But the machine needs those orphans to keep going! Why would we want to deprive the system of what it needs? Won’t anybody think of the shareholders!?!

Not much, what’s up with you?

I would say its both. You can’t have someone sue for you when you die, but even if you were severely harmed and lived, it implies you can’t sue then either. So I would say we are both correct.

It is by far the best reason they could give anyone for being pro piracy. Forget the morality of it anymore, when the alternative is signing your life away it would be stupid to pay for it.

A bit ironic as he never pays for things either.

I was thinking the same thing, this is just too specific to not get it mentioned.

Achievement Unlocked: Mention Linux in a computer related thread!

100% of tech related posts have this achievement.

(Relax comrades, I too am a Linux disciple.)

It was a joke about the significant portion of lemmy users also being Linux users. Also that Linux users ( like myself) would be oblivious that somebody could dislike Linux or not be interested. So it is assumed that they must like Linux then and would care about things Linux users care about. With the magic of circular reasoning, you can then say that since they must obviously love Linux that they would then agree with the person and want to hear what they say.

It was a far stretch for a joke but I will stand by it.

They said issues that they don’t care about. If that were the case, they would logically only agree. So that can’t be it.

I like the way you think.

If a peaceful solution doesn’t work, then can we eat them?

Yeet? No. Eat. Yes. We reduce pollution and world hunger at the same time!

That is fair, I thought I read percentage. My mistake.

I don’t want to be that guy because it is a big number. However, in terms of the human population, there are 8 billion of us and when it comes to the difference between a million and a billion. It is about a billion. So about 0.04% of the human population. Terrible tragedy, yes however it is true.

Those damn Canadian’s know what they did!

That is also an option. Having the google store prevents some weirdness or issues with requirements for certain apps though.

There could be an exit on that floor. Sometimes malls are built on a hill so multi level exits are possible.

It is important to note that grapheneos has a web version that you just go down the line following the instructions and it will take care of the heavy lifting part of unlocking the bootloader and install. It is probably about as easy as they could make the process. As long as you have the ability to read carefully not do anything stupid when instructed not to, you too could have a privacy focused phone.

You also don’t have to give up the google store if you don’t want to. You can have it reinstalled. What is the difference you may be thinking? Doing it this way sandboxes the store apps preventing them from doing anything you don’t want to while getting the advantages of the play store.

All google knows is that you have the app, not what you do with it unless the app you install goes out of its way to manually report without google services. However, you probably don’t want to use those kinds of apps anyway.

All I am saying is that the transition to better privacy doesn’t have to be bad or immediately. You can take your time.

Don’t kid yourself. We know you are the only one who handles that little thing you call an object.

The ideal prank. Confuse, don’t abuse! Although illness concerns from putting your face on a heavily handled object.
