  So Amazon can buy the data, know what we’re printing, steal the designs and make a product for it, capturing the market they only know existed by spying on us. Knowledge is power and I’d rather not further empower the psychopaths who are primarily responsible for the widespread reduction of our qol. But the idiot masses won’t give a fuck because they’re foolish and never think anything they want to do is bad.

  It’s exactly what monopolies and oligopolies end up doing, whatever is in their interest to do. If anti-trust laws were actually used to enforce competition, we wouldn’t be here. But since we can’t compete with the campaign donations of the companies those laws should be regulating, we get no regulation at all and end up here. Selfish people, being selfish, making everything worse for everyone else.

  This what corporate America and politicians do to us daily.

  And when we don’t he’ll just use AWS to make our PCs worse on the net than his cloud services?

  Well…yeah. we’re the only things left to hunt so the human hunting mosquitoes will do the best.

  Ever notice how much women love pickup lines and that they’re all basically dad jokes?

  Better be garlic bread cuz that shit is divine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta smart glasses pose a threat to women, campaigners say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Nobody else can talk if you don’t shut up about yourself.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta smart glasses pose a threat to women, campaigners say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no space in the conversation for some groups and that’s by intent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta smart glasses pose a threat to women, campaigners say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that how you keep yourself from caring about some groups?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They will shove ads into our faces at every possible opportunity. Ads work, they effectively brainwash you, the more you see, the better they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta smart glasses pose a threat to women, campaigners say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but some groups of people don’t matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It always starts with a woman complaining things aren’t always how she wants. There isn’t any better example of a gendered thing than when one genser seems to always be the one doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Men aren’t the ones complaining about seat position.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or course it is, not exclusively, but largely and often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They aren’t building things for our benefit, they’re building things for their benefit. All the idiots who gleefully bought devices with surveillance and tracking and data collection, normalized it. The masses showed them they can take from our private lives whatever they want and the masses of fucking morons will happily pay them to do it. Why the hell would they stop taking when the consumer market has lost any sense of caution?

  Just part of the lifecycle of every digital service.

  A rising tide drowns those who can’t swim.

  Or the PC market existing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How about you ship with it off by default and users can choose to turn it on? No? That won’t serve your corporate goals, will it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they already made all the games we ever need, would they start taking them away just so we have to buy new ones, instead? This is the future of steam when Gabe dies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The cultural equivalent of:

  “So what do you like to do?”

  “I like to have fun.”

  Part of me is glad the liabilities of trusting these companies with the history of your life are validated. If you don’t control access, you don’t own it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Australia's social media ban threatens free expression⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We stop kids from doing all kinds of things. Just because some prove difficult doesn’t make this impossible. We can code software to make the bottles not open but we can for any app on a digital device, especially smart phones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Australia's social media ban threatens free expression⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do the realists, believe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Impressive how quickly, and for no clear reason, enacting a mass access barrier to the Internet can be implemented by multiple nations all at the same time with little to ne debate or forewarning. What the fuck do they know that they aren’t telling us?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t even need to set any specifics, just flip the ‘not an adult’ option on and that’s it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Better for what? So they can indoctrinate kids into normalizing absolute government overreach and a further slide into a technofascist state?
