What do you expect us to do? I don't buy anti-consumer products as much as possible and I advise everyone I know to do the same. I explain why things are bad, but most people don't care enough to listen. On top of that, these companies collude so that all the options end up being anti-consumer bullshit and you're stuck trying to find the least bad one.

I don't know Oracle's product but the company I work for has had a ton of people working on VDI for like 15 years now. It's a solved problem. The only real annoying part was that it required pretty solid bandwidth and people would try using it on shitty Internet and then expect us to fix it. I'm kind of surprised it took this long for a consumer version to get off the ground. I would never use it because it sounds like a privacy nightmare but most people don't think about that shit.

The company I work for makes us. We have chrome but they're constantly threatening to remove it and if you have a technical issue with something web based and you're not using edge IT won't help you.

I don't for media. I have 2 parity drives and that's it. I'd like to do some kind of off site mirror but I haven't had time to figure it out and buying enough storage to do that is expensive.

My actual data for like taxes and stuff is backed up to my server and backblaze.

I've not really ever had any cohesion on the platforms I use anonymously anyway. I just like having places to talk about shit without any judgement that would be linked to my identity. Gonna miss that if this shit takes off but going outside more will probably do me some good.

The fact they ever considered something affiliated with Peter Thiel in the first place is enough to abandon Discord.

The one I just bought came with 3 of the fucking things installed on it.

Probably talking about invasive shit like what discord just did.

Social media has muddied the water since I was a kid but I was raw dogging the Internet mostly unsupervised since I was in 5th grade and ran into all sorts of shit. Knowing not to give up any personal information about myself was all I really needed to feel safe. It was never something I even considered doing. I still don't have any social media with my identity other than a very outdated and minimal LinkedIn. Not sure how a kid could take that advice seriously from their parents who've been blasting anything and everything about them all over social media since they were born though.

Hearing about all this dumb shit these politicians are constantly doing certainly isn't doing my mental health any favors

How does this "firearm blocking technology" even work? How does a 3d printer id whatever code the slicer sends it as a gun part?

Saying shitty things to people to make them feel bad about themselves so they will lower their standards enough to fuck you. The kind of thing only an incel could come up with.
