Yeah, fuck that guy.

Technically he isn't the CEO anymore. Doesn't mean he isn't still a cunt.

I have, and that didn't seem to work. The Gitlab issue that the other user posted seems to be highly relevant because all of the users reporting an issue have the same phone that I do.

No, I am not. I'm based in the US. I was wondering if it could be VPN related, but I haven't connected to a node anywhere outside of the US in months. My phones language is set to English (US) with no other languages selected, and I have explicitly set F-Droid's language to English (US) in my phone's configuration as well.

I just now opened F-Droid after a reboot and without being connected to a VPN and began scrolling through latest and quickly found a random assortment of apps displaying the same way. None of them are installed though.

I knew exactly what book the image was from as soon as I saw it, but could not for the life of me remember the name. Thanks.

Exactly!

I have seen so many people say the 3.5mm port takes up room, and it is such a crock of shit. The space it takes up is practically non existent and it costs almost nothing implement.

Like literally if I'm making a custom circuit board, or even bread boarding, with a microcontroller of all the IO currently on phones a 3.5mm jack is probably the cheapest and easiest thing to implement. It's a hell of a lot less of both than say a finger print scanner and I don't see anyone calling for those to be removed despite the fact that many people don't use that feature.

For whatever it's worth I have been using a Fairphone 5 in the US for over a year on T-Mobile.

I live in the US. I blame 40% of the people at a minimum, and likely more than that.

Indeed. I usually use 7-zip's built in tool to do it when I need to.

Well, do you want to be right or do you want things to change for the better?

I don't think anyone should have to engage with these people if they don't want to, but something like 40%+ of the population are more or less OK with the way things are going. Humiliating someone, even if they had it coming and it's entirely justified, tends to make them very defensive and double down on their position.

Is it fair? No. I hate it. They do not deserve grace in a lot of cases in my opinion, but when dealing with people and human nature I often find I have to decide between being right or being constructive. I am no saint. If the stakes only really involve myself, I'm probably more inclined to be a self-righteous sanctimonious jack wagon more often than not, but at these scales I think we need to be realistic. Acknowledge that it's not fair we have to do this work, and then do it anyway.

Why doesn't she have to ask me out? That doesn't seem very equitable.

You are allowed to record content like a broadcast though, which makes me wonder if that means that ripping is illegal, but piping it through a capture card isn't?

Technically I'm half right and half wrong (I think). It's not illegal to backup media that one owns, but it is illegal to break DRM/copy protection which is required to rip most physical media these days.

Suffice to say the legality of it is a cluster fuck, but the morality, in my opinion, is pretty clear. Fuck the corpos.

But it is legal in the country he lives in as well as the country YouTube is headquartered in.

That just sounds like a worse station wagon. Which, being the owner of a Subaru Outback station wagon, I can confirm.

You don't sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.

Did it in my mid 20s before it was all the rage. Couldn't be happier.

It wasn't Bowser, it was the finance guys that were placed at the head of the company after Satoru Iwata's death.

Jeff is located in St. Louis Missouri unfortunately.
