What I’m disagreeing with is the supreme court not going “fuck off, you petty time wasting freaks”.
Because the real world is significantly more complicated than we imagine. Yes, it’s infuriating.

Link shortening, as a different example. Thankfully it finally sort of died. Pre-loading is another. Tiktok is uploading before the file is saved, is another.

Discord probably did the math and are willing to take a hit to the user counts
I very much doubt whoever thought about doing the math did so, and if they did, that said math made it out of their department. This kind of decision is much more likely to have been a C-suite darling that no one dared speak against or the equivalent thereof.
I’m saying thoughtful organizational decisions are less common than we’d like.

That’s true. And the reason is most people - still, in 2026 - can’t figure out how computers work. Not that they try to. It’s a low-level social madness that causes catastrophic global changes.

Not if I read it correctly: not uploading anything (and fuck you Discord) means I won’t get invited to view adult content, right? That’s it? And we’ll all be teens forever?
Pfft. Whatever.

Ever since they hired a cop to develop copware and their social media genius told us to go fuck ourselves (and their non-apology) they’ve been dead.

ICE also uses AI-powered apps to analyze social media activity and other digital data points to create “life profiles” for people of interest.
The agency has spent at least $5 million on Tangles, a sophisticated tool developed by a company with ties to Israel’s cyber-intelligence community, Forbes reported in September. Tangles mines social media posts, event sign-ups, mobile contacts, location data and more to create nuanced individual portraits and tease out patterns of activity — including organizing and protest — in specific places.
This has always been the goal of facebook. Everything like it falls in that bucket. For the eleventy billionth time, Get the fuck off of them.
- Comment on I worked some prison and jails. They always put this big heavy green thing on you if your on suicide or solitary watch. My question is if Epstein was on watch then how did he suicide? 1 week ago:
They did, just not for the window of time he “hung himself”. Oh and the camera didn’t cover an area where people could walk from the stairs to his cell and back. And he had just gotten off the phone with one of his girlfriends in Belarus.
Just coincidence though.

- Comment on Finland's Ministry of Justice is considering halting its plans to start using US-hosted cloud services 1 week ago:
Imagine being the person in the Finland Ministry of Justice who’s been railing on about this for years and constantly getting shit on by idiot managers who can’t install (or use) their own software. Watch it make the national news and then they decide to go ahead and use AWS anyway.
I’m pretty sure a lot of us are that person.
- Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained 1 week ago:
OpenAI has made about $1.4 trillion in commitments to procure both the energy and compute it needs to fuel its operations. But its revenue barely crossed $20 billion in 2025.
Investors are increasingly critical of what they describe as “circular” deals involving the industry’s biggest players. On Wednesday evening, The Information reported that OpenAI is seeking a fresh $60 billion in funding from heavyweights like Nvidia and Amazon. However, market reaction suggests that more capital isn’t going to be a viable substitute for a business model anymore. “Maybe Oracle stock got way ahead of fundamentals, and now the market’s saying, ‘All right, show me, I want to see it,’” Eric Diton, president of the Wealth Alliance, told**Yahoo Finance.
