No. The loss from ridiculous misuse is small but meaningful and basically worth nothing because typically “exposure” isn’t worth anything whatsoever. Worse it might convince some other assholes with the same strategy to specifically target your joint magnifying their loss.
It’s funny that you who have run nothing know better than every company.

Normal people should either buy a computer with Linux just like they would windows or Mac or google model of computer + Linux before buying.
Its weird to compare apples not only to oranges but to moldy oranges when this isn’t the actual user experience.
People who do continue to use Linux don’t just keep buying random hardware and hoping it works because they have search engines.
No onboarding process with randomly chosen hardware with hostile OEM is ever going to be good enough for people who are stupid lazy and cheap.

When I’m shopping for one I simply consider Linux support a requirement. Same as you don’t just buy Xbox games and hope that they work in your ps5.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
Anyone can buy a computer that comes with Linux or a computer known to work well with Linux and have the same experience

He’s a huge racist and a trump loving MAGA. He isn’t getting hatemail for not liking Linux

Some people are not very social, are taciturn or sad by nature or circumstances. They don’t owe you “fun” they owe you doing their duty.
You are a terrible person.

Could be c suite at a small company. If you have a few hundred people for instance

It’s not about the average over time. You are required to keep a continuous pace. If you drop below spec you are given a warning. The fourth warning is a rain of lead in your body. You can lose a warning by keeping pace for one hour and you can accumulate addition warnings until mortality if you don’t get back up to speed after a given warning.
So with no warnings you have less than 40 seconds to live if you just stop.

I’m tired of having empathy for pieces of shit 99.5% of people aren’t trash and we would be better on average if we dropped them in the bin.

Now you can get arrested and kicked out of school and have your school career and college options ruined for following the strategy you did

Bullying is often in the form of low-level violence combined with verbal and other forms of harassment committed repeatedly by folks who enjoy it.
There is little hope of beating it at the same level of intensity and for reasons of culture and not prosecuting thousands of kids adults avoid dealing with low intensity harm between kids even when over time it is intolerable. Beating up the bully requires one to be capable of such when the bully may be larger and physically imposing and part of a group then not getting treated as the guilty party afterward for being the one who actually caused real harm as if the harm of years of harassment aren’t real.
Its great your solution worked for you but for lots it would mean bully and friends get to beat you without consequence and you get in trouble reinforcing the game.
Its quite frankly on average a bs solution. The actual one is to pay attention to who is a pos and kick the 1% worst pos to shit schools so 99% can learn in peace.

Leftwing extremists want to tax the rich and give everyone medicine but they are willing to compromise and just keep our existing broken system if others don’t agree… Rightwing extremists want to build concentration camps for democrats and brown people, punish gay people for existing, subjugate women and crush all resistance murdering people if they can’t get the votes to do it democratically.
Right wing moderates are ok with this and believe other people should be ok with them for going along with this.

the free AI service is literally a throttled version of the same tech with fewer options available its the same thing the idea that the free one is a mindless learning one and the expensive one is the real one is a fundamental misunderstanding based on nothing.

Encrypting internet traffic is a completely obvious innovation once the internet and encryption were a thing. You’d be stupid for suggesting this because privacy destruction is absolutely in everyone in powers interest AND has countless legit benefits that people are going to care about more than the downsides.
Do we want to know who the pervert is who is harassing little suzy or sharing janes nudes or threatening the government? Why yes yes we do and the easiest way to ensure we do is to destroy everyone’s privacy. A thoughtful balance is so much harder and requires so much intelligence and forethought along with giving up some benefits of absolute transparency that the chance of it happening is basically zero.
We can have the current broken wild west or 1984 because both of these are easy and comprehensible.

So no country in the world has such a system that actually protects privacy in practice

Which country anywhere has ever implemented a zero knowledge proof of age rather than using a id or information trivially linkable to an id. The answer is none have none intend to and none will its a complete fabrication to cover actual reality.
Nor is it liable to be limited to outright porno.

The truth is out there is what people say about big foot, the flat earth, UFOs, and lizard people.
You have to pay monthly for devices that access the internet at all. It doesn’t seem unreasonable that YOU not everyone should have to pay for something that is safe for your 8 year old rather than just getting your 8 year old an Ipad and wifi. This forum isn’t safe for an 8 year old.
Regardless, you have made no comment on the idea that I want it done with zero knowledge proof.
Because there is no indication that that is ever going to happen. Either nothing with happen. A few hardcore porn sites will get age gating because they want to do legit business whilst others hosted in other countries will do nothing ensuring your teen still finds boobs when he searches OR we will go full on 1984 and this will mostly be used to suppress the entire free and open internet in the US.
Your fantasy that this will be done safely is just an indication that you are stupid.

You haven’t demonstrated what harm comes from googling naked girl and seeing boobs.
If you want devices with parental control you will need to pay for them.
Devices like school computers already have such. This won’t stop a determined person from borrowing their friends phone and googling naked girl but that is a reasonable trade off honestly.
I don’t want to turn the entire Internet into 1984 so your kids doesn’t see boobs until he’s 18

It actually already does cover it. He’s tricking folks into tipping twice by failing to disclose that they have already tipped. It’s simple fraud.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 months ago:
This is bad logic. Every industry has a thousand things they solve by regulation to establish a sane baseline that you experience every day mistaking this hard won normalcy for a self occurring default.
The behavior that is described is actually fraud and if you consider across just this one employees year it probably is thousands of dollars in fraud. It would be normal to report such to the city government which reports such to the business which in turn fires the server and trains the rest not to defraud customers.

Attractiveness is both subjective and situational and people are often terrible at judging their subjective attractiveness to particular others.
There are also lots of reasons not to want to be persued starting with being in a relationship
Also peoples attitude towards germs and hygiene varies wildly.
The greatest sin of this comment is to suppose that because someone does something it makes sense even in their own subjective context. People are both weird and stupid.

Then every offer was like this screenshot. I gave up and now I environmentally recycle perfectly good gear that someone could have enjoyed.
didn’t leave my goods up for a week and only get shitty bids. I stopped posting when the first bid on day one was insulting
Were you lying then or were you lying now?

Correct the low ballers don’t come up they are pure time wasters

The funny thing is that you think everyone else is the problem when zero legit offers means its virtually certain your asking price was nonsense.
People with used obsolete goods often have expectations of value pegged to what they originally paid for it rather than what it’s worth.
Search your own or similar good on markets to see what other people are paying for similar or better goods.
Is Amazon selling something for 20 similar to what you paid 50 for 5 years ago? Shipped to your door tomorrow for free? Well then nobody is driving an hour out to your place next Tues to pay you 25.
