It makes the populace wonderfully easy to puppeteer, which is great for governments both domestic and foreign. Russia and China are having a great job spinning up contention in the US and setting groups of opposed people actively at each other's throats. Organisers for groups and events end up being unrelated foreign actors who there just to intensify the conflict and push the two sides in to direct confrontation wherever possible.
The fact that her family were just like "a rich, aging celebrity?!? Of course you can predate on and fuck my 17 year old daughter", that says awful things about her parents.

As if an American company wouldn't just pick up where they left off... have you seen Meta? The system needs regulation, not a change in ownership to preferred snoopers.
Everyone holding shares has a pretty vested interest in believing the bullshit, because it impacts all of their bottom lines. The truth loses them money, so they’d much prefer a semi-plausible lie.

It’s frustrating that the answer to any of the questions/issues I have are generally reams of commands and walls of text that I only partially understand. If I find answers at all now that all discourse is being sectioned in to walled gardens like Discord. 😬
If I could get easy to access, judgement free tech support for Linux then I’d be fine (outside of walled gardens like Discord). I just don’t know how to solve my problems in Linux especially considering there are so many additional variables and often you either don’t get answers, are asking in the wrong place, or are asking in the wrong way. A lot of the time you just get scorn for not being born a Linux power user.
I do feel like I have basically no choice but to switch once W10 runs its course. I’ve got a dual boot of Fedora 40 KDE that I’m toying with.
My current woes relate to choosing a distro (Fedora 40 KDE) that is compatible with secure boot, for simplicity of dual booting, only to find that the DisplayLink driver that I need to run my screens is not signed. Therefore I either have to switch off Secure Boot anyway, or manually re-sign it after every kernal update with some convoluted series of terminal commands… which I will not be doing.
That and there not being an equivalent of the CRU configuration tool that lets me tweak my Freesync monitor’s ranges to stop intolerable brightness flickering.
Finding that none of the useful AMD Software settings like Fluid Motion Frames or Anti-Lag are supported is also a random pain.
Every attempt I go for, I generally find roadblock after roadblock until I give up because I have too limited a lifespan to spend it bouncing between forum pages tangentially related to my issue.
At last, a way to commit genocide without dirtying your hands. Combine that with their AI modelling of attack vict… targets, and they’ll just have a 24/7 roaming robot kill squad.
Well that’s certainly one way for your brand to lose a lot of respect once it becomes apparent. Much like I when want to lose respect for myself, I use Chum brand dog food. Chum, it’s still food, alright?
Because what you really want is a car that specifically depends on long term software updates, and is frequently the target of product recalls, from a company in financial freefall.
