Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don't need no allies.

I wonder if someone breaking it and collecting insurance money from it would end up being the preferred option over selling it.

Sounds like attitude of wage slaves that have been brainwashed into doing everything for the corpos and being fine with getting scrap. They live to work as opposed to work to live.

Can't change the slave mentality of some people. They were just born to be one.

I just want dumb appliances that stay dumb and don't need no ai or app shit.

And I want OS that just launch and download programs I click without account login requirements and ai shit trying to be my dumb shit buddy.

No eat your own eggs. You don't deserve European eggs.

I use the old.reddit.com/r/subreddit+subreddit1 bookmark approach to get a reddit feed without relying on reddit account for a subscription on desktop browser.

And on Android I use Stealth from F-Droid which is an app that lets you subscribe locally, save locally, and lets you have different profiles with different subscriptions. And it is account free with no way to log in.

Moving to primarily lurking is the route I've taken.

Another thing is virustotal is a good site for scanning programs before running it, since it'll scan it with every possible virus scanner available.

Windows defender and browsing the web with something ublock origin to block ads is sufficient. And just having virustotal scan a program before running it will protect you from most stuff.

If you do insist on a third party virus scanner then eset is one I used to use for years before sticking with defender. It is from Slovakia.

Windows defender is good enough if you are on Windows.

Tom from MySpace taking the money and enjoying life away from the limelight instead of seeking more wealth and power seems more along the lines of what most people fantasize about when it comes to what they'd do if they were rich. All the other rich fucks actively go out of their way to make as many people as miserable as possible.

It is interesting that forums had less people but felt very active and didn't need the millions of people that places like modern day social media do.

And I think big part of it is the presentation of material with threads that get bumped up when people comment and can keep going on for years.

In reddit type social media a thread is considered dead after like a day or less, so needing a new one even if it is the same topic to start up conversation again. Even more the case for one off comment type social media like mastodon.
