It’s like you didn’t even read the original post. Your first three paragraphs are redundant because the OP already mentioned that they agree with you, barring calling it bullshit.
Your utilitarianism the the whole problems they’re pointing out, if you read the actual post, you’ll notice that all it does is draw us further and further to the right, with no end in sight.
I’m not the one spreading bullshit to make myself feel better about a fucking security blanket.
You’re literally doing that with antivaxxing. Holy projection batman.
Because “Google”, an antivax opinion hitpiece with a single source about efficacy (yes there are other sources about absolutely nothing to do with transmission and more about how poor antivax folks are demonized, cmon dude), and what everyone “just knows” from the last two years are magic arbiters of truth…
Lol fuck off dude. Give me some actual sources/studies with no opinion whinging and I’ll bite.
Until then, you’re the very thing you keep writing everything else off as, conspiratorial nonsense.
LOL. Your source is an antivax hit piece, with a single quote about unknown efficacy in 2020 tied behind a whole slew of conspiracy logic.
This is supposed to be painfully obvious?
Dude…
Would love to see your source on that.
But even if that’s true (which I have a hard time believing considering the nature of vaccines), it’s been repeatedly proven that the vaccine does dramatically reduce both symptoms and life-ending complications.
Pretty sure that’s on lemmy. They did something that introduced a lot of errors and added redundant overhead and it also broke kbin that handles all federated thread content.
Poor dude was on holiday too, lemmy kind of screwed up their timing and push here imo.
If you think every instance is going to follow suit with your example you’re an idiot. I’d love for you to show numbers of instances that follow your logic, and not just a single comment that made you unhappy with how it played out.
@jerome I tried making one (so I can test out apps when they start coming out in case they don’t support my preference, kbin) and I was having that issue all day. I finally made one about an hour ago, just keep trying… I think they’re having a hard time handling the traffic atm.
Probably because no one has any proof other than anecdotal evidence. And the vast majority of times it’s looked into it’s because the person reporting it doesn’t understand how else their information is collected (i.e. web searches, intranet data for other people, browsing histories, etc.)
Look at it this way, is it more likely that the majority of security researchers that look into it, find nothing, and deem these use cases as inefficient and improbable, are wrong; OR is it more likely that data collectors builds good profiles, mixed with some Baader-Meinhof, a little Dunning-Krueger, and a lot of coincidence?
Not everything is a big conspiracy, nuance is neccesary, or the sky will always be falling.
