This isn’t the most well written article, it makes it sound like there are police vehicles parked on the grounds of the church of Scientology.

I bet you “he has the best teeth in the world”, and “his dentists have never seen better teeth”. 🙄

If someone picks up a chair and hits a person with it, is the chair now evil? Should you avoid using chairs because of the potential hurt they can cause? Computers are the same.

Focus on the positive and don’t dwell on the negative. Play games, tinker with hardware and open-source software. Get off platforms like Reddit/Lemmy where negativity is much more pervasive.

Of course, if you find yourself “recoiling from all online spaces” then consider alternative hobbies that give you the same level of satisfaction.

Joined Lemmy and was randomly adding communities. Started getting random memes coming through and that’s when I found out what a “bussy” was.

There is a difference between “Nvidia isn’t selling cards to China” and “nobody in China has an Nvidia card”.

Plenty of stock would be going to China, just not directly.

Nailed it. The first was awesome, the rest were just terrible.

So glad I live in hell.

The first two words of his comment were “Jurassic Park”…

Jurassic Park used CGI for many of its dinosaur scenes, they weren’t all animatronic.

What animatronics were used in LOTR? Gollum was CGI.

I’m not saying you’re wrong but some of your examples don’t seem right.

They are still a shitty regime, but I do like the way they are standing up to the US.

If this war does nothing else, it confirms that the west was full of shit saying that Iran had nukes.

There will be a senate inquiry when they get back to investigate the failure of the “SPAM in Space” mission objective.

Of course. I’m sure they are making use of plenty of bugs found in firewall software to access and monitor business traffic, but they can subpoena those logs at any time. It’s the private vpn clients where logs aren’t kept that they are most concerned about, hence why I was outlining the difference.

No, because there are different types of vpn connectivity.

A point to point vpn is what employees use to connect to the office. The intention is to encrypt the connection so a 3rd party can’t access ithe data going through it. The FBI/NSA won’t care about this type of vpn because your work knows who you are and logs all traffic generated by you which could be subpoenaed by the government.

Connecting to a vpn server in another country to then access the internet hides your original ip address, gets around geo-location blocks and the traffic is typically not logged by the vpn provider. This is the type of vpn governments don’t like.

As an atheist I believe Jesus existed, I just don’t think he was the son of god or that he was resurrected.

It would have been far easier to start a religion around a real man with actual followers than if he was a figment of someone’s imagination.
