Mac users gained heavily in 2020 and then in 2021 it was Linux and Chrome OS.

DaemonFC

They continue pushing this turd like people like it.

schestowitz-TR2

its spokesperson blamed a "bunch of wankers"

DaemonFC

So the ad blitz hasn't dried up completely.

DaemonFC

PornHub is easily one of the most trafficked sites on the entire internet, and they own most of the other big names in porn too.

It's fair to say they get a good cross-sample of Web users regardless.

DaemonFC

The credit card networks still haven't let them back in.

They still want a routing number to take "Premium" membership out of your bank account directly.

It wasn't even all of the credit card networks that cut them off.

I mean, it makes sense if you think about it. MindGeek takes in billions of dollars. The interchange fees on that alone must be tens of millions.

DaemonFC

DaemonFC

So they just cut out the cards completely.

DaemonFC

The problem is if you give your routing number to them and they get "hacked", then you are a potential victim of fraud due to lists of routing numbers leaking.

Ariadne

it is possible to sign your kernels, but its a pain in the ass

schestowitz__[TR]

it also does not tackle the real-world threats

Ariadne

in Alpine 3.15, it will ask you if you want to set up secure boot, and if so, it will set up everything to automatically sign the kernels, and enroll the key into secure boot

schestowitz__[TR]

like packages dot microsoft dot com

schestowitz__[TR]

in your repos list

Ariadne

but you need to remove microsoft's key from your secure boot

Ariadne

to make it actually secure

Ariadne

otherwise an "evil maid" can just drop a fedora USB key in

since fedora's bootloader is signed with microsoft's key

The courts have effectively ruled that porn is speech.

Dec 29 02:21

DaemonFC

If it's obscenity, then copyrights don't apply to it and nobody can be sued for sharing it.

Dec 29 02:21

DaemonFC

And courts have repeatedly declared that copyrights do apply to porn.

Dec 29 02:21

DaemonFC

On the other hand, porn is a gigantic drain to the American economy.

Dec 29 02:22

DaemonFC

Mindgeek is not an American company and they've managed to destroy most of the other megaporn companies.

Dec 29 02:22

DaemonFC

So it represents a gigantic outflow of cash into.....Canada.

Dec 29 02:23

DaemonFC

This raises an interesting legal problem regarding NAFTA/USMCA.

Dec 29 02:23

DaemonFC

Under the original NAFTA, Canada would be well within their rights to sue the United States government in an arbitration scheme stacked with corporate lawyers for the lost revenue to their pornography companies and their subsidiaries.

Dec 29 02:24

DaemonFC

But under the USMCA, they can't.

Dec 29 02:24

DaemonFC

The USMCA only allows investor state disputes if they were already in process under NAFTA.

Dec 29 02:25

DaemonFC

So if the US Department of State declared that banks would be sanctioned if they allowed payment to PornHub, Canada couldn't really do much and would just lose the revenue.

Dec 29 02:26

DaemonFC

Interestingly, the main sticking point between the US and Canada under Legacy NAFTA investor state disputes is the issue of "soft wood". ;)

Dec 29 02:26

Dec 29 02:26

All joking aside, there's an interesting alliance between the far left and the far right, ostensibly anyway (although they probably slink off and masturbate too, I'm guessing...) that says that porn is smut and a sin on the right and on the left it victimizes #allwomen even though nobody actually stuck a microphone in front of all women to get the opinion of all women, or even just a statistical random sampling controlling for an error margin,

Dec 29 02:29

DaemonFC

of say......10,000 women or so.

Dec 29 02:29

DaemonFC

And what about men? They get paid less!

Dec 29 02:30

DaemonFC

Except the one that owns the company....

Dec 29 02:30

DaemonFC

It turns out that men are willing to accept lower pay because there's a lot more demand for them to get on scene in the first place, although I don't know why. I've heard it's awkward and goes on for hours, and some of them have to take Viagra to get through it, and it only pays a couple of hundred dollars even though you have to be there all day.

Dec 29 02:32

Sounds like it's more exploitative to men.

Optometrists are at high risk of talking themselves out of a job. In Canada, it's not uncommon for people to skip the optometrist completely and get an eyeglass prescription for about $20 by going to someone who has a device that just goes "1 or 2, 1 or 2,..." until you have your eyeglass prescription. Optometrists don't want anyone to know that there's absolutely no black magic involved in figuring out what your eyeglass prescription is. They

sell computer software and a USB device from China that can figure it out.

schestowitz-TR2, There's a bumper sticker I like.

Dec 29 04:31

DaemonFC

"Keep honking, I'm reloading."

