(Louis Rossman videos explaining how a customer was denied a refund for a “pre-order” and then they tried to coerce Louis to take down the video.)

Edit: typo

Snowden kinda got forced. Not even remotely the same.

For contacts I kinda get it.

You could have eye conditions that make you unsuitable to use contacts.

For glasses, its absolute bullshit.

An “incorrect” lens placed on the exterior of your face will not harm you (other than making you a bit dizzy).

You can just go online and buy them, they don’t care about “expired” prescriptions, they only need the numbers.

The solution is UBI

The problem isnt “robots replacing humans”

The problem is: WHERE THE FUCK IS OUR UBI?

Bro that is so gonna get HitchBot’ed

a photo was tweeted, showing that the robot had been stripped “beyond repair” and decapitated in Philadelphia. The robot was located by some people following its progress on its website. The head was never found.

Also, like… if you wanna replace human workers, fine, just give us the UBI.

In the c/Privacy community, people say e/OS isn’t as secure as Graphene OS. Although e/OS has better privacy compared to googled android, but apparantly worse security (late security patches).

I’m glad these exists, but remember that these only work as long as device manufacturers don’t lock the bootloaders.

Your country’s government could pass a law that requires bootloaders to be locked for “national security” reasons, and there’d probably not be much resistance since most people don’t even use custom roms. (Looking at you, USA and the autocratization)

Remember, this could happen in your country.

Its always “It Can’t Happen Here” until it does.

Can’t be any worse than the GDP of the 2025 fascist USA

With how volitile the USD is under ahem this administration, Bitcoin is probably the slightly less shittier option.

Lemmy usually has 1 to 5 bots randomly downvoting, its normal.

Sometime something totally apolitical like cat photos also get random 1-5 downvotes.
