You poor thing… :(

'Twas not, friend.

“As an ardent supporter of the right-to-repair movement, FUCK. THAT.”

– Me and my spouse.

P.S. Fuck John Deere.

and electrocute himself with it.

Um, aktschully, you shocked yourself. If you electrocuted yourself, you would be dead.

WAIT. UNLESS YOU DID DIE. DOES THAT MAKE YOU A GHOST?!!! A GHOST THAT CAN TYPE ON KEYBOARDS!!! AMAZING!!!

You had me in the first part. Lmao.

loyalty free music

I would correct you, but technically paying royalties is, to some very loose degree, a declaration of loyalty, even if just to legal frameworks. Haha.

It is by no means just you. I really hate how everything has to be so flat and shadow-less nowadays. I’m not at the point of shaking my fist at clouds yet or anything, but I really miss skeuomorphism in general!

Just be aware their newer phones are hot shit. It’s the older phones that got the reputation for durability.

Most people, however, are not that careful about partitioning their accounts (myself included, frankly).

• ProtonVPN – VPN
• LibreWolf – Browser
  • uBlock Origin
  • Skip Redirect
  • NoScript
  • Decentraleyes
  • CookieAutoDelete
  • DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials (tbh I’m not sure if this isn’t redundant frankly what with the others I have installed; might get rid of it…)
• KeePassXC – Passwords
• FreeTube – YouTube

I’m the same here as I too use the Fediverse and LibreWolf, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves about the former: by the very nature of how the Fediverse works, it is honestly pretty damn terrible for the purposes of privacy. Unless I’m missing something, which mind you is certainly a possibility.

Exactly. That’s my situation too. I’ve found great furniture at Goodwills and (at the time) had the money to buy it, but I didn’t have the room in my car for it, nor did I know anyone who did.

Young people seem to prefer particle board style furniture.

As a young(-ish) person myself, I can assure you that it’s not that we prefer particle board, but rather that that’s the majority of what’s affordable out there. As I’m sure you’re probably aware, unless you go thrifting like you just said, real wood stuff in general, let alone furniture, is usually very expensive.

I feel like that’s kind of a case of circular reasoning though: we move away from it because it’s legacy, and it’s legacy because we’re moving away from it… Mind you, I’m no expert on VPNs; this is just something I thought I’d bring to attention here.

WOW. RUDE.

(Them, not you.)

Ohhhhh! I think I get it now!

So == means “equals” and is a declaration of the state of things, while = means "assigned the value of` and is a command toward a certain state of things. A description vs an action. An observation of a thing as opposed to effecting that thing.

Is that about right?

I think what I’m most confused about is I cannot for the life of me seem to wrap my head around the difference between “assignment” and “equality”. They seem exactly the same to me: when a variable is assigned a value, it’s equal to that value now.

Even if I were write the program

x = 20
print(x*2)

it would still print 40. Because x is equal to 20. Because it was assigned the value of 20.

Hell, I’ve even heard Dr. Severance say “equal to” in this context in earlier videos multiple times.

You didn’t say, “They are the shittiest privacy company ever.”

You said, “They are the shittiest company ever.”

If you want to specify a subset, use your words. That’s what they’re there for.

Didn’t they just switch to a nonprofit format, though?

Except they don’t support Port forwarding, which is kind of necessary if you torrent a lot and have shit upload speeds like me. Gotta squeeze out as much juice as I can get…
