Fuck em. Talking chimps, the lot of em.

It’s not an ethos, though? They abandon all principles for dear leader, as well as holding contradictory principles simultaneous. They don’t stand by anything, because it’s ultimately mental illness. Their only principle is that they have none.

The fuck girl!?! If any guy had ever said that to me I wouldn’t have slept with them at all. Condoms are just as effective at preventing STI’s as they are pregnancy.

The only time I ever had sex without a condom was with a long term partner who agreed to be exclusive, AFTER we both got tested and shared our results. Had several long term partners before getting married. Probably slept with a couple dozen dudes over the years. Never caught any STI.

An excuse to implement a totalitarian fascist dictatorship, then genocide.

China should accept Taiwans sovereignty as a separate Chinese country, and stop being such a little bitch. The end.

Why would the fascist big tech algorithms lie to me?

It’s actually a work of art how meticulously they achieve the low budget 80’s B-horror aesthetic; acting, direction, cinematography, editing… everything. The random jump cuts (cemetery shotgun, lol), amateur framing, disjointed voiceovers, walking to nowhere at the end of a scene, or entering a scene for far too long, a Tombstone blowing in the wind.

It’s extremely difficult to intentionally make it all so shit while being so fucking funny. Perfection. Oh, and no fucking canned laughter!

It’s heartwarming in the orphan crushing machine kind of way. If you want to mass murder, make sure you do it behind the liability shield of a corporation, for profit.

Same. Last phone 5 years. Current phone 2 years. See zero reason in upgrading, especially to another big tech device or OS.

Really hoping a true Linux phone and OS materialises in the next couple of years. Something that isn’t beholden to any corporate monopoly or cartel. My requirements are basic. Apart from a dozen core mobile features/apps, everything can be done through a browser.

And the Republicans fascists specifically voted against revoking those powers in the last couple of months.

They’ve know this was coming for months, because the United corporations of America already paid their political puppet class numerous bribes to steal Venezuela’s oil.

Sure, mods will always be necessary when it comes to public/untrusted comms, but just like I don’t want my telco or email provider to decide which/when my TRUSTED contacts can contact me, the same is true for the rest of their speech.

You’re analogous to someone in 2013 arguing that the solution to facebooks crimes/corruption/censorship is to migrate to whatsapp…

Jumping from platform to platform, server to server each time is a bandaid solution which is not censorship resistant, especially against some totalitarian oppressor, and benefits hostile actors the most; fracturing groups into smaller and smaller bubbles. A real fix is a solution (e.g. protocol) that enables users to view a single person/entities/orgs comms regardless of what any middleman decides. The users trust should override anyone else’s.

What happens when the lunatics own the media and social media? Let them remove all evidence of genocide and corruption? Just accept the insanity and authoritarianism?

Although true, the existence of mods is an attack vector the criminally corrupt will always exploit, and every anti-authoritarian should not oppose these systems because they’re currently exploited by the corrupt.

Fascists are buying up all media and social media explicitly to silence opposition, control the narrative, and propagandize (the thing they claim everyone else is doing to them, while being the most blatantly criminal of perpetrators).

I can’t remember the specific protocol, but the one I saw which was most interesting relies on you subscribing to individuals, and building trust through that “social graph of trust”. It’s best to view it as someone owns a domain and you’re subscribing to their rss feed, except they’re identity is cryptographically verified, and the people they engage with have more weight in your feed than those that don’t… as opposed to whatever some technofascist algorithm, oligarch-beholden journalist or corrupt mod (who may very well be a paid operative) deems valuable or worthy of your attention; basically mimicking the way people build relationships in real life (without third party oversight).

The anecdotal cultural zeitgeist of our animal-specific ignorance.

I’m locked in here with them. They’re locked in here with me!

Imma have to tell you to stop doing everything you’re doing immediately.

Get outta here with your respect and tolerance, sanity guy.

Hollywood loves the 1 man army, even when it is on a level of complete insanity.

It’s crazy that WarGames is still one of the most accurate depictions of hacking in cinema, and it’s over 40 years old.

9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.

Though, any company that stops supporting a device should be legally required to open source all dependencies required to operate it, or provide a full refund.

This is why I switched to ZFS with sanoid+ syncoid. Any breaking update or data corruption can be rolled back, giving you the freedom to auto-update with minimal risk.
