  • I love the bit where they just attack the idea of someone saying “Ugh, capitalism” and perform character assassinations (on people they seem to respect?) rather than actually discuss issues in the world. Like yeah, virtue signalling exists. See the companies that ask to work with LGBTQIA+ people specifically in the month of June and no other. We know it happens. You’re doing the exact thing you’re currently complaining about.

    “Y’all can’t quote the exact policies that are causing issues” - says the dude who complains about everyone in Brooklyn having ‘Ugh capitalism’ in their tinder bios. I thought we were talking real issues here? Hard hitting policy that needs to be changed, not horny men using a tactic.

    Awful article really.




  • Kinda sad to see some of the comments being assholes about OP clicking a link. Like, how do y’all think phishing works? People click. Get over it and just educate people on why not to. Explain the risks and how to spot the scam. Do any of you think this person would have clicked if they knew for sure? Or if they knew the issues that can occur? It’s super easy to sit in the comments and act holier than cos you knew and they didn’t.

    Yeah it’s a scam. Most people get these quite often. Your Telecom company probably blocks these quite often. Someone else went through all the details of the scam like the fake domain, where to report etc.

    Some of these links allow people to track who clicks. If you click once, they can provide data that you did and they can target you using other numbers and other scams. Might not be the case with this one, but they can also get your device details from accessing the site, using google analytics, ip data, geolocation stuff, etc. Or they ask you to allow notifications but the notifications are also scams.

    General rule of thumb is don’t click when you don’t trust the source. If youre sceptical, just walk away for a bit. Cops, the government and postmen know where you live, and they won’t miss you. It is always okay to trust your gut, be it in a call, messaging platform or on the Web.

    I disagree with the Hunger Games bit… Any possible chance you mean Divergent or one of the other dystopian novels of the time? I’m not pretending it’s the best thing on the planet, but the Hunger Games is well and beyond 8th grade writing and is objectively decent writing, plot holes or no.

    Always back up your stuff, but after doing so, the process is pretty much boot to bios, set boot priority with linux usb at the top, and away you go.

    If you have secure boot enabled, you might have to enter a pass code or passphrase but otherwise its identical to traditional bios. If you want secure boot, which prevents someone else from doing this process to your machine, re enable after you’ve installed nvidia drivers otherwise you’ll have to provide it your secure boot password during and sometimes it likes to break.
