Funny thing is, I did neither of those things the last time I had need to install; the script handled it for me.

Allow me to expand my point. If you are using a computing device of any type, you are using the fruits of the labor of IBM, Xerox, and AT&t from the 1950s and 1960s. That means, by your argument, you are glorifying racism, homophobia, sexual assault and xenophobia among other things. You should definitely get off the internet.

I might suggest getting off the internet and finding a completely self-sufficient lifestyle then. I guarantee you there are people that you would disagree with in person, in every supply chain.

It's not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what's going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It's a safety measure.

Moved to pixel from HTC for the fast software updates. My next phone will likely be a pine phone or something similar; build quality on my last two pixels hasn't exactly been up to snuff.

My company went remote first in April 2020. Even if I left here, there's no way in hell I'm going back to an office.

I built a kit car, painted a penguin on the side, and forgot to include the telemetry module. Oops.

I think I'll travel somewhere else.

Sony lost me many years ago when they decided it was appropriate to include a PC rootkit on an audio CD. This only lends weight to that decision.

Garbage. I'm over 50 and I'm not worried.

I know for a fact I'll be working till the day I die.

Buck Rogers would be a cool one to reboot; plus it already has the " we're going to trash the world " backstory.

"duh,X" but hear me out. The signal to noise ratio on Twitter has always hovered around 50%. Ever since the upheaval, anyone with any sense has already left the platform. It's fully expected that on any topic, the toxic responses will be louder than reason.
