rhetorical question, I know what she’s doing, clicking on random shit and then blaming other people for her problems.

every intrusive advertisement or popup. “I got hacked” every wrong website she goes to “this is a scam”

both of them shield, coddle, and enable a 53 year old man who is an overt Nazi and purge/mass death obsessed eugenicist freak, (my uncle), a lot more needs to be said to them honestly.

depending on your household’s browsing habits, it can be downright insane how much traffic goes through ones network (and the web at large), that is just nothing but dog shit.

I monitored my pihole at my place and my own traffic is usually no more than 15% garbage with about 750,000 domains blocked, but the second grandma or grandpa starts doomscrolling boomer things on their phones and ipads. I saw the network traffic at 60% blocked one time and I had to confront them and flatly ask them “what the fuck are you doing on your phone?”

also set up a Region exemption or whatever, blocking russian, chinese, and a whole bunch of other untrustworthy TLDs and im literally showing my grandmother the repeated attempts to communicate with something in fucking China in real time whilst she’s playing some solitare game she downloaded.

Not even a linux guy, but I had a Pi from a decade ago that I never opened, decided to set it up and use it for something useful, friends suggested Pihole. pained myself for 2 days getting everything working (most of my trouble had to do with peripherals and IP addresses not the device itself) but after the grief, got it working and it was well worth it.

I even printed a sticker for it that said “where ads go to die”

sorry doubleclick, but you’re toast

We cant even agree on what truth vs lies is, or what either of them mean. a lie is okay as long as its convenient ,truth must be hidden if it hurts us

In a world where truth is now fluid, we need to learn some Russian, just one word, a loanword “Vranyo” Literally it mean lies. but its used in the context “Im lying, you know Im lying, I know that you know Im lying, but you aren’t going to do shit, and I dont care even if you did”

Vranyo has infected western society Its how government operates, its how gangsters operate. convenientley, a lot of the governments and gangsters are now one in the same.

Valve bros dont need to worry about what happens in life after gaben, because I think gaben is going to ascend to cyberspace before the end.

how long is it going to take, before you realize its too late? if they didn’t realize by now, they aren’t going to

When I switched to a new CPU I got a bit locker message and it was one of my biggest computer scares ever. I couldn’t remember if the shop that assembled my pc would have enabled it or not. And wasn’t available to contact.

I had to take a risk. If I continued there was a 50 50 chance my shit would have been bricked. Thankfully. That shop had the foresight to NOT randomly enable features the client didn’t ask for

Im not upgrading my OS, and im not building or buying a new computer.

Im just going to ride it out until it explodes. the tech market is so messed up right now that I’ll end up paying more than what I did for my Machine in 2019, and it will be comparatvely, nowhere near as much as a performance jump as when I made the last switch from my 2012 build.
