You raise some valid points but I don’t know what you’re talking about with mamdani. I am not familiar with what you’re referring to there but it does strike me as odd that one of the few names you picked to criticize is literally the furthest-left nationally-known voice, probably in American history.

I mean that Democrats are clearly extremely different from Republicans and it doesn’t need any “narrative” to convince anyone watching their actions.

Literally what are you talking about?

“The deep state” is a conspiracy theory for morons, everything about Epstein has been common knowledge for a long time.

You’re literally trying to imply that most conspiracy theories are real but most people are normally too stupid to know about them? What even is this post?

Lol it’s a “western narrative” that Nazis and a mix of people with some bad aren’t indistinguishable.

Black, white, gray? They all look the same to me!! /s

Every God awful thing apple does gets copied by Google eventually.

Weird way to say “I am a proud tankie” but ok

Beep beep beep inconvenient fact detected beep beep beep

Huh, I’m surprised that other countries aren’t big on kitchen gadgets. I’m American and I try to avoid any of those specialty gadgets. I’ve received several as gifts over the years, though I always end up selling or donating them

Than*

I’ll have to try that one. I was thinking it was an android browser. Oh well. I only said Vivaldi because I note its lack of AI and it’s available on all the desktop platforms

If you have to use garbage ass Google monopoly-ware, I’d suggest Vivaldi, but I’d recommend even avoiding that one like the plague.

That seems insane. I’d be more concerned by the fact that some rando somehow knew where I live. Good luck navigating this, it sounds shitty as hell.

I’m no statistician but this seems within margin of error to me.

Yeah, I hate Apple a lot but I am not willing to turn off my brain about it.

Yeah great point. In Hollywood they use wine. Definitely not ubiquitously all-Mac shops everywhere, yeah definitely not that. Every media company definitely uses all Linux lmao

They’re incredible feats of engineering, only hampered by apples fuck ass software.

Exactly. I would also add it’s because of their business practices which fucks the software side

Yes I’m falling for their marketing by specifically hating macs for 20 years, realizing they’re better than windows, using them for work daily and hating every annoyance of a mac, and finally shunning everything else in favor of Linux on every device possible. Yeah man I’m a mark!

Binary thinking makes fools of people. Do better.

• It’s corporate trash but still does a couple things right
• Your CPU uses 5 times the energy and gets way hotter
• You can hate apple but also see the couple of things they do correctly.
• Yes Linux is better in every way except it’s a bit more to maintain, but I personally find it worth the effort.

Lol this is literally their exact thought process.

You are a really confusing person. The context here is that I implemented improvements to my backup process that includes verifying the content of my backups.

Then I explicitly restated that and added that I also have two copies locally and an off-site copy. So why did you think you needed to type 7 paragraphs explaining to me why I should do… All the things I said I am doing? Are you truly worried I spent several weekends of my life to create a redundant backup system, but I’m doing it for the wrong reasons? I have demonstrated that I understand all of this. It’s pretty weird that you (and a couple others) slide into the thread to insist I haven’t considered everything, all of you insisting that unless I explicitly state otherwise, whatever system I have should be treated as though huge consequences are likely if even a slight imperfection in the system exists. I would honestly be surprised if even most medium sized companies have taken as much care in implementing a backup system as I have lol.
