discouraging votes for Harris necessarily helps Trump.

Please point out on the doll where I discouraged anyone voting.

What you’re actually saying is that no one is allowed to criticize your favorite politicians. Which is totally unsurprising but disappointing nonetheless. This is the kind of whataboutism that has fueled our fucked up political system for centuries.

Found the illiterate dumbass who thinks these statements support Trump in absolutely any way guys.

Talk is cheap. As attorney general she also held the power to decide not to prosecute those people.

If she did anything to prevent this, why wouldn’t she just come out and say it? Not saying anything at all about it other than that she’s proud of it is the most damning evidence we can have.

Trump DGAF and Kamala made a career outta jailing weed smokers so it’s not likely to change anytime soon.

Great, now do health insurance.

I mean yeah, that sounds like some bullshit. Make up a new rule that makes no sense but screws passengers out of their money. If someone complains, just give them an exemption. If they don’t take their money.

It’s like when Well Fargo got caught stealing a few pennies from millions of customers. Anyone who complained got their money back, but those that didn’t (which was a lot) they just kept.

Sometimes there’s an obscure item I need that I can’t find anywhere else. That’s what I usually buy on Amazon. Other times it’s cheap Chineseum stuff that I want to be able to return without hassle or get refunded if I never receive the item.

But yeah, generally I try to buy directly from the seller, and especially try to buy locally if I can.

Years and years ago, they discovered that Google was still tracking your location, even with location disabled. That’s because Google created a surveillance network using your friends’ phones. Your friends’ phones would find local WiFi connections, and report them back to Google, along with associated GPS data. Then Google used this to make a sort of WiFi map. So now Google can tell where you are without ever getting any actual “location data”.

Whaaat? I definitely use Bluetooth without location services, and always have?

I like the language exercise of trying to say a complete idea in the less possible words.

Except people don’t do that. They just create these ridiculously long and confusing threads

That’s what class actions are for.

They could easily claim damages, considering they may have made sacrifices over the years against other providers in anticipation of the T-Mo guarantee.

I think it’s worth noting that you could never post this message on BSky due to arbitrary and fucking stupid character limits.

I’ll never join anything with character limits. Like, why?

Of course you can.

Linux is great if you’re a software developer and don’t ever plug any hardware in.

I mean they would have to charge enough to make it financially viable. Maybe no one else would buy it but me…

Yeah that’s me. Never even made it to W11 but the fact that I had no autonomy over “my” computer really fucking irritated me.

if they did the 2nd part entirely within your PC, would it be ok privacy-wise, and would the consumers be ok with it?

I mean Chrome works exactly like that now so, yes?

Depends on how you define “okay”. Do people understand how it works, and want it to work that way? Absolutely not. Even if they did, would they do absolutely anything to change it? Also no. And that’s talking about software that has a dozen excellent and free alternatives.

It really hasn’t though. MS used to make money selling Windows and other software licenses for shit that you owned. Back in the day before personal data was The New Oil.

What do you think it would cost MS to sell a version of Windows that’s just…an operating system, and not an ad platform? Like Windows XP? Or maybe Windows 10 on day 1?
