No one? I assume you are assuming so due to me using the word market.

While it paying for it certainly exists, there is also trading. He could have easily traded for it.

Besides,the why or what he exchanged for it is irrelevant to the point that he was a fucking pedophile that had a metric fuckton of CSAM.

He never directly harmed children as far as we know

I absolutely loathe the entire apologist view of “They never directly harmed a child, they just had 45tb of pictures of children being harmed”

Buying/trading CSAM material IS directly harming children, because your activities are actively creating and furthering a demand for children to be molested and raped, Which very much means your hand is actively causing the harm, whether its directly against the child, or every other activity that creates the market that encourages molestation and rape. everyone participating in it is actively and directly harming children.

I really hope he eventually sues, wins, and gets capital B billions. Cause anything less they wont even feel, and Cause they caused him incredible harm, both with the baseless accusations, their inability to back down, and by deleting a decade+ of emails, pictures, contacts, etc etc without warning or an ability to retrieve them.

on the flip side, theres the story of the man who, during the height of covid, had his child develop a bad rash in their diaper area

Doctors requested photos for diagnosis.

Google detected the photo, and called the police on him, calling him a child predator and CSAM producer.

Police said it was a innocent, medically necessary photo.

Doctor said it was an innocent, medically necessary photo.

Google said, no, fuck you, we don’t care what the authorities say, you are a child fucking pervert, and we can prove it, and then pointing to a video from 6 months earlier of the mother laying on bed, i think after a bath/shower, unclothed…with the baby on her chest.A completely harmless, beautiful mother/child moment… but google perved out on it so hard they said he and his wife were the pedophiles.

and proceeded to delete his phone number, emails, photos, and everything else he had tied to google.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg remains convinced that smart glasses will eventually replace the smartphone.

Just a regular reminder that facebook has a massive child sex material trade problem, that they’ve actively done nothing to prevent, but they have called police on reporters reporting on it.

So Zuckerberg wanting his creepnology on every face, in every bathroom, hospital, etc, while he gets a copy of every video, is very much in character

I think Stardew and Rimworld are the only games i’ve played where the native linux versions werent completely fucked up and broken in some way.

So I pretty much always recommend playing the windows version via proton.

I seem to recall something about a story where, like, a kids mom didnt know the camera was remotely turned on and walked through the room naked, after having just gotten out of the shower, and there was some kind of CPS investigation about it?

or is my brain mixing up several different school district voyeur stories together?

about 30 years too late, lol

But thats gonna be one of those things thats gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of my life.

My favorite dot matrix memory is printing a like 400 page Breath of Fire 3 strategy guide on a daisy wheel dot matrix, and it took over night to print and everyone in the house complained about the constant ditditditditditditditditdit

edit: And the ribbon was so worn out that you needed forensic equipment to read it, but i persevered.

Its probably just much cheaper and easier, unless you absolutely have to have color, to go to good will and get a brother laser printer for like 10 bucks.

I got one years ago and its still on the original toner cart it came with, and I print decently often.

until they start having drone malfunctions that result in concussions, sliced throats, and decapitation.

Yep. There were many wrongful death lawsuits as well, i think which resulted in millions of dollars of payouts to families, and all the coverage really hit domino’s reputation to the point they finally dropped the half hour guarantee in the mid 90s because of the financial blows from reputation loss and settlements.

Though I wouldnt be surprised if they try to bring it back via drone deliveries.

and the reason they stopped delivering within 30 minutes was cause it led to reckless driving and many, many, many traffic accidents and losses of life.

Yeah, but I’d rather have a Windows Laptop than a Razer…Anything, really.

They are a shit company with shit quality hardware. At least windows can be reformated, but you cant fix Razer quality.

I wish it wasnt that way, Things should not just be repairable, they should be affordably repairable, because thats a major step towards dealing with a disposable society.

and lets face it, by the time its out of warranty and old enough to need any kind of easy repair… the replacement parts are probably gonna cost as much as a newer, much more up to date laptop from another company.

Which is inherently the problem with repair ability in general.

I run into the same problem with cellphones… I could replace the battery in mine and run it for another 6 years, or I could get a much newer (used) phone for the same price, and end up with a almost 100% new battery AND much better hardware.

but parts will never be made cheap enough to be reasonable and affordable, because people will just buy the parts and assemble the product themselves. So parts have to be at least as expensive as buying the new thing, if not more expensive, to discourage the act itself.

Who would have thought a more expensive, more premium product would have a hard time finding customers during a time when people are struggling to pay bills and cant even afford the non-existent dollar menu at mcdonalds anymore.

before long people are gonna want to buy nothing but used 70s and 80s carbuerated shitboxes just to avoid all this shit.

10 bucks says all this data is being fed back to insurance companies.

Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years

You heard it here, Folks.

No more making fun of conservatives hiding behind masks. Velvets tired of the comments.

Isnt that basically enterprise?

It was my understanding enterprise edition stripped out all that bullshit.
