That’s it? Just an ad hominem, after getting an answer to your question? You keep asking the same (whiny) question and ignoring the answers. You look like a troll when you do that.

Sure bud, all or nuthin, with me or against me, uhhuh.

This all-or-nothing lack of nuance combined with a lack of collective responsibility is a fairly typical example of the kind of complaints I hear or read about USA culture.

Individualism.

Ideology is like halitosis, it’s always someone else’s problem.

Friend, I live in a settler state too, and our genocide isn’t quite over yet either. I didn’t start it, but as a part of the settler side of the equation, I benefit economically. I also benefit from the neocolonialism of the companies based in my country, indirectly, yes, and whether I ask for it or not.

No matter what I do to

• stop the last bit of the genocide
• make redress and other justice happen
• end foreign exploitation

…it won’t be enough. Doesn’t matter, take it on and acknowledge it.

Funny how responsibility works. It’s nuanced.

Well everyone in a representative democracy takes a small amount of responsibility for it.

So the actual amount of responsibility for the past is mainly symbolic, and you should treat it as such. It takes on more meaning when you consider that what happens next is a much larger responsibility for individual citizens.

I notice that many similar complaints are founded in individualism, which is the ideological reason you folks are in this mess.

Start there.

Organize, or bear judgment.

“Don’t mourn: organize!”

So: education, agitation, and mobilization are off the table then eh?

Off to the purge are we? I wonder if highly effective propaganda has anything to do with just giving up before you try?

• spreading neoliberalism disguised as democracy

To disable biometrics on your iPhone, simply press the power button five times, rapidly.

This also gives you a power off option and an SOS button.

If you want to fully encrypt the phone before confiscation, turn it off.

?! Have you seen a M4 chip in action? Low energy, high performance. Silent computers, long battery life. Good value on a simple benchmark basis. Not credibly last year tech.

Pre-ARM Macs, sure, but that was five years ago.

Lots of other hardware issues to complain about, however.

A 2012 11" MacBook Air will run ZorinOS nicely and is truly tiny but very usable. Any Air made between 2012-17, really, but the 11" is SMALL.

lol thanks for that!

Wait, whaaaat?

“Thralls of the Archons”

I knew kids in high school who tortured gophers, and who knows what else, for the stimulus. Kind of dead inside; in retrospect, badly sociopathic, but without coping techniques or charisma.

I thought so too but remembered yesterday I was working at an office they were putting back together after remodeling, and noticed they were playing music off an iPhone and it was surprisingly loud.

VHS tapes got so small they turned into little bits

Yes… after you rip them into a mixtape playlist.

Eh? Scientific method can be summarized as ‘stating your beliefs then trying to disprove them’.

Generally, Safari was kind of middling in function and design until around 2018, when it got more streamlined or something; at least, its apparent performance improved over the other browsers on macOS. It was novel on Windows but pretty limited and just, meh.

Edit: I forgot, the clean, minimalist, ad free reader view on the windows version was very nice to have. Long time ago!
