No idea how well it would actually work, but having https://www.howtoinventeverything.com/ (link to the book’s website, not amazon, because fuck amazon) as a reference manual would probably not be a terrible idea.

No, we don’t agree. You’re a MAGA trying to blame Joe Biden for the evils of other people, or even the inactions of other people. Biden isn’t a prosecutor, nor is he a judge.

Nice name by the way, rather gives you away.

Oh, fuck that shit, no, the reason we’re in this mess to begin with is because rich douchebags won’t get their fucking dicks out of politics because woe is them someone might actually take their ill-begotten gains to benefit everyone, so they propped up a fucking fascist and then bought all the media to make idiots like you blame Biden for it.

Pretty sus how much pro-AI slop is suddenly on lemmy right as GPT5 is about to be launched.

Be less fucking obvious, you dipshits.

Yyyyeah. Unfortunately we’re not actually a democratic nation- land and especially money count for more than actual people when it comes to voting. Gerrymandering just reinforces it, and ensures an undemocratic result.

Bruh, go touch some grass.

Oh good, you edited your post.

The point is that you DIDN’T make a choice, because you were colluded against. Why so much focus on honoring your agreement, when they aren’t honoring their agreements?

You’re missing the part where, because of federal interest in schooling loans (because the government wants a well-educated population, typically), you have a captive market with colluding loan companies that abuse said federal interest to jack up education prices and interest rates. In other words, you don’t have an option but to accept the ‘terms’ of the predatory loans unless you don’t go to college… except the federal government wants you to go to college.

So student loan forgiveness is basically the federal government yanking the collusion back and going “no, they pay off the loan and a REASONABLE AMOUNT OF DEBT, and the rest of the absurdity you’re trying to shovel gets canceled because it should have never been tried in the first place.”

And then conservatives whine and cry about their tax money going to 'paying off student loans" because conservatives are idiots that can’t comprehend why a rich person would lie to them.

Is… Is that norm Abrams?

I did, and even rechecked it just now- not a single person says using journalctl is tedious. A few say it doesn’t give them the data they actually are needing, but nobody is randomly hating on journalctl.

Why make things up? Why lie? Not a single person argued that typing journalctl was too tedious, let alone OP.

I would argue that this sort of nonsense DOES make them stupid.

It’s just lemmy.ml taking a pop at the US so they can feel superior. Feel free to ignore.

Thje problem is more that they tend to get WAY MORE hate for way less stuff.

Like, blizzard literally had a woman commit suicide because she thought she was going to be used as a company sex slave. Yet Nintendo gets more shit than blizzard does, because Nintendo doesn’t want you pirating their games.

Like, bruh, priorities. I know it’s not a zero sum game, but god damn.

Speaking from experience… Yes. Absolutely yes.

It’s 2025, ad analytics ARE for malicious/nefarious purposes. Who do you think they’re selling them to, Mr. Rogers?

Don’t abuse the report system.

For one, Gail Slater was only ‘tough on big tech’ for a few years in the very beginning of her career, and the entire rest of it has been spent as a big tech lobbyist for Internet Association. The most relevant lobbying being the opposition of a california data privacy bill that would require ISPs to gain customer permissions to collect and sell their browsing history. Needless to say, it’s pretty horrifying to hear a privacy company CEO call a noted anti-privacy lobbyist a good pick with those ‘credentials’.

Only two of Andy Yen’s posts regarding the matter are shown or referred to- the original post, and a later ‘clarification’. Every double-down, the ‘official’ statement he (supposedly erroneously) made, the deleted posts, all of those are not mentioned, yet the author spends a lot of time claiming that they went through ‘thousands of tweets and replies’ to find everything relevant, which in my opinion is gaslighty as hell when he then promptly discards all of them since they don’t match his narrative.

The biggest issue with the article though is that it makes a ton of assumptions presented as fact about Andy Yen’s motivations, which are then used as ‘evidence’ to discredit the evidence he’s pro-trump… and then assigns actions the entire Proton company did as justification for why Yen, himself as a person, is not pro-trump.

So the evidence he is NOT pro-trump is that the company he works for and doesn’t wholly control has done some some decent privacy stuff, and the proof that he IS pro-trump is either thrown away, not mentioned, or discard on the basis that ‘he totally said he wasn’t guys trust me.’

People keep posting this, like some kind of biased blog post on medium is supposed to be a gotcha moment that fixes everything. It doesn’t.