Dec 29 04:31

DaemonFC

If the optometrists don't stop fighting us for our eyeglass prescriptions, pretty soon nobody will even go to them for those.

Dec 29 04:33

DaemonFC

We'll just have people who have a simple storefront and a machine from China.

75% of us need eyeglasses and cannot afford "luxury" brands. What are those, even? Someone's name on a pair of plastic.

Dec 29 04:35

DaemonFC

It's hilarious too, because the cheap online stores have cloned pretty much all the popular designs.

Dec 29 04:35

DaemonFC

They don't copy them exactly, but absolutely nobody is going to notice or care that you didn't get brand name frames.

That's exactly what Consumerism is though. It's people spending money they don't have to impress people who don't care.

"The Biden administration announced that Americans with health insurance can get their at-home COVID-19 tests reimbursed."

DaemonFC

I don't see why the insurance companies would fight him on this. I don't know why they weren't just doing this to begin with.

DaemonFC

It costs them over $150 to send one COVID test out to a lab.

DaemonFC

A COVID quick test retails for about $20.

DaemonFC

Of course, I intend to stay clear of that one that requires a smartphone.

Dec 29 04:39

DaemonFC

I told the pharmacist "Thanks, but no thanks.".

Dec 29 04:39

DaemonFC

That way instead of a line turning red for COVID and blue for not COVID or something, it sends the data off to the company, and then back down to the government.

schestowitz-TR2, You know, if all the doctor is going to do is tell me to watch my salt and run a few quick tests, I don't see how I'd be worse off using these at-home testing kits that are $30 apiece.

Dec 29 05:05

DaemonFC

I can figure out if my A1C number is too high and if I might need to go to the doctor from there.

Dec 29 05:05

DaemonFC

They like to monopolize routine stuff that's not rocket science so they can stick you with a bill for a thousand dollars just to tell you you're fine.

Dec 29 05:06

DaemonFC

And then one day, if you're not fine, well, you get healthcare if you can afford to go that route.

Dec 29 05:06

Or you can die a hideous death.

Dec 29 12:28

DaemonFC

So Illinois is even more gerrymandered than Indiana is, because the Democrats had control of the process in fewer states, and depended on it for maximum chance of a House majority.

Dec 29 12:28

DaemonFC

The minority party in the House doesn't do very much, so you may as well go for broke if you're in a weaker position during redistricting.

Dec 29 12:29

DaemonFC

It would have been possible to creat a map for Indiana that was fair and gave the Republicans an 85% chance of holding all 11 House districts.

Dec 29 12:30

DaemonFC

They chose to leave two Democrats in Congress for sure, around NWI and Indianapolis.

Dec 29 12:31

DaemonFC

So Stallman is very wrong.

Dec 29 12:31

The Democrats have drawn up the least democratic and the most racist maps in the country.

Maybe they should quit fucking.

This is fucking stupid. Stallman posts a lot of this nonsense and it's just so easy to ridicule.

Michael Jackson, one of his songs said if you can't feed your baby, then don't have a baby.

Dec 29 12:35

DaemonFC

I mean, you know, it wasn't bad advice.

Dec 29 12:35

DaemonFC

If you want to change the government's policy on welfare, then quit having children. Everyone who can't afford children should stop having them until the government freaks out and realizes there's no population growth and it's not coming back until they do something about the poverty.

schestowitz-TR2, Mom was talking about the price of soda recently.

Dec 29 12:39

DaemonFC

I told her it was horrible and that I stopped drinking it when it was still $7.47 for a 24 pack, but the last time I bothered to look, it was $8.98 late last year.

Dec 29 12:40

DaemonFC

She told me it's $10.48 now.

If they want the bigwigs to know what the drivers go through, then they should reset their bank account to $0, load up all of their credit cards, put them months behind with the landlord (and move them into the ghetto), and replace their BMW with a clapped out old rustbucket with no brakes, and force them to do deliveries full time with their kids in the back seat because they can't afford child care, and for that privilege, they get a 1099 and

schestowitz-TR2, The logical thing to do in a market economy with these online eyeglass stores is for the physical stores to lower their prices and expand their offerings so people don't walk off with their prescriptions, figure out a way to get their PD value, and despise going to the optometrist.

Dec 29 21:55

DaemonFC

Then they can get the marketshare back because the price difference is no longer worth the hassle and guesswork, and they can raise prices again later when the online stores give up.

Dec 29 21:55

DaemonFC

It's what I would do.

Dec 29 21:55

DaemonFC

But instead of enduring a few years of low prices to drive under the competitors, they keep prices high and lobby politicians to make online eyeglasses illegal.

DaemonFC

The American government is so corrupt that if it wasn't already on the Federal Register, the eyeglass prescription rule could never be done today.
