You can also avoid using the internet entirely. I personally reference my 30 volume encyclopedia collection rather than risk seeing an ad or an internet service being anything less than perfect.
- Comment on Reality Winner documentary concealed how she got caught (yellow tracker dots) 1 week ago:
You can not buy a fucking color printer without writing somewhere around 5 paragraphs and declaring this is an extremely principled issue in your life.
Printer makers have no legal obligation to surreptitiously fingerprint every page printed.
Frankly, you are simply stupid if you believe this. As with the rest of the anti counterfieting approaches this is done pretty obscurely.
This is why I will not buy a color printer. No, it’s not paranoia (neither sensible paranoia nor crazy). It’s ethics. I have enough dignity and self-respect to refuse to feed my oppressors and buy something that is designed to deceptively work against me.
Yeah okay but most people have a life that requires printing stuff once in a while. In fact, everything that has ever come out of my printer has been easy to trace back to me based on the content alone. Wow! I’ve even looked at my own printer’s tracking dots under a microscope. Should I shit my pants and cry on lemmy about it like you?

Its okay to stop running the servers. All gamers want is to have the stuff it takes to continue to enjoy the game after the companies are done.

This is also consistent with Reduce reuse recycle
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 1 week ago:
God, shut up. There’s the “communist” dumbass instances which is just far right levels of stupid, and then literally the entire rest of this platform is just normal centrist europe views. “Leftist” is a term Americans use to describe giving immigrants healthcare and thinking homeless people should be given homes.

Okay dumbass, nobody is throwing a tantrum over units other than you. Why are you so pathetic, would you like to tell us?

- Comment on The Trump Administration is Building a National Citizenship Data System; State and county election officials can now check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists. 1 week ago:
Same fucking way americans correct issues with SSA, DHS, and the IRS: paperwork. Come the fuck on with this slippery slope bullshit. Ever had a job? The I-9 employment authorization paperwork… just shut up
- Comment on Probably would be better off with alien or lizard overlords 2 weeks ago:
Nobody is better off with any overlord, that’s why we’ve spent so much effort trying to invent satisfying and effective governance.
While this isn’t so serious and is genuinely a shower thought, this is the lazy “I am deluded that different = maybe better” thought process that actively ruins the world, so please put more effort into wanting the world to be something else or focus on something you can.

Are you stupid?

Literally everyone has been saying this the entire time.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 3 weeks ago:
Your brain is weirdly unhappy with the concept of other brains doing math. Nice!
The brainpower involved in mental math is just real-time factorization and otherwise general application of the rules of arithmatic. It’s no waste, it’s just a well practiced set of pathways that take annoying math and make it friendly. It takes at most 2 seconds to know if it’s time to use a calculator.

You can just say youre not comfortable lending a charger and instead take custody of their device to charge or own a really cool long cable which shows your intent to compromise even in the presence of boundaries others aren’t prepared to understand.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
The fuck kind of question even is this? Customs installing a keylogger on your device? You are not only dumb as hell, but clearly far too stupid for a nation to ever care about you for even one single moment. Congrats on the immunity.

- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 4 weeks ago:
As if, the console’s a scam and the game pricing is just the cherry on top. Half committing to caring about how much things cost is a waste of time, either acknowledge they’re both garbage or stop spreading this half assed attitude.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 4 weeks ago:
I’ve realized how easy it is to just actually run a network rather than half ass it with tailscale. I recommend this, it’s fun.

Life isn’t a conspiracy theory, the hardware is likely colocated. Tf is your issue, weirdo?

Just watch frieren and atla (not an anime but cmon) if you want to achieve peak storytelling alongside getting to know characters as they interact and develop or even just show you who they are as they already were.
- Comment on How are roundabouts made? 1 month ago:
You can also just mark a guideline using a rope tied to a pole and then drive the line painters per the guidelines.
- Comment on Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates 1 month ago:
This is just a more complex version of shared dictionary compression which I think one of the web compression algorithms does. Stupid LLM fuckers at it again with dumb garbage.
- Comment on Difference 1 month ago:
It’s hilarious too since one of the plotlines in the damn story is “Nobody listened to Frieren when she said monsters are only out to manipulate you with your words again” so it’s crazy to miss the fact that the story very strongly proves monsters are NOT intended to be at all likable or deserving of empathy.
- Comment on Difference 1 month ago:
I might suggest that, although Omniman suggests the reason he doesn’t care is because of his long life, it is his belief in Viltrumite supremacy that truly fuels the idea of her being a pet in his eyes.
