I use iPhone and I also tried a Pixel with Graphene OS.

Like the above commenter said it’s a trade off with convenience and for me it was too hard to do. Nothing wrong with the OS per se, but I just prefer the convenience of iPhone.

Another point is I’m a middle age software developer so not adverse to learning new things but I’ve got to the point that I want it easier. If I’m doing something I shouldn’t be doing then I’d have a device specific for that.

Let’s give two quick examples:

If I’m gonna be objectified why should I treat em any different.

It’s a bit of a messed up view to just think well if you’re going to do crappy stuff I might as well join you. That to me says you have no integrity. If someone robbed my house I wouldn’t feel justified to pay it forward to someone else you fucking idiot.

We all dream of finding a good person who genuinely cares who we can take care of properly. That kind of person doesn’t exist anymore (well except maybe the Christians).

I genuinely feel sad for you if you think good people don’t exist anymore, although I get how you could get that impression when you have to live with yourself. Although, I get that there are many decent religious people out here, I take issue with you saying that all Christian’s good. We can clearly see many American Christians are in fact deplorable people.

Get some hep dude. You seem to have a warped view of the world.

There are people you can talk to.

I read it all and it doesn’t make sense. Garfield really doesn’t fit most of the things said, like he isn’t online all the time, isn’t ruining America, etc.

I guess that makes it a shit post.

No problem. I’m sure you’re just as cool. 😎

Same. He moved to my country and then just fell off the map. Hoping he’s just enjoying life too much to be online.

This is going to sound odd but are you FlyingSquid?

Used to chat to that account sometimes then we stopped hearing from them and people got concerned.

We should nationalise them and don’t give them a penny. We can then fix this mess and then invest in our future.

I mean I don’t like these things but I’m sure people buy them to see who is at the door before answering or to answer when not home. Don’t believe people are buying them as security cameras.

They don’t even have a basic understanding of anything nor the curiosity to pursue something.

I’ve spoken to far too many people buying the anti immigration rhetoric, particularly asylum, and I’ll just simply ask them how do you apply for asylum here and not a fucking one can tell me basic information from our own government website.

When I say well you have to be in the country to make an application so we have created this so called boats crisis.

Then you can ask what would a solution to this be and it’s just vacant stares. Rather than hey we could let people apply from Europe and then the boats stop.

This is the same for the correlation between Brexit and us being unable to send back as may people and all other topics.

For the first time in my life I feel a glimmer of hope with The Green Party as they’re literally giving all the same talking points that this dumb ass pot head has been forcing down my mates throats for decades.

The other thing is it works with close friends if you push back or ask simple questions enough they actually begin to notice and then you can really feel some pride when your best mates will argue your talking points against others and you just sit and marvel at your creation and think I did that, whether I am right or wrong in my beliefs someone respected me enough to listen and think for themselves for once.

Those are not the same people though. Plenty of people support Trump in the UK and I don’t get it.

Im going to ask an LLM to write me a manifesto and pick a target.

Ok. Perhaps don’t make statements that are not known to be true then.

I just watched one of these four videos (top left) and they were happy to point out the positives and negatives of the printer.

Am I to believe I was incredibly lucky choosing that one?

I’m not sure what you’re getting at?

Company has a launch time for new products. YouTubers make videos about products, where they’re free to criticise those products. They have sponsors from different companies to support that video.

Are you claiming it sinister because they’re given a time when the product can be show so it’s fair to all creators?

And the fist one we’d still be the peasants not knights.

The gowns were rejected on inspection in September 2020 at the NHS warehousing facilities in Daventry, Northamptonshire, because their labels were invalid, and also signalled that they had not been certified as sterile, a life-protecting requirement. Cockerill ordered that the £122m be repaid by 15 October.

Literally in the article of this thread dude. You seemingly want to shill for a shady company that shook down the government through their own connections, but reading the damn article is a stretch too far.

To my understanding they were promptly told the delivery was not fit for purpose and asked the money be paid back. That money was not paid back and now they claim the company doesn’t have the money.

What would you call that if not fraud? They knowingly spent money that should have been returned. Sure we could agree that the fraud isn’t the fact the equipment wasn’t fit for purpose but then not returning the money is either fraud or theft, both of which can have custodial sentences. I’ve seen people arrested for stealing sandwiches.

Well perhaps we give them a choice. Pay the money back or take the remainder of their life in prison for fraud and refusing to give back the proceeds of crime.

Nah that’s Tony Blair. The death of the Labour Party, pulled us in to illegal war in Iraq and faced no consequences and now has come back to… checks notes… sell the NHS data to Larry Ellison or Oracle and facilitate the Gaza ceasefire (read stop Israel killing babies). Even Hamas have come out and said nah bro we don’t want Tony Blair.
