With two Ironwolf drives, it’s more like “Awoostar”!

… I’ll see myself out.

Russian trolls just getting desperate at this point…

Kirkland Signature is Costco’s store brand.

Fucking Pocket.

Why?

Ah yes, a single random data point having nothing to do with the original post. You’ve convinced me.

“Biden wins the election. Here’s why that’s bad for Biden.”

RIP anything made of linen.

Bro has never owned a piece of clothing made of linen in his life.

I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of branding your instance to be about privacy and security when tankie-glorified regimes don’t respect that at all, and they’re instead mildly pushing people in that direction. Why not use something from the EFF pages on those topics? Nice strawman, though.

Joined Lemmy.ml because it was supposed to be a security, privacy and FOSS focused community

Yep that’s the line the developers put up there to lure people in. It’s mildly disingenuous at best. Having to copy a line from a document titled “The Principles of Communism” just to sign up should’ve tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

I’m sure you and the five other people who agree with you can have a riveting conversation about how wrong the millions of fans are.

Four*. FICO is another one and at one time was most commonly used for home mortgages. Not sure how true that is today, but it’s still very much in use.

They can’t bother you if you block them.

For example I just blocked the entire Linux lemmy.ml community 1 minute ago.

Sir, this is Lemmy. Everything bad past, present, and future is the fault of capitalism.

Oh yeah, everything bad is the fault of cars too. Almost forgot that one.

GDPR is no joke. Storing a handful of comments is not worth the penalty if they get caught.

Note that I speak from experience as part of a company that needs to comply with the regulations. We do it because the risk of violation is 10000000% not worth it no matter how annoying and arduous it is to comply.

Nobody said any of that. Get over your persecution complex.
