices? /s

At least you understand your original point was bullshit.
