If you had a digital twin of your home library and used a program such as Docfd[0] I think you would have had a much easier time. [0] - https://github.com/darrenldl/docfd

It’s not hypocrisy to remove the cancer from my phone, tumors like Google Services exist to be removed. I use an Adblock, I download all the videos I like to personal storage after watching them on YouTube via a shared Indivious frontend me

China, for one, has state-enforced labor of Uyghurs and other minorities: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/against-their-will-the-sit... And, while Mexico is trying to limit forced labor, they’re still one of our

My passion is robotics and engineering, and manufacturing covers both of those readily. While I have been blessed to have been born in the midwest where manufacturing is plentiful, the majority of the US is not so accessible for this work o

The problem is less that we’ll feel a 10% or even 15% price hike on foreign goods, but that we are so reliant on foreign manufacturing to begin with.

It’s conman vs conman, Karl is a liar who tried to profit off of a suicide. Ironically, as bad of a person Billy is, Karl is actually far worse, given both his pickup artist past and this lawsuit.

And that’s a major win for his family, good on them. For Billy though, it‘s not clear if he works for their business in some way or if he‘s the “gamer of the century” full time. EDIT: Apparently he advertises their hot sauce

They may work hard, but it‘s hardly productive. I mean Jobst just self-immolated like 3yrs of his income, meaning if it sticks he‘ll likely be paying for at least a decade, and I‘m not sure Billy has produced anything of value aside from th

Google is an objectively evil company, ever since they removed their “Don’t be evil” slogan. Android is, conceptually, a good idea. There is no “emotion” behind that statement, they themselves have said they are evil, and their actions rega

Are you seriously saying he‘s a child predator because he thinks the EU poisoning DNS is bad? And are you actually equating child abuse with “disinformation attempting to destabilize a democracy”? What democracy? What disinformation? What r

Just because you lack the capacity to understand something does not mean you are morally superior for it. It means you need to re-evaluate yourself and find why you cannot understand the fallibility of service providers.

Democracy, even Athenian democracy, is not a feasible large-scale system and there’s a reason we have never been a democracy. Not even the inventors of democracy were democratic in the modern sense. There were heavy restrictions on who coul

It’s been longer than a few months. Biden actively snubbed multiple high ranking dignitaries and even world leaders during his presidency, avoiding them due to his advanced mental decline. Multiple countries, such as Hungary, France, and ev

As an enthusiast, I’ve found mid-tier hardware from over a decade ago can run the majority of games on medium/high without much problem. And that the majority of people in my life only need a laptop that can consistently stream 1080p a

You have not only created an open source Analogue Pocket, which is amazing, but you’ve also perfectly voiced the problems I have with the MiSTer project: that as cool as FPGA technology is, the MiSTer completely misses its sole advantages (

Considering it was a heavily repeated slogan of Bernie Sanders in 2016, and a common sentiment from his vocal minority, it’s hardly a “strawman” (whatever that means in this context). You can see his focus on the “1%”/“0.1%” (which int

Under a “universal” healthcare system your wife would go in for free, and then take 3-6 months, if not longer, to get seen. And then the doctor refers you to the specialist, who will take another 1-2 months. And you pay for it via taxes any

I still find it interesting that, at all times, a squirrel ran behind her in her first public appearance after the election, her concession speech.

What I said is obviously correct, especially historically, and you pointed out exactly why: medium travel, which is far more prevalent than simply modern suburbia. Have you even been outside a city? Take a quick glance at history and you wi

Historical inaccuracy was simply one of a handful of points I made, and I am hardly “angry” that a brainrot musical, written by a man with no historical background, was inaccurate. Additionally, I am willing to suspend my desire for accurac

There was no “death panel” involved with Archie Battersbee though. He had a Glasgow coma level of 3, the literal lowest (which is proportional to survival odds), and didn’t even have a pulse for over 40 minutes. He was most likely dead by t

In an incredibly tiny city nearby they’ve had public CCTV for decades. They even broadcast them. Me and my siblings would watch for my grandma or parents to come back from shopping.

Quoting what you heard off your telescreen is not convincing. For one, what “certain cities” are you even talking about? Are you referring to blacks being pulled over in black-majority crime-heavy areas? And I have never heard of stigmas ag

Maybe in your specific case, that is cities with poor public transit, but the US is massive and has always required some form of long distance travel. One can make arguments for corporate interests in expensive gas-guzzlers, completely elim
