We also talk about ID verification laws and the impact on user privacy. We're restocking our Microslop T-shirts. More on the way in a few weeks.

I would rather be deplatformed than give out my ID on the internet and I think I'm FAR from the only one who feels that way. This is not going to go well for governments and big tech.
Jumping to Linux is sounding better and better...
if large parts of the internet require an ID verified account, there will just be markets selling ID verified accounts for $0.50
Sloppya Nutella makes people wish Ballmer would come back. Quite the feat of mental ability.
If you don't have a local copy you don't have a backup.
"There is no malware on your computer" You know, except Windows by Microslop.
Windows 11 is the best advertisement for Linux out there.
>there is no malware on your computer >running Macroslop Windows 11
If you can't prove you own the account the government should not be able to prove that's your account.
It's almost like once your data is on their server, it's their data.
While we're on authentication and privacy, never use biometric locks on your devices (unless you can turn them off at an instant's notice) especially if you're in the US. Law enforcement can compel you to open a biometric lock, but cannot compel you to enter a PIN or password. For example, on an iPhone, mashing the right side button 5 times locks the phone and forces you to enter your PIN/passcode even if you have Face ID enabled.
