That’s what I do not understand. She does use home telephones the same way, on speaker, but with those she comprehends it’s not always in speaker mode and if not, to hold it up to her ear.
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 3 days ago:
My mom has long been clueless and resistant about anything tech related. Years back I switched her laptop to Linux because I was so sick of all the stupid crap with malware on windows. We used to have to Fix her computer one or more times a month. With Linux, that went to zero, and the only issue was setting up the software to download images from her camera (this was about 2010). These days she has a Chromebook and is constantly convinced it’s “screwed up”.
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 3 days ago:
My mother can’t comprehend how to use a cell phone without it being on speaker. She also doesn’t know how to switch it to speaker. If I hand her the phone in normal mode she holds it out in front of her and can’t figure out why she can’t hear anything.

It’s kind of amusing how all the sources for this community are complete crap. Zerohedge, breitbart, dailywire are all as biased as can be.

Just look at the argumentative, insulting and provocative discussion style. OP is absolutely a troll of some sort, alright it’s difficult to distinguish that from a typical deluded and fanatical conservative.

OP should have as many kids as possible. What are they waiting for?

Too bad republicans don’t even remotely give a fuck about making sure those babies have decent lives and support after they’re born.
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 1 month ago:
They get manipulated about and distracted by certain issues. The people who want power know this and exploit topics such as guns, abortion, fear of crime, racism/nationalism, sexism, economic issues and taxes. Plenty of people vote republican because they have been convinced that Democrats will take their guns, allow in too many immigrants (with the implicit idea that immigrants are bad somehow), be worse on the economy, lower taxes, let criminals get off easy, reduce the influence of Christianity, and so forth.
There’s also the decades of propaganda about socialism and communism, and against social safety nets as well as government and anything run by the government vs a private entity. So basically, because they’re not very aware or well informed and all themselves to be convinced by propaganda.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 2 months ago:
I’m actually in a situation somewhat like this. A girl our online group knows became somewhat fixated on me. She wants to talk all the time, fantasizes about us living together, but I know she has a long term bf. She isn’t happy with him, but still, they love together and we know him, so it’s fairly inappropriate.

Why try that? It’s terribly regressive economic and taxation policy. It’s essentially a huge sales tax.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 2 months ago:
That’s the problem. Trump is a complete fucking idiot, so just because something is a terrible strategy doesn’t mean he won’t do it. Look what happened last time with the tariffs on Chinese goods and the small trade war he sparked that screwed over soy exports. Did Trump learn anything from that? Or his voters? Evidently not.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 2 months ago:
It sure would help if Americans weren’t generally ignorant about uh… tons of stuff and especially anything that involves other countries. All sorts of fruits and vegetables are imported - green beans, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, lettuce, berries, bananas, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant. And then at the same time, the Trump bros want to crack down on groups of people who make up a large portion of the domestic agricultural workforce? It’s difficult to see some conservative policies as intended to do anything other than just fuck people over and cause chaos.

Oh. I thought it was supposed to be about how hard it would be to do stuff while carrying around spoons in your hands all day.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 3 months ago:
“Waahhh” huh? What a ridiculous reply.
Okay, how’s Tommy Tuberville? But who cares. I’m not visiting your “x” link but sources I’ve seen don’t even have pelosi in the top 10. Republicans are just obsessed with attacking her even now that she’s not Speaker. Talk about “waahhh”. That’s fine, if you want to engage in massive hypocrisy, wring your hands about imaginary problems and pretend everything bad is democrats, that’s very on brand for conservatives.
Anyway, yes, you should be concerned about ethical lapses of Congress members even if you don’t recognize their names.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 3 months ago:
Republicans are obsessed with pelosi owning stocks as if she’s the only person in Congress who does it. I guess it takes the heat of everyone else… I read a list of the top 10 stock owners and profit makers in Congress, one of course the top ones were republicans.

- Comment on Illegal immigrant arrested after stabbing of teen girl at Indiana baseball game: police 4 months ago:
where did the “notorious American and social security card-carrying U.S. citizen” part come from? It doesn’t seem like a phrase that would be in an NBC article.
- Comment on Illegal immigrant arrested after stabbing of teen girl at Indiana baseball game: police 4 months ago:
For some reason “immigrant assaults woman” is ‘conservative’ news, but “alabama pastor molests 10 kids” doesn’t garner a mention. I wonder what that means, could it be that it’s an anti-immigrant agenda and nothing to do with protecting innocent people?

Right, like “hey I’m going to post insulting and repetitive tripe and empty slogans, and make Lemmy worse after lunch today!” Great. Also, as countless people have pointed out, if they care so passionately about Palestinians, their activities are contrary to helping Palestine so…
- Comment on How is it possible for the IT experts to recover data that was erased from a hard drive when the storage of said hard drive appears empty? 4 months ago:
right, i’m super out of date but you;d want to do shred or some dd dev/random > device thing to securely erase them.
- Comment on How is it possible for the IT experts to recover data that was erased from a hard drive when the storage of said hard drive appears empty? 4 months ago:
Because of how filesystems work. There’s basically an index that tells the OS what files are stored where on the disk. The quickest way of deletion simply removes the entry in that table. The data is still there, though. So a data recovery program would read the entire disk and try to rebuild the file allocation table or whatever by detecting the beginning and ends of files. This worked better on mechanical drives than SSDs.
