Yea. It’s pretty laughable. I’ve been in software development and open source software for 25+ years at this point. No. You’ve made it your personality because you like the circle jerk. Reading the other comments you’ve absolutely chosen to not respond to anyone’s salients points other to call them shills.

When did I argue for the security of Apple? I simply pointed to your logical fallacies. Others called you out for not really understanding the concepts you’ve posted. Stop setting up strawmen for your points to land.

And sure. You’ll respond to this, again, missing any point to give yourself a nice rebuttal. Don’t worry about it. It’s fine.

Maybe because you seem to have personally invested yourself in a fight against a company by posting a 2 year old unconvincing YouTube video?

Because you disagree with people thinking Apple is secure. It’s honestly such a circle jerk. You’ll find more people on Lemmy and Reddit who are ready to tear down Apple. But it’s fucking hilarious to think you are inundated with shills. Go look at that (2 year old) YouTube’s videos comments. Go look at any Apple thread in tech subreddits. It’s so fucking old. It’s so tiring watching people shit on a company when I trust that company with my data much more than google or Microsoft.

It’s fine to make something your personality. You’re going to get pushback though. And it’s not fucking shills. The idea that shills would even be here is laughable.

So you posted a 2 year old video because of “some people” think Apple is secure?

Edit: so it’s a fucking check on signed apps? Ok? He takes one thing: Apple validates certain on signed apps - and then extrapolates it into this company is monitoring when you open photoshop from a friends house. They can get your isp! - holy fuck they could do this already.

Your response to - this is on every major os was to say “yeah but some people think Apple is beyond reproach”.

Every time I offer similar views the responses I get are somewhere along the lines of

But you can run Linux on windows! You can install most of the same tools on windows Just run everything in docker anyway

I’ve been coding most of my life. Usually people don’t understand just how sucky the tool chains are on windows when you step into certain dev work.

If I ever have to setup multiple python virtual envs again I’ll fucking just quit. Pipenv. Virtualenv. Poetry. Every fucking one on windows has been riddled with bugs

Yes. It is evident that banning masks is more important when corporations feelings get hurt at the existence of said masks.

So remember:

Personal choice here is not ok Virtue signaling is ok - as long as you are signaling virtues that agree with conservative feelings Feelings over facts

Kind of crazy how those three talking points are argued ad nauseam in the other direction. Yet seem to be the only supporting reasons here. Hmm. I wish there were a phrase that describes saying one thing and doing another.

Ok

I guess it really says something about those people who view masks as an attack on themselves based on your statements

Being in the workforce for 40 years now I do understand how corporations feel.

Masks help in general. And if an employee who has a cold wants to wear a mask that’s a net benefit for customers and society.

Maybe I have more faith in the American people to NOT FREAK the fuck out if they walk into somewhere that has a masked worker.

Probably unreasonable. Ideas of personal choice - until it comes to something where people disagree. Then personal choice gets removed.

So that is a reasonable take? They don’t want people to wear masks because they’ll look different? That’s a lot of justification for an absurd corporate mandate.

Yeah. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge oracle fan - and maybe this is pandering - but ibm’s move was such shit. It’s plain manipulation of gpl terms and does not really honor the intent.

What is your opinion on the wallet? Any downsides?

I liked it. The actors and they’re obvious “American accents that somehow all matched each other in a location that was definitely not California” was the only thing i wasn’t thrilled about.

The action was good. Deadites were great. Not sure if Raimi and Campbell will be doing a slightly different director for each entry in the franchise - but they chose well this time and wouldn’t mind seeing them come back (too lazy to look up the director name).

What the heck is going on with them.

If spez was a big ol burly man with a beard would you still be yelling at him? Or would you be spanking his bare bottom, balls and back

For anyone curious tho is a reference to op’s username driving crooner. You all know it. The driving crooner. It’s a million dollar idea

Honestly had no idea usenet was still a thing. I’m old. Old enough to know usenet and have used it back in the day. But young enough to switch torrenting and not ever really learn another way

Now I have to look up some info!

You have to speed up the train as fast as possible so it doesn’t look fake. People don’t matter.

I haven’t slept in a week man.

I keep thinking what will happen to splatoon? Will the world turn its back? This is the first time two sort of similar games are on the market. Gaming, nay- capitalism may not be able to survive this attack. What do we do? Should we protest???

I will be standing at the corner of main and 3rd tomorrow. I’m getting my poster board. I’m getting my markers. I need to let the world know.

The whole world is watching.
