It’s a more formal way to dress. I had to wear uniforms with tucked in shirts as a kid in school. It’s also a normal requirement at jobs. Becomes habit.

And we’ll create this value by entering into a “who can slash more rights” contest with the USA and China! After giving them a several year head start!!

I’m joining you at the Horror House tonight. I’m free tonight, so I’m joining you at the Horror House.

Nazis: If you support LGBT you’re a pedophile. And we’re already coming for you.

People, for some fucking reason: Pedophiles get fucked, do what you want to them, erase them at any cost!!

“Please hold this paper target in front of your face while I shoot at it.”

“Sounds dangerous but I see you are aiming at the paper so I should be fine.”

I’m making fun of the juxtaposition of people that express frustration/animosity for Windows with the need to stay on Windows in order to consume cutting edge video games.

It gets to be comical. Something about the “height” difference. Like you have the giant “They’re taking away my ownership of my data and my very computer!” standing next to little old “But I like my raytracing.”

“My data is being exposed in the name of corporate AI!” next to “But I can’t play games with anticheat with my friends.” It’s funny. I’m going to laugh.

“Sucking off Bill Gates is bad, but Linux doesn’t support video games”

“People don’t want to work anymore.” in one hand. “Children can help fix the labor shortage.” in the other.

Just ways to beat people into submission with whatever words sound good in the moment.

As of March 2023, Pegasus operators were able to remotely install the spyware on iOS versions through 16.0.3 using a zero-click exploit. While the capabilities of Pegasus may vary over time due to software updates, Pegasus is generally capable of reading text messages, call snooping, collecting passwords, location tracking, accessing the target device’s microphone and camera, and harvesting information from apps.

This is consumer grade spyware built by Israeli intelligence and loaned out to just about everyone. It’s been around for a decade. Governments use this to hunt down activists and opposition party members.

This Signal leak is one hole in the colander. Sure, water will leak through that hole. But water will also leak through all the other holes. And the countries collecting that water have more than what NSO Group contracts out.

Everyone knows women are good at sex and any awkwardness is because men are bad at sex. Duh!!

And hire an Outsource Manager so you can farm out most grunt work to underpaid devs in other countries.

Retirement will mean when you can’t take it anymore, find the CEO, and make the cops respond to a double forced retirement.

That’s weird – we water our soil with nutrients like “there’s no point in voting”, “they’re all out to get us”, “politicians are shit”, “nothing changes”, “governments are bad”.

I wonder why people haven’t been motivated to fight. Whenever they express faith in our leaders, or institutions, or have any positivity, we’re quick to shut them down. But still.

I guess it comes down to who is willing to pay more to install a puppet president.

Taiwan is fucked.

I was thinking more along the lines of “install and play this free unity game while it siphons personal data off your computer and sends it back to epic servers”

They’re specifically getting something of value in return for the good or service and then claiming it’s free and that customers are not customers, merely “users.”

I don’t get how something is allowed to be labeled “free” when the terms of usage make you barter your data.

Looks like tiktok engagement bait. That will never work here! Oh…

Valve will let players (including kids) gamble on skins because it boosts player count. According to them.

Big publishers will still give you rewards for signing up somewhere, entering something, going to an arbitrary website and watching their stream, etc.

But for the small devs: you’re not allowed to even give a player a reward for watching an ad. The choice doesn’t even matter. It just can’t be done.

It’s a private corporation so Valve can do whatever they want though.

Say shit about Canada, our friends. Stoke anti America shit. Decrease odds of friendly relations.

Might as well.

Edit: not like people aren’t already talking, or woe is us, it’s just… bullshit. It’s like someone who hates Lincoln Park going up to people and making annoying statements about the band being the greatest and shitting on other music, hoping some people get mad and start trashing Lincoln Park. It’s a circus.
