Aren’t the figures on the package meant to be net weight though?

Pretty crazy to think they got broken up in the late 90s/early 2000s for simply including IE in a fresh Windows install (im probably over simplifying but still). Yet these days they’re pulling this kind of shit

Sorry, just go farming and build your own house? Do you think those things don’t have significant upfront costs that would be a barrier to people in precarious conditions?

This is not a serious argument, it’s completely detached from the actual barriers people face in reality

The people in this picture worked too, then the system collapsed due to rampant financial speculation and they were made destitute. Along with hundreds and thousands of others. People literally starved to death during this time.

If your response to the idea that perhaps things could be better for the people who work and contribute labour for your stuff is “well if you don’t like it, go live in the wilderness”, you suck.

Wow you suck

The reddit api blocking 3rd party apps pushed a whole bunch of people onto lemmy, and lemmy is very big on FOSS and Linux so it’s been a gateway of sorts

I feel this will just breed resentmint

Oh yeah that’d do it

Anyone know why the article says on a scale unseen since the First World War? I would have assumed since the second world war given the scale of that conflict. Did WW1 have more amputees than ww2?

This could’ve been a Frank Gallagher rant. I love it

To be clear, my working assumption is that there is a nefarious reason, it’s just not immediately obvious to me what it is.

As someone else mentioned though, you could be a bit fucked if your eyeball data is used to identity fraud you, so perhaps not the best idea for a security standpoint

So why do they want people’s iris scans? Like they say it’s an easy way to verify someone signing up is a real person but is there some other nefarious reason I’m missing here?

Gotcha. I’ve got my router doing auto update - initiatally I thought you were referring to an auto update tool for the renewal you have to do every month with the free ddns that makes you do a captcha. I should probably just pay for the next tier up tbh

What do you use to auto update ddns?

Presumably they maintain full access because they control both ends. The encrypted part would stop others intercepting messages. At least that’s how I’ve always read it

Edit: I’m wrong, end to end does exclude even the app provider from seeing messages. So yeah, either not enabled or they lied
