Did you hear about the ad agency that pushed for the age verification in Australia? They posted gambling ads, and instead of banning the ads, the advertiser pushed for age controls so the issue with kids would be “resolved”. Or so I hear. Really, they are probably just trying to control the population and steal data.

I’d also like to have the audio inputs back. I’m sick of charging this cheap overpriced Bluetooth crap.

dbzer0 is a good one for it. I could try to make one.

Same here.

I’ll throw my phone in the goddamn lake first.

People still use Amazon.

Like the folks buying this legislation are not pedophiles themselves. It is for spying plane and simple.

Try quotes supporting minorities made by Trump. That will really confuse them.

I think your piss is warm and cozy. Best piss I’ve felt all year.

No, but you can not shop your way out of it. Fuck it. Who needs a TV anyways?

Not everyone is a digital nomad.

Tomato basil soup, not the Campbell’s nonsense.

Changed two phone batteries recently. One took a few seconds. The other one with adhesives took an hour of labor just to remove and reapply the adhesive, and I still need to redo it. They made it as shitty as possible to repair. Fuck Samsung.

Doesn’t that mean you hate life in general? Every second of every day is performative nonsense.

No, we can’t just move some place. Most countries require a substantial income or huge investment. Incomes require jobs, and countries require employers to make an attempt to hire citizens first. Most of us speak one language too, so even if we go to the shittiest countries, we’ll be vulnerable to scams.

Reminds me of my Samsung phones. I got a new battery for my Galaxy S5 and one for my S22. One from around 2015, and the other released in 2022. You can take the back cover off the S5s and replace the battery in a few seconds. By 2022 they disabled serviceability to the point that removing and replacing the back cover alone took an hour to do, just so people will buy another rather than use a heat gun and learn about proper adhesive removal and reapplication. They just made it a monumental pain in the ass so they could sell more phones.

Seriously. Don’t come here. Humanity needs to resolve it’s billionaire crisis first.

Probably the same reason as in the US. Billionaires need to control people with the coming AI-induced labor crisis, so they need predjudiced, uneducated tools that are brainwashed to blame things on minorities so people fight amongst each other. When 30% of a population experiences food insecurity, they will come for someone. Authoritarians just point to where those people are. All of the poor’s problems that are caused by the rich are somehow blamed on “the others”.

The idiots who buy it basically deserve what is coming.

Honestly, Proton has seemed shady this whole time. I got a bogus gmail account so that it would not move all my google spam to my Proton account. Then it sent an email notification to a completely different gmail saying that I needed to check 5 new Proton emails. Like, I did not want that to be known, hence my reason for switching to Proton. It pissed me off, so now it is just my email trash can. I’ll find another junk email when I pay for extra domains elsewhere.
