I didn’t think you could give two candidates the same ranking?

Early on he would, but you are right I always suspected the account was more of a marketing firm of several people and the guy was just the public face of the account.

I don’t remember him being like that early on so if he is/was it probably influenced from user interactions and let’s be honest, people could be pretty toxic. I agree though about Flying Squid, they seem pretty cool.

FlyingSquid is the only one I recognize and I feel like he’s lemmys GallowBoob from reddit.

I don’t own the game nor gave I played it, but a friend was telling me the game has a lot of interactable things in-world so perhaps they meant you can actually turn off the alarm in-game.

They always rebrand features for marketing, you aren’t in a video chat you’re FaceTiming™. You aren’t talking with AI you’re talking with Apple Intelligence™.

That should show they don’t really care, they take a few big issues and focus that and leave the rest for next time they want a win.

Elections are coming up.

Microsoft certainly tries it’s best to keep you locked into their ecosystem by making it inconvenient but not impossible to leave though that’s not the real reason, it’s security. Businesses and especially governments are scared of nation state hackers contributing malicious code to open source products and falsely assume it’s safer to use closed source software because those incidents aren’t public. There’s so much great software out there I’d love to use and the first question I’m asked when I bring it up is can you prove China hasn’t contributed code?

From another comment in here it sounds like someone scammed them into going to Belarus where they didn’t have authorization to be and were arrested as criminals and criminals can be conscripts.

Doesn’t seem like the Russian government is doing this intentionally as much as they’re looking the other way since it benefits them. I wouldn’t be surprised if the scammer gets a kickback from whomever in the police is benefiting from sending the army conscripts.

I certainly was, it’s like you [redacted] didn’t want us to [redacted] but instead [redacted] you were saying about [redacted]. Get it?

That’s the idea, you’re so busy dealing with the water coming into the boat you can’t fix the leak.

I’m waiting for Gen Z to realize that they’ve grown up interconnected and have the ability to coordinate like no one ever could before and when they realize that I expect them to flip the monopoly board.

Disappointing.

Hopefully he disappeared because someone thinks he might make for a good replacement of someone in the future, but more likely they finally tortured him to death and destroyed his body so he can’t become a martyr.

More than likely it’s a bot farm hired by a public relations firm. Bot farms create bots every day and then assign them tasks to repost popular content and then reply using popular comments under different bots all so they can build up credibility and look like a real user. So then when they are put to a task you can have a single user welding the influence of hundreds or thousands to control the narrative.

Reddit is famously saturated in those bots and this place is likely no different but on a smaller scale made even easier by the instance system.

Same privacy policy authorizing them to harvest your data, but older cars have a more limited capability to collect data compared to newer cars filled with sensors, cameras, and phone integrations. Plus older cellular networks are defunct for older vehicles so they can’t just exfil it without you helping or bringing it in to physically access it.

On the graphic it said wifi 5 and the title said wifi 6 and the wifi and Bluetooth icons were swapped for the versions making it look sketchy, but I realized now it says wifi 5/2.4 referring to the frequency.

Out of curiosity what OS or pseudo OS are you running off of it?

We have a lot of enemies out that way and so do they, so we became allies and support them because it’s in our best interest. We keep supporting them because apparently they’ve held up whatever end of the bargain we request and for the US money is easy.
