Gotta cough to get off 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t know how it works under the hood, but from a user perspective it behaves like it’s in BFU. Biometrics disabled, phone code required.

Long press of power and volume up for a few seconds puts you into BFU.

Right? Some of us buy no AAA games and don’t even kinda care it can’t run them

I use the Orion browser with uBlock Origin installed and get 0 ads on YouTube.

Not the topic at hand but,

it seems Americans hate the idea of installing any third-party messaging apps

For me, I can talk to literally everyone I want to via the stock messaging app (iMessage in this case). I get no value from installing a second messaging app for a specific human or two.

Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.

Like I get it, it’s scary and I don’t want them to have my data, but my picture is being taken ALL the time basically everywhere I go. Is putting my foot down for this specific type really making a difference?

I’m gonna fall through the ceiling :(

Even beyond renting, installing a wifi camera is SO much cheaper than running Ethernet all over your house. And if you need it run through an external wall? Even more money.

And what IS my privilege internet stranger? I’m making a good faith argument on the internet that you disagree with, but I’m a stranger to you and you have no idea of what my daily life looks like or how much privilege I have or do not have.

I appreciate the disagreement, but I don’t appreciate assumptions of what kind of fucking castle I live in or how isolated I am from current events or political violence.

As a thought exercise: if he succeeded, doesn’t that only further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?

I don’t like Trump either so I get the feeling behind the message, but I don’t see any universe where a successful assassination attempt is a net positive for the country. Seems like it only furthers division and probably leads to a worse place overall.

Would love to know how I’m wrong though.

Almost certainly. The facial ID is good enough that US customs didn’t even want to see my passport. Just a photo was enough to let me back in the country. I even significantly changed my hair between departure and arrival. Shit is scary.

Call it what you want, but this requirement prevents me from buying their products too. I use no Meta services. Don’t wanna start.

I’m doing my part too!

Maybe we could do like a take-a-gun/leave-a-gun kinda thing at the front door to schools to help those who can’t afford one. After the metal detectors of course.

I mean, I’d like them to act like they feel bad. I think that’s what most people are after. Some semblance of “this is wrong and I’m sorry”

“Yeah, I know it’s shitty, but it pays the bills 🤷🏻‍♂️”

Pocket bribes? You got it bud. 😎

Geneva Convention Article 39:

This one weird trick defeats your enemy in seconds and makes you a war criminal.
