Nothing weird about it. End of the world seems within our sights. Perfect time to pick up a self-destructive habit, imo 😅
For real though, i quit a few years back and it’s been such a game-changer. I also chalk the fact that i did something positive and healthy as the reason why we seem to be nearing a potential ‘end-of-world’ scenario. If i just would have continued suckin down those cancer sticks we would likely be in a much better position, globally. Sorry guys 😬

This really seems to be the direction that any successful venture eventually turns into: a vehicle for rich investors to insert their control and their ideas for the sake of turning out more profit for themselves. It’s never about making a better product or making it more affordable or accessible–it’s never about improving anything if it doesn’t satisfy the demands of someone with money that came along and bought enough stock in the company to take charge of it.
I have wondered about that in the past, how a small company goes public and picks up funding from a billionaire. Now he sits in his little office running his little company with 2 guys in black suits and sunglasses watching their every move. I just don’t get the warm and fuzzies when i think of capitalism anymore. To succeed puts you in league with some unbelievably ruthless and selfish people.

we absolutely shouldn’t buy things through Amazon or any of the other web stores Amazon owns.
I try to use eBay as an alternative, though i find every 3-4 orders i place there, i get one in an Amazon box that by all rights appears to have been shipped by Amazon. I swear people are drop-shipping stuff from Amazon to their eBay buyers.

- Comment on noyb win: Microsoft ordered to stop tracking school children 4 months ago:
Why aren’t there harsher penalties for behavior like this? They’re given 4 weeks to comply, and then all is fine as long as they stop? Seems like the message they’re sending is “you can track our kids, just be more careful not to get caught next time… If you do, you can at least rest assured that there’s no real punishment”

Interesting! I was under the impression all data centers were causing similar problems, but leave it to the X Man to go the extra mile to really fuck things up. That piece of shit has unlimited money and still pulls shit like this.
Just to add to what you said, it appears Musk is in violation of EPA standards and they may be doing something about it: techspot.com/…/110971-epa-shuts-down-xai-off-grid…

Gotta love this whole schtick, “oopsie! We weren’t careful enough with your personal info–here’s a voucher for free protection after the fact, because we failed to provide it to you when it mattered”
…and that’s it! Business as usual after nearly a million people have their personal info compromised. As long as this is the punishment, it’s simply a business expense at worst.

Some of my all-time favorite music. They are a massive influence in my taste in music…It had never occurred to me that nostalgia could be induced by ‘foreign’ (unfamiliar may be the better words) music, and for a place/time that may never have even existed or may be misremembered or jumbled with other memories. It’s strange what music can do, how it can make you feel, think, see… They also showed me how ominous electronic music can sound, how much of a landscape can be painted with sound. I love all their albums, and getting to experience the release of Tomorrow’s Harvest was a treat.
This is the second time I’ve seen BoC pop up in the past 2 days. I swear, the one good thing that’s come about in the past couple years has been this place. Thank you all for being here and participating!
