On both Windows and Android I go in and remove all of the bloatware and disable all of the tracking. I also turn off all of the various communications 'features' that are to let devices talk other devices.

I bought an e-bike 2 years ago – no one told me I’d also need these accessories in c/micromobility@lemmy.world

I'm sure the naive dumb-shits of the world appreciate your crusade to protect them. If you read the conversation with the actual mod, you'll see that I'm really calling them a shill pretending to be a dumb-shit at this point. If the world actually stood up to this kind of stupidity and fuckery instead of protecting it, then the US probably wouldn't have ever had Trump as president. Oh well... best wishes to you.

criticize the legitimate argument

I don't believe there was any argument. Of course you need accessories for your bicycle (of any kind) unless you're going to just treat it as disposable.

calling them a dumb fuck is dickery

Your community, your call... I do respectfully disagree. That level of naivety for a grown adult is dumb-fuckery and it deserves to be called out. The premise is so incredulous that I suspect they actually just lied about it as a pretext for writing the article with a whole bunch of product placements. The whole article is an advertisement in disguise.

Anyway... I'll try to notice if I'm in your community again and attempt to keep it between the lines for you.

Are you calling me a dick? If you're not, then what value did you bring to the conversation? If you are, then are you not actually being far more abrasive than I was since I'm actually here?

You do understand I was calling out the author of the article, right? I really don't understand how someone can be ignorant enough to buy a bicycle and have absolutely no idea that they might just need some things to go with it.

Maybe they didn't know you were a naive dumb-shit?
