The fuck all cops? Heck ya. The same people who say this run screaming for help to cops as soon as shit goes sideways. Makes me laugh.

You appear to have issues Mr. Fuck all cops. And you amuse me.

You know what will happen? I do. Apple will leave Europe

Gaza gonna be gone permanently before this is over.

It is infact Graphics Interchange format. Not Jirafics Interchange format.

I know the creator pronounces it Jif, but there are lots of people in the world who pronounce things wrong.

I offer up “niche”. It’s actually not nitch no matter how many people say it like that.

Lookit all the nerds I triggered. Popcorn time!

Love app stores pay to play and subscription models? Coming soon to every platform as fast as they can shove it down your throat.

Oh a homophobe. What a novel approach. Nobody has though of that before.

Go to any YouTube reviewer that’s paid by the click. There you go.

Someone who relies on sensationalism to drive clicks to his business is not trustworthy. Believe what you want.

Who cares what some doofus YouTuber thinks?

It’s also being made into a news item now instead of just a sale between nations. They’re definitely using this as a non subtle warning to China.

Since some easily ruffled $0.50 mod erased my post let me explain. Anytime someone does something China doesn’t like they immediately cry racism about it.

It’s all bullshit and we all know it.

It’s long past time for the world to stop putting up with China’s crap and let them know they’ll be entirely cut off from the world if they can’t learn to play nice.

Oh look, I’m being brigaded by downvote bots, it’s just so pathetic.

It’s nice that it’s out in the open now. Let’s China know it’s place and that everyone is tired of their shit.

Look up Japanese Kintsubi - Repairing with gold.

It’s never going to be the same as before it was chipped, so accept that and make it better by making the damage part of the story beautifully.

Yup, they did a great job at driving away people who cared. Now they’re left with shitposters and spammers. The downside is they’ll still make a killing selling the free content everyone gave them to train AI models. But they’ll get no more from me.

I don’t want to wish misfortune on Spez, but i certainly don’t want to wish fortune on him either. What a colossal idiot.

I’ve been using PIA for years for my downloading purposes, as well as having a VPN when I travel. No issues at all and completely reliable. Don’t know if I’d trust them to leak state secrets, but not an issue because I don’t have any.

VPNs are one tool to help. They’re not the end-all-be-all. If the VPN provider is reliable, they can protect your IP address and keep your internet link more secure if using public network facilities (wifi or cellular) as the VPN tunnel is (should be) encrypted.

That said, if you are using software that fails to protect your user information by defect or by design, it can still leak data at the endpoint you are using, even though your connection is (hopefully) more secure.
