@littlelight hang in there. Sometimes the best we can do is to keep our head down and ride out the storm. I believe things will get better

@UltraEcchiWaifu I agree. I feel like those are engineered to be like chain mail. Free clicks or likes for popularity

@freakinbox sadly that's how people are. Sometimes they're so eager to be right, that they get desperate and weird. I know I've been blocked before, by people who acted like that, then flipped it on me as if I was the one with the problem. Sad days when no one can have a discussion

@dr_zooks I agree

@TheNewsOwl lol today is reverse for me

@john_b no! Poor little person. Hopefully he heals quickly

@john_b wow... the weasel line actually improves it

@omnipotus it could be, or it could be your body/mind telling you that you're spiritually/emotionally/physically drained. Either way, I hope things get better

@scottronaut good gravy... I love that

@sistersib I'm so sorry that you've had such a bad go of it. Hopefully your luck will take a turn for the better asap

@37710TT_773W35 lol, making faces is a fun part of life

@37710TT_773W35 I think you're right, might be a mix or eco friendly plus cutting costs

I hate that I have to make this post:

I'm not looking to fight with people, and don't seek conflict.
I'm not a troll.
I value good discussion and will admit if I'm wrong.
Don't call me out if you can't back up your opposing viewpoint.
If I generalize something, it's not out of malice.
I will try to phrase things in a way that isn't demeaning or insulting, but if attacked, I might slip for a bit.
Above all, I consider everyone friendly, until they prove me wrong.

@mcfate whats clear is that you mistake legitimate concerns of censorship and privacy abuse to be a rant. I may not have every example of every time someone claimed false positives aren't possible (or minimally possible) but so far you haven't even tried to justify your stance. Look, I like seeing you around here. I am not trying to start a fight. I just have concerns. Apparently you don't. Let's agree to disagree. You don't have to talk down to me to prove your point

@mcfate how's that a weak support? It's one of a multitude of examples, that Apple claimed there would be minimal false positives, that is easily found by a quick search. Look, I'm not sure what you gain by defending tech companies. I'm all for protecting children, I just feel like they should be constantly be scanning your device. What's your story? You seem to endorse it somehow?

@mcfate ok, I'll adjust it for you. Most notably, apple claimed that there would be minimal false positives ( random search example https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-to-tune-csam-system-to-keep-one-in-a-trillion-false-positive-deactivation-threshold/). There have, in the past, been other tech representatives that have claimed that csam scans would have minimal false positives. That's entirely too murky to quickly find examples for each and every company. I'll use apple only in order to make you happy. There we are: amended for your pleasure

@insomniacviolin I see, yeah, that can be an issue. Well, hopefully as you continue your journey, it'll even out

@mcfate I agree that there should be some scanning, but the potential for on device scanning is able to be abused and corrupted, easily(e.g. trained to seek political rivals, social groups, protestors, etc).

Ok, fair enough. I did not make up tech companies claiming that they wouldn't have false positives, but if you're too lazy to look it up, I'm too lazy to find exact examples. Point being: there are claims that they wouldn't have false positives, most recently(specifically) apple (claimed)

@insomniacviolin have you been stretching first? I've heard that sometimes a stiff muscle can pull the patella a bit too much, causing the displacement.

@mcfate while this IS indeed troubling, further troubling is the fact that Apple wants to do this direct on iPhone users devices. No cloud required. The funny part is that all the tech companies claim there's no way theyd get a false positive...
