No billionaire owners and algorithms.

People can be idiots and not realize that social behavior can be a mask. Always smiling, well, thats hiding and acting.

Why are there no ghost stories in this thread… Im disappointed.

Just look at the stuff people say on Lemmy, to someone they will never even meet, ever.

Why do we even leave comments here. Just total strangers. And yet people care very much about what others say.

Had 1 visit, normally 5 or so.

But actually its pretty nice. I dont like these commercial days where its all about buying shit like costumes and candy.

Maybe we should donate that money to some organisation instead of getting fat and ugly eating candy.

I hope Nvidia stock drops 10% so I can buy more.

Actually its so high up now, I think losing 10% isnt enough for it to look like a good buy.

Must have missed a “dont” on his keyboard.

Yeah.

I have mixed feelings about it. How would the world look if it was China or Russia that managed to do that? How would Europe look?

I have so much western propaganda in me, that i cant judge how Russia or China would be. But looking at their current actions, its hard to see them being peaceful. America is also not peaceful though.

Making Trump realize his mistakes? Yeah, somehow I dont see that happening…

Because they are too powerful as an enemy. If they were the size of denmark, they wouldnt get away with anything.

The entire economy of the western world is also extreamly connected to the US. Our pension funds invest in their tech stocks, our financial systems use the dollar… And a lot more things that i dont even know.

America is pretty much running the western world. Like it or not. :/

They also spent almost all their money on weapons and high tech support systems. Their “defence” budget is larger than entire Europe.

Just look at these numbers. America, almost 1000 billion dollars. China, 300 billion, Russia 150 billion, everyone else much much less.

Its a crazy country.

Good summary but its actually enough to just have a feeling about a company. The things you mentioned are great, they contribute to this feeling of absolutely not trusting Microsoft to care about your privacy.

But for people like me, who dont want to write long summaries like this, I just go by experience and gut feeling.

People who still use windows dont care about privacy and are fair game to be exploited at this point. There is only so much guides people can write, or patience to show… In the end, the person has to care.

Nvidia as usual… :)

An ordinary sftp server. No reason for this to be web based.

Why does it matter how the discussion evolved? I dont think my opinion will change based on that… Or what am i missing.

I think ICE is the scariest thing the US has done in decades. The online world is not even important compared to the evil stuff they are doing.

It just shows a mentality in Trump that is similar to Hitler. Also that he murders people on Venezuelas boats without any trial or legal actions. Just murders them.

So yeah. I will actually move my stuff away from aws even. I dont want any US in my life.

Its a game for kids. No kids want to damage property because they dont get free candy.

Of course they are confused when you say trick, because its supposed to not happen. Adults are supposed to understand its a game… Sigh.

Just use temporary email addresses. Fastmail generates them for free with a button click, and doesnt share your real email.

I guess I dont like the idea of AI getting popular enough to pay for because it can generate porn.

I was hoping for more, I guess. :)

But sure, i get it. I watch porn too. And beautiful women are exciting. On a spiritual level though, it feels super primitive to sit and and jerk off to images or video.

Also it definently damages people. We just cant stop.

You dont need to test on different Linux distributions. All that matters is what kernel its running. That is the one that is detecting your headset.

Just so you know for the future. You can actually just install the latest kernel instead of trying different distros.

I also think people who read have much better memory. I just dont know if its from reading, or because you have such good memory that it makes you enjoy reading.

For me, my memory is average. So I dont enjoy reading that much, because I will anyway forget most of it. Things like movies stay in my memory better.

Maybe its that simple. We like what we are good at.
