It mentions & includes a link to the NotebookCheck site as the source. It’s certainly NOT an unreliable site.
- Comment on Void Phone VX1 is Linux phone with enterprise management features 14 hours ago:
I understand all that, but there’s no reason for that to require a subscription. A reasonable per-use fee seems like it should be an alternative option. Even if the company doesn’t want to set up those abilities on each phone themselves (which seems odd to me considering how automated that process can be made - when provisioning the phone, pop it on a USB stand, fire up a script, and walk away while it completes), those events can’t be happening with such frequency that a subscription makes sense for anything but a larger company with a high turnover rate - one that implies said company possibly has bigger problems.

Those features aren’t free though – according to a note on the Void Phone website, “basic MDM costs are $2.50 per phone/month.”
At the 100pc minimum that’s a guaranteed extra $250/mo cost. I know that’s relatively cheap in enterprise terms, but what a racket for something that’s mostly going to be “set it & forget it.”

Only if & when he can figure out how to drive them all to his “Truth(less) Social.”

Cool, well you go on coddling your overcompensatef insecurities by ignoring what people say in your quest to be another self-righteous absolutist ass.
- Comment on US farmers say Trump’s $12bn package not enough to undo damage from tariffs 4 days ago:
And there are those on both sides who sympathize with the other side. Absolutism & psychology often don’t mix well.

Your assumption is they’re all Nazis. Many are guilty merely by association, and are currently conflicted between deeply-ingrained loyalty programming and knowing that shit ain’t quite right here. It’s those fighting with their conscious that can be won over IF you don’t antagonize them by being too angry to help them see the light.

I never said coddle them. You just don’t need to give them more reason to dig in their heels. You can tell them they’re wrong in what they’re supporting without the ad hominem attacks.
- Comment on US farmers say Trump’s $12bn package not enough to undo damage from tariffs 5 days ago:
I agree, but using language like “inbred hicks” is counterproductive if you want their side to start seeing ours as the voice of reason. I’m no less angry, disgusted, frustrated, etc., but try not to reinforce their brainwashing regarding our side.

That’s it - get 'em high on all that fresh air, then choke 'em to death with the “smoker’s car” stench.

Much like that can’t be bird shit on your shoulder since they’re not real, either. Must be some dude’s cum.
Wait. Is that you, Monica?

- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 1 week ago:
I know this, but the general populace eats this shit up. They either refuse to believe that, or “think” it’s somehow worthwhile to “protect the children” (because they sure AF can’t be bothered to parent properly).

And decades-old The Benny Hill Show.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 1 week ago:
Gotta love how it’s “better” in these assholes’ “minds” to pretend sex doesn’t exist than to actually parent them on the topic that the kids are gonna find out about anyway - often in an unexpected and/or uncontrolled fashion. I’d much rather get ahead of that and make sure they know what they need to before they come face-to-face with it and are clueless - something much more likely to result in what is a supposedly (because they sure are picking the worst way to avoid it) undesirable outcome in the end.

Well, c’mon! How did you think a single white vigilante had a teenager running around in just a pair of tighty-whities (dyed green for plausible denial) didn’t have some sick & twisted shit going on?!?

I’m more concerned that you find it worthwhile to count the number of corn kernels that made it into your poop.

Read the article & comments. Seems like they were already kinda heading in that direction anyway, but I doubt it was due to just scraping by so much as the ever-present “maximizing profits” business mandate.

Nah, he’s black & white - I got him from [Gateway](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway,_Inc.]… Well, the company the licensed the brand name from Acer a few years back, anyway.

Saving on food & litter costs will help, tho.
