Whoooooooosh

They left out 86 and the more recent variant 8647

I feel like Flock Cameras would describe a random individuals walk home from work the same way Andy Samberg does in the music video “Like a Boss”.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
Technically yes but actually no.
The servers are still in Beijing at this moment, these actions were taken by the Chinese.

- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
It always has been.
The servers are still in Beijing, the changeover hasn’t happened yet.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
Still Chinese, actually, the sale is being finalized but the servers are still in Beijing currently.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
It still isn’t, server change hasn’t taken place yet.
It was always the same type of scum or worse.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
Technically it hasn’t been switched over yet, the Chinese still run it.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
Ah, my bad, I thought your expressed confusion was genuine.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
You said
These are the worst Fascists ever.
But very technically speaking fascism is a right wing autocracy while (supposed) communism such as the ones who made and operate TikTok claim to be “left-wing” autocracy.
Its purely semantics and a difference without distinction, but I wanted to make sure we weren’t absolving the CCP of this crime because a lot of comments on this post are attempting to do exactly that and shift blame to the new owners who don’t actually have the algorithm yet.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
China also doesn’t have to let the future new owners give them orders before the changeover.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
I mentioned China because somebody was spreading misinformation about their involvement and responsibility for this crime.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 1 week ago:
I think the biggest issue people have with it is if you can’t trust a company not to shill AI then you also can’t trust them not to train it on you.
It’s just a bottom line trust issue, regardless of actual features or capability.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
Hard to say. Even when elections happen it will be hard to say if those elections represented the views of the people.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
Technically, the Chinese dictatorship claims to be the communist flavor of autocracy.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
The ownership and server location changes haven’t taken effect, yet. The Chinese dictatorship have always been in Trump’s corner.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
The server move hasn’t happened yet. This is TikTok doing what TikTok does because they, the Chinese Dictatorship, have always and will always support the Trump regime.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
Either the privacy browsers will use the money to develop the open source GECKO engine thenselves or they will be the sole source of users and therefor both directly and indirectly funding to Firefox: they will have negotiating power.
Currently their biggest contributors are Google and likely some AI tech bros, so that’s who they’re going to listen to.
Empowering Librewolf and Waterfox is like the Union owning Franchises, if we’re still sticking to your absolutely ridiculous analogy.
TLDR Version
They can and will continue to make browsers if we fund them. The GECKO engine was open sourced.
- Comment on Kevin McCallister and [redacted] 1 week ago:
It’s crazy that compared to this the OJ Simpson scenes in Naked Gun series, including his portrait in the reboot, are still in good taste.
I wish we didn’t live in this timeline.
- Comment on Doctor ‘Strangled’ by Police Officer Until She Passed Out at Hunger Strike Protest 2 weeks ago:
Well maybe go start your own post and comment chain because mines about the protests, asshole.
- Comment on Doctor ‘Strangled’ by Police Officer Until She Passed Out at Hunger Strike Protest 2 weeks ago:
Yeah good fucking luck with accomplishing that after a single protest of police brutality.
- Comment on Doctor ‘Strangled’ by Police Officer Until She Passed Out at Hunger Strike Protest 2 weeks ago:
Make a George Floyd happen. Make the royals trapped in the palace.
- Comment on China Has Reportedly Built Its First EUV Machine Prototype, Marking a Semiconductor Breakthrough the U.S. Has Feared All Along 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t China also claimed a lot of impossible tasks like Cold Fusion, cure for cancer, and breaking most modern encryptions?
Might want to remain skeptical for now.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 2 weeks ago:
I think I actually nailed that response, the only way you could see it as lacking is if you were trying to forcefully inject preconceived like “local joint good, door dash bad” into a situation where the “local joint” is a corporate entity shilling AI and “door dash” as an open source community project.
- Comment on This is why we can't have nice things 2 weeks ago:
Is the corn supposed to be political?
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 2 weeks ago:
$burger-joint should have thought about that before making Door Dash the only usable ordering method, cramming AI into their lobby.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 2 weeks ago:
You’re right, we should be giving money to Librewolf and Waterfox.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 2 weeks ago:
I like to imagine that these CEOs just get like a million AI emails a day from alt accounts of Sam Altman begging them to put AI in everything and they’re all too stupud to realize it.

Honestly such a cool name wasted on a platform maintained by Tankies.
