  Bait and switch is every tech companies modus operandi. Whether it’s injecting ads, or disabling an entire feature-set, the point is to build your dependence so they can amp up the value extraction and fuck you as hard as possible, without losing your money or attention.

  Being wrong won’t stop them from trying fascism again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, AI therapy is more likely to harm their mental health, up to encouraging suicide (as certain cases have already shown).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New BoM website has rolled out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile the BOM app is far less accurate than Apple weather; often laughably so. They should focus their efforts on improving their data and modeling instead of superficial shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Health funding is one of our trickiest issues – here’s a politically sweet fix⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Corporate dictatorship, masquerading as “democracy”.

  They are smarter than at least 1/3 of American adults.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israeli guards stripped and filmed Thunberg naked, wrote 'whore' on her luggage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We already know how they treat Palestinians. They mass murder them. They rape them until they need hospitalization. They destroy their schools and hospitals. They lie about all of it, and try to frame themselves as the “goodies”.

  We already know what the Israeli public think of this. They storm their own military bases — engage in domestic terrorism — in defense of their war criminals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian rainforests no longer a carbon sink: study⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But all of our climate models were dependent on the earths natural processes doing the heavy lifting, so that we could continue doing the bare minimum unabated?

  Could this mean that the “most likely” 1.5-2c trajectory determined by the best and brightest fossil fuel states is actually really a 3-4c, billions will die, scenario?

  Don’t worry, though. Future generations can suffer in the solace that “nobody could have predicted this”.

  The capitalism will continue until morale improves

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sell all your data to the Christian corporate fascist dictatorship, so they can use it to wage psychological and economic warfare on a global scale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spyware maker NSO Group confirms acquisition by US investors⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The corporate fascist dictatorship is converting surveillance capitalism into big brother before our very eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nato weighs armed response to Vladimir Putin’s hybrid war such as easing restrictions on pilots opening fire on Russian aircraft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do it already you gaggle of oligarch sucking cucks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their blog implied you would need to create a separate sync account for each profile. It’d obviously be better if you could choose which profiles are linked to which account, in addition to local only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It would be hilarious if, one day, the Nobel Peace Prize was decided by no rules cage fight. Pay per view, of course.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They gave it to Kissinger after a decade of firebombing South East Asia, murdering a million peasants who only wanted a plot of land to grow rice after a century of French colonial dictatorship, denying the Vietnamese people their basic human right to democracy the entire god damn time.

  That was over 5 decades ago. The prize is a joke, decided by oligarchs who are not like us, and do not stand for peace… always has been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can we now "safely" auto upgrade immich?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the point. De-anonymize everyone for surveillance capitalism.

  The “think of the children” argument should never be taken in good faith. It’s a trojan horse for authoritarians to destroy your rights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over a dozen Australian suncreams pulled over safety concerns⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how you know you live in a corporate dictatorship.

  1. The regulatory bodies don’t actually test anything. They just let corporations self-report based on an honor system, until enough people die or some “consumer advocacy group” does the testing they should’ve been doing all along.

  2. The management of corporations endangering public health never have to quiet about jail, or even a punitive fine that could actually impact investors. The entire capitalist justice system treats capitalist criminals as “boys will be boys” (“capitalists will be capitalists”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to manage docker compose apps?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And if you roll all your dockers on ZFS as datasets + sanoid you can just rollback to the last snapshot, if that ever does happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure thing, buddy. Nice gate keeping high horse ya got there. Do you also use Arch, btw?

  “If you don’t spend hundreds of hours switching from big tech corp controlled platform A — you’ve used for almost 20 years — to switch to big tech corp controlled platform B, you obviously don’t support freedom and open source”

  I actually contribute to the development of open source projects. Do you create/give value? Or are you just a taker/user?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I didn’t bother switching to GOS, Lineage, Calyx etc despite being sick of Apple’s anti-foss monopoly — marketed as Privacy™️ and Security™️ — for years.

  The late stage capitalism of western oligarchies indicated that Google’s rug pull of AOSP was an imminent inevitability. After already having to change my services and workflows multiple times over the last 2 decades — despite careful analysis and forethought — due to services ever changing value propositions, acquisitions, and all other forms of enshittification, I’m at the point where I won’t bother wasting energy on 99% of digital products unless they’re open source and I can run them indefinitely on my own Linux server.

  The more dependent you grow on digital products, the more interdependent they become, and the more time and effort is required to replace or substitute them.

  This would almost make sense if there weren’t thousands of corporations, and 8 billion other humans, doing whatever the fuck they want…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK How to opt out of LinkedIn using your profile to train generative AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because we live in corporate dictatorships with the illusion of “democracy”.

  Wait until you find out how most regulations are enforced by “self-reporting”… the honor system, lol.

  He’s a Russian asset with dementia, shepherded by a mentally ill, psychopathic, Christian Taliban.

  This is the best they can do. Either way, Ji and Putin win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Arizona law to restrict online porn access; Pornhub will block state⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  She is acting on behalf of lobbyists. That’s how America got to this stage. Lobbyist lawyers and marketers write laws that benefit them, and they “donate” to politicians to pass that legislation.

  The only politicians who actually read anything they vote on are leftists like Bernie and AOC; everyone else is doing what their financiers tell them to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'America is not happy': ABC under fire for pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Conservatism can’t survive once a highly educated populace reaches a certain threshold of average intelligence. They knew that, and they took it personally.
