It also somewhat says they know the new games are nowhere near as good as the good ol’ ones, which is one of the big reasons to pirate older stuff.

Wait, serving a legal notice can be made transitive to people not part of the legal system?

Like, I could just sue someone the other end of the country and then arrange things so that the notice is delegated to my landlord if (small if) they’re being a jerk?

Poor grandma, receiving a visit from the Yakuza for Xmas…

Shame on Nintendo. As per usual.

Well, on my phone that back in stock could only do up to Android 10, Lineage gives me Android 11 (maybe 12, haven’t checked) so it’s still a serious win.

Now, if you insist that I shall have an up-to-date device from the official manufacturer with all the bloatware, same planned obsolescence and zero control, or even worse a 4× overpriced Pixel, maybe you are so assured of this superiority that you’d be willing to fund it?

Security-wise you’re better off using whatever OS comes with your device

So, Android 9 / 10?

I’m sure not as heck going to spend zillions on a new phone (or a hard-to-find used one) when the one I have still works perfectly.

(IIRC) it’s even worse than stock because you can’t lock the bootloader after installation.

That’s a problem with the phone manufacturer, not with Lineage.

An used Pixel, assuming I can find one in my country, still costs four (4) times what I need to shell out for a in-market Lineage compatible phone.

Theoretical security is cute, but it has to be adjusted to practical feasibility. The most secure computer in the world is useless to you if you can’t boot it up.

Nothing too hypothetical nor an “insane” level of work. Didn’t Israel do just that with some beepers to blow up children?

that is not required to access the internet

Tell that to the 12345678x captchas and “unblock challenge” notices I get whenever I try to browse common sites on the internet!

Feel free to not condonde the murder of an innocent all you want, but that’s another case, not this one.

You’re arguing that people don’t have free will

[citation needed]

I’m arguing that free will has limits in reality. Blaming people for stuff that is literally above their paygrade (not to mention designed and programmed against them) is some ruling-class schmuck.

Where is mke_geek when I need some (un)fun meme bot responses?

Protip: knowing how to type while holding SHIFT does not make you CORRECT.

But those who don’t have a lot of money, choosing alcohol over food – then complain about not having enough food – that’s on them.

Even when, by making the world hell, you nudge, inspire or promote them to turn to alcohol?

Are you saying people are not responsible for influencing or coercing other people or their environment?

So if I mug three people, scam other five, misplace three livers to be transplanted to children, and share my Netflix password, I’m innocent.

Excellent! I’ll let the judge know your opinion on those matters when I’m asked.

Finally, some American (I assume here he is) shows they know how to use a gun!

Now, where was he for the Olympics…

(hopefully, training for this masterful moment)

Escusé moi, nothing says all of humanity has to be on a contiguous spectrum when it comes to respect.

For one, farm animals do you no evil, and you don’t owe them any authority, so they “start” with a higher default respect than what some humans can ever earn with their actions.

You mean for fucks sale (or, well, they do)

How could I? Even saying “hello world” in your format is like, what, 35 MB?

Yeah, that’s, like, incredibly wasteful. 720p is fine. Where are the 540p ripcorders at?
