Pretty slim pickings there, but I can't especially disagree. The point of the question really was to allow the poster to explain a very specific implication they made.

Yep. And I'm not against going to basic lynx when needed. But the person I responded to made a very specific implication, and I'd like their opinion.

Allow me to expand my point. If you are using a computing device of any type, you are using the fruits of the labor of IBM, Xerox, and AT&t from the 1950s and 1960s. That means, by your argument, you are glorifying racism, homophobia, sexual assault and xenophobia among other things. You should definitely get off the internet.

What do non-trumpets but still privacy focused people in your circles use?

[-] freewheel@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

I might suggest getting off the internet and finding a completely self-sufficient lifestyle then. I guarantee you there are people that you would disagree with in person, in every supply chain.

It's not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what's going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It's a safety measure.

Things must be getting really bad if the president needs a second job....

Not understanding that upvotes are popularity driven might be the first error.

Make your posts, ask your questions, and move on. If people are interested it'll get traction. If they're not, expect apathy or downvotes. Just the way it works.

My company went remote first in April 2020. Even if I left here, there's no way in hell I'm going back to an office.

This is the practical outcome in a system where voters are forced to vote for the least problematic candidate out of a pool of two preselected politicians. Nothing will change, administration after administration, until the people are allowed to select their own candidates and the media promotes more candidates than just the big two.

Side note: a lot of people right now will be knee-jerking and wanting to respond to me that that's what the primary system is for. Wilding v. DNC Services Corp and the Democratic primaries that caused it should disabuse anyone of that notion. And trust me, if the Democrats are dirty dealing so are the Republicans.

Garbage. I'm over 50 and I'm not worried.

I know for a fact I'll be working till the day I die.

I lived in Phoenix for a while, 05-08ish. I grew up and live in Florida now. The difference really is the "dry heat" that everybody treats as the big joke. You can still sweat in 125 and dry air. 125 in humid air doesn't let you sweat.
