Isn't drake a pedophile? Last I heard was a big commotion because he had abused underage teenagers or something.

And now everyone seems to be back to liking him? I can't keep up.

True, but to be a little fair to them, the republicans have the power and use it to completely block all objectively good attempts at progress at all. Nothing good can happen in america without a supermajority or a complete change of the system.

It's because their pain is very real, their struggles are very real, their feelings are very often valid, and they understand the concrete impact that it has had on them and their way of life.

They can't abstract that out and critically think about why that is the case, so they just repeat what an authority told them and is easy for them to understand.

I don't know though if it is simply a lack of education or an inherent human solipsism that is hard to break through.

It is the same the world over, even before TVs when newspapers brought the news, and before that anything written down was true because "priests and scholars definitely wouldn't lie." That is why extremely strict factual news laws have to be brought into effect with anyone caught lying bearing fines based on a percentage of their revenue to combat fascism that is based wholly on fear fabrication. The problem is, of course, policing that correctly as for example an American Trump regime would simply use those laws to say that anything they don't like is not true (they they do anyway now).

Capitalists making use of and profiting from socialist programs and structure is a tale as old as capitalism.

Pharma as an example. Crowdsourced research, government funding with money from the people only to be bought by a capitalist corpo where they do the last 10% of the work by industrialization, jack up the price by 1000x, and take 100% of the profits and don't even pay back their fair share in taxes, and then get a state-sponsered monopoly for an outrageous period.

But that is what they consume.

Didn't something just come out that Alberta has a higher trump approval rating than anywhere in america or some dumb shit like that?

That doesn't happen by consuming responsible news sources. That happens from Fox non-news.

There is also a large difference between openvpn and Wireguard.

Openvpn would cost me a few percent per day and would always be constantly retrying connection when in no service which absolutely killed my battery on the train.

Wireguard I have gotten a max of 1% ever. It seems to not have those issues.

As a part-time sysadmin at my small company. We use Altium and Solidworks, so we need windows.

I have 10x more windows problems than Linux problems like a bug for around 5 or so people where a windows update would disable the microphone, but every single microphone menu and setting would say it is enabled and working properly. You HAD to use their troubleshooter (which they are now phasing out, wtf) in order for it to be auto fixed. So soon it will probably be replaced by something else that won't fix the issue.

0 information online about it, 501 different way to fix audio issues, none of which work.

Nowadays the only problems that I have with Linux are slight bugs or user errors, honestly.

I get the thought, but your phone can also have a security breach at any moment, ESPECIALLY because normal user error is by far the weakest and most often exploited attack vector.

Bitwarden's vaults are also encrypted with the option for even stronger argon2id encryption. Bitwarden themselves can't access them or reset them. It is open source and most importantly, audited. KeypassXC has only had one audit ever. (Though that passed and I would also definitely recommend keypassXC, it is great software security-wise)

The database is stored, encrypted, once on their server and once to each device you sync to, so it is available locally.

Even if they had a security breach, by design the assailant couldn't access your database any more than they could access your keypass database.

You can also self-host it which would bring it exactly to the level of keypassX variants as far as attack surface.

Not to mention with bitwarden, you will also only need one key. That is the whole point of a password manager.

"It is available locally and a lot better..." is simply untrue. They are both great options. Just whatever works best for the person. Bitwarden has a ton more QoL options and enterprise options, plus separate, shared password databases and such for families and companies. Again, just as secure.

Eh, it is a con when there are problems, service problems, bugs, etc...

My instance have had a few of them and for a while our 1 admin was unavailable.

It is difficult or impossible to get it resolve because there is no contact point, nobody hired to fix issues that need immediate triage, etc... which can result in longer outages or bugs on specific instances.

I'm not complaining. This is a fantastic service that is being offered completely free from actual altruistic incentives, unlike corporations. There are a few downsides though.

What about "I want twitter to be a bastion of free speech?" And all of his cronies screeching "Musk is just preserving the first ammendment!!1!¡"

Looks like the quiet part is now being said out loud: "for Nazis and fascists"

They can't. That would break the illusion of being an "enlightened centrist."

I.E. votes right wing, sees themselves as slightly more moderate, but sympathizer and defender of the far right and Nazis.

Or one of the many foreign troll farms found to be pushing the "enlightened centrist" narrative.

The problem is that the socket will always have the mechanical retainers for all sorts of plugs. This was a problem for example in the shitty Nokia (HMD Global) phones that used the literal cheapest half-sockets it could find. The retaining tabs wore out and the entire phone socket had to be replaced.

But yes, the smaller retaining pins on USB C will wear out the plug first. Apple Lightning cables will wear out at the phone side instead of the plug side. The difference is that Apple requires Lightning certification on all of their cables meaning that shitty out of spec Chinese crap can't ruin your port as easily. They worked around bad design with legal restrictions. This was also a play by Apple to restrict charging to whatever they want with proprietary protocol.

USB-C is also grounded from the shielding around the connector, that is huge for pushing higher speeds also. Lighting is limited to 2010 speeds, but generally on phones that doesn't matter.

For your dirt problem, a smaller toothpick works fine and I have used that method many times to get fuzz and dirt out of my port. Don't use metal. Generally you will be fine with metal because GND and high voltage are both right next to high speed data lines so it will simply pull the data line high or low, pull data lines to each other, or temporarily toggle CC/SBU pins. Not a big deal, but if you go diagonally you can short something that would burn out supporting components, so I would recommend wood or plastic.
