So Linux has been dominating the server space since before it existed? Cool!

There is a wrong way to be right about something, and this comment is a great example of that.

Um, no you don’t. I mean you can do it that way if you want I suppose, but you can just use the good ol’ decline button too (repeatedly, on various screens, with your network cable unplugged. Fuck Windows)

it won’t install the OS without making you create a Microsoft account

I’m not pro-Windows by any means, but this simply isn’t true.

YouTube ad revenue is a pittance. If you want to actually support creators, send them money directly.

The OP’s screenshots would suggest otherwise.

(You’ve gotta feel sorry for the “challenging” mail server this guy administers, yeeesh)

Shame having your own mail server didn’t teach you the difference between emails and text messages.

Wait til they find out about dihydrogen monoxide AKA the drink that 100% of people have and eventually die

Science!

Yeah actually, stuff what I said - you’re totally right.

It seems to be mostly not-quite-incels, or angry teens.

Or both.

Try not to judge the whole community for idiotic posts like these. There are always going to be dumb kids shouting dumb shit wherever you go, sometimes you’ve just gotta roll your eyes and keep on walking (or scrolling I guess) leaving the folly far behind.

The fact that they’re asking for the information in order to compare against for identity verification should tell you that they already have the information.

If you were a fraction as savvy as you seem to think you are, you’d know that deleting your PII from your profile did absolutely nothing in terms of removing it from their systems. Right now you’re whingeing about how upset you are about having to give them a phone number… that they already have.

This would only be discussion-worthy if you had actually removed the information and they were demanding it back. You didn’t and they’re not, they’re verifying the information you gave them to prove your identity using industry standard methods. If it wasn’t for the fact these are getting posted during school hours I’d assume you’re some edgelord teenager…

Hmmm I wonder who the single person who downvoted you was. Reckon OP is upset by the reality check on their entitlement…

“They treat everyone the same way, but I’m special so I should get special treatment!”

1. Why is this in Mildly Infuriating?
2. Why is this NSFW?
3. Why?

Aw come on now, we can’t be holding our public servants to account for their actions now can we? You silly billy

This seems…unlawful…

Edit - for anyone who actually knows stuff about things, is it?

I have to travel a lot for my job. Every. Single. Time. I’ve had the misfortune of needing to go to the States, my luggage has been stolen from in transit. Cash (learned that lesson), electronics, once it was dirty underwear?! Going to Russia? Fine. Laos? Grand. Cambodia? No bother. America? Nah mate, this is a communist country apparently, your property is our property! Gimmie gimmie gimmie!

Fuck the TSA, and fuck the complacency of the lazy ass populace who allow this corruption to run rampant, while still praising how great their freedumbs are.

You know what really grinds my gears?

Entitlement.
