IF true, this represents a harrowing new aspect to warfare…
Unfortunately, I’ve no confidence in the truth or value of anything produced by Glenn Greenwald.

Guess I must be one of those “marginalized”…

Personally, my chosen moniker is Xitter. The ‘X’ is pronounced the “Chinese way” when written in Arabic (as in Xi).

FFS…
Do you honestly believe there exists anyone left in the world who doesn’t know that the platform formerly known as Twitter is now X??
🤷♀️ 🤦♂️
- Comment on Apple to face DoJ’s monopoly lawsuit, after judge denies dismissal of case 2 weeks ago:
Welp, queue up some more multi-million dollar “donations” to have these cases dropped…
Not like the TechBros don’t have the funds. 🤦♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤡 🖕 💩
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 2 weeks ago:
If this calculation proves true, one would think losing close to 1/3 of its customers would cause M$ to rethink some of its business policies/plans…
Such as forcing folks to retire perfectly good hardware and buy new if they wish to run Windoze11.
But then again, it’s M$… 🤷♂️ 🤦♂️

Yours don’t improve by your being a jackass. But, doing so will earn you a quick block. Bye.

If there’s money to be made by releasing books created by Counterfeit Cognizance, those publishers will take advantage of it to its fullest… Count on it.
Nice try, but…

- Comment on China New Internet ID System a Threat to Online Expression: Netizens will require IDs to go on the internet. For now this is voluntary, but there are signs it will not remain that way for long. 2 weeks ago:
VPNs, meshnets, encryption, and other alternatives
All of which will, of course, soon become illegal and the simple use/possession of which will verify that user as an “anti-govt” subversive worthy of deportation, incarceration, or worse.
🤷♂️
- Comment on New Google Search Emoji Answer Feature to Replace All Those Copy and Paste Emoji Websites; You Will be Able to Copy the Code for Emojis With a Click. 3 weeks ago:
does Google have their own list of emojis with corresponding descriptions
Betting they don’t. They don’t need to if they can successfully steal from other sites.
- Comment on New Google Search Emoji Answer Feature to Replace All Those Copy and Paste Emoji Websites; You Will be Able to Copy the Code for Emojis With a Click. 3 weeks ago:
So…
Instead of sending you to the website in question and monetizing the creator thereof, GOOG has found yet another way to directly and blatantly steal the content from the creator.
Don’t be Evil is such a laugh-riot these days.
Fuck Google and everything that’s theirs.

- Comment on LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatments 3 weeks ago:
large language model deployed to make treatment recommendations
What kind of irrational lunatic would seriously attempt to invoke currently available Counterfeit Cognizance to obtain a “treatment recommendation” for anything…???
FFS.
Anyone who would seems a supreme candidate for a Darwin Award.

- Comment on In Militarizing Push, Russian School Children To Build Drones 3 weeks ago:
Russia will soon teach high school students how to build and fly drones, which have become a key weapon in the war between Moscow and Kyiv.
Russia last year launched a nationwide project called Unmanned Aerial Systems to promote both the domestic production of drones and preparation of drone pilots and other specialists starting with high school students.
Seems to remind me of Hitler Youth for some reason… 🤷♂️

- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 3 weeks ago:
I will happily forego any/all social media (and never look back) rather than submit to such an idiotic, intrusive, perverse, and disgusting system.
🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 💩
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Products that don’t advertise can easily be better value.
This is exactly my reasoning in refusing to do business with service providers that (in my view) over-advertise (looking at you Geico, Progressive, United Health, Taco Bell, other major advertisers)…
Any service provider doing that much advertising is telling me 2 things with every ad: First, you already obviously have too much money and, Second, you obviously don’t need my money.
Fuck you and your “brand recognition”.

Aaannd…
Just exactly what will fucking happen when Palantir tells y’all to fuck right off (with the backing of this attempt at an administration)???
Fuck all is exactly what will happen. 🤷♂️ 🤦♀️ 💩
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 4 weeks ago:
😂
Still need users. And folks who like/want/use the product enough to care to donate.
If neither is happening, you’re business model is failing. Profit or nonprofit.
🤷♂️
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 4 weeks ago:
We have been communicating on the lack of funds in the Foundation for a while now, the latest being here. And whilst we’ve been working hard to gather new members and are happy to see the number of logos increasing (thank you all for seeing the need for Matrix to stay independent and safe, and the value in supporting it!), none of the big players in the ecosystem have actually committed to one of the higher membership tiers, so we need to find other ways towards sustainability.
🤔
Sounds like that business plan isn’t working out like you hoped…
And/Or not enough users care to use your product.

- Comment on Google’s test turns search results into an AI-generated podcast 4 weeks ago:
Oh, Google…
Just eviler and eviler every day. Not only robbing creators of any monitization via clicking on links but now just blatantly stealing their content for an even more efficient theft model.
FFS. I can’t fucking wait to complete my de-googling project and get you the absolute fuck completely out of my life.
I’ve developed a hatred for Google that actually rivals my hatred for Apple.

- Comment on The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs 5 weeks ago:
That’s what makes the politics of Section 174 so revealing. For all the rhetoric about bringing jobs back and making things in America, the first Trump administration’s major tax bill arguably helped accomplish the opposite.
What an utterly shocking turn of events. /s
Fucking MAGAt idiots.
