are you comfortable with a single corporation having control over this sort of service?

Honestly? A tiny bit more than a single country. I have at least some miniscule control over the corporation through voting and local regulations that international corporations must follow, whereas I have absolutely no formal influence on US govt.

Which govt? I'm not comfortable with the idea of the current US govt having control over this sort of service.

This is mainly why I signed it. I honestly don't care about new games, and the whole narrative around the campaign is frankly infantile, but it should at the very least be a start towards fighting such practices in general.

He has audiobooks? For reals? OMFG.

He reads/records other people's books and puts it on his YT channel that's linked on his profile, it's not his own writing.

I guess I should've posted the reddit comments earlier on in the comment chain.

seemed very subjective

Him literally saying it is subjective? Operating from a US address is subjective? His language (including his natural American pronunciation that you can hear in his audiobooks) and the language of all of his sources is subjective?

And yeah, sorry chief, CIA saying that people saying bad stuff about CIA is SSSR propaganda is a bit too much even for me. I'll go ahead and say it - suggesting that a tankie, despite the actual evidence in his online activity, has simply got to be a non-American because clearly he just hates USA too much, is a very American-brained and Red-Scare-ish idea.

I've no problem with you being skeptical, but consider the actual examples:

What's messed up, is that my US cell carrier, recently told me that my currently working 4g Xiaomi phone "won't be supported" in like 3 months. They aren't even turning off 4g, its just I suspect they're trying to find ways to make sure chinese phones aren't usable in the US.

They can really arrest all of us. Police and prison budgets have been skyrocketing for 30+ years, its the biggest item in most city and state budgets.

Leaf through his other comments as well, let me know what's your impression.

I never said editing registry files is "common sense", but in the grand scheme of things it's very simple and, yes, quite idiot-proof (go here and here, create file this and that, set value to 1). That may count as pro to some but I'm pretty sure it's not enough to actually work with Linux (which one of my family members uses so I see it in practice).

Besides, considering this comment

Most of those registry keys are not documented, and it’s very hard to be completely sure about what you are touching.

Maybe it's precisely the fact that I'm brazenly tinkering with registry files that renders me not-as-pro as some might think.

I've no idea what that means but ok

By default, LibreWolf deletes the user's cookies and history when the browser is closed,

I'm not sure if these devs have the same priorities as me D:

Yes. He mentioned it in his reddit comments, but even if you don't go out looking for it, there are various indicators - language (exclusively English), the fact lemmy.ml is registered from a US address, the fact that all of his discourse is heavily US-centric.

Frankly, only an American can be this obsessed with CIA.

An American is taking care of the Russian community and defending it from CIA propaganda, that's so anti-imperialist. I'm sure Russians are thankful 🙏

As a Windows user, I've had this problem with Firefox browser a number of times, and never with Widows.

I didn't know I'm already a computer pro by following a couple of idiot-proof steps I found by googling.
