He is completely wrong. Couldn’t be more wrong. But preventing a rabies outbreak?! Tyranny!!! Oppression!!! Fascism!!!

What the hell, man…

In movies when there’s a huge explosion in space, there’s always this ring that comes out from the explosion. No!

In space the blast wave would be spherical: it only looks like a 2d ring when observed from a telescope many many light years away, since the telescope can only pick up the outside edge of the blast.

Good. That’s exactly the kinda of lowbrow crap that shouldn’t be accepted in public or online. And if you can’t advocate your favorite orange weirdo in a diaper without calls for violence, doxxing folks, etc, then you know what? That’s the kind of worthless shit heel society should not be wasting it’s time on…

I’m not gonna teach my daughters who they are or are not supposed to trust. Because I will never teach my children what they should think, but rather how to think for themselves. I will encourage them to only trust individuals that prove themselves trustworthy, but again, that’s not my decision to make.

They’re not extensions of me; they are distinct, individual human beings. So I certainly hope you will not teach her to be distrustful; that leads to misery and pain, all in the pursuit of something that doesn’t belong to you and never will (her mind is her own, whether you like it or not).

Huh, didn’t realize that. I understand a lot of the physical servers for those kinda companies are in the upper Midwest, but I never thought about where thire HQ is at; you make some excellent points.

There is definitely a fight brewing over who has final say in regards to what happens on the Internet. Gonna be interesting seeing how this plays out.

The difference is, I think, just how much of the content or there is hosted in America. If they succeed in forcing local companies to follow some new draconian measure, it’ll likely have a disproportionately high effect on non-US traffic.

Well, they’re the ones that know which pizza shops have pedophile sex dungeons hidden underneath. So, I guess they’re fighting themselves. (As I typed that out, it occurred to me how true is a statement it was…😝)

Wow. Reading this comment has lowered the IQ of everyone in this thread…

Lol no.

What am I missing, here?

Well, for starters, you seem to be missing anything resembling a coherent argument… 🤪

Umm, no. Just…yeah, no.

The main problem with this theory is that Microsoft is absolutely abysmal at user end security, and they always have been. Frankly, they do not understand the issue.

But, more to the point, the whole TPM/secure boot stuff is a compromise; originally (I think this was about the time of Vista), they partnered with OEMs to have them include a DRM chip that made it literally impossible to install any non-windows OS on your laptop. They’ve managed to still get an implementation of TPM that makes switching your OS too confusing/difficult for the average user.

Anyway, bottom line is they only care about money, and they neither care or even understand the security needs of the end user.

But… they’ve long since figured out how to monetize without the content. So, that’s a hard disagree from me…

Umm, so do you realize how badly you just destroyed any shred of credibility you had left?

Thank you for identifying a source of disinformation, though; I’m adding it to my block list.

The ability to gamble on the performance of a company auto-magically means investors know more?

Huh…

What, wait, no; yes, it’s falling apart. Why would you want to prevent that? I don’t want it fixed; I just wanna help others survive while it crumbles to dust around us.

If you don’t let this society die, how will we build the new one??

To replace a corporate executive? No, I don’t think so. We already have algorithms more than capable of replacing CEOs. There is nothing that challenging in what they do…

I know it’s not what you asked, but check out So Low lotion for men by Hello Cake. :-D

So, men are only a problem because…women are the problem?

Wow.

Fuck’s sake, worry about yourself. You want better? Deserve it. Or not, and settle for less. Whatever.

Ask a woman what dating is like. You, personally. I dare you.

Only issue is, clearly you won’t listen to their answer.

Windows? Yeah, I’m talking out of my ass here, but probably only unplayable because Windows helpfully created some kinda corrupted data file related to the disc.

What he said is factual; you didn’t make the disc itself unreadable. Which is why I blame Windows doing something stupid and not helpful.
