Dumb take. I don’t need to sit down and have a beer with my anti-vax MAGA neighbors to understand them. I understand them just fine, they’re brain damaged morons.

Technobarbarism

Lol I mean, if I have to choose between a government doing this and private megacorps, I choose government 100% of the time.

Yep

That being said, just yesterday I looked at the man page for gcc because I wasn’t sure how to use a specific option and it was very useful. Gave me exactly the info I needed.

Maybe there is some merit to simply reading the documentation instead of asking to be spoon fed… I’m prepared to be downvoted to oblivion for this opinion.

My point was to illustrate a comparable big corpo’s flippant response to negative PR.

We’ve entered a stage in the software industries development where these mega corps are making so much money off of your data that they simply don’t care about PR, very often responding to negative PR in a consumer hostile manner.

Besides, Microsoft has been scraping personal data through Windows for over a decade. Why would they stop now? Business/enterprise licenses will likely have the ability to disable the recall feature. Regular consumers can go fuck themselves, as usual.

Would Microsoft even care? Do normies think about this kind of thing?

Google’s gemini has been delivering some pants-on-head stupid results in the search and Google’s comment on the situation was basically “ya, it do be that way”.

Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell

Is this supposed to be some kind of flex? Average user age on lemmy is more than old enough for the majority of users to have been using linux pre 9-11.

am a long term open source dev and contributor…

That is a flex, kudos. I’ve been dreaming about contributing to an open source project for a while now.

Same. This was very common mom attire when I was growing up.

None of those services offer the same kind of content though. Tiktok offers 30s - a couple of minutes videos (vines, essentially), streams are hours long and are fundamentally different because they’re interactive with chat. YouTube offers the 5min - 30min edited content, with exceptions here and there (1hr+ content).

Your 11 year old nephew doesn’t watch YouTube because he’s 11 and has the attention span of a squirrel. He’s not watching a 30 minute video about the Canadian housing crisis.

What are you trying to say with this? You think running automatic, unattended updates with a cronjob is a good idea?

Well thankfully your consent on the subject isn’t required. They’re both hobbies whether you like it or not.

It gives you substantial skills and knowledge specifically regarding cannabis consumption.

If enjoying wine can be a hobby (wine connoisseur) then so can enjoying cannabis.

I’m technically an immigrant from europe (came over at 1 year old) and even to me given I grew up here, it feels weird and fake to keep a flag from there.

Well your original statement indicated that you were most concerned with the randomness of the meat. You even specified freshness was not a criterion. Would you like me to select a piece for you, would that assuage your reservations?

Edit: I guess OP doesn’t know what they want /shrug

As opposed to a random piece of beef, pork, or poultry?
