Not your imagination at all.

Don't buy products that are clearly anti-consumer and you won't have issues like this. Of course Apple devices may as well be jewelry at this point. Who even cares if they're charged? Just nod your head like there's something going on.

Get a universal remote for your home theater. Flipper isn't really that usable and not enough buttons for that task. It can, but you'll be much happier with a Logitech Harmony.

Clarifying my position is picking a fight?

Sounds like you're the one out of clever comebacks.

I bought one not really knowing what I'd use it for.

  • So far the bluetooth keyboard has been the most useful.
  • I have a Co2 sensor on the GPIO for monitoring air quality.
  • Been using it to try and locate IR codes for a sound bar I lost the remote to.
  • I used it for remote shutter release on my DLSR.

Device seems well built and there's a huge community with lots of development so always something else to use it for.

Me personally choosing not to have gender transition surgery is Discrimination?

announcing you don’t want to transition is a completely random and pointless thing to do

We celebrate people transitioning, isn't it a little bigoted to not also celebrate not? I mean accepting who you are on the inside is what this is all supposed to be about, no matter who you are, isn't it?

you said you wanted the rules about homophobia and transphobia gone

Nope, not what I said. Read it again.
I said they were enforced arbitrarily, by mods who only hear what they want to hear.

you can be as homophobic and transphobic as you want

Lol see how easily you are triggered? I mentioned nothing about others. I can support trans people to be who they want to be and not desire the same treatment for myself. But all you hear are dog whistles, and that stops all discussion dead. It's the basis for an echo chamber.

When my personal choices are see as "transphobic" the problem isn't with me.

Right wing bots. That's a good one.

Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

As long as these rules are in place and enforced arbitrarily by power tripping mods you'll only see the woke bubble. Alternate ideas are not allowed. Try talking about any of the taboo subjects and see how quickly the ban hammer falls.

kbin.social is just as bad as reddit ever was. I said that I personally don't want a transgender transition surgery and they banned me. These are not places where real discussion can happen.

I don't mind downvotes. But I cannot debate when banned.

And there is no subtlety in the mods behaviour. They ban based on dog whistles that only they can hear.
