I dunno…

looks at pile of discarded lint rollers covered in saliva

Lightly used lint roller and wet tongue? Fuzzy and tacky but slippery. Unless you dry out your tongue first, then it’ll just stick in a weird and unsatisfying way.

Because the emus were playing 5D chess. Their diplomatic stonewalling is what ultimately won them the war.

If someone tells them to, they might try until a few business interests remind them that these are also fundamental components of business networks. Once money tells them to stop it, they will.

VPN companies should just hire a lobbyist for a week and this will all go away.

Exactly this. There’s maybe 8 politicians in the whole world that understand what a VPN is. They’re told by a lobbyist and donor that it’s a thing that is bad, now they’re out to figure out how to make it go away.

Saying “I have nothing to hide” does nothing but empower the surveillance state. You are living in a surveillance state and advertising tracking data is how you are tracked.

I would bet it will turn the corner around 2042

I really wish SNW would have an awkward “don’t ask” conflict with the TOS Gorn and SNW version like DS9 did with Klingon makeup. Maybe they did and I missed it.

TEA! EARL GREY! HOT!

Microsoft might agree with this.

There’s got to be some meth-head scrappers that need this information.

DraftKings killed Vegas by taking the main money-maker of Vegas and putting it on people’s phones.

Hard agree with this. Does Reddit even have lawyers, or are they just using ChatGPT? Google, Meta, and Tik Tok already paid PII misuse fines for less than this. everything listed is part of the GDPR extended PII list.

Unrelated question: How do I short reddit stock?

Wait…am I fake?

For real, I think the question about “should I eat a whole chocolate cake” sort of opened the flood gates to people asking anything.

Meanwhile, OP said ask them anything - they answered like 3 questions. Answers were never promised, just the ability to ask anything.

OK, well what I’m trying to tell you is that unless you have some exotic hardware, Mint has the reputation of working right out of the box. Not great for gaming, so if that’s a deal breaker, then that’s it.

Maybe try another distro? Mint 22.1 works just fine right out of the box, and at this point Claude provides actual support better than scouring 3 forums in case you need small tweaks. Other than some proprietary fingerprint reader I never use, every machine I’ve used it on has been fine.

You can just do a live install from USB and test it before even installing.

Meh - people are creatures of habit. To quote a family member “I’m too old to learn a new operating system!” Any change, even over to Mac OS, is rejected by most Windows users. Even when 99.9% of what they do is in a web browser.

Came here to say “Well, maybe they’re corrupting your data.”

Mr. Internet, tear down these walls! (for all these walled gardens)

Return the internet to the wild. Let it run feral like dinosaurs on an island.

Let the grannies and idiots stick themselves in the reservations and asylums run by billionaires.

Let’s all make Neocities pages about our hobbies and dirtiest, innermost thoughts. With gifs all over.

I can’t conceive of people wanting to glue fake plastic eyelashes on their eyelids and not think it makes them look like a circus clown.

Yet people do that all the time.

People are generally pretty stupid.
