GIGO.

Garbage in garbage out. You give a shit prompt, you generally get a shit answer.

It’s important to note that a VPN is simply somebody else’s network in another location.

I feel as though this take is fully fud. It sounds like a take that came from seeing tons of advertisements for vpns without really understanding how they work. Maybe I’m wrong about you. That said, in general, a VPN is not a great cloak for piracy.

Come on dude, you know exactly what he meant. Social media is a broad category, but when someone mentions it in this context, it’s very clear what they mean.

So I went to go get a vasectomy at age 30. The lady dr tried her damnedest to get me to reconsider. I ended up leaving the office waiting room right before I was to have the procedure. I was very scared because of what the Dr had told me.

Told me I would have constant testicle pain, etc (not true).

So I didn’t go through with it. God I wish I had. I don’t have any kids or anything, but at 41 I finally got it done. Mine went as badly as one could go. The infection and inflammation didn’t go away and I was in great pain for weeks before finally they found the right antibiotic. But, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Mine went horribly and I’m still out here telling you to get it done. It’s amazing. What does that tell you?

Don’t believe the scare tactics. It’s bullshit.

Lmao, ok

Grasping at strings.

If your RMM gets compromised then you have much larger issues.

You may find it insulting, but that doesn’t mean it’s incorrect and it most certainly is not name-calling.

Well then obviously you could opt to restrict safe mode on laptops only, or laptops and desktops allowing you to get your server infrastructure up quickly so at least the back end is running properly.

Ffs.

Telling someone that they are being naive is not an insult. You should be old enough to understand that by this point in your life.

For BIDEN.

Exactly what do you think is going to happen when you try to swap in someone else? The Republicans are known for acting in good faith. I’m sure nothing bad would happen.

Yes, that’s correct. The article is from a month ago, where Ohio was trying to keep Biden off of the ballot due to DNC / state procedural bullshit.

Swap the candidate for someone else and surprise Pikachu when red states refuse to print them on the ballot.

That’s is not calling someone a name. Ffs. That is a descriptor.

“You are being naive”

Is not the same as

“Dumbass”

It is 1 months old. It’s also true. The DNC had to pull some fast changes in order to make it happen.

FOR BIDEN.

Do you want to rest on the good will of the politicians in red states for that “trust me bro” guarantee that your new candidate will be on the ballot?

If it is a red state, then they could simply refuse. You do realize that there were a couple of states that were trying to keep Biden off of the ballot using the existing deadlines as a method, right???

Please point to the place where I name called someone.

You should read your own source. This is basically saying that if Republicans allow it to happen the name could be changed. Talk about naive.

How so? The legislation in those states has no mechanism for changing the ballots that I am aware of. You would run a significant risk of have ballots in multiple states with only Trump’s name on them.

I don’t think THEY would be stupid enough, but this was aimed at helping the everyday folk, aka, you and me understand and think of the ramifications…

Then you clearly were not paying attention because the number one issue is ballot access. It is too late. No other candidate can be on the ballots in many (if not all states).

That is a full stop no go right there.

I feel as though you didn’t watch the video. You should watch it.

There is one particularly insurmountable issue with that.

In the voting booth, incumbents ALWAYS have a MASSIVE advantage.

Polling is incredibly unreliable. That is people that pick up the phone and talk to pollsters. Do you know anyone under 60 who does that? Additionally, a lot of those calls are on landlines. How many people do you know who have landlines? How many of those are under 60?

The polls are heavily skewed towards boomers. This is the last election where boomers will be relevant. Millennials and Gen Z matter more in this election than ever before.

Replacing an incumbent 3-4 months before an election is the stupidest fucking idea since trickle down economics.

I suggest you look up presidential approval rating statistics for 2nd term races.

At this point, no one else can. Straight up. To think otherwise is fucking delusional and demonstrates a lack of knowledge of us politics and it’s populace.

GTFOH with this bullshit.

It’s really a shame that the President makes every single decision on his own and handles absolutely everything by himself. It would be a better system if we had some sort of “cabinet” of advisiors all focused on different areas of running the country. It would be more like an “administration” instead of just what we have, which is one single guy who does everything and look, Biden is too old to do all that. If only there was some other way that he could have some assistance…

Keysfox. Google it. Buy a grey market key for 15 bucks.

“basic” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

I recommend a Plex server. People here will yell jellyfin all day long but while it is good, there is shit that will make you tear your hair out. Plex will literally “just work”.

If your TV is a smart TV, you can install the Plex app and from that point on its mostly set and forget.

You don’t have to pirate Windows anymore. Just go to Google and search for download Windows ISO. The first result will be Microsoft site and you can download it directly from Microsoft.

You don’t need a license key to install it either. Just go ahead and install it and it will have a watermark that it’s not licensed in the bottom right corner. Microsoft doesn’t really care anymore. Microsoft makes its money from business and enterprise customers. Home users are a drop in the bucket.

No free speech is not a right. Freedom of speech without prosecution from the government is a right.

No one is required to platform your stupid fucking viewpoint.

The 1st amendment ONLY allows you to say what you like and not have the government prosecute you for it. However, there are still limits to speech that cannot be prosecuted.

For example, you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater. You can’t cause a mass panic that results in injuries or death.

A private company has exactly zero obligation to platform your idiotic ramblings.

Yes, he is. People like this are divorced from reality.

He’s a billionaire or whatever. The speech doesn’t effect him in any way. He still has more resources than he could hope to burn through in multiple lifetimes. Speech literally cannot harm him.

He doesn’t understand that to all the doors, some speech can and does hurt us.

Well, literal Nazis would be a good start.

“sending aide to Ukraine, though that is getting iffy”

This tells me everything I need to know. That you would even say something like this means you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Additionally, you realize that those are all separate bills, right?

Lol nice bad faith argument. Fucking Lemmy sockpuppets.

I suggest you read the bill. It isn’t a tik tok ban. It’s actually quite a good piece of legislation.

It isn’t cheap, but it is very rewarding. Twice in the past couple of months have I been able to give family members out so that they don’t lose or have to start paying exorbitant amounts.
