Hmm, I went with the mobo cause I wanted the Nuvoton I/O Controller since I’d read that was more likely to have sensor support with Linux.

Was having a hard time finding them since I could only find the info by driving into support .pdfs but I could look around more.

Haha no, it’s just what I have from my old box, it’s storage for media mostly. I put those on as placeholders so I could calculate max power draw.

I will definitely be picking up a NVMe SSD at some point, it’s just not necessary for my initial build. You have completely valid points.

I actually really liked that idea, thank you.

Probably because no one has any proof other than anecdotal evidence. And the vast majority of times it’s looked into it’s because the person reporting it doesn’t understand how else their information is collected (i.e. web searches, intranet data for other people, browsing histories, etc.)

Look at it this way, is it more likely that the majority of security researchers that look into it, find nothing, and deem these use cases as inefficient and improbable, are wrong; OR is it more likely that data collectors builds good profiles, mixed with some Baader-Meinhof, a little Dunning-Krueger, and a lot of coincidence?

Not everything is a big conspiracy, nuance is neccesary, or the sky will always be falling.

It’s like you didn’t even read the original post. Your first three paragraphs are redundant because the OP already mentioned that they agree with you, barring calling it bullshit.

Your utilitarianism the the whole problems they’re pointing out, if you read the actual post, you’ll notice that all it does is draw us further and further to the right, with no end in sight.

These types of threads always come across as whiny and overblown to me. Kbin works just fine the majority of the time, and it’s still my preferred method for accessing microblogging/thread data.

The fediverse is a massive project, if you don’t like what one part is doing go elsewhere, you can access most content in a variety of ways and it’s good to have alternatives.

I’m far more appreciative of what kbin brings to the table than what all these naysaying posts and circle-jerks bring up everytime there is a lull.

Is there criticism of kbin, sure? But how is this constructive rather than whiny doom bait.

You sure are giving IDF/the original source a lot of leeway, especially their expansive track record of flagrant lying and dehumanizing propoghanda.

And ultimately you argued for a hospital to be bombed under the idea of a “legal target”.

You’re only proving the mods point by continuing to whinge about it. Move on.

Whew, just whitewash over what the Mormons did in Missouri first to cause anger. I’m gonna guess you’re on the Mountain Meadows denial bandwagon too.
