We feel neurotypicalish with stims. But neuros feel wired, almost high, with them. We got the short stick in may ways, and the long stick in other, harder to find ways…

Imagine trying to party, and feeling perfectly normal, calm, and even tired, while everyone else is tripping balls.

What was your tell? Lol

Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we’re fine. Facebook, maybe not so much…

If I can’t change it once it gets breached (because it will get breached), then it’s not security, it’s a hurdle at best. Biometrics entry isn’t security; it’s convenience.

No. COVID didn’t lead to this. Their insane greed lead to this. We were more than happy to pay a fair price to own a product, but no… they wanted more, and more, and more, and, eventually, we had enough. The fact that it happened during a pandemic is irrelevant, because it didn’t lead to this. Their greed lead to this.

Not just hiding, but actively blocking. Pissants.

Not sure Linux busts in like this. It just, sorta walks in like it owns the place. “Door was locked? It wasn’t for me.”

I’m literally dealing with this shit now.

That link was a super interesting read!

I’ve always had it…

The ereader has a reading mode?? This changes everything!

Security and privacy are not the same thing. For that matter, neither is anonymity.

Did you get a glass bowl?

Microsoft gonna Microsoft

“security features”, in this case, actually means “ecosystem lockdown features”.

No, it’s fine. I heard they were getting defunded.

Indeed. I’m saving up for a dumb tv with an HTPC, and hopefully will get it deployed before that nonsense comes my way.

Unrelated tongue conversation, but related to your username lol

Nah, they’re doing A/B testing currently for their next several waves of ads. I think (but don’t quote me on this) I read that in the new EULA.
