Right. They say a bunch of shit to hopefully get their base out, sometimes it works. But they play dead when it comes time to deliver the big stuff (like paid family leave). Still, 2nd term Biden in a coma from old age would be better than Trump 2nd Term.

I don’t understand why people don’t pay for YouTube premium. Best streaming service I pay for. No ad blockers required. When I watch YouTube at someone else’s house the ads drive me nuts.

I told this to a group of people once and the silence killed me from ever commenting on the situation in a group setting again. A diplomat I am not
🤣

Fucking right. I’m so glad I’m nowhere near that area. I looked at my six months old son and it just breaks my heart all the kids that are terrified right now bcz of power hungry assholes.

I got volunteered to fix printer driver issue for a family member. The had one printer, and got another bcz the first one broke. New printer wouldn’t work so they just kept installing the drivers. The software gladly let them. Thankfully only took 15 mins to fix, but I told them printers are for bitches, me and my home print at the library.

As someone that just traded in my Sierra 1500 for a Sienna Minivan, I don’t understand why minivans get so much hate. My van is an excellent people mover, can carry a lot of shit, and gets 36MPG. The Tahoe I was looking at doesn’t hold a candle to my van, and uses a lot of expensive gas to boot.

The Anton Ego perspective. I like it!

I took a nap at 12:30 PM SHARP until my meeting at 1:30PM. Flexing.

My 13th birthday in 1993 where I got a SNES bundle with Super Mario World and Mario Kart and two controllers, McDonald’s for lunch, and the we watched the Lion King in theaters. Doesn’t seem like much, but we were a poor family. Best day ever.

Oh lawd I will not be able to unsee!

Fuck this is trash. DRM for the web. I wish people would understand websites like kbin are not free and that if you use a website you need to pay to keep it alive. But no one wants to pay for anything on the internet, and so we have ads. Ads will for sure kill the internet.

I think we need forums to come back. I am beginning to think the Fediverse has a big hole in it. It’s hard to ignore the Zuckerbergs of the world that show up to a poor sys admins house with a bag of money. I think we are going to need a feed aggregator that has a charter that says that profit is not the main focus of the service but supporting a community is , and the community is protected from Ads or Data collection as much as is possible.

“Ad supported” is vehemently against free speech. “Ad supported” makes is so no one can criticize anything.

Yes, people say nasty things online, and I absolutely don’t condone hate speech. But I choose to ridicule and ignore those people instead of banning them.

I drink two cokes a month and that is it. I’d rather do that then drink fake cancer boosted coke. That said I just ate char broiled steak medium done , which would probably kill me faster than those two cokes zero or not.

Super Metroid and Super Marioa64 are masterpieces.

Linux and open source are the only reasons I use Android. Remove those two things and there is no reason for me to use it. I’ll just get an iphone I guess. Or go back to a flip phone.

Waaah!? Profits are the key to life itself! Blasphemy!

I wonder why SFC doesn’t sue Redhat. Are they afraid of the GPL losing power? I’m not a Redhat user, but I respect the history (before 2014).

Not only that, once reddit IPOs they are tied to wallstreet and must beat wallstreet quarterly estimates or else. They already had trouble turning a profit, they are going to pound the users with shit no one wants. That was already happening, but it’s going to get worse.

My money is on Fuckerberg. At least he stays in shape with his billions. I don’t understand how Elon is so fat when he can pay people to literally put healthy food in his mouth like a baby.
