Quick sidebar, I’m just some random dude reading this thread but thanks for introducing me to Dadvocate. She rules, she’s now my “Pedro Pascal,” goals if you will, gives me hope lmao.

SO CAN WE NOW ADMIT SELLING DATA IS BAD?

Ehhhh no.

I can get behind “ban spying on me.”

I can even get behind “ban social media, especially the kind that makes you sell yourself, though pseudononymous link aggregators are less the issue.”

But “no more torrenting at work, no more reading digitally while pooping, no more encrypted chats, now have to carry a book, a camera, an mp3 player, my GBC, and a dumb phone, just to make up for the phone?”

No.

If they added yandex they can be GAYFAM.

85° outside. It was 85° outside where I am too, but the thermometer inside said 90°.

Our tape didn’t melt though…

They’re basically just poo-pooing the ideas of privacy and security, no more than “the government and corporations need access to everything you do because someone somewhere is doing bad things.”

It’s the same idea as “encryption bad because terrorists,” and “gun company bad because murders,” some people blame the people doing the bad thing, and some people blame the tool used or who created it.

If you’re looking to have an argument about regulations, I believe you’ll find I’m a poor choice. I support more relaxed regulations on the guns themselves than you likely do, much less regulating things that can be used to make guns. Suppressors should be seen as safety equipment rather than locked behind an antiquated tax, SBR/SBS should be removed from that same tax system not because of safety but simply because the NFA was bad and pointless from the start, people between the age of 18 and 21 still deserve their rights (OR we need to raise the age of legal adulthood to 21, including military service and trying people as an adult, but the mix-matched mess is nonsense), there’s more but that’s enough controversial opinions on regulation to make my point:

Tl;dr I don’t support regulation of much, including any of that stuff you said. Fact still remains that printing a chairmanwon g19 is very, very possible. I won’t even bring up how much easier it is than learning how to use a lathe nor how much cheaper it is to buy an ender3 than a CNC mill.

Depends. He used a printed glock, not an FGC2.0. The FGC uses parts like you describe but printed glocks just take glock parts.

That said, it’s still fairly trivial to acquire those glock parts anonymously.

Ngl I was hoping for The Glong lmao, close though!

Yeah, cute things like an unregistered glock 19 lower printed at a 45 degree angle out of pla+ you can attach to a trigger and rails via pins, rails that themselves connect to a glock 19 upper?

Hmmm…

“But I don’t want to learn how to set things up, I just want it to work, now how do I set up this windows pc?”

Yup! And of course uninstall things, too!

Beginner’s Guide to Bash in Terminal

And this is one of the videos that really helped me get comfortable with the CLI, there’s others too, but this was the first one I recognized from the thumbnail.

Tbh I may watch a few myself, see if there’s any tips I’ve forgotten or hadn’t seen in the past from new vids.

Also available,

dnf search [package name]

flatpak search [package name]

And just wait until you learn about pwd, cd, ls, man, the list goes on!

And then aliasing, I have a combo of cd and ls I aliased to cdls, it’s glorious, and I’m still a beginner too!

Dude go to youtube and search “bash basics” and “linux cli basics” and watch a couple of them, and follow along in your terminal like you’re taking a class. Be careful with sudo or su but otherwise you should be fine! Welcome to the beginning of a new and wonderful journey!

Plus, this was so long ago that even if it was digital, at best it could have chiptuned its way through the opening to Final Countdown.

GBC almost exclusively these days, I just can’t devote the time to things like Morrowind anymore as much as I want to. I do want to hack my OG Xbox and run Voodoo Vince, Psychonauts, and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy again, but then that only brings me up to like 2003.

All it can say is that there was vaping related chemicals detected in the bathroom.

Bring in a fog machine (mostly same ingredients) and see if machines can have aneurisms.

Tbh I’d be trying to avoid eye contact so this may kinda work by making them seem unstable and insane. I’d remember them as crazy guys but wouldn’t be able to identify them without their outfit.

Seeing as this was posted in c/privacy, I believe the intent was rather to say “actually that whole ‘nothing to hide nothing to fear’ premise government espionage programs enjoy thrusting on their citizens is patently bullshit, and they know it, as despite saying it to you while spying on you they make it illegal to spy on them.”

Well unfortunately, call me when they have grapheneOS. The F0 honestly seems perfect just for that and it looks like it can do so much more!
