Dude needs to learn about blocklists if that’s what his feed looks like. There definitely is a cesspool but it’s pretty isolated.

Except for the most popular OS on the Internet, of course.

How likely are you to be wearing the backpack and get shot from behind?
Not trying to say it’s not a racket but the backpack could easily be used to provide cover in all sorts of situations. It’s not like it can only be handled on your back, you can flip it around, hold it over your head, get down in the fetal position and hope it covers you enough to keep little johnny from shredding you with daddy’s ar. Pretty versatile actually.

Same reason an alcoholic needs alcohol to keep from shaking, you’re addicted. Go ahead, try to stop. You’ll shake just like they do.

No worries. The way the info is laid out it’s pretty understandable how you came to that conclusion. I came to the comments to make sure I was understanding it correctly too.

It would and this is showerthoughts not truethingsonly
- Comment on The percentage of the population who did/didn't know of Crowdstrike probably reversed in the past week 3 months ago:
You’re taking showerthoughts way too literally. It’s an exaggeration. The number didn’t “reverse” but it definitely multiplied. Businesses were impacted and who works for businesses? People who probably never heard of cloudstrike until it shut them down. It grounded flights and every person in an airport since then have probably heard the name. Anyone with a news app on their phone probably got a notification and know the company now. The number has drastically increased and that’s the point, not that it specifically “reversed.”

I had a customer getting the bsod on boot. Happened about 2 seconds after the windows login screen showed up so no time for anything.

- Comment on Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks 4 months ago:
I think it’s the amount of recalls in such a short time combined with how long it took to ship the first one after you could place an order. And the ceo’s attitude definitely doesn’t help.
- Comment on Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks 4 months ago:
Very true. Now I’m angry at myself for missing an opportunity to use one of the worst contractions in the English language.

front windshield wipers that can fail
Seems irrelevant if the truck can’t even get wet
- Comment on US bans Kaspersky antivirus software due to 'national security risk' 4 months ago:
Oh I understand now. I thought you were saying Kaspersky not McAfee. I didn’t think they were saying McAfee was Russian, just absolute garbage bordering malware.
- Comment on US bans Kaspersky antivirus software due to 'national security risk' 4 months ago:
just like Instagram is not Chinese
Do you mean tiktok? Because it’s quite a bit more Russian than Instagram is Chinese unless there’s some crazy zuck is owned by China conspiracy I’m unaware of.

or providing subjective negative reviews
I’m not sure what your argument is here but it doesn’t seem solid. How is a reviewer supposed to do their job?
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 6 months ago:
This is why I went for Tidal:
Tidal takes a look back at a HiFi Plus subscriber’s top streamed artist at the end of every month, and then allocates the direct payment to that listener’s most played artist. Qualified artists who enroll in the Direct Artist Payout program will be able to collect the payouts allocated to them on a monthly basis.
But they recently changed their pricing and I’m no longer paying 20 so I’m not sure if they still do that or not. I have heard good things about napster too.

To me it sounds the exact same. The language doesn’t say “printed propaganda that doesn’t have a lot of nuance” it just says publications.
- Comment on Sony gives up on forcing PlayStation Network for Helldivers 2 6 months ago:
Claiming a console only player would be more willing to accept this than a pc only player isn’t elitist, it’s common sense. Owning a console is already saying “I’m okay with exclusivity and walled gardens.” If you weren’t you wouldn’t have paid so much for access to exclusive titles. Also just because your friend have both doesn’t make that the norm. I haven’t owned a console since I built my first computer and only know one person who owns a console that isn’t a switch.
