  1. Typical far left wing *redacted* organization. I can't wait for their demise. If they don't agree with something regardless of all the data, facts, video, audio, proof, it's "misinformation." because somehow Twitter knows more than everyone. 1984 has begun.

  5. Holy Old Thread Bump Batman!

    I have purchased a plugin from the Invision Board Marketplace called Auto Lock Topics. It basically auto locks topics, and we've set ours for older than 90 days. Right now I have disabled the automated message all these locked topics will get because we have over 980K topics that will be locked, and thanks to me not thinking a bit more about the settings, some topics were bumped to the top of forums, which defeats the whole purpose 😛 They are now silently locked, and when the task has completed to 90 days ago I will enable a message that suggests a new topic be started, or to contact a moderator for unlocking (in certain cases we will allow this, like for returning seasons of TV shows etc). Anyway just wanted to update you all on why some old topics from 2001 might be showing up on your feeds.

  7. Misinformation according to Twitter. If you, or others, don't like their rules you are free to leave and join Parler for example with their own censorship of posts. No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to use Twitter. This argument is really stupid. Because why are you on social media in the first place? To follow people whose ideas you want to know. Can't do that if I'm on a different platform, can I?

  8. Yeah, basically what it boils down to is anyone who does not have a favorable opinion of vaccines is automatically "disinformation" basically. *roles eyes* personally I am of the mindset of WHY put something into your body (like a vaccine) that one can likely fight off naturally? (we all know the death rate of covid is VERY low (like less than 1% from what I have heard) unless you happen to be really old or in really bad health. but yet the corrupt leftists/media are always hammering home the fear-mongering non-stop and abusing it to go on a power trip and control the country and destroy small business and economy etc) ; it's simply a matter of trust to and big pharma is not exactly trustworthy as you see it all of the time on TV with those commercials where those lawyers suing 'if you took such and such and were injured you might be entitled to compensation'. plus, you can see general standards of prescription drugs etc are declining as some even admit they can cause cancer and other serious side effects etc. the side effects end up being worse than the problem they are trying to fix. basically their greed overrules morality and with stuff like I just said, it's wise not to be too trusting of the medical industry and just blindly believe everything your told from the mainstream views as they clearly don't have your best interest at heart but their $$$. sure, if your in a life threatening situation they can be pretty good at saving your life. but the more causal stuff, I would not be quick to blindly trust everything they say as my general mindset is avoid prescription drugs (and the like) unless absolutely necessary. you will probably be healthier in the long term that way to.

  9. Social Media is just a dumping ground of manipulation. Some people have been using Social Media to manipulate others since it began and the companies themselves manipulate as well. It all needs to be stopped, once and for all.

  16. I completely agree. I have to use it for work reasons and whenever I have to call more 2 people or more at once I just use Skype or Meet and the only advantage I see in Zoom's favour is being able to share only portion of the screen as opposed to an entire window like the others but other than this I could happily live with Skype or Meet. Oh, and zoom uses more resources on my iMac than the others.

  19. You do realize this is an extension, right? Teams itself is bloated on its own because its a web page wrapped inside a desktop window. Its not native at all. Same as Slack. Same as Discord. Welcome to lazy cross-platform support. Electron can burn in hell, and I would happily warm my hands over the fire.

  22. I tested this release a little earlier and, unless my Marvell 9215 controller card had something to do with the fix (since when v20 was released I was not using that with my OS install and was using my onboard SATA II ports), this v20.1 works where as v20 did not as with v20 I had a rather large issue (which stopped me from using v20 and I had to restore my Clonezilla image of v19.3) where after a clean installation (did not matter whether it was standard BIOS or UEFI), I reboot, and after OS loads like usual, I load up the file manager and it does not list the hard drives on my computer like is expected, nor does inserting a USB thumb drive load up like expected either (but 'lsblk' shows the drives), so things are pretty much shot in this regard. but on Mint v20.1 beta things work as expected like Mint v19.x series does. so what ill probably do soon to see whether the Mint v20.1 release actually fixed anything is try clean installing Mint v20 with my current setup to see if that HDD/USB thumb drive issue disappears as if it does, I suspect just using my Marvell 9215 controller card is sort of a work around for the bug. but if the bug is still there in Mint v20 then they must have fixed something in Mint v20.1 etc.

