Except that it doesn't work unless you switch to Proton beta buried somewhere in the settings and then when you boot a game there's no audio because it always tries to use your graphics card's HDMI audio output instead of your driverless USB DAC which is already set to default thus necessitating you to turn "off" the HDMI audio output every time you wake your computer from sleep. And luckily I figured that out.

Something has been done about this, but you'll have to pay actual money. System76 provides lifetime support for these things if you buy their PCs.

Who cares? If you have a problem with it then write your own chatbot and allow whatever you want. There is no "thought police" with this or Twitter or whatever other private platform. These are examples of privately owned and operated software. You don't get to turn someone else's message board into whatever you think the "town square" should be.

You did it by the very act of sidelining the conversation. Your point (US human rights violations) are an off-topic false equivalence when talking about the much greater magnitude of Saudi human rights violations. China and Russia violate human rights too, should we throw them into the mix to muddy the waters even more?

Actually I think Tesla has fast charging adapters for the other standards.

Not exactly. This is true for AC charging, but DC fast charging is still split between 3 standards which are not interoperable (Tesla, Nissan/Chademo, and CCS aka "the worldwide standard")

Some (at least half) of public chargers require you to download their app to start the charging and pay for it.

Not sure why you think the interface is shitty, but the phones fit in your pocket.

Now you're just trying too hard. If people wanted this, they'd already have tablets in their pocket. No one walks around with a tablet today.

processing power and local storage, usb accessory compatibility. You seem to be asking why PCs still exist.

Pocket sized cell phones already do this. Why wear an ugly headband? Only introverts don't care about fashion and vanity. Everyone else started carrying around pocket computers because Apple made it super easy and offered nice, clean looking phones that wouldn't embarrass you. Plus it combined the ipod, flip phone, and camera that lots of people carried around.

Your analogy to second life is pretty good I think. What introverts like Zuckerberg don't understand is that people who are naturally interested in socializing have already figured out how to do that in real life (no need for VR). For business, people just want something simple, easy, and effective. Most people don't even turn on their camera in Teams calls and now you expect them to put on a VR headset? Get real.

It's impossible to prove what someone's thinking, but motive is still a large part of our legal system (and is tied with ethics pretty strongly as well). Biden had an official duty to try and oust the Ukrainian prosecutor. Maybe he was glad due to some ulterior motive (who knows), but he had verifiable and sound motive as well. There was no other motive for Trump to try and get the Ukrainians to dig up dirt on Hunter other than his last name. If he wasn't running against Joe, he wouldn't give a shit about Hunter (no one would) and you know it. What "else" do you imagine was Trump's motive here?

Let me stop you right there. I don't remember 'antifa' "similarly" taking control of any government buildings by force. Bringing up 'antifa' is a classic distraction (and false equivalence) of your cult though. Regarding the false equivalence, I think the leader of the oath keepers was just handed a lengthy prison sentence. Maybe you can find an "equivalent" sentence for a member of 'antifa'.

I'm quoting you directly, so obviously it was said. I don't care what Khanna was saying, I was quoting YOU. Anyway, I'm glad we agree that first amendment free speech has nothing to do with twitter's decision to censor anything.

It's not a double standard since motives were national interest in one case and personal interest in another case.

I realize that some in your cult would like to draw false equivalencies to distract from the misdeeds of your leader. Sometimes coercion can be used for good (like the current sanctions against Russia). Motive matters.

Your original quote was about Biden doing the same thing as Trump, implying that some people are hypocritical for blaming Trump and not Biden. I've tried to convince you the situation was different due to motive. Whataboutism would be if we were talking about how bad Biden was and I brought up Trump.

So now you're downplaying the importance of Trump's actions. Rod Blagojevich went to jail for exactly that until his sentence was commuted by Trump. I guess your cult just isn't concerned about corruption for personal gain.

What got codified in the first amendment is literally the protection for open government criticism, not the "broader" "cultural concept" you're referring to. You can imagine broader interpretations if you'd like.

You claimed Biden "bragged about doing the sort of thing Trump was impeached for". Trump was literally impeached for bribery (in the form of military assistance).

I don't dispute that fact, but you're missing context and motive. Biden wanted the prosecutor out for ethical reasons. Trump just wanted a political talking point for himself.

These are other instances of protection for the people in criticizing government. What you were implying (that I disagree with) is being able to shout whatever you want through someone else's megaphone. That's never been protected, even as a "cultural concept".

The cult of false equivalency where facts don't matter.

false

Since when? I think you mean it's a "I get to attack those who are mean to me" concept. Private websites can ban whatever speech they want for whatever reason they want as long as they're not targeting a protected class. Your cult is not a "protected class", fortunately.

OMG 12 more days of one private website blocking links to another private website? There should be a congressional inquiry for sure.
