The reason they don’t want you to unlock your bootloader is because of security…

…security of their revenue stream, that is.

you can just send the money to the artist if indeed your objective is to “contribute to the artist” no NFTs required

Yeah, people could donate directly, but some people decided to buy NFTs instead, and they wouldn’t have spent the money otherwise.

This is my logic which shows that my post is not bullshit. My post is only bullshit by the “logic” that you try to introduce.

And you don’t need to be writing these long-winded paragraphs. The point stands that you’re the one who brought up the argument about NFTs as means of ownership and then started arguing on the opposing side. Who are you arguing against? There is no-one on the proposing side, only the starmen you put there.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I didn’t say shit about “rights” and “respect”. The guy in the original comment mentioned nothing about it either. You said that. You’re bringing this idea into the conversation and then arguing against yourself. Seriously, what is your endgame here?

I genuinely have no clue what you think I “read on a website” about NFTs. To set the record straight, my understanding of NFTs is that you have a ledger where your public key is associated with a token short string of characters, and every computer participating in the ledger agrees on that. that’s it. All of these ideas of “ownership” and “rights” and societal analogies is bullshit you brought into the conversation.

damn those 17 downvotes are so salty it’s making my monitor bezels corrode

yeah exactly I still haven’t heard a single explanation of what makes NFTs a “scam”. People just shout that word and expect you to accept it. Seriously, which part of a consensual transaction between two well-informed parties qualifies as a “scam”?

bruh it’s really not that difficult. Fan sends money to artist. Fan receives some magical bytes in return. Could fan have right clicked and downloaded the artwork without paying? Of course. But fan wants to support artist. Because fan likes artist’s art. It’s how any digital “marketplace” works, NFT or not. All this “legal system” and “ownership” and “legal registrar” nonsense you’re pulling up is completely irrelevant. You’re reading too much into it.

This comment was removed incorrectly. What exactly is the “disinformation” here? This guy was literally just giving his interpretation of what happened to me, not making any assertions about fluoride and its efficacy in general. They even affirmed that it’s ANECDOTAL evidence right in their reply! Stop reading conspiracies into everything!

I doubt that dentists conspire for us to have bad teeth.

People with bad teeth is literally their main revenue stream?! I wouldn’t put it past them.

I once tried brushing my teeth with baking soda instead of toothpaste for a few weeks. From what I understand, they have about the same level of abrasiveness, so they should be about as good at scrubbing the gunk out of your teeth. The key difference is that toothpaste has fluoride in it. After a while I started having pain/irritation in my mouth and gums. It went away when I went back to toothpaste. So if anyone was looking for anecdotal evidence of fluoride being good for your teeth, there you go.

Yeah the dev is notorious for sneaking in irrelevant political virtue signaling bullshit. I get that they want to do good to the world, but there are so many ways to do that without alienating your users. For example, partnering up with a charity. You know. Like VIM does.

Keyboards with physical F keys higher than 12 absolutely do exist tho.

This one’s ancient, but I also have a slightly less old apple wireless keyboard that goes up to F19. IIRC goes up to a theoretical maximum of F64, but don’t quote me on that.

As soon as a dentist deems it medically necessary, it’s fully covered by even the most basic health insurance.

Yeah, that’s the joke. Americans pull wisdom teeth left and right regardless of whether or not it poses a medical risk, it’s a part of their culture. Source: https://www.sciencealert.com/no-you-probably-don-t-need-to-get-your-wisdom-teeth-removed-ever

Yes, because when this happens to “normal people” it is never publicized as much as when it happens to a celebrity. It’s kind of by-definition.

But I am not disagreeing with you. I just don’t know enough about andrew tate and this whole situation to have a good opinion here.

See, the thing is, these are all allegations. It won’t be proven until his trial in 2027 whether he did any of those things or not (well okay, apart from the misogyny thing, he’s admitting that one loud and proud). Despite the fact, he’s had money and assets ceased and was sent to jail, which goes against some pretty fundamental values that many people are taught growing up (e.g. Innocent until proven guilty). So I can definitely see how many non-misogynists or even feminists would be on Tate’s side even if they disagree with his messaging.

You know this is the good shit because when it first came out a few years back google was running a huge disinformation campaign against it. You’d search for “adnauseum” in google and the first result would be an article from some weird advertising company calling is “insecure” and “malware” without any actual argumentation behind those claims, while no other search engine returned that article (I lost the screenshots, so yall are just gonna have to take my word for it). They also delisted it from the chrome store for not discernible reason. They were afraid.

But nowadays I’m willing to bet that they figured out how to detect adnauseum’s fake clicks and filtering it out. Stuff like that needs a talented development team to keep it up to date.

Yeah this is the way. Debian stable has outdated packages, debian testing has broken packages. Ubuntu is difficult for beginners because of snap. Linux mint is the perfect just-works debian-based beginner distro. Same for DE: Gnome is hard to use, KDE is bloated and unstable, and XFCE is too minimalist/diy/quirky for beginner users (you need to add a panel applet in order for the volume keys to work? Huh??). Cinnamon is the perfect middle ground between resource usage and features.

Make sure during installation that you create a 4 GB swap partition too

Or at least as large as your RAM if you want to be able to hibernate.

How well do the signal and whatsapp bridges work? Have you used them yourself? I tried setting up a discord bridge years ago and it was terrible. Is it better now?

hmm havent heard of this one yet. Looks promising, gonna try it later. Thanks!

For people seeking an interface similar to signal, I suggest Session. It’s a fork of signal that onion-routes the messages (they have their own onion routing network, not TOR). There are no user IDs stored anywhere, you message people through their public keys. From the user experience side of the coin, it’s a little on the slow side tho.

Whatsapp to messengers is what internet explorer was to browsers lol. Slow, bloated, unfree, universally hated, but still somehow universally used
