I guess this sums up Rimu's position pretty well,
That’s how Mastodon gets forked into Truth Social.
I understand the sentiment, but as long as any project is FLOSS this is a risk. They can just fork and remove the list. It's sort of like the "security through obscurity" mentality. It's not actually doing anything to prevent motivated fascists from forking PieFed and removing that. It's just making it marginally less convenient for them to do so.
There is no easy opt-out
How so?
Yep, especially because chip manufacturing has such a massive barrier to enter.
Old device? Ooh, that's suspicious.
And as we all know, they're going to say that not using a Genuine™ Android® Operating System is extremely suspicious.
The sad reality is that people never change their mind in the moment, and if they do, they won't tell you. People are emotional creatures. His ego was 100% in defense mode. All that said, he could very well use more detergent and warmer water next time. At least as long as his parent isn't around to see lol.
(Edit: Reading this back it feels really condescending. To be clear, I'm the same way. I think everyone is. I'm no exception. I've caught myself doing this after the fact.)
On the one hand, I think people immediately saying that are mostly being silly, but in the other hand that is a joke for a reason and could be mocking these people. Who knows?
This is sort of like saying "I leave my valuables in plain sight by my door because it has a lock on it and door locks are trustworthy." I'm not super into cyber security and stuff but it seems like one of the most common problems is programs managing to get access to memory they shouldn't have access to. It seems to happen all the time! Just like many locks for you door are trash.
not their actual workers.
Are they even their "actual workers" or are they contractors?
(Read the tone as snark towards Disney for over using contractors and refusing to hire people, not at who I am replying to.)
Let me rant about sour cream. In America, land of the free, home of the brave, we measure things by volume. Why? Because fuck you, that's why, I guess. When you need sour cream, you look at it and see "oz", ahh, ounces, okay, so how many fluid ounces are in a cup? Alright, let me look that up and... Wait a second. That's "oz" not "fl oz". That's the weight ounce, not the volume fluid ounces!
It was at this point in the conversation that my wife got frustrated and said it was probably the same. To which I protest, no, it's not, they're different! To know how much volume is in this stupid container of sour cream I need to look up the fucking density of sour cream or just guesstimate based on if I think it's gonna fit in a measuring cup or whatever. And you know they're playing with shrink flation and that thing where your brain has trouble with certain shapes and thinks it's bigger than it really is.
So imagine my frustration when writing this post that I randomly decide to look up how much a fluid ounce of water weighs, because I think at one point that was brought up and I said we shouldn't assume water and sour cream have the same density. But apparently a fluid ounce of water weighs 1.041 ounces. And also, apparently the density of sour cream is extremely close to water. According to this god-forsaken website it is 1.0125 ounces per fluid ounce.

SO IMAGINE HOW STUPID I FEEL THAT AFTER WRITING ALL THIS TO VENT ABOUT IT, THAT YES, IN FACT, AN OUNCE OF SOUR CREAM IS ABOUT A FLUID OUNCE.
I hope this brought you joy.


Did you ask them?
