Yeah, that kind of thing never goes away. Still probably better than Google and the like, but don’t be surprised when they start walking in line with the fascists.

Actual question, how do I not answer any questions? I feel like if I’m literally mute for the entire encounter then I’m getting charged for not cooperating.

And here I was thinking the EU was winning its fight against authoritarianism. Guess nowhere is safe, everyone’s gotta push back no matter where you are. Fucking exhausting that they can’t just leave us the fuck alone.

I like that song :)

Action precedes motivation. It sucks but it’s true.

Looks like you know exactly where that pot of gold is now

Dang, that photo is really similar

I like CDs :)

How are orangutans? Are they chill? Still dangerous wild animals? Do they have an obvious personality? I’ve only seen them at the zoo and they don’t pay too much attention to people there.

They said it couldn’t be done…

Well clearly it’s making OP think twice about it. I think it’s completely possible for people to lack some component of these communication skills simply because they haven’t had anything that brought them to their attention before.

And to be fair, berating people who don’t understand these concepts doesn’t “fix” them either.

And writing drivers for hardware when you don’t have access to all of the design files and documentation is a very involved process.

I think the public is staggeringly bad at advocating for their own interests.

… How do we know only a few other creatures enjoy sex? It seems like it’d be a good idea for evolution to do that with any animal that can enjoy things, and it’s not like we can ask most of them.

Hold on, am I missing something? I don’t see anyone in here talking about that time proton openly endorsed the Republican party. Did we forget about or forgive them for that? Is it just irrelevant right now? They backtracked later but like https://archive.ph/2yWGz

When organizations make a move like that, they usually don’t stop pushing in that direction, even if they backtrack in response to pushback. While I’m sure they’re still better than google, I have a hard time trusting them after that. It feels relevant to talk about because like you said, using proton is adding another trust point.

You don’t have to take responsibility for that one. Your clones played a part too.

I know this is irrelevant, but what system do you prefer. Not asking in bad faith, I agree, just curious what your alternative is because I don’t know what mine would be.

Hold on, bringing this into my discord server
