For the record, that's an incredibly shitty argument.

"LOL GIT GUDER PC"

There's a better solution for legacy hardware on windoze, and you don't know what it is.

Just admit it, or STFU.

Can't just have a royal rumble. You're going to need to iterate ALL of the flavors into factions if you want a war.

I vote everyone vs Arch (btw)

This isn't a logo. It's a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.

I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.

That's 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.

I honestly don't think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.

Edit: more mind bogglery!

The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)

Yeah. The last time I saw such hubris, it had to be shot in the chest as it tried to climb through a window to prevent the certification of the 2020 election.

The government (and the electorate) needs to do many things right to prevent Cheeto or a Cheeto Analogue from sending the US into abject totalitarian misery, and there's not a great deal of evidence that will happen.

I love revisiting comments like these every 4 years.

Are you saying "crassholes" or "assholes"

Then why are they even still there?

Sunk cost fallacy or misplaced hope are other options outside of Napoleon complex.

Indeed.

It's a very basic trade that it seems few understand. You MUST trade a bit of convenience to increase your security, or mistakes will happen.

I recognize you're probably not the original commenter, but this is the same flavor of strawman.

App is app. Other app is other app.

In one app, it was possible to send both SMS and encrypted messages. In the other, just SMS.

[–] dismalnow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I don't feel that it's me being intentionally dense here because, again, you've concocted an irrelevant scenario to argue your tenuous position - which I already agreed is possible, but irrelevant in this context.

Appreciate the heads up on session.
