- Another cool lesson on higlys I found before:
Learn How to Read Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs with Ilona Regulski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwZB0MsXCjQ
- None of your shit made sense.
If phones should be "opened" so should consoles, 30 years ago.
Whatever shit you say to excuse consoles from it those same arguments can apply to phones too.
- Apple, parading as paragons of privacy, also allow companies like Facebook etc. to track you across reinstalls and EVEN DEVICE RESETS and NEW DEVICES through the iCloud Keychain API.
This shit has been going on for maybe 5 years but no one seems to know or care.
- Stop saying we like all of your schizophrenic identities are posting at once.
- lol not to mention the ongoing history of police brutality etc. Americans are so twisted up in their "us vs them" mentality even in this day and age it's just bizarre.
- > The US is diving towards an oligarchy but I'm not seeing our billionaires fall out a window
Probably because it -IS- an oligarchy? Why would they chuck themselves out of windows?
- There are 2 major phone ecosystems (Android manufacturers count as Android)
There are 3 console ecosystems.
Such difference. wow
- The universe was created to incorporate cats.
- > Fidesz is basically a russian backdoor
I love (hate) this:
Western rich people are billionaires.
Russian rich people are oligarchs.
Western-backed leaders are democratic, progressive etc.
Others are backdoors.
China is tricky because they make our iPhones. For now

Meanwhile, there's almost nothing on the news or social spaces about how indigenous populations are still fighting for independence from Western colonizers, such as New Caledonia, an amazing place that I was planning to visit:

(I don't know where else to mention this, this conversation seemed close enough to be relevant)
- How were elections swayed before the internet?
How much do fake supporters, protestors etc cost? What can be done about them?
- All these mental gymnastics to wring consoles out of the arguments against phones.. seriously what the fuck
Consoles run more "commodity hardware" than phones, like CPUs and GPUs and standard ports etc.
- This has never been about protecting users but about mobsters getting a bigger cut of the pie.
Look at the major companies aligned with Epic on this, like Match.com, and what they do.
- Really? I thought it's always been that HDR was notorious on Windows, hopeless on Linux, and only really worked in a plug-and-play manner on Mac, unless your display has an incorrect profile or something/
- This crap of making laws affecting people who have no say in the law...
"They're too stupid to have a say"
Same shit used against women in some countries.
- Yo, why the fuck are their people letting this happen
- People are complacent. Even me, even you. We're not going to get off our 21st-century comforts asses and actually do anything to disrupt anything.
At best I may avoid using products from certain companies until I really have to, like Google and Microsoft's AIs, or clear cookies after signing into YouTube so it doesn't sign you into everything else, or write a comment here and there about how some Apple APIs like the iCloud Keychain allow Facebook etc to track you across devices and reinstalls, but I'm not ever going bother doing anything more that would actually challenge all this dystopian fuckiness.
- iOS and macOS have been broken in so many small death-by-a-thousand-cuts kind of ways that it's frustrating to even write a comment about how broken.
- With a few UI conveniences StarCraft 2 could have been just as accessible to newer players as League of Legends.
- It would be useful to see some examples of the differences and supposed strengths of Gemini so this doesn't come off as Google advertisement snarf.
Also, I would never, ever, trust Google for privacy or sign into a Google account except on YouTube (and clear cookies afterwards to stop them from signing me into fucking Search too).
In actual practice, it just means that users get fucked from every side: You have 100 different "launchers", just like the 1000 toolbars in the internet's early days. You have to keep track of 100 different emails, accounts, recurring bills and all sorts of shit.
You'd have to be naive as heck to believe corporations fighting against a platform's monopoly are benefactors who want distribution of power and access for the benefit of users, instead of mobsters wanting a cut of each user's pie.
