You don’t see all the furry porn, extra long Kanji posts, B-Movies, witches, hackers, and cultists?

He’s calling them rapists because they have the email domain rape.lol, and fascists because they have hitler.rocks. The other side says “They were edgy 4channers 10yr ago when they started.”

My argument is “well you make it so hard to get a riseup acct which is the leftist equivalent, cock.li is the closest many of us could get.”

After All, Why Not? Why Shouldn’t I Keep It?

I assume so, it’s their typical MO and thus: The Joke™.

They have services that claim to, but tbf I don’t use apple products and I block ads like I’m spraying for roaches, so I’m just taking apple at their word.

Here’s a screencap from the TLDR of their terms of service I posted a link to, says right here “This service may use your personal information for marketing purposes” so…

Android. It might be a shock, but it’s great once you get used to it. I completely degoogled and went with apps that don’t spy, which was the hardest part, but you could set up a separate user profile for spyware stuff like snapchat or whatever. It might be beneficial to go ahead and get one, flash it, and use it with wifi or a prepaid sim for a bit while you still have your regular phone as a backup/main if you’re worried about the transition.

For sure I’m just joking about apple’s habit of taking a feature that has been around for YEARS and claiming they “innovated” it, usually after they strip it down a little no less (like in this case where it appears to be a setting users can’t access, but Graphene lets you turn it on/off or adjust the time between lock and reset.)

On a pixel 8 running graphene right now, I love it.

Pssst, apple collects your personal data, and like google they “don’t sell it,” instead they use it to build profiles on their users and then go to ad agencies and say “Ok give us money and we’ll serve your ad to X demographic.”

GrapheneOS been had this feature, don’t let apple tell you they invented it.

Musta been while you were kissing me.

Edit:

Oh you took the words right out of my mouth,

And I swear it’s true I was just about to say I love you,

Looove youuu!

The technical mumbo jumbo is greek to me, so all I can read is “Why do dogs shake when they are wet? Because they can feel the water!”

Other people have already given the answers I’d have said, so I’ll say this:

When you do collect enough of the “banned” books to warrant a torrent, create one and share it widely so kids can find em. Something that mentions “banned books” so it’ll be easily findable if someone searches that.

That said: they’re not really banned in the like actual sense of the word. They’re not banned from being sold, nor bought, nor read, nor owned, and afaik nobody is raiding publishers with rifles and making mass burn pits of books. They’re banned from most schools and some public libraries. The public libraries I agree is egregious but tbf, most of the ones I looked into would have been banned in my school too, and not because “gay” but for stuff like the blowjob scene in a graphic novel, if that scene, which I’ve been corrected on multiple times, (it wasn’t technically a blowjob it was “strap on play,” but) “graphic depictions of strap on play” between straight couples would be similarly banned. Most of the other “banned” ones with no pictures say some naughty words, and IMO that’s a piss poor reason to ban something, but it is consistent that whether the person saying “fuck” is gay or straight it’s going to be banned for the word “fuck.” Hell back in my day they wanted to ban To Kill A Mockingbird because it says the N-word (and that btw was the progressives not the conservatives, pearl clutching at supposed racism despite that literally being an anti-racist book.)

Again, not saying I agree with banning books in schools, fuck it if they want they should have copies of 50 Shits of Grey in elementary schools imo, I’m a fan of disseminating information, but it is being unilaterally enforced and “straight profanity” isn’t allowed either.

Good. I don’t trust them dern robuts.

As of audacity 3.0.3 (or was it 3.1.3? Shit it’s been a while…) it includes telemetry from the russian company that bought it. It was forked to oblivion and Tenacity is the best replacement fork.

no u

You HAVE to be trolling lol.

Just in case you’re actually unaware and not just bullshitting,

Right ok… But what’s on the other PC for for an OS? And why should we bother having another one on a different OS assuming we can afford extra hardware?

Came off snarky, thus rude, and is why I returned it in kind. If you weren’t trying to be rude and it came off that way by mistake, my bad, but it definitely seemed intentionally and unnecessarily snarky.

Well since this thread is about computers unable to run windows 11 due to HW restrictions, meaning they’ll be insecure when the EOL is reached, the point would be “to keep your personal computing secure.” If you’re upgrading to w11, why are we even talking about w10 EOL? Just upgrade then, what’s the problem?

Furthermore, if your company provides a computer at all, you may wish to have your personal computing done on something without their monitoring programs installed. Idk about you but my work doesn’t need to know I googled “boobies” at 10pm on tuesday, or whatever.

Finally, because while upgrading to a computer that can run w11 is costly, buying a used computer off a friend who is upgrading is much cheaper, linux being much less resource intensive and able to run securely and receive critical security updates on cheaper, older hardware can be beneficial to someone who can’t upgrade to w11 due to cost, or who is being forced by their workplace into using w10 (or even w11 with company spyware, really.)

Did I hold your hand well enough this time or are you still confused and being rude about it? Sure, maybe YOU don’t care about security, and in that case you shouldn’t, just run XP who cares, but for those that do it is an option.

I thought we were talking about linux being involved, so that. Why? Because of the whole “not receiving security updates” thing w10 will be doing, y’know the whole thing this thread is about, did I have a stroke?

Well, get good I guess.
