the issue is that even British flag shaggers have nothing on the crazy level muricans take this to.

But that's not saying I disagree with you.

except governments change a lot more than flags do.

it's post-ww2, cold war-era creepy shit. Need to make soldiers and weed out the conspirators.

that's a LOT of preamble for someone who hasn't cheated on their wife.

I'm with you. I've replaced all the torx screws on my Dell with Philips head screws because fuck you Dell. (all the screws inside were already Philips)

tubes: sure, that part was wrong. But "the internet being a series of tubes" is basically right, and things like DDOS attacks can 'clog the tubes'. He understood the internet better than most people!

As for the rest, I think you've completely misunderstood what I wrote. I purposefully didn't include an analogy like "rebuild an engine", but rather specifically chose to refer to the most basic, simple tasks outside of "turn on and go".

Like using a keyboard for typing. The kind laptops have, for example.

careful, calling someone a bot will get you banned here, apparently. 🤷‍♂️

(see the other fork in this thread)

THAT'S HIS OPINION. Don't attack someone else's beliefs, bro.

Lemmy is still so starved for content that stories get posted where they shouldn't, and submissions are still dominated by a handful of accounts.

(you're right)

it's a world-turvy topsy!

it's definitely the case 25-50+ years ago. Unsure about 0-25 years ago though.

tubes: heh, as hilarious as he was, he wasn't entirely wrong. It basically is.

tech: it's coming full circle, with studies showing the latest generation are increasingly tech illiterate. Like how people stopped knowing how to change their own tires on their cars; people use tech, but have no idea about how the magic box works or do anything if it glitches. Also, bad typing is becoming a thing again.

(Vaguely related, I read a review on a budget phone yesterday that gave it 1 star because typing SMSes was too slow and difficult. It used the old Nokia numberpad, and they'd never dealt with one before.)

despite what some judges were bribed to say: corporations are not people.

Sorry, bub.

so well educated, you can't identify a joke. Nicely representing the right! 👍

no, no, but don't you see?! the nazis are the SOCIALIST workers party, therefore they must be lefties!

And the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is -super- democratic!

you're just falling for those lies! 😆
