A few years back, I had to compile a kernel with random patches to get the trackpad running on my razer blade (2018) working.

When it works, it’s magic. I got better power usage using powertop than I was getting on Windows. When it doesn’t, it’s not something someone with no tech experience can fix, sadly.

So you’re full of crap. Noted. Thanks.

Quit your whataboutism. I never said Android has no malware. But it’s just plain untrue to believe Apple devices are immune to malware because software is signed.

No need to be an ass about it, it’s just a fundamental truth.

Google “App Store Malware”. That’s not intense research. And stop being dishonest and moving the goalposts.

I can’t quantify it, and never claimed I could, but it’s documented in the press. Do your own research, I’m not here to hold your hand.

People have been secure with unlocked computers for decades now… And wait until you learn that malware can be signed, too.

I do use neovim myself too 😁

Please don’t hack me, mister FBI

I assume this was a joke 😁

You used the word hate.

No idea, but if I had the money, fuck, I’d take that swell-looking kitchen.

With all due respect, 🤮

It does not. I’m still not convinced using shitty feel-good arguments helps keep Trump and other shitheads worldwide out of power.

But I guess reality flies way above the head of the patronizing liberals.

Are you high? The result is absolutely not the same.

No need for unproductive name-calling. I didn’t disrespect you.

Reread my initial comment.

Edit: for clarity. What I meant is that saying “vote because people died so you could” is stupid. That’s meaningless Hollywood shit. It won’t convince anyone in disagreement.

Saying: “your son is Minority X and is in concrete, material danger if Y comes into power” successfully helped me convince someone to vote against fascism before, despite them not being fans of who they were voting for. That is an example that worked in my situation, and won’t apply to everyone.

We’re no longer reasoning in the realm of fairies and unicorns, but are talking about tangible things that people care about.

No, it is not. The reason the parent poster gave to vote at all costs is not logically sound and won’t convince anyone that isn’t already convinced.

And convincing others to keep dictators out of power is more efficient at keeping dictators out or power than just posing as morally right. You ain’t winning any vote alone, it takes majorities.

It makes you stop listening, maybe. But I know people that are definitely not commies or even socialists that are interested. All billionaires being scum is a popular talking point.

I respect your right to be uninterested, but you are on a ML memes community. There will be leftist memes.

A lot of soldiers died fighting for colonialism under British rule. That doesn’t make colonialism a good thing.

I hate this argument that’s just being circulated around but nobody ever stops to question.

If you want to make a case for voting for the lesser evil, there’s more convincing arguments. I have mine that apply to my own country and I’m sure you have yours.

Norway is capitalist, though.
