well yea, they aren't "really" the same thing. It was just phone numbers weren't considered all that private back then.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just a hot take

this link feels silly tbh. 30 blood clot cases out of 18.1 million. That honestly sounds less than how often a blood clot happens randomly in a population that size.

> trivial for Apple to buy any patent it needs. Yea ... umm thats not how reality works. Companies CAN refuse to sell or license a patent at a rate that is not absurd.

I didn't realize banks like Simple or Chime could basically have "fake FDIC insurance". time to move my shit back to my local credit union.

> Per the article, FDIC insurance doesn't cover this because it's a 'neo-bank' and the underlying bank didn't fail. wait ... wat? how do you know something is a "Neo-bank"?

@rorykoehler It's the most well known non capitalist society.

-_- I just wanna point out the homeless rate in China is higher than the United States, and you still have to pay rent in China too. So it's not really a capitalism problem its a being alive problem.

But you're wrong tho. most lower income people in the states don't have cars and eat fast food a lot because well food deserts. Then the pandemic happens, well fast food stayed open. Opps one huge problem, only the drive-thrus are

People use iOS/iPhones BECAUSE of how tightly controlled the App Store is. It's like Atari vs Nintendo. If I wanted pure "freedom" I would have gotten an android, since they have at least fixed their performance issues n

This is so divorced from reality I don't know where to start. There is effectively no difference between "apt install widget-a" and installing it from a "App Store" other than the App Store option lets the dev feed

I just want to note nationalized industries have an incredibly unfair advantage over private industry. Since nationalized industries have no real need to make money at all. Widget A cost $65 to make? Nah, let's sell it at $5. Most of t

Thats not how the definition of RCE works. Under your silly logic every piece of server/client software is a "RAT". To be honest I feel like you're trying to speed run ur way to the Attrition Hall of Charlatans

This is NOT a RCE. Would you like me to list all of the software that does this exact thing? Chrome, Brave, Discord are some of the biggest. Nearly all electron based apps that autoupdate.