  31. If you install windows to an SSD and clone it to an HDD, it will run like total crap (even worse than just clean installing to an HDD) and if you open "defragment and optimize drives " will still say you are running an SSD. If you do a winsat formal from the command prompt, it re-benchmarks the system and configures itself properly now for an HDD instead of an SSD. if you reopen "defragment and optimize drives " it will now say HDD instead of SSD. After a few reboots, it runs just like HDD clean install. (Probably after it gets the prefetch reconfigured) Same works both ways I think. Personally I like True Image, not because Macromedia Reflect is bad but because Macromedia Reflects source and destination menu freaks me out. I find True Image to be MUCH simpler. With Macromedia Reflect I'm always terrified I'm going to nuke the wrong drive. True Image Macromedia Reflect

  37. Misinformation? like when he said he'll get a vaccine out this year and was "fact checked" that it would never happen? Or when he said he was spied upon and was fact check that his administration was never spied up? Woops... another "fact check" of trump proved wrong... Or do you like the misinformation that was allowed about Hunter Bidens laptop being a "russian ploy"... except that was never proven true because... it wasn't... What "misinformation" will be blocked by blocking Trump and allowing other channels to provide actual misinformation? Misinformation you agree with out of ignorance? I guess we should allow misinformation like "he isn't president"... Hint: He's President at least through January 20th at a minimum (lawsuits ain't over yet - nor has the EC actually met yet). Hard to take you seriously when you complain of misinformation while spewing your own...

  39. People seem to always forgot software development cost money. It does, however when you look at the number of devices community run open source projects like LineageOS support: https://download.lineageos.org/" rel="external nofollow">https://download.lineageos.org/" rel="external nofollow">https://download.lineageos.org/ then something has to change. That has to make you question how much resources a company really needs to put in to delivering security updates every month. Do you know how many are volunteering to maintain all those devices? Not just development but also you need QA. It is just so sad when people still thinking software development is cheap labor. Most devices have one or two people maintaining them at the most, you can see for yourself on their wiki, for example: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon" rel="external nofollow">https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon I'm not saying software development is cheap labour, however with the size / money most companies are I don't at all think it's unrealistic to support devices for much longer than what is currently the norm. Two people per device will not work in the business environment, you also need QA. It is way easier say than done. And update bring in no money but cost, especially for mid and low range. Unless most buyer care about update. Correct. Enthusiast roms only work because the community using them are willing to be QA and guinea pigs. Because of this, they have the largest QA department, larger than any one company. They will take it all on the chin, smile, and ask for more. For free! How do I know? I used to build my own for the Android community (not CM/Lineage based).

    I assume you're criticizing sites like Parler for their censorship as well or are you singling out Twitter because of your political bias? Either you and your cultist upvoters are against censorship or you're not.

  43. Apple TV app will arrive on Chromecast with Google TV next year

    I love the new Chromecast or GoogleTV whatever they're calling it too. I also absolutely love that it works with the Bose sound system I have hooked up to it... and that I can tell my Google mini to turn on the TV... and it turns on both! Got a Logitech Harmony that couldn't even do that properly, if anyone wants it... I use THAT feature all the time. "Ok google, turn on my living room TV" while i'm making breakfast

  46. I'd love to know that myself, but there's no reason for it that I can tell. If you want to use Microsoft's two factor authentication on you PC or laptop or ARM device, why not? No, you have to use Android or iOS because *reasons*. I suspect it's just another sad case of one Microsoft tentacle not knowing what the other is doing. Too many tentacles, and the boss of this tentacle is some boomer who thinks two-factor apps must be on phones or sth. There's this weird 'Windows isn't mobile, live with a webapp' mindset that's exceptionally annoying. Most of my Windows systems are tablets (Surface Pro, Surface Go - ironically) and if a touch friendly app makes sense on an Android or iOS tablet, it makes as much sense on a Windows Tablet. Yet there's no Microsoft Authenticator for Windows! I think MSFT needs to remind their devs who they work for... or remember that they actually make an OS.

  47. EA Play isn't coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC today after all

    On Xbox it's bundled and acts as one seamlessly. On PC? no idea. EA require you to use their desktop client and have an EA Account. So at worst, you have to install their client and link your Xbox account (with an active Game Pass/Ultimate subscription) to your EA account to access it or (hopefully) it gets integrated into the Xbox app. I think the former is most likely. My 2 cents anyway so take with a grain of salt. EDIT: I dunno what happened, this was suppose to be a reply to DentedAphid7 but ended up here :/
