Nice 😎

Well, I'm not using your country's VPN nodes any more! Rude.

I just signed myself with an ID app (Not the government one, fuck the state). The government has my data, not only because I have a passport, but because it's a strict mandate that every living human is recorded, so they can tax our existence from our very first breath to our last (some folk are still capitalism-coded so I'll specify that their rules, politics, taxes and frequent threats are very mentally taxing). So, given that they and at least a few Chinese-origin, potentially drop-shipping wholesalers have my legal alias and home address, I figure an ID verification company is the least of my worries.

The most we can do is choose when we comply.

Ooh that's an interesting stat! My most seeded movie is +1 (over 340 copies' worth), and for shows It's Always Sunny seasons take the top 3.

They have powerful little toofs! Have you seen a skull or mockup? Took me seeing a model in the vet's office to realise they have teeth way further in, loads of molars for the cromch

They blep out the pieces, and the energy is mostly harmless it seems. They love that spicy hay. Can confirm mine were fine with a 24v 0.5a current at the most (partner's laptop cable while charging) but generally they have tiny hearts and can easily die from it, in theory

Apple users won't know the difference - I know a lot of the time data and power transfer numbers don't matter to the average user, but I feel it's goddamn criminal to use USB C but artificially restrict (for their non Pro phones ofc) to 2.0 speeds, while charging the same for their products as other, far better equipped phones. I have similar beef with Samsung (not their data transfer, that's good) and their incessant restrictions on any cable that's not Samsung, offering like 60W of charging speed max. Meanwhile many other Androids are living it up with USB3.2, max 10Gbps, and >100W since 2024

I do my best. It is frustrating when an 'independent' storefront uses Amazon Logistics /FBA aha. And I can't easily avoid Amazon's primary source of income AWS, but I can reduce their e-commerce traffic at least. I love "Jeff Mart"

Can't they just say no and risk jail for treason or something? Better than killing innocent people for the state's superficial show of power and attempt at dominance.

Well this is awful. My policy is if it can't agree to my terms, it is rejected. If a company is kicking up a fuss because I want to ensure my primary address isn't forever compromised by spam, and doesn't work with aliases or duckduckgo privacy relays, then said company doesn't get my attention or business. Whatever the service you're trying to obtain from them, I can almost guarantee there's a more amicable alternative.

Why wait.

Whatever cables you want, buy Anker, go braided, and buy from their store and not Amazon. I don't know what kind of monkeys are breaking them and such. The only thing that ever killed my cables in 4+ years of use was a rabbit
