I’m getting real tired of all this capitalist apologism, as though they don’t own our politician class and aren’t directly behind both de-anonimization and anti-encryption leglislation.
All you have to do is follow the fucking money and power behind surveillance capitalism.

- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 1 day ago:
This would already be illegal if we didn’t live in corporate dictatorships.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 2 days ago:
Fuck it. Force them from release sate. There’s no reason for them to dictate what you can and cannot run on the hardware you purchase. If they can’t compete by providing a better OS or software, and must rely on anti-competitive models to profit, then they don’t deserve to waste the planets resources.

- Comment on SBS resists calls to join EU boycott of Eurovision 2026 if Israel allowed to compete | SBS | The Guardian 2 days ago:
Because we live in capitalist dictatorships and Israel commands a huge amount of capital, with pro-genocide cronies across the leadership of most western economies.
- Comment on Michigan GOP Lawmakers Propose Total Ban on Porn 4 days ago:
All of project 2025 is the fascist declaration of war. When the heritage foundation architect said “the revolution will be bloodless, if the left allow it” he meant they will murder everyone who opposes their Christian fascist dictatorship.

What a bargain!

Would ya look at that. Everything left of fascism is now leftist. Nobody could’ve seen this coming.

- Comment on US Navy SEALs killed North Korean civilians during botched mission: Report 1 week ago:
After the war crimes I’ve read about, the reality of “special forces” is basically the government spending hundreds of millions training psychopaths to be the most efficient killing machines, giving them state sanctioned immunity, and opportunities to kill.
- Comment on US Navy SEALs killed North Korean civilians during botched mission: Report 1 week ago:
It’s a tale as old as America. America killed tens of thousands to steal California etc from Mexico. They killed over a million Vietnamese peasant farmers, to defend French colonialism, then surrendered (lol).
The amount of money both “conservatives” and neoliberals embezzled for weapons manufacturers during the war on terror could’ve linked every US city with bullet trains.
The emperor never had any clothes, has always been a capitalist dictatorship, and Trump’s depravity is just continued accelerationism of an imperialist superpower collapsing under the weigh of its own corruption.
- Comment on Google deletes net-zero pledge from sustainability website 2 weeks ago:
We won’t stop burning fossil fuels until it’s illegal and militaries use force to destroy all extraction facilities, just like we won’t reduce our plastic consumption until it’s heavily restricted.
I’ve believed that for 20 years, and I believe it now more than ever. We’re decades away from either being a foreseeable course of action.
- Comment on The line between what is ai and what is programming will be very blurred in the future 2 weeks ago:
In the not too distant future…
NPC: “ChatGPT told me I got ghosts in my blood and I better inject bleach bout it”
AI Corpo: “thankfully, no human programmed it to respond with that, so we are not liable”
Fascist court: “NPC’s family must pay AI Corpo damages for negative publicity”
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, storage/bandwidth is the overall limiting factor regardless for 8k. Also, most peoples xp with 4k is streaming, so there would likely be 100x more of a market for increasing bitrate from the current “compressed as all fuck” up to 4k Bluray bitrate, before anyone cares about 8k… but of course, that isn’t something that TV manufacturers can control or use to sell more products.
- Comment on “It’s Wednesday, my dudes.” 2 weeks ago:
AI or real?
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 2 weeks ago:
The real reason for lack of interest is streaming quality of 4k has been getting worse for years, and is still like 1/10th the quality of 4k BluRay, with enormous levels of compression and artifacts.
8k requires 4x the data. We all know that means every subscription would charge at least 2x more to maintain profit margins of unlimited growth for vulture capitalism, and they’d skimp on the extra data too; leaving users with nothing better than the current 4k.

- Comment on Anti-immigration rallies held across Australia as clashes break out in Adelaide and Melbourne 2 weeks ago:
15k was the largest, so just a small bunch of luddites so far… that will grow larger as the US and billionaires continue their fascist culture wars, and our corporate-whore government continue to sow the seeds for fascism through the destruction of the working classes economic and housing security.

There is no < 5c, so no. Technically the .99 should be illegal as it’s impossible, and they’re basically stealing 1c.
- Comment on Bluesky now platform of choice for science community 3 weeks ago:
Why is all of scientific research locked behind paywalls instead of some open source scientist-built system?
Because like most people, they’re just trying to get by with the least amount of effort. Structural change is hard and risky.
- Comment on US spies stoked separatism in Greenland, Denmark says 3 weeks ago:
This is what the world is failing to realize. The Christian fascist mental illness is a cancer. It is terminal to a just and fair society.
They will not stop once all enemies have been eliminated domestically. They have been waging their fascist culture wars globally simultaneously the entire time. As soon as they rule the USA, they will turn to global domination. Whether they can seize power through political corruption or war is up to each and every country to decide.
- Comment on If conditions on earth are perfect for life to form shouldn't have happened more than once? 3 weeks ago:
And there’s a good chance that other life would be chemically or structurally similar, so without DNA evidence we’d confuse it’s fossils with others (see Prototaxites).
Also, maybe life does reoccur relatively frequently, but is killed by existing bacteria, viruses, bacteriophage… again, for being too chemically/structurally similar to the existing life.
