Why not?! We’ve already decided corporations are people, and people are not people; this is just par for the fucking course.
Goddamnit.

- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 4 days ago:
I’m not implying anything. I’m outright saying. That the US government is corrupt enough to take kickbacks by corporations for political favors. I’m also saying Zuck didn’t bribe Trump’s admin enough (i.e. donations to his inaugural fund) to get away with their bullshit.

- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 5 days ago:
The only crime he committed was not bribing the Trump administration enough to stay off the anti-trust radar. I hope they burn it all to the ground.

- Comment on CVE Board members launch the CVE Foundation, a dedicated, non-profit to continue identifying vulnerabilities, after the US ended its contract with Mitre 6 days ago:
Distribution, decentralization… those ideas only serve to add unnecessary complexity to a sensitive and critical infrastructure. Instead of tweeting the baby with the bathwater, let’s work toward making these institutions not rely on or be beholden to governments. Anything else is a poor man’s Band-Aid to the problem.
FWIW, I agree with your concerns, but not the proposed solutions. Regardless, these are the types of discussions we all should be having for our critical infrastructure.

Decentralizing a foundation such as CVE would do more harm than good. For things like git or the fediverse it makes perfect sense, but the last thing I want something like the CVE to be is fragmented. We need a single source of truth for this.
Now setting up a non-profit foundation and cutting dependence with governments is a good thing, but it’s not the same as decentralized.

You’re low key proving my point about how people think.

It’s not about them actually being the same.
What @lowleekun@ani.social is saying is that no one sees themselves as the bad guy, regardless of what their opponents think.

Yep, you are 💯 correct that this is what they did. Regardless of industry, is why unions are so very important. “At Will” employment is too easily abused, and even if this could somehow be considered a wrongful termination (ANAL, but protesting a company’s social-political viewpoints is not protected like gender, age, race, etc are) it can be costly and time-consuming to fight it in courts by yourself.
- Comment on I wonder how many male, middle aged US filmmakers regularly call it a "director's cut" when carving up the thanksgiving turkey for their family. 2 weeks ago:
I think dad-jokes are by their nature unfortunately limited to the group I have described. Every other kind of person makes them, they’re just common bad jokes.
I am going to have to disagree with you there. Dad jokes is an entire genre of jokes in and of itself. It transcends age and gender; it’s all about the attitude.
Check out Mom’s Dad Jokes on Instagram to see what I mean.
Also, my 10-year-old son loves telling dad jokes. He hates when I tell dad jokes, but he loves telling them.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 weeks ago:
And unfortunately until the community puts their collective foot down, these game developers (Nintendo, EA, etc) will continue churning out dog shit.

You know what else hasn’t kept up with inflation? Wages.
So before you go espousing raising prices, let’s first make it so people can afford the higher costs.

Let’s please not discuss if capitalism is good.
Brings up the “merits” of capitalism, but refuses to discuss the “merits” of capitalism.
It’s just the way it is.
Yeah, it’s because have this mentality that it’s this way.
Btw: capitalism is a plague on society and has done nothing but ruin the things we (consumers) hold dear, because capitalism stifles innovation and wrings whatever blood from a turnip it can.

Unpopular opinion:
They could probably charge $100 and people would still buy them, despite knowing the games aren’t worth that much. Consumers don’t really care; they just want their dopamine fixes. Nintendo could wrap a literal turd up and label it the next Zelda game, and people would bum rush stores with fistfuls of money to buy it; just because.
- Comment on The illegal party drug helping Ukraine’s traumatised soldiers live again 2 weeks ago:
There’s a solution for this: decriminalize ketamine and approve it for therapeutic use. The it’s no longer an “illegal party drug”, and instead it’d be “ptsd and other mental health treatment”.

As a Mac user, I like Time Machine for backups. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. There is a Linux version.

Much to the chagrin of both manufacturers, the company providing the labels for both SawStop and SawStart got mixed up and no one noticed. That is, until the calls started coming in.
