Yeah but they’re “special people,” not subject to the same rules as the peons, even though they’d be tossed aside for private security should shit go down. God dammit lol

Yup, cause, once again, fuck the people.

Ironic that cops love facial recognition when it’s not pointed at them, but all of a sudden it’s an issue when they’re subject to it.

What hardware are you running your truenas setup on? I have an old computer that I’ve had freenas on that finally died.

Uh oh.

Or nullifies their existence in my own happy world

Checkmate, atheists

Dude in the thumbnail looks like an un-and-coming Bond villain.

I use Zelle almost exclusively for my business and I have never had an issue with it.

Yeah that’s fair, I was of the mind of the hope that we the people could possibly shift things in our direction.

The biggest hurdle in all of this is that everything is set up in a way that the most affordable and convenient options are often the worst as far as privacy, Amazon being the biggest example, groceries being another. It takes an extraordinary amount of diligence (and let’s be real, income) to be able to side skirt corporate dominance in the goods market. Services like utilities and often house are pretty much fucked unless you can manage to move somewhere more off the grid.

A good first step would be to require all companies to make their mobile websites mirror the functionality of their app so we didn’t have to install so many fucking data vacuums on our phones

Yeah I’m with you on the display, especially with a docking laptop. I just kinda fell into it without much searching around, I’m sure there are more user friendly clients out there but it works just fine for my usage and I honestly don’t have time or energy to go on the hunt for the perfect client lol

Same as most of the other gibberish in P2025, for moral, ethical, and societal wellness “reasons.” Their stated goal is to turn society back to more Christian values, but it’s really a mechanism to throw anyone in jail for any reason.

Yeah that selective enforcement clause is a powerful tool if you’re a dickhead

It took me a sec to get the hang of it, but I’m good with Thunderbird

The loss of 3rd places as you mentioned is huge. When I was a kid we at least had malls, where you could still hang out and roam about without having to actually buy anything. Nowadays, there’s next to nowhere to just exists without spending money (unless you live outside of cities/suburbs).

Lol the fact that you think someone presenting a different opinion means they represent anyone is silly, stop perpetuating the politics = sports teams mentality

Problem is that people are essentially brainwashed to cheer in favor of oppressive policy. It should be a crime to make misleading claims or statements, but, such is the world of advertising and marketing.

Won’t do anything until it is hooked back to the internet

Yeah, I’ve seen it on some Samsungs and LGs that get real pissy when the TV itself isn’t online. I’ve also heard of some brands (that I don’t remember atm) that won’t even let you go through the initial setup without a connection.
