@emacsen @blindscribe easy way to do better: don't send death threats

ugh my mastodon doesn't work right

@neikocat i think maybe that falls under "better people"? in any case, it sucks that you have to deal with that.

@socjuswiz then just block them; problem solved.

o2 deutschland is such a deeply unethical company.

@augustus i enjoy reading and sometimes even befriending people who have contemptible ideologies.

oh look the ledger ios app is spyware. why does nobody in cryptocurrency give two fucks about privacy?

@neikocat i wear black all the time and nobody ever tells me what the fuck i should wear. maybe you need better people around you, or perhaps black leather boots

@Kalte@shelter.moe @Mr_NutterButter shhhhhhh

@hobson @black6 nobody has to sign those contracts.

@ang3l12 @meeper the defaults in the matrix server and web client do not support privacy, there is tons of phone home that has to be explicitly disabled. too many privacy-destroying footguns.

@surfingalot dfu restore makes more sense on the m1 devices. it shouldn't be necessary as often on t2 because the t2 has its own boot flash for bridgeOS separate from the SSD

@Mr_NutterButter i think it's fine if adult people freely choose to make lethal bad decisions that result in their own death. i actually think it's a good thing, and not a trivial one, but a great good.

700k dead americans from covid. about 200k of those probably wouldn't have died had they gotten vaccinated.

that's 200k dead morons, and some innocent children mixed in.

sucks about the 500k and the kids, but i am fine with having 200k fewer antivaxxers.

apple configurator 2, required to dfu restore t2/m1 mac firmware, is only available via the mac app store with an apple id. you cannot sysadmin a mac without giving apple a phone number to get an apple id.

@meeper the whole philosophy of gnu is basically "if we have done it this way for 20 years, no matter how bad it is, we will do it this way for all time"

i just had to dfu restore my 16" intel rMBP because i booted to recovery and did "erase mac" to wipe the drive and it shut off and no key combo or power button input could cause a non-black screen

@gaige make sure your tires are rated appropriately. if they fail or explode at high speed your vehicle can flip over.
