- Comment on Microsoft is killing its “free” VPN with Microsoft 365 subscriptions, just days after increasing prices 2 months ago:
They departed the competitive approach long ago. Now they’re just taking the desperate or the involuntarily dependent for all they can. Those types who went full MS for an ecosystem just don’t have any alternative.

Why did the name get changed? U.S.A. needed another ego stroke? Our public perception of nonstop ego-masturbation slowing down?
- Comment on FCC demands CBS provide unedited transcript of Kamala Harris interview 2 months ago:
Media bias? Always has been some. So I eagerly await when will Fux Nuze get raked over the coals? Because they’re the biggest propaganda mill of horse shit and bigoted fear mongering on the planet. Oh yeah, they won’t be scrutinised; they’re loyalist.
The Pig is going to run the white house with tyranny and turn the country into a combo of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Already hit the ground running.
All people and agencies, companies and individuals need to RESIST. There’s no fortune to enjoy at the end of the rainbow if you cooperate, no matter who you are.
This is what fucking happens when kids can pass through school without having to learn and remember history. No child left behind … so that no adult will have a brain.

I wish I didn’t ever need google but unfortunately sucksuckgo has been getting worse and worse.
- Comment on Google begins requiring JavaScript for Google Search 2 months ago:
Seriously, that’s such an absurd statement. It implies that the client-side affects the actual results.
I think their system just makes more money with sponsored gimmicks they might be enhancing.

Nope, just informative to the extent I could be.
- Comment on Has the USA turned into an oligarchy? 2 months ago:
“Look it up” is not an argument, it’s a suggested course of action. I explained my point and then suggested you look it up in order to see it more elaborated and supported.
I wasn’t aware there was an argument taking place; certainly not one involving me.
- Comment on Has the USA turned into an oligarchy? 2 months ago:
By demonstrating the facts which make the system meet the definition. Look it up there’s plenty of articles citing studies. Someone else linked a major one here.

- Comment on Cable ISPs compare data caps to food menus: Don’t make us offer unlimited soup 3 months ago:
It’s all greed. It’s been a while since this was discussed as far as I know, but wasn’t there talk about making Internet service into a utility and be regulated like the power and water companies? There should be a flat fee and that’s it. None of this tiered or capped bullshit. It’s alllllllll pure insatiable greed.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 3 months ago:
Personally, I’m hoping this is just a start. I’d like to see every evil ceo taken out.

- Comment on Meta says it’s mistakenly moderating too much 4 months ago:
They’ve publicly admitted to conducting harmful social experiments and they said “oh weee sowwwy.” Why they weren’t fined $1B is beyond me. Oh wait… it’s because they’re Big Brother’s first line of recon.
