Why ever would the government want to protect that data? They're one of the main customers! They don't have to care about silly rules and laws when a third party gathered the data for them and they just have to pay for it.

Which totally explains how the amount of data exfiltrated was larger than the DNC's internet connection could have transmitted in the given period of time. Yep, nothing to see here folks, move along and blame those pesky Russians.

Frankly I don't care if my VPN is watching the traffic I route through them. What I care about is that the MPAA/RIAA and my ISP aren't.

This serves to prevent my ISP from shaping my traffic or throttling/blocking things they dislike, and makes sure I don't get hit with a 5 billion dollar lawsuit for downloading a 10 dollar movie.

It also makes switching my external IP address because of geoblocking bullshit far simpler.

Anything that needs proper security I'll do through a combination of TOR, TAILS, wardriving, etc. depending on what level of security I need. A VPN is basic security for basic needs.

"Neither do the mentally ill, those suffering from degenerative brain diseases, etc"

From all I've heard RMS has some moderate to serious mental illness to go with his genius. At what point do we admit that just because he's famous doesn't mean he's not fucked in the head, and cut him some slack for things he can't help.

And if someone claims he's not mentally ill, well then I'm Santa the magic space donkey delivering hee-haws to asteroid farmers.

How do you feel about other mech switch options? I honestly prefer Cherry-ish browns to other switches, including buckling spring stuff.

In which case the student can enjoy the wonders of detention and in school suspension.

I always enjoy the GNAA posters. They give me a little chuckle.

I've tried both the beyond and impossible burgers, and they're honestly not bad. They also taste similar to ground beef. You won't fool anyone into thinking it's a nice steak, but with the trimmings, it decently fakes a burger

Apologizing properly means admitting fault, something which they aren't allowe4d to do on behalf of their shareholders.

No, no, no, the drivers can have their own class action, and between the two we can hit doordash for double damages to make it properly punitive.

I maintain that it's not possible to play a game from EA, only to stick your lips up to their asshole while they shit it into you.

I find I swear more with Linux, BUT, whatever problem I have in Linux I can almost always find an answer to with some time and work. With Windows I'm often just shit out of luck.

No, they are technical definitions from the same era that describe differing degrees of the same thing, said being mental retardation. While there are older definitions for idiot, they were not technical definitions. Moron was a word specifically created having a technical definition.

"Idiots.—Those so defective that the mental development never exceeds that or a normal child of about two years.
Imbeciles.—Those whose development is higher than that of an idiot, but whose intelligence does not exceed that of a normal child of about seven years.
Morons.—Those whose mental development is above that of an imbecile, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about twelve years.
— Edmund Burke Huey, Backward and Feeble-Minded Children, 1912"

Well, due to a combination of security through obscurity, its absurdly minuscule userbase, and general batshittery, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that TempleOS is probably more secure than any of the big players. I doubt a single piece of malware exists for it, unless you're going to count the OS itself as malware, in which case there's a certain other malware OS called Windows 10 that is probably less secure.

2TB? That's cute. Maybe you can use that to backup Gamgam's Facebook machine from 2005.
