Christ I didn’t even notice. These cowards have broken me.

Gee I’m so shocked that a regular bLuE mAgA screamer is really into defending Putin.

They might be upset that they found themselves in the meme

“this obviously attractive woman is ugly” is something to explore in therapy rather than scream onto the Internet

I didn’t say that’s what it meant. I just wondered if they would think one was much more aggressive than the other. I do. More than one thing can be true.

From 11 years ago.

Never heard of a restaurant posting a sign on the door saying they’re full.

I guess they think this is hilarious?

I never understood the hype about it. I tried it for a while then my trial expired. I cannot say I miss it. It was okay, nothing that blew my mind

How does that work? I’ve been using bidets a long time and I haven’t a clue how facing backwards could help

Haha well a lot of people are defining pop tarts as aggressive in different ways. Apparently I’m way too narrow in my interpretation of that word

That actually makes sense haha

My favorite comment today lol

lol, well, I’m at the age where that’s gonna start impacting me soon I guess. I’m not sure that my issue with online interactions like this is as much related to general bitchery as it is the distinct inability to let someone make a point. Either this guy hated your point, judged you based on something random, or just genuinely cannot see the forest for the trees. In any case, it’s infuriating to me. Your point was that technology, given enough time, makes inconceivable things real. Any moron could see this if they tried. Both through observation in the world and by reading what you wrote. But somehow none of that mattered. Just the fact that they thought your examples were subpar could possibly matter. (btw they weren’t, they illustrated the point just fine). Being crotchety is something I’m no stranger to and it’s often unpleasant. But focusing on shit that doesn’t matter in order to make another person “wrong” is some pointless bullshit. It’s not even pedantry. It’s something else, imo.

Pop tarts are aggressive…?

Regarding the national anthem, you should look up a translation of the French national anthem. And it probably isn’t the most metal/aggressive national anthem out there, since it’s one of the very few I even know.

And yet they made a valid point. Your response here has nothing to do with anything but pointlessly shitting on someone. Which apparently makes you feel better?

I’ll validate you here. You made a good point and you were wrong about nothing that mattered, if anything at all. Yet this dude slid in, in classic online asshole style, to redefine the conversation and cherry pick what it’s about and what would matter or not and even went so far to correct you “no, the point was [what I said, because you don’t matter].”

I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with people who do this. What is the fucking point of attempting to reframe a discussion you didn’t start and die on the hill of “that other person sucks because they said something I argue is technically inaccurate and has little or nothing to do with a valid point they’re making”. I keep saying to myself I have to quit Lemmy, and it’s primarily that exact type of asshole behavior that causes me to think that way.

I see, I think. When it comes to the updates you’re mentioning, is that primarily the firmware on the devices that is of concern? Whatever software solution I’d go with, I’d stay pretty on top of updating it because that’s something I’ve learned is pretty important.

Firstly, thank you for all this advice.

I think you are a couple paygrades above me when it comes to networking knowledge though. Can you say more about why cameras in particular are specifically such a liability? Is it because they are a hackable thing which is observable from public space?
