People in Germany have very high standards. If a train that comes once an hour is 20 min late it’s considered unreliable. To be fair we can expect better though.

But As someone who has lived in the USA in the past but now lives in Germany, Germany feels so much better transport wise.

Based on perspective everywhere or nowhere.

Compared to Dutch trains nowhere. Compared to the nothingness in the USA everywhere.

That’s extremely unrealistic.

In order for data recovery to cost billions and to only recover a few kB you would need to be looking at a HDD that was ground to course dust.

Billions is a dedicated lab with hundreds of staff with the best dedicated equipment humanity can create.

Buying books and totems and things would not be scams. You give money and get a thing. Same as a Christian buying a Christian book or cross or angel statue.

Prayers and magic in exchange for money are you giving money for nothing. Hallelujah would be in the money for nothing category.

And the easy retort to that is that they don’t apply Chinese censorship globally. Only in China. Regional laws only apply regionally.

You do you. But I challenge you to go and look at gun prices at your local Walmart in the USA. Not every guy you buy has to be an FN-Scar 17 in pricing.

Turn around a look at how much it costs to defend yourself criminally in the USA.

Guns are about $200 at Walmart.

Robust criminal defense is about 30-40 hours.

Also good luck selling a gun you don’t have in your possession. Try going to a gun shop and saying “give me the cash now, I promise to give you the gun when the police give it back to me”

You might legally have that right but practically… good luck.

We do agree that you should be responsible for your actions. But looking at the meme here nothing wrong was done.

I mean they already own the guns. They can’t even sell them to hire a lawyer because they were taken.

If you can’t see the difference between buying one gun every x months and paying a lawyer 4 to 5 figures all in one go that’s on you.

Time is linear and you can’t sell what was taken from you. 🤷‍♀️

I mean you can buy a gun for 200 USD at Walmart. Lawyers cost 200 USD per hour.

It does not. No normal Linux distro installs updates without user consent. You can turn that feature on though if you like.

If you don’t care about boot chain attacks it isn’t bad at all.

If you do care about boot chain attacks it’s bad because it allows someone to replace things like the efi binaries, grub, or your kernel with backdoor-ed versions and there would be no way to detect this from the running system.

Secure boot checks for this stuff. You can read more here:

Hello! I am looking for a drunken slug invite. While I have experience with private torrent communities, the usenet is new and exciting to me.

If anyone could help I would appreciate it.
