Funny thing is, I did neither of those things the last time I had need to install; the script handled it for me.

Pretty slim pickings there, but I can't especially disagree. The point of the question really was to allow the poster to explain a very specific implication they made.

Yep. And I'm not against going to basic lynx when needed. But the person I responded to made a very specific implication, and I'd like their opinion.

Allow me to expand my point. If you are using a computing device of any type, you are using the fruits of the labor of IBM, Xerox, and AT&t from the 1950s and 1960s. That means, by your argument, you are glorifying racism, homophobia, sexual assault and xenophobia among other things. You should definitely get off the internet.

What do non-trumpets but still privacy focused people in your circles use?

[–] freewheel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I might suggest getting off the internet and finding a completely self-sufficient lifestyle then. I guarantee you there are people that you would disagree with in person, in every supply chain.

It's not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what's going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It's a safety measure.

Just a thought... How likely are you to grow the community when six of the top 10 active posts right now are in some way complaints about Lemmy? In other words, is this a pro-vegan community or is this an anti-Lemmy community?

For the record, I am perfectly happy to get my vegan content elsewhere- ban away.

This concept is just as dangerous as the right wing claiming LHC will open black holes. There's an implication here that just as soon as LHC was turned on it suddenly gathered information about every unknown Force, particle, and energy in the universe.

The Large hadron collider took 4 years to confirm the higgs boson; as of today it is only on its third data collection run. LHC is hardly a silver bullet.

Things must be getting really bad if the president needs a second job....
