Yes, and racism is also a social hierarchy and systemic structure that utilizes tools of oppression to allow the in-group to have power and control over the out-group. Calling it prejudice alone is not acknowledging the full picture.

Sure is. But "White" is prejudice at worst, not racism. Racism includes the inherent power dynamics and systemic racism against minorities.

...so these Hexbear folx have got a chip on their shoulder, huh?

From scanning through their comments, I'm guessing they don't actually believe the shit they're saying? Only because, if they did, I would think they would actually try to have a discussion with people instead of whatever firestorm is happening on this thread. I'm not up to date - is this a troll instance?

Right, but as so many other threads have acknowledged, not everyone is capable of paying a large upfront cost to save them in the long-term. That's one example of why it's more expensive to be broke. That's why I'm responding to these comments - it's not all ignorance or stupidity; people are broke out here.

I'd love one, thanks for raffling them off!

Just buying a PC is a high price of entry. It doesn't have to be a hobby that you're putting money into frequently.

It's also the only option if you want to play online with friends and don't have an expensive PC.

Yes, and there should be no grace in this world for changing your mind or thinking better of a decision.

I understand it's been normalized. I'm trying to figure out my hangup with the word "weird"... I guess ultimately I don't consider it weird for someone to stand against something that's normalized.

I understand a large number of apps request phone number to log in, but that doesn't explain why it's a weird line to draw to not engage with that.

Just as an aside, gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children in the US; vehicle collisions are now 2nd, due to gun violence increasing and vehicle collisions decreasing.

What makes it a weird line for them to draw?

Maybe. "Edgy" to me implies people trying to emotionally manipulate others into reactions by lambasting or supporting certain viewpoints. But, and this may just be a definitions thing, I don't think that implies that people who are being edgy don't believe what they are purporting. Trolls I think though are manipulating completely regardless of their actual views. So maybe trolls are a subset of people who are being edgy.

Lol, so is lemmygrad just full of trolls now? Guess it was inevitable.

Isn't the i7-7700k a kaby lake processor?

That's a fairly simplified look at the whole picture though. Fingerprinting is a whole other beast, and Brave and Firefox and associated forks have varying and incomplete protections. For instance, only the Firefox-forked browser called Mull seems to effectively randomize data for canvas fingerprinting, whereas Firefox and Brave don't have protections against it at all. Saying you're essentially invisible on the Internet following your steps is pretty inaccurate. There's way too much money in this shit; web services are fingerprinting on everything they can.
