Yeah... The closer you look at the Harry Potter books, the more you wonder how we didn't realise JK Rowling was a bigot sooner

Honestly, yeah - in the same way that being "completely offline" is also a feature in this day and age.

The deliberate exclusion of a feature can itself be a feature, especially when desirable to the group your product is aimed at.

Grand. But unless its enforced, then we're back to Trump's little loophole of "who's gonna stop me?"

The US Supreme Court already went as far as to make him immune to the consequences of anything he does that could have even a pubic hair's chance of being labeled an official act - so genuinely, what actually stops him defying this order?

Yes, I do agree that you have a level of personal responsibility towards yourself - and that you owe it to yourself to make the best of the hand you're dealt.

But turning 18 doesn't suddenly absolve your parents of their failings. If they failed to teach Anon the basic life skills that would help them to be a proper member of society, then that is still their failure - even if it is a failure being further exacerbated by Anon themselves.

As @some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world said, your last paragraph negates itself...

A good parent would've forced Anon to learn those skills, and wouldn't just stand-by going "they're an adult now, not my problem" - nor would they coddle them and allow them to be a NEET. Both are forms of neglectful parenting, as I said its a lifetime job.

Being a parent is a life long job that you chose when you had a kid, so that latter take is wild.

But in any case, even if I agreed with you, do you not believe parents have a responsibility to teach their children basic life skills? You brought a kid into the world, you should at the very least teach it how to look after itself.

I imagine its a reverse survivor-ship bias - where the odd ones out who purposefully went for duck lips or had allergic reactions stick out like a sore thumb, and thus we don't notice all the people that got subtle jobs done on their lips.

Similar to getting teeth done. We easily notice the people who got shiny white freakishly straight "Turkey Teeth", but not the others who opted for more natural looking teeth replacements.

Twitter, which Musk bought in 2022 and merged with SpaceX earlier in February.

Hold on a second, SpaceX owns X/Twitter??

I thought Elon owned that privately, but the fact that he parasitised his monetary black hole of a purchase onto his most successful company really just shows how fucking stupid Musk actually is.

Though I really shouldn't be surprised as his other monetary black hole venture, xAI, is also parasitised onto SpaceX.

To be fair, real life Koalas are easily one of the dumbest animals going, with the actual smoothest brain of any mammal.

And the reason for that is their primary food source, Eucalyptus leaves, are so nutritionally poor that they can't afford the extra neurons.

Hell, they're so built on instinct that they'll only recognise Eucalyptus leaves if attached to branches.

So if any mammal was going to be depicted as non-anthro, they're a pretty good candidate for it.

For the last couple of builds, people have been reporting DISM breaking with error 0x800f0915 (essentially it can't find a valid repair source). Which they still haven't fixed despite it being known about.

Yeah true enough. Even if the data they've got was 100% accurate and easy to prove in court, they'd still be stuck having to pay out the arse for lawyers just to appear in court.

In today's episode of "Why I refuse to use Windows 11 on my personal machines" - Microsoft breaks personalisation, again, and still haven't fixed DISM.

Microsoft are doing a brilliant advertisement against their own operating system by breaking it almost every other update. Maybe if they had actual humans doing the job, or at least the QC, things wouldn't keep breaking on production.

Yeah, it would be nice to have an actual list so we're not reliant on their numbers alone. But unfortunately telling only half the story is something Proton seems to do quite a lot.

On the bright side, the actual privacy data for this was by Proton's own admission from Exodus, so while its probably not feasible for you to skim 65K apps on your own, you can at least see the data for specific VPN apps you might be worried about.
