Understood and appreciated

Do you even remember what you were saying? Because that's not it

The very fact that you think you, as an individual, have the capacity to determine what the general public's opinions are based on your experience, means you either have super powers or you're completely unaware of the fact that you don't even have the capacity to remember enough people to get a reasonable sample of how people feel, you're unaware of cognitive biases, and you don't understand numbers. If you managed to actually talk to every single one of the 1.382 million people in San Diego and get their opinion on this random subject most of them probably haven't even thought about, you would be sampling 0.4% of the population of the country.

I don't consider it stoopping to their level, it's pointing out how stupid they sound so others reading might actually think about it before blindly agreeing and parroting. These people don't deserve our tolerance any more, they've had plenty of time to have an actual original thought by now.

Why are you so dumb that you think regular people agree with you, when most regular people actually don't give a shit about whether or not other people want to wear a mask? Do you get your dick in a blender over whether or not people you don't even know wear a helmet on a bike? Or do you live in some shitty town with population 2000 and think that somehow your experience reflects the other 350,000,000 people in this country?

Most regular people think you're a pathetic dumbass who doesn't even think for yourself.

These days I feel like they're flat out wrong nearly a third of the time

So wait, are you telling me when the government made you wear a mask in public spaces that was infringing on your freedoms and it was okay for you to get your dick in a blender, but when in and out tells people they can't wear masks, it's childish fugazin anger directed at pointless bullshit? Why don't you mushroom heads ever stop to think how stupid you sound crying about your freedoms and crying about other people having normal discussions about their freedoms. Go free yourself.

Idk, I pay for my utilities based on usage, and there are fees too. The fees maybe could be argued are subscriptions, but they're not the majority of the bill

Not everyone even knows how to use custom ROMs, tech workers may have a huge presence online but we're a tiny minority irl.

Anyway, good, go build it. Saying one small mistake makes a company terrible privacy isn't doing a whole lot for your credibility though, so I recommend you spend more time building than talking about it.

Well said. It surprised me that we didn't already know this given the rigorous amount of prior studies

[–] Shikadi@wirebase.org 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So they did one thing wrong and it means they're terrible for privacy? Welp, guess I can't have a phone because the alternative (Google) has a business model that depends on being terrible for privacy, and my work apps disallow custom ROMs.

I mean that sounds like a pretty good response to me

 

Title. I accidentally close threads halfway down the comments and can't get back to where I was. I'd rather have the gesture disabled if it's too much work to hold my spot (I'm on Android, where back is built into the OS unlike iOS)
