Watching it now, I am pretty sure I know most the history but there is always more to learn. Thanks!

Yo, that is my sequence of 0’s and 1’s is how ridiculous it all is in the digital era. Not to mention I have to pay for and maintain the hardware to even access the content.
I also have a hard time understanding the self imposed artificial scarcity we live with. Copying work/art/ideas/science is literally the point of humanity. We are truly living in a perverse time where corporations steal our culture and spoon feed it back to us for profit and control.

I love our spiderman meme culture where everyone is pointing their fingers at each other accusing them of stealing their idea/song/art/etc.
I can never understand how people carry so much water for corporations who could care less about them. We are supposed to rearrange our entire society around their revenue streams.

- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 5 days ago:
Taking this a tad bit personally I see. I was just commenting on the conversation. I don’t speak for any community.
Your definitely a bit of wanker to be honest.
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 5 days ago:
There is a philosophical difference using Open Source software. To compare it to religion is pretty shitty honestly, even if you find it amusing. Linux is not faith it is logic.
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 5 days ago:
Honestly, I am getting a bit tired of Windows (which is pretty much adware garbage at this point) being the only mainstream OS for laptops and desktops.
I am also extremely tired of half-assed status quo defenders like you that always say, “people just aren’t ready”. This is clearly a disingenuous argument born out of a ignorance and apathy.
Lemmy clearly has a Linux slant just as Reddit did before all the Winblows people did exactly what you are doing now. So respectfully get bent.
I find your comments particularly hollow on regards to UI changes as Microsoft is the most guilty party ever for changing the interface and forcing people to relearn everything (hello ribbon bar, Windows 8, Windows 11 lack of start bar configurations, and of course constantly changing where settings are located).
The only cult that is proselytizing is Windows bootlicking losers. The fact that Linux users are passionate about the superiority of owning your software and not giving your money and personal information to a corporation that will sell you out in a second is just common sense.

- Comment on Microsoft starts final Windows Recall testing before rollout 1 week ago:
Imagine paying for a surveillance machine that takes pictures and records everything you do ready to regurgitate it to anyone who asks. The fact that anyone sees this as anything other than dystopian is a bridge to far for me.

The world would be better off without IP law, but I doubt these bozos know that includes trademark.

Clownonomics by the clownministration.
- Comment on Ex-Meta exec tells Senate Zuck dangled US citizen data in bid to enter China 2 weeks ago:
First we find out Microsoft is participating in genocide and now we find out Facebook has betrayed the US for more money. Can these corporations sink any lower?
- Comment on Panic! on the trade floor 2 weeks ago:
The boom bust cycle is a feature of how we do capitalism in the US. It is related to an unsustainable growth mindset.
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 3 weeks ago:
Microsoft will sell US citizens out in a second when the government tells them to. They will use their AI to round us up without batting an eye. They can not be trusted anymore.
Microsoft is now a threat to democracy and human existence. They are already working against us with governments. This is the tipping point that no one will hear about.
There is too much at stake and they are too big to fail. The government will viciously take down anyone spreading the truth. Continuing to support Microsoft is now a death sentence to democracy.

Only concentrate on the illegal stuff we are doing right now and forget about all the illegal stuff we did in the past.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 5 weeks ago:
Now is the time to push for new privacy laws and limits on advertising and the use of public relations in media. The path of the US is an illustration on what not to do.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 5 weeks ago:
I think you are missing the point. Media is controlling the narrative and purposely ignoring the protests. We have twice as many people protesting right now compared to the peak of the defund the police movement.
They could get a shit ton of clicks by covering protests. This isn’t about random event not being cohesive enough or algorithms ignoring events. It is purposeful manipulation by are newly minted ruling class under Donald Cuck.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 5 weeks ago:
They already took over social media, that was the final push that put a literal conman back in the Whitehouse.

The arms dealers love this one funny trick.
- Comment on Don't ya know, guns can just ✨ magically appear✨ so any attempt to ban them is impossible. Dumb liberalssss tryna to take away my GOD GIVEN right to murder people!!11! 1 month ago:
The problem is we only have about two times the amount of guns compared to our population. We need to get up a ten to one ratio of guns to people to fix our problems.
Think of the shareholders! If we don’t keep buying new guns at a breakneck pace they won’t have infinite growth. We need to arm both sides in every conflict including our own. It is just what we do.

- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 2 months ago:
The point of no return was when a bunch of wealthy slavers decided to create a country by and for themselves. Everything else is just projection and propaganda.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 2 months ago:
Wow, I decided I would give MBFC a shot. You are greeted with an ad-infested experience with a giant start bar reminiscent of a malware site. After building up enough courage to click it I discovered it not only wanted my email but also my credit card.
After having to fight to see the article I wanted rated I just don’t have the fortitude to the fight this horrible experience to probably be told that the following article is left center or left leaning bias.
While I will admit this was a not Fox News praising the Trump Admin, it has an extremely neutral tone and does nothing to pushback against the obviously clownish message that the Trump team provides.
For this reason it, is to me at least, right leaning. I guess I will never know what MBFC would rate it.
- Comment on Teenagers turning to AI companions are redefining love as easy, unconditional and always there. 2 months ago:
I can only imagine how insidious this is going to turn in the future. People will undoubtedly use this technology to violate humans in ways we have never even thought of.
Allowing a corporation to control the only thing that person feels love for is a recipe for disaster.
People need connections with other people. This is the antitheses to this need.
- Comment on Hate speech on X surged for at least 8 months after Elon Musk takeover – new research. 2 months ago:
I am sorry, but this is a really dumb take. For instance Elon Musk is just one guy but his tweets are boosted straight to the top. The amount of increase is secondary to the amount of exposure.
Maybe there are not a ton of hate mongers out their after all, but if the algorithm pushes them to the top it does not matter. The devil is always in the details.
