The unending mystery box and MacGuffin type of show really needs its own category lol. Lost, X-files, Fringe

Rising fascism all over the place, what can possibly go wrong

You are clearly a fucking little teen or something. I have tons of old systems that do the job fine and will run until the heat deah of the universe. Not everything is about the latest and greatest gaming system.

Look at username

Huh?

Let’s bring on the 4chan etiquette… 😅

This is it right here. I can’t believe the nonsense I’m reading in this thread. Just goes to show how absolutely uninformed most people are when it comes to security and privacy

I guess I find it confusing because (for me), the term liberal was used as a synonym for a lefty. I know left of US “liberals” don’t like liberals, but that’s more of a recent revelation to me

Fuck off Benny. Either answer the question or move on if you have no desire to have a conversation

I think the world liberal is used… Liberally. I usually equate it in the US political term for left of center (or rather the opposite of conservatives), but I know the entire US political system is hijacked - both “sides” answer to the same overlords

Why do you use the liberal label? I’ve been hearing this “China bad” shit from the right for years

My experience has been that computer science is a huge umbrella term to normies. Many people, including hiring managers seem to thing computer science is more of a trade education where people come out knowing everything about excel, windows, PowerPoint, file conversions, obscure knowledge of ancient software, expertise in setting up enterprise printers, etc

I was developing software for a position I was in, and everyone was shocked I was a developer… (It was a devops job where everyone basically edited yaml or json files all day long…)

People who disagree with you are people who never spent time with the ultra rich. I’ve had the pleasure to hang in those circles and it was absolutely eye opening the complete disdain that social class has toward the working class. It’s so fucking crazy that one has to see it for themselves to truly appreciate the hate they have for everyone not in their economic circles.

Preach on brother, but I also understand why the plebs don’t believe you

We spent way more than one Trillion…

Never underestimate the stupidity and mental gymnastics of conservatives

I can’t speak to “emotional state”, but the thottening is a real thing (I’ve spent weeks trying to stop having all these ass models from cluttering up my feed, it’s impossible)

I’m convinced insta knows your a guy and will blast you with reels full of chicks no matter what you do.

My guy, everything has changed and yet nothing has changed. You are arguing specifics while I’m arguing bigger picture. I’m not saying your wrong or I’m wrong, I just think we have a different view and measuring with a different kind of ruler, and yet I don’t think we are really in disagreement, this seems to be arguing over semantics of what videos were in ~95 (very low res and shit quality fyi) and how many people had access to those shit quality videos - I’m just saying they were always there

It’s still the same bullshit - people looking at text on their terminals. Be it SMS, be it discord, etc. people looking at images, listening to music, etc. inb4 “durr durr no 4k res in 95”, no shit

I really don’t know what your crusade is with this topic, but I actually do have(and still use) the same computer I had in the late 90’s - SGI Indigo2 Extreme I got when I bought Alias PowerAnimator. Me and you were absolutely not doing the same stuff with our systems

My guy, wtf were you doing in the 90’s on a computer? of course we didn’t have streaming or just stupid useless videos that litter YouTube now, but there were video files all over the place to download and watch. For whatever reason, people were making the time and effort to digitize videos. Mpeg codecs came out in the early 90’s - I specifically remember efnet irc members posting urls to mpegs of Weird Japanese vomit porn. Amiga scene was strong too, (video toaster came out in 1990…). Not really sure why you even feel the need to doubt any of this
