Sigh… humans are predictable in the worst ways.

I mean, on some level, they’re not wrong. We get what we vote for. The best government money can buy…

This just in, many liberals are attempting to vote three times in coming election!

If you’re so hung up on this being difficult, just limit your scope. Don’t have a nationwide forum, have a Seattle forum, have a separate Chicago forum, etc. It doesn’t change the fact that this is the obvious drop in solution. The idea that Facebook has some special sauce that is otherwise unachievable… Just ridiculous…

Yeah 100%. So hey, if the cable bothers you more, then the audio port doesn’t really matter. But I just hate the battery management, so that’s where I stand.

I have no idea how old you are, if you’ve ever really used web forums, but they can be quite robust. This is obviously, clearly the technology to use. I don’t understand why you think there’s some limit, some ceiling on the number of users it can handle. The only limits are bandwidth and storage space… And with 70 million activists (as if everyone would be active on the forums, but whatever) with that many people, there will be donation funds for supplying the necessary bandwidth.

There’s just no problem here.

I gave you one, you ignored it. And it’s not even complicated, it’s a web site with a forum…

Well if your hell bent on handing meta control, then great, do it that way.

Nice, glad that worked! I hope everything turns out high quality!

Ok…

1. Are you suggesting that a Facebook group could handle that?

2. Web forums exist (the kind that were completely ubiquitous 25 years ago). They’re a great way to handle a large number of concurrent conversations.

You can still use robust hosting solutions that can handle a lot of traffic, but the advantage of controlling the site yourself is that if wordpress decides to take it down, you can just host it somewhere else and have it back up the same day.

Yeah, I actually also use a clip, an old pair of headphones came with a little wire clip and I just pulled it off and put it on these. It’s helpful for sure.

A personal website and email?

Welcome to technology?

That looks great. I’m using iems with a simple USBC adapter. It works well, but a neckband might be a more convenient option, I just never found one I liked.

I mean, for headphones.

I did buy the fairphone 6, and it does in fact work in the US (with some finagling).

The lack of a headphone port is a disappointment, but it’s fine as long as you get a GOOD dac. A shitty one will be the worst audio experience you’ll ever have. I use this: generic dac (sorry for the Amazon link, I’m sure they’re available other places.)

My everyday earbuds are essentially cheap studio monitors. I like these because the sound is great and if the cable breaks I can just replace the $10 cable and keep the high quality headphones. And there’s no battery to fuss with, you just plug them in and they work.

I mean obviously, I would only use .biz or .cash - something that says “that cocodapuf, he’s cash money”

So lie. Call in a copyright claim. It will just work.

You may have to pay a large copyright holder to send in the requests for you. But if you payed Sony or Paramount enough money, I bet they’d call in those requests.

What do you even mean?

We’re also still measuring rainfall. Data doesn’t become less valuable as technology progresses…

Hardware wallets are overpriced? That’s an interesting take.

Honestly if someone is investing in crypto, I should hope they also invest in a hardware wallet, it’s an important precaution. You don’t need a fancy one, just a secure one.

I think you’re right about that. Apple’s policies around user privacy and security from authorities are generally pretty good, certainly better than average for tech companies.

And… Apple has kind of always been monopolistic, and that hasn’t changed a bit.
