  • 100%; It’s attention seeking behavior. As far as their implied threat goes, they either will, or they wont. If we engage with the threat, that just feeds into the attention seeking behavior.

    So I give what advice I can, and the rest is up to them.

    A lot of lemmy doesn’t respond well to tough love, which some people need, you can’t just enable people stuck in a rut to stay in the rut forever!

    Any post where people are encouraged to be the agent of their own self actualization is met with a flood of downvotes, in my experience.

    • I live with my parents : So what? That’s normal in most of the world
    • I don’t have a love interest : Become interesting first! Nobody owes you their affection
    • I never had sex : It’s not so important, but if its a real blocker there are providers of negotiable affection
    • I’m lonely : Yeah? Most men are lonely even in their own busy lives, being around people and being understood are different. If you want connections you have to make them, be accessible, and be a resource to those you care about.
    • Back to zero : NOT AT ALL! You have a new phone (from their posts), more world experience, and now a better idea on what you like to do and where you can do it.

    Decide what you need to change in your life to improve it, and make a plan, and do it.












  • You say that… and i agree for the individual user,

    but for doing tech support - i think all of the dark patterns ms uses in their retail environment is going to setup a older person for failure. I don’t want one drive to get pushed or auto-installed. I don’t want edge to take over everything. I don’t want to try to debug whatever copoilt / recall is doing this week. I don’t want to start bar/task bar to get filled with micro advertisements.

    Thats why I went with IOT LTSC, sure, I don’t have the windows store, but on the other hand I don’t have the windows store.

    When windows 8? Was a thing and Ms had this all tile interface I once tried to print a document in a hotel… I felt like the interface was actively fighting me the entire time, the single most difficult computer interaction in my life. (And I used os/2)


  • you can have both, you just might need to use something like qubes to encapsulate the traffic easily; Or use the socks5 proxies to do your own multihop proxying

    It’s down to your threat model: If someone is analyzing your local traffic the DAITA is valuable. If you want to obscure your geographical region then multi-hop is good.
