Its only bad once it takes the form of Communism/socialism for the masses.

FTFY

These corporate assholes love socialism when it helps them, just not when it helps anyone else

They have closed source code, so nobody besides Apple’s engineers and programmers can verify those claims. And since they work for Apple they have an inherent bias.

Since their claims cannot be independently verified, we cannot take their claims at face value. It doesn’t prove they’re lying, but it also doesn’t prove that they’re telling the truth. All people know is what their marketing department puts out.

But if that’s enough for you to believe that they respect privacy, then I have a bridge to sell you as well…

You have to buy a Google phone (i.e. pay iPhone 17 Pro money for an iPhone 11-powered phone), so Google already double dipped.

1: You can buy used, which means not giving money to Google

2: In what way is this “already double dipped”? Double dipping would be selling your data after selling you the phone, but you reserved that for “triple dipping”

Just like Android users who say they want to get away from Google, all the while shouting “never Apple” despite Apple claiming to stand for privacy while Google does not hide the fact that they sell your data to the highest bidder.

despite Apple claiming to stand for privacy

CLAIMING.

They’re both multibillion dollar tech corps that sell your data. Trust neither.

I should also point out that one has had a defacto walled garden for decades now, the other is still putting up the walls. But regardless, trust neither.

Don’t switch to Apple. Switch to actually private operating systems like GrapheneOS or Linux.

Tbh, onions actually can’t make me cry. I’ve tried, and it can actually be a curse. 1 onion isn’t a problem, but cutting 3 entire bags in 1 go is just pain when your eyes aren’t diluting the acid

So it was less of a “incest relationship”, and more a someone who wanted her brother back

Wasn’t there a scene where it was heavily implied that Suguha had just masturbated to Kirito? You’re writing an entire essay to argue against what the anime very directly states.

The series NEVER fantasized SA, it clearly shows how bad it is and has our protagonist stops it

Take a step back and actually loom at the show. None of the actions or plans for any of the villians ever make any sense. The sexual assualts are distractions to prevent the audience from realizing that. But the author picks distractions that he thinks are cool. It’s a tactic called ‘debate and switch’. It’s when the author writes themselves into a corner that they don’t want to address, so they have the villain do something ridiculously evil out of left field to distract the audience.

These reasons are why I can’t SAO haters, your heads so far up your ass

Ironic. A lot of us can actually tell when the author makes immature asspulls throughout the series. But you seem incapable of that and get irrationally angry about it.

What’s really sad is that I originally sympathized with you. I despise NGE and everyone who tries to push it into my face. But you’ve just been so unpleasant here that I don’t give a shit. Ta ta

Also as a sidenote: this asshole also wrote “glomping 2 years of cum into her pussy” in one of SAO’s side stories. The author hasn’t matured past age 14. Maybe that’s why you’re a fan of the series.

that won’t get taken down by the masses immediately

But are the masses patrons or protestors?

True. Though unfortunately Goblin Slayer ends up being uninteresting after season 1. I wouldn’t say it’s bland (because it still has a fair bit of violence), but it just seems to stall out

Suguha is explicitly stated to be Kirito’s cousin and was also raised as his sister. It’s alsoexplicitly stated that she was in love with Kirito. This is in the 2nd half of season 1, the Alfheim Online Arc.

And there’s also the scene where Asuna escapes from her cell in the 2nd half of season 1, where she ends up recaptured by guards who for some “mysterious” reason are tentacle monsters, and casually suggest tentacle raping Asuna before putting her back in her cage. And there is literally 0 point for the scene to be like this except the writer and anime studio wanted to suggest tentacle rape.

If you had instead said it’s just a couple of bad scenes in an otherwise good show, that’d be one thing. I wouldn’t agree, but I could at least respect that argument. But no, you didn’t make that argument. You instead feigned ignorance of a show you claim to be a fan of just to call me a poser.

And for the record, I watched through Gun Gale Online when it came out. The end of that was barely less gross than the Alfheim Arc.

Not really. Steven Seagal has never been in actually good shape or skilled at a real martial art. All of his fights are completely staged. And aikido is complete mystic nonsense.

If you were to insult him, he’d be less dangerous than the average overweight middle-aged dad drunk from beers at a football game or some stoner at burning man.

I’m pretty sure the show’s insistence on injecting incest and rape into the story is a major contributing factor to that

Maybe ram usage? Bazzite is one of the bulkiest distros on that front, sitting at ~4GB usage at idle. I have no idea where SteamOS sits in comparison though

Why isn’t GRUB menu a fancy little thing by now?

Because you can’t improve on perfection

inb4 narcisstic ragers: I’ve been spyphone free for 6 years now.

You say that as if it makes you less of a cunt

No, we hate because it’s garbage. It’s annoying garbage because people won’t shut the fuck up about it

God, I fucking despise NGE and how people won’t shut up about it

I filled out an IT helpdesk request last week because I couldn’t push any updates to GitHub. I was able to access the site, so I though my access token was retired since that happens every once in awhile.

Nope. It was GitHub. For some reason it couldn’t accept my push despite the website still being up. And I didn’t find out until the tech called the the next day and it worked when I tried to recreate it in front of them

I’d like a federated ecosystem for game mods that uses torrents for file downloads to reduce server load. Something to act as a safe haven in case NexusMods enshittifies. It’d also allow more diverse sets of rules through servers, so you could have versions of Nexus, LoversLab, etc. all sharing a framework instead of everything running smoothly for one and not the others.

Plus, NexusMods have really dropped the ball with regards to permissions. Their default permissions are set up so that if you’re a mod author, other authors need to ask you for permission to use your mod as a dependency. Not just crediting you and linking to your mod, but asking permission beforehand. I don’t see how anyone can look an that and not see it as insanely hypocritical

Yes. The guy habitually puts his foot in his mouth
