its a place where you can get prepackaged malware that runs on your linux install half as well as if it was running natively.

no, I’m making a reference to a shitpost that was made earlier this week where it brought attention to bestiality laws in conjunction with animal husbandry/breeding on farms.

the original image was a repost of a repost where someone made a catty comment about vegans.

the uproar was immense and caused the post to spill over to vegan communities where they clutched their pearls at the commentary that wasn’t even made by anyone on Lemmy and proceeded to raid the shitpost community.

the comments were a disaster and the entire thread was quickly overrun by veganistic puritans who just wanted a flame war.

it was honestly the most hilarious thing I ever saw on here.

post looks to be deleted now though.

I know some vegans who are going to be very upset with this point of view.

even some of the cold ones too.

technically it does.

there’s no requirement that vendors have to verify your country of origin and asking for that kinda breaks gdpr.

just request your right to be forgotten and they will just comply.

ahhhh, that makes sense.

when did this change? I can’t vote if I’m even tempbanned let alone full banned.

based entirely on patterns I recognized, I believe it’s a filter.

then go to low altitude as quickly as… safe-ish-ly… possible?

so that’s a no go on the palpatine expressway?

did you feel that? I just changed the world.

with my fart.

slowly?

fuck dude, they’ve been speed running that shit for years.

it’s a “petty war” because nobody that is a part of either side has any real power to change the world, and they are both willing to die on their respective hills just to prove to the other that “you” are wrong.

the fight itself is less than noteworthy that in a few weeks nobody will remember or care unless they stood on their hill.

but you can fuck all the children you want as long as you’re in “the club”.

but the functionality is still there. it’s not like it’s been removed, access has just changed.

but it’s not basic functionality if it’s only in 10% of devices on the market.

it seems like you’re hung up on a particular feature of a device no longer existing and you have an inability to accept change. I can appreciate that.

personally, I hate vehicles with “infotainment” systems in them but they are installed in 75-80% of cars these days. nothing was better than the old mechanical radios with the big buttons that would “ca-chunk” the dial for you. the warm glow of the neon bulb inside dimly lighting the cab. don’t even get me started on the entire removal of AM radios entirely.

if I were to let my preference for the radio stop me from buying newer vehicles I would be losing out on all of the important safety improvements made to cars over the last 40 years. things like air bags, seat belts, mathematically formulated crumple zones, auto-roll fuel pump sensors, etc. that’s not even mentioning some of the comforts like power steering, AC/heating, EFI, rear window defrosting.

my point is, you have an option to continue using a headphone jack with an adapter, there are even options to repair any damage should any occur. I can’t even look at my car radio like I want to replace it without a $4k dealer visit because it’s integrated into the ignition system.

seems like a really silly hill to kill yourself on.

fair point, but…just replace the USB port? it’s repairable for a reason…

get yourself one of those emergency glass breakers that are spring loaded.

resist the plutocracy

you know what would be really helpful? cross this with data from moderation. content removals, bans, permabans.

then, layer in mods/communities and you might find why users are leaving.

and here I thought it was because I’ve blocked close to 300 users.
