- Comment on Big Tech or Big Threat? Google’s Ukraine Military Ties Exposed 1 week ago:
Well tell them to get out of land they don’t belong in (which they invaded first with a “special military operation”) and switch to using Yandex maps.
US cried about Chinese phone companies (only we can spy on our citizens) and made them illegal (free market and all) so why doesn’t Russia do the same if its such a security threat?
Why are their embassies still using Google Maps and shit?

“Disinformation”
Ahhh ok I see now.
So who do you think should be in charge of that?
Who do we make “the good guys” that get to tell me the information I need to see. USA, CCP, Israel, Russia?
Fuck that shit. I don’t trust a god damn one of them and if you do then your opinions on regulating the internet don’t mean shit to me.
- Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display 1 week ago:
Well don’t worry your brand new Dodge will last about 5-7 years max.
They’re truly horrible horrible machines. GMC is about the only American brand worth anything and even they suck now.
Honda and Toyota is the way to go anything else and you’re just wasting money.
Sucks they don’t have super duty trucks for people that need those like hot shotters though.

- Comment on As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 2 weeks ago:
Yes it is! And this article is written about States being in the United States and how its affecting that infrastructure.
Trust me, I know shit is better everywhere else. My comments are about the current state of USA electricity and how its being affected by the content in this article. Which takes place in the USA.
I’m sure in the land where they actually care about people its different.

Ok so 400 different providers lets me know you’re not in the USA then.
That’s where this article is written about
- Comment on Sony says it’s not done making Xperia phones just yet 2 weeks ago:
I agree with anti cheat in video games. 100% spyware designed as video games. I always install games like that on my PlayStation(lol)
However, the united states government did the Alabama Syphilis Experiment (that they like to refer to as the town it was in, Tuskegee so you think it was some far off place when you look at the name) and I straight up wouldn’t ever trust their ass again either. (Shit, MK Ultra, Agent Orange the verified list goes on and on)
Different situation for sure, but same energy. The lack of caring and lack of any repercussions cause these types of things to happen over and over again.
Sony definitely knew what was going on during that shit. They were pissed that you’d burn your friends CD and get to sell copies of it at school and shit.
And yes I do use a PlayStation only as a anti cheat gaming device and would never put any information into it I wouldn’t want 800+ companies to know about. They get hacked all the fucking time so I have a card that doesn’t even work as the payment method listed and just use gift cards.
Because I don’t trust them all the way. And that rootkit bullshit will always be why. You make it sound like they didn’t know. No sir, check out the wiki and all the bullshit covering up of it they tried to do.

Oh don’t worry, with Sony’s history I’m sure it’ll be around $2500

Straight up its like the shithole of western countries.
Although UK and USA are catching up
- Comment on Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams 2 weeks ago:
They tried bitcoin. And also fraud was a concern too.
With Monero, fees are minimal and there’s no possible way to prove fraud thus if you KYCd youd be breaking no laws and it would work quite well. The volatility is still a factor though for sure.
Stablecoins exist but ETH also has large fees at certain times like btc so and other chains like Polygon are trash and not as secure.
Volatility is a factor, but using a different crypto than Bitcoin is necessary to avoid high fees and stolen coins
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
You mean that annoying shit they do where I’m trying to move one tab and it puts it in a colored square with some bullshit?
Yeah there was NO WAY TO AVOID THAT. It straight up did that shit on its own. Like literally it almost magnetically attracted itself to the other tab to pull this shit. It effectively activates it for you this way whether you want it or not.
Man even Firefox is starting to shit the bed with their decision making.
- Comment on Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams 2 weeks ago:
Is it possible for us the people to do it then? How do you organize something like a class action lawsuit against a big player like that?
They JUST finished paying out the 5.5 Billion in a class action lawsuit they’ve already lost before so we can for sure do it again, right?

Yupp just like every single other aspect of our living here our lives have been made worse to protect the interests of large corporations.
Land of the free, and all that.

“When capacity goes up prices will come back down”
Loooooool. I know that’s how its supposed to work but you’re mistaken if you think that they will ever decrease the price. That almost never ever happens.
My electric company (which is the only one in my area) even started fucking mining bitcoin and they hit us with a surge pricing model charging us even more for the electricity we use not only during daytime but also during summer. I’m sure they say some bullshit about capacity loads or whatever.
They sure got enough capacity to mine the fuck out of that bitcoin though.
Greedy fucks, all of them.
- Comment on As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 2 weeks ago:
Places like data centers don’t pay the same rate that individuals do though. They get an industrial rate.
Basically they cut them a break so they can fuck you. The supply is more More than enough and the only demand that increased was from corporate interests.
- Comment on As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 2 weeks ago:
It makes sense if you’re a greedy piece of shit that values corporate investment more than the people you serve.
I’m glad you see that it doesn’t make sense though it means you are a good person.

Monopolies are good for the consumer?
Respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about. That has never been true ever.
- Comment on Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams 2 weeks ago:
As much as everyone here hates it literally the only way to ever do that is cryptocurrency unless you receive precious metals in the mail.
- Comment on Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams 2 weeks ago:
Man wtf can we DO about this shit? I’m planning on calling and shit but damn they don’t give a fuck.
Is it too late??
Do you have to have assloads of money to file a class action suit? Like would steam or GOG or itch be down to be a part of it or is that just a pipe dream.
I am not promoting it, but I will say that this is the exact reason shit like cryptocurrency exists. Stupid overreaching shit like this.

- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 2 weeks ago:
And what’s even crazier about that is that Microsoft will literally make it the slowest god damn shitty OS on the planet before they even think about removing all the telemetry and bloatware.
I truly believe they would let it hit 50/50 people who use linux over Windows over not removing like two features that spy on you.
They just flat ass wouldn’t do it. They know they won’t die completely in our lifetimes so they would absolutely let it crumble into a shell of what it used to be before they ever start being user friendly and privacy respecting. I actually think it will eventually destroy them but might take like another 80 years
- Comment on Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs 2 weeks ago:
When I got a new desktop PC this year I specifically avoided anything with Intel in it because of how bad they dropped the ball with their GPUs basically disintegrating.
This is just a small glimpse into how Intel is breaking down from the inside. It may take a few years but if the US government doesn’t intervene somehow on their behalf I truly think Intel might be done for in the next 5 years.
