Fleddit in June 2023. Was on kbin for a while but it’s been broken and janky lately, so I’m giving midwest.social a try now.

Broadcom continues to be a bunch of exploitative fucks, surprised pikachu.
- Comment on MKBHD is getting cancelled over $12/month wallpaper app, ad overload, and excessive permissions 1 month ago:
Canceled my ass. He’s getting some legitimate criticism about a wallpaper app, not being accused of raping someone.
- Comment on How the hell do I sign up for facebook? 2 months ago:
Marketplace was fantastic for buying and selling all sorts of stuff for years, but it is now plagued with fake listings and scams and all kinds of undesirable shit now. The scammers seem to have no problem whatsoever cranking out new accounts on the regular, and Facebook doesn’t seem to give a shit. Any time I report any of the scam listings I get a response from FB about 3 weeks later saying they did nothing wrong, so they took no action. Fuck Facebook.

I think the ones in that lot were sitting there waiting for recall work to be done before they could be delivered to
suckerscustomers. - Comment on [Retro Dodo]Google is killing Retro Dodo and Other Independent Sites 7 months ago:
While Google certainly has a lot of responsibility for how shit their search results have become and the effects they have on website operators, the SEO industry can all go eat a giant bag of dicks for being the driving force behind making search results worthless trash.
- Comment on Electric cars will be cheaper to make than gas vehicles but with much higher repair and insurance costs 8 months ago:
The feasibility of that will be highly variable depending on where you live. Much of America is a public transit desert.

- Comment on Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption 9 months ago:
I have real time pricing from my utility. It works out well because we charge 2 electric cars overnight for a fraction of what they would cost to charge at the standard fixed kilowatt-hour rate. My house is heated by natural gas; I don’t think the savings would be there if I also was heating my house with electricity as I live in the midwest, where it gets cold as fuck for the winter.
