My sympathies. It was meant very much tongue in cheek, hence ;} (I’m sure there’s an emoji, but I don’t think I will :)

Well… there’s your problem. ;}

blackmail

Over my cold, dead hands. Fuck you and your shitty worldview,

Better be. Also, fuck chrome.

hopium.

wish for chineesium, spit in the other, see which fills up first.

Isn’t that just Trump stupidity? Why engage? Shit’s effective.

Good on ya!

Is there anything I need to know before I use the web installer?

Nope, it’s S tier, or was for me, just works. (but uses a chrome browser for ungodly access, on the flipside, you get network deny access to all your android apps, which is godly)

As you transition, I recommend a second user with sandboxed google and a primary without. Over time you’ll learn to do without (FDroid is your friend), but every now and then you’ll want something and there it is, put all the crap you thought you needed in that user, and over time you’ll find alternatives. A while later you’ll find yourself google free, but if you actually need maps, it’s a swipe, tap and password away.

Welcome freedom.

Nearly half of homeowners want to relocate

but find it hard because the real estate ‘industry’ has their hand out. Say goodbye to a significant percentage of value due to middlemen like Kin, coincidentally why you’re seeing this.

Uplift is fun

Yah, their fallacy is false dichotomy.

As an aussie

Same, but I thought Gallipoli which I consider a stupid mistake, all too often repeated (learn from history goddamit), was pleasantly surprised.

You should. Equal pay for equal work. How much is you boss working, getting paid? Their boss,…

Tobacco industry take two.

Yay! Capitalism!

More like I’ll spy on your people, you spy on mine (which is illegal / unpopular for me), swapsies.

First against the wall.

And it’s also insanely expensive to get the proper hardware to drive it at full resolution.

The shame being 8K (as 2x4K or even more) is awesome for VR headsets, but the only things capable of really driving them are stupidly expensive (thanks NVIDIA) or dual card setups (thanks Mobo producers for making that bad, and CPU manufacturers who insist consumers only need 20-24 PCIe lanes to artificially segment the market, sigh).

If you see me running, try to keep up…

How about 5000 $200 books written by their own AI (preferably for free, cheapest printing in existence) ?

It is a learnable skill, not easy, but doable with a healthy dash of hyperfixation. Expressions, micro-expressions, posture, tone etc. You can even end up better at it than a normie. Doesn’t make it fun though.
