They’re only guilty if they’re people I don’t like.

“Catching Smoke” - King Gizzard

That’s kool aid from Jeep back in the day to discredit the Samurai as unfit.

and it worked

It was fine though, for its time, the Samurai didn’t flip any worse than anything else.

This.

Literally Think of the firearms!

Most people effected by this will be normies browsing for a printer for their kids. No one illegally printing guns will give any kind of a fuck when they have a garage full of DIY printers.

So yeah, it’s just another way to spy on people.

Not if you think about it longer than two minutes.

Apple has to protect their IP, brand, their own information and their reputation. My identity and professional information is safe behind an iPhone, because they have to be for themselves.

My actual friends, actual social media activity, anarchism, socialist views, contacts, lol, even any discussion had here will never see that screen, no xmpp client, no tor, no yggdrasil, so, who cares what I order pizza and reserve parking spots with?

Yeah, I’m sick of it too, I’m a regular THC user and this round, I may bite the bullet and quit entirely. Fuck this entire country.

It Follows

The Presence (arguably not a horror flick)

no one tell him about November

In November 2025, Congress passed H.R. 5371, which rewrites the federal definition of hemp to use total THC instead of just delta-9. This means THCA — which converts to delta-9 when heated — now counts toward the legal threshold. The law also caps finished products at just 0.4mg total THC per container, which would make even a single 5mg gummy illegal.

What Products Are Affected?

• THCA flower — Raw hemp flower that converts to THC when smoked or vaped. Sales have surged 340% since 2024.
• Delta-8 and delta-10 THC products — The gas station gummies and vapes that exploded in popularity.
• Hemp-derived delta-9 gummies and edibles — The legal edibles sold at cannabis cafes and online.
• HHC products — Synthesized from hemp-derived CBD.
• THC beverages — Infused seltzers, coffees, and lemonades.

I don’t trust any of them, and I don’t trust Motorola.

My next phone will be an Iphone, treated like an appliance; no more info given than necessary to order a pizza, call my boss, navigate this dystopian wasteland, and see how much fiat is in my wageslave account.

Time to kick it like it’s 2007 and rock a laptop 24/7.

Are we seriously suggesting even with half a grain of salt that Samsung wouldn’t do the very same?

Google’s just the first house on the street, they’ll all gladly snitch on you.

Mine’s okay, the two little contact idea they had is finicky but a little jiggle and it’s good, I do keep the contacts clean, little rubbing alcohol.

I use a Surface Pro 6, I know of a guy with an 8 on Fedora. Mine’s on Cachy with Gnome.

There is a custom kernel you may need to get, https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

The slightly older ones make great Linux tablets. I use mine for comics.

Boo hoo?

Why should anyone care? It’s just Hollywood. Let it enshittify and burn to the ground while the indy and foreign film scene eats its lunch.

Go on, merge, and merge and merge and merge. No tears wasted here. There’s no use crying over a burning dumpster fire.

Christians of Lemmy!

cough

foot shuffle

Good thinking, shoot it with a 12ga slug.

but seriously, time and sense are a factor there. A few seconds? In front of me? I’d waver that action under a few conditions.

Keep your OS updated, make regular backups, use full-disk-encryption, and nuke and pave whenever things get cluttery. You’ll be alright.

Were it me and I just went through a TSA screening and they took it and returned,… I may nuke the laptop.
