By this logic, no businesses should rely on the internet, roads, electricity, running water, GPS, or phones. It is short sighted building stuff on top of brand new untested tech, but everything was untested at one point.

Where's any logic here? You're directly comparing untested technology to reliable public utilities.

Why does it have to be just like your sister?

It seems like you're expressing something about Lemmygrad that isn't enthusiastic and unconditional endorsement. Clearly you are a reactionary alt-right racist Nazi, and probably (definitely) a CIA plant.

American Kit Kats are made by the Hershey company and no money goes to Nestlé.

Explanation:
Kit Kat used to be a Rowntree's product, and Hershey bought the right to make the candy in the U.S. in perpetuity back in 1970. When Nestlé bought Rowtree's, they had to abide by the contract to license out the Kit Kat for no royalties, because the only condition of the agreement is that Hershey loses the license if the company ever gets sold. And since selling the Kit Kat bar is so valuable, buying Hershey for what it's currently worth would mean instantly losing a large amount of Hershey's value, so even when they've tried to find a buyer, nobody will buy the company—even Nestlé refused to buy Hershey in 2002.

What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You'll get a desktop that appears normal but can't be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim's mouse the wrong way around if they're gullible and they'll think the mouse messed everything up,

It's pretty funny how they're trying to characterize a Linux distro as independence from Western tech. The closest we've gotten to that idea is TempleOS, not a Linux distro with spyware baked into it.

I've already run into multiple people on Lemmy who do what I call the Reddit Special:

1. See an opinion you don't like
2. Intentionally misinterpret the point to mean something else and attack that
3. Support your opinion by arguing backwards from your conclusion
4. Ignore all counterarguments when possible, return to step 2 when not
5. Try to "win" with pithy mic-drop bon mots at the end of your comment
6. Mask upset feelings by trotting out overly slangy 2am Chili style dismissals

For example a conversation I have actually had more than once on Reddit:

Person 1 - "I hate the designated hitter in baseball, it was more fun before, without it"
Person 2 - "Why are you in love with the old days so much? Do you want segregation back too?"
Person 1 - "Are you crazy? I just like it when pitchers bat"
Person 2 - "Lol. Clearly you have issues with being called out on your bigotry"
Person 1 - "You're not listening, I said I like baseball better when pitchers bat"
Persot 2 - "lmaoooo I don't listen to racists"

People think Google is in the business of providing services. They aren't. They're in the business of data collection and their services exist to facilitate that. Useful data dries up, service shuts down, every time. It sounds harsh but people who still use Google services are just setting themselves up to get fucked over.
