“This might be your last chance in life to be surrounded by experts and hot people having discussions.”

The things that really matter.

When did we have them before this?

because that requires the people in charge facing hard truths about their own lifestyles.

When A party convinces people to stay home instead of voting for a presidential candidate they frequently also convince people to stay home instead of voting down-ballet.

I call bs. Mississippi isn’t even listed in the screenshot and on further inspection they aren’t even ranked in the bottom 5.

My guess is that their PR team is trying to drum up extra viewership after a Chief Producer and key staff members recently quit.

Back in 2020 when I took my class for my A+ cert I remember the instructor directing us to a Windows 10 debloating video tutorial to speed up a Win10 computer. If I recall correctly In that video the host point’s out that one of the Microsoft services that ran in the background of every standard distribution of Windows 10 was a keylogger. It was one of the many things that got permanently turned off in the in the tutorial.

I like the cut of his jib!

“Op didn’t say social media companies today are like tobacco companies today”

I don’t see how anybody wouldn’t infer it from the headline.

also, I read your source and they don’t go into any specific detail about the actions of the big tobacco companies with the exception of labeling cigarette packs as “light, ultra light, mild, etc…” I was around for that and nobody was under the impression that there was a safe cigarette. The remedy for that just changed from asking the cashier for a pack of “Camel lights” to a pack of “Camel blues.” -At this point in time the Tobacco industry was also already banned from most television and radio marketing, even bilboards ads were disappearing. If comparing social media companies to tobacco companies from 1999 is the standard we’re trying to establish here, then I would have expected RICO cases against Twitter, Facebook, and Google back around some time between 2010-2015 or earlier. -They are so much worse than that now.

I empathize with the immunocompromised but I think the children of the antivaxxer’s that survive are all bound to develop an incurable case of survival bias.

George W. Bush had the highest disapproval with 71% on 10/10/2008.*

Oh, cool! I thought Haiku had stalled out. I guess I was wrong.

So they can shoot you in the back as you’re running away. got it.

The current tobacco companies are no longer any more evil than any other business is my point. It’s a bad comparison for a modern day Social Media company, especially since so little of the population today was around for when Tobacco companies were at their worst.

The evil tobacco company is an outdated narrative. They were already regulated to hell 22 years ago when I started smoking and since then I’ve only ever seen the regulations increase now with the new apparent goal of outlawing nicotine. I can only speculate that people think this time we’re going to get prohibition right.

btw I quit smoking 7 years ago, and nicotine altogether 5 years ago.

It’s hard to remember but it was some version of Mandrake probably in the early 2000’s. At the time, they were one of the only distros (along with Red Hat) to offer an installation GUI. As a first time user I found partitioning a hard drive too complex to do on the command line.

I only used Mandrake for a short time before reverting to windows but it wasn’t long after that when I came back and then started using Debian. Since then I went back to Windows then to OpenSuSe, then Debian, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and now Pop!_OS.

I’m pretty sure Homeland Security was created with the sole intent of subverting the constitution from it’s inception.
