  And I treat this platform accordingly. There is no expectation of privacy here. You are a private as you choose to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The plan for nationwide fiber internet might be upended for Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, who needs fiber when you have an inferior product that will be worse in every calculable way?

  Pay no attention to the person who stands to benefit from this deal. There’s definitely nothing illegal about it.

  So what if the owner of Starlink just happened to spend a quarter of a billion dollars to get the current president elected? That surely has nothing to do with the abysmal Starlink service stealing away funding for critical infrastructure.

  I doubt this is news to most folks on the Fediverse, but don’t trust Twitter, Facebook, or any company whose business model is advertising to secure your private conversations.

  Even if they aren’t up to no good today, it is only a matter of time until they come for your messages.

  What AAA title is worth $80? The most time I spend gaming is in a 10 year old shooter, and an indie survival game. Both of which I bought for <$20.

  S tier efficiency. Only a stable genius could bring this level of efficiency which is definitely saving us money as long as nobody actually does the math.

  Microsoft accidentally made windows better in an update for the first time in years 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, because what the white house needs is an inferior ISP to plug the gaps that could easily be filled by proper wireless access point configuration and distribution.

  This is definitely not going to come back to haunt us later.

  I bet it conveniently comes with a contract for xai. By a complete coincidence and definitely not more criminal behavior.

  Nah I’m gonna tell them they best start looking for another job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They will, at best, mildly inconvenienced the pirates.

  God our government is so fucking useless for anything that might actually help people.

  Gotta launder that Russian money somehow. Now they can pay him more without having to make as many accounts.

  Facebook is 99% AI slop at this point. And they don’t care. It gets engagement, and that’s all they care about.
