A_Random_Idiot,

No.

I’m not a coal industry propagandist, so the only opinion I have on wind turbines is to build more of the fucking things.

A_Random_Idiot,

if there is a series of crimes in the area, police would increase patrols in the area.

Anything more than that would require hiring a private security company.

ground based security could easily be bypassed by a drone and with a remote igniter and a release latch.

A_Random_Idiot,

I never said they wouldnt investigate.

I was just explaining how they wouldnt become a private security force.

most apps are just websites wrapped inside a container and made an app.

Why?

Because they dont want you to use the actual website.

why?

Cause your browser gives you a LOT of protection against invasive data mining/profiling/tracking/etc.(Not saying its perfect, We all know about fingerprinting and HTML5 canvas tracking and what have you…but its a LOT better than the information that apps can steal)

Data mining/profiling/tracking/etc that these companies want to do to you, because you are a product to them, not a customer.

And how do they do that with an app?

Permissions.

Ever wonder why your pizza ordering app has to have access to your contacts, data storage, camera, microphone, etc etc etc? Its not because its needed for you to order pizzas. Hell, you can do that on a website with no permissions, so why is it needed for an app on your phone?

So they can steal/mine your data for profiling/tracking/marketing/being sold to others/etc.

A_Random_Idiot,

Depends what you mean by cheap eats.

Do you mean bare bones no cash for big output cheap food?

or do you mean “I can swing a big initial output of money to save tons”?

If its the first one, find a dollar general with a fridge/frozen food section. You can make quite a few good, low intiail cost meals from what you can get from there.

if you mean “I can swing a big upfront payout to get a lot of stuff thats bargain barrel price per unit”, then buying a whole pig or cow and having it butchered is probably the best way to get a ton of meat, dollar per pound wise.

A_Random_Idiot,

as if women didnt have enough of a problem with people grabbing them and going pew pew, pewpewpew before!

A_Random_Idiot,

Or just be like a shark and grow new teeth every 20 years or so.

A_Random_Idiot,

also got rid of the fairness doctrine, explicitly to allow the creation of Fox News and forever change news media for the worse.

A_Random_Idiot,

Any attempts to make you whole after destroying your gift?

A_Random_Idiot,

Its really bad when you’re in your living room talking about PSUs, then all of a sudden the only adds you see online are about PSU’s.

A_Random_Idiot,

You must be an executive with impeccable logic such as that.

A_Random_Idiot,

This is why i dont have any interest in glass side panels.

I dont even like clear side panels, but if i have it i’ll take acrylic… sure, it supposedly scratches easier, but wtf are you doing to get it scratched in the first place? probably the same kinda stuff that breaks tempered glass, lol.

A_Random_Idiot,

I cant even tolerate going to the store with mine.

She turns a 10 minute trip to grab milk and bread, into a 2 hour ordeal where I have to watch her like a hawk cause if I turn my back to her for .03 femtoseconds shes up and disappeared.

A_Random_Idiot,

My deepest sympathies.

A_Random_Idiot,

I have LEDs in my computer against my will, because the heatsink and motherboard both came with them and to get ones that didnt would have cost more.

My GPU used to have them too, but I recently upgraded to a new one that doesnt, which is fan-fucking-tastic in my opinion.

Looks like the floor of a abattoir after a unicorn butchering.

A_Random_Idiot,

sure, if you use windows and download their proprietary spyware control panel.

Yesterday I had a major “I am living in a movie and I’m the character everyone loves when bad things happens to them” vibes

Cause I woke up yesterday and a not insignificant chunk of my electonics were broken/nonfunctional… Some of them werent even plugged in, so its not like it was a power issue or something.

They were all bought at different times, from different stores, and different brands. The only thread tying them all together (and this is where the movie character shit kicks in) is that all their warranties expired within like 2 weeks of eachother, Which means they all just fell out of warranty.

The Few replies from the various companies I’ve gotten so far can be basically summed up as “1 day out of warranty is still out of warranty, go fuck yourself”

It sounds so ridiculous that even I don’t believe it, and I’m living it. Do they just put kill switches in stuff to make them die immediately after warranty now? Cause I sure as fuck feel like they do.

A_Random_Idiot,

Don’t.

Thats the only advice you need.

Forums are not social media. God I am so tired of this disingenuous, and intercontinentally stretched argument.

“Hur hurr rhurrrrr U TLAK 2 PEPUL HARE TAT MEN U SOSHUL TAT MEN DIS SOSHUL MEDEEUH”

Social media is a very specific thing, relating to things like Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/TikTok/Etc.

Forums, like Lemmy, are not social media. Just because you interact with people on something doesnt make it social media, trying to stretch the definition to that regard makes everything from clay tablets, to semaphore, to IRC to email social media.

A_Random_Idiot,

Yes, stupid delusional users who actually know what social media is and isnt, unlike a self aggrandizing imbecile making comments like yours.

A_Random_Idiot,

i miss the mid 90s internet.

Where the internet was a curiousity, not yet exploited by companies and advertising, where to find new websites you had to click next on ring networks or find a website directory cause search engines werent even a thing yet, but every website you found was someones passion project and rife with the interesting and bizarre

A_Random_Idiot, (edited )

No, Its not.

A_Random_Idiot,

I think your post here is a bigger red flag than someone not having social media

A_Random_Idiot,

The internet has definitely lost its wonder, and more become a thing of dread due to bullshit, ads, spam, etc etc.
