If only there were another historic event/group that would be make a good comparison.
OH WAIT

I believe he’s also on that list

My little part of the world certainly isn’t safe for her specifically.

Stop the world, I want to get off this ride.

I agree but also Intel’s been doing a bang-up job of offing themselves for a decade.

I’m willing to give some credit to the GPU dev team. Everybody else though? No.

Intel’s currently intriguing “worth buying” products: .

I’m sure this will end well

… And waste an opportunity to type on my ludicrously expensive mechanical keyboard?

FRIG no

You’re not wrong, just saying there’s a lot of data being stolen from most every device that most people use, regardless of carrier.

The Google/Apple account arguably does worse.

Good, but there’s more to it than that. I’d argue the carrier is actually the least important part of this

What sort of device (and what internet provider) did you post this reply with because I’m afraid I might have some bad news

Holy crap maybe that’s why I’ve been in such a trash mood for a few weeks

Btw I don’t use Arch

Good. Send them back with plenty of holes.

We have plenty of armed citizens, but that’s the hilariously fucked part of it. Gun owners are BY VAST, FARRRRR MAJORITY- Republicans. If it’s not on Fox News they don’t know it, haven’t heard of it, don’t give a fuck about learning it. Even if they suddenly every single one of them realized how fucked they are, and they ALL lined up outside of their local city halls, state capitols, and so on TOMORROW they’d only be answered with the largest “riot control” force ever assembled on the planet with more tear gas than they can imagine. Not one word of their message would be heard, only violence would be televised. We learned that in LA.

People are already going hungry and dying, just not the people you might immediately expect. Right now it’s the low income elderly, (who can’t get medical help to save their lives, the sick, the homeless, and immigrants, who (if they haven’t already been put in camps) are too afraid to even say more than “Hi” in passing when I pass them in apartment halls.

This place is fucked, but most haven’t realized it yet.

Genuinely honest reaction from an American- we have reached peak pointlessness.

The American public (in general, on average) is so stupid and ill-informed, staring only at their preferred echo chamber that the majority would rather mobilize against different opinions than have a conversation.

We could self immolate in the streets and it would make absolutely no difference. Opposition would celebrate it. Any method to resist or make change has been well and truly vaporized. Publicly stating our opinion or even stating objective fact is now pointless, as it will be instantly gaslit.
Not a single protest or demostration I’ve attended has made ANY difference at all.

Even right this second, I can hear the sound of Fox News in the office beside mine.

Even in my small suburban town lifted trucks STILL fly a Trump flag and scream and shout out the window at bumper stickers they don’t like.

I can’t say that’s the perspective other Americans have, but I can tell you that’s my perspective. The proverbial “ship is sinking”, the hull has cracked wide open, and all I can do is plan what cardinal direction to “swim” in assuming I survive the capsize, which I almost certainly will not.

It beats the alternative of Microsoft’s support forums where thousands comment for weeks straight INCLUDING paid Indian “representatives” who ask for user diagnostic tool output, copy/pasting the same reply eleventeen thousand times a day, on a post from 8 years ago BUT not a single person has ever posted their solution EXCEPT “I reinstalled Windows.”

I can’t believe people elected a felon grifter criminal liar cheater pervert casino bankrupter with the express goal of burning the country to the ground and THIS might MIGHT be the line they draw in the sand.
