- Comment on French MPs demand explanation over tech firm’s contract to help ICE in US 1 week ago:
Said another way: the French discover that late-stage capitalism and cronyism knows no border.
How quaint…
- Comment on What if the Epstein files are the distraction? 1 week ago:
You think too unilaterally.
Everything is a distraction for everything else. The entire Project 2025 strategy, summed up perfectly by that tramp-looking lardass Steve Bannon, is to “flood the zone” - that is, coming up with such a volume of such outrageous shit constantly, relentlessly, that nobody has time to follow up on anything.
When the media latches on Epstein too much, suddenly it’s war on Venezuela. When Venezuela raises too many question, oops: now it’s murders in Minneapolis.
Etc etc.
Ad nauseam. - Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I believe Ghost in the Shell provides the perfect answer to your question.

I’m paying for my open source preference and the support / community instead of the most modern fancy features. I want both, but I’d still choose the former
I try to apply the same logic whenever I can too.
For instance, my laptop is a MNT Reform: it’s a very good laptop, but it’s literally 6 times the price of a comparatively-specced laptop from a big-box store.
And my cellphone is a Fairphone 5 running Ubuntu Touch. I chose the Fairphone for the repairability and increased openness, but it’s also 2 to 3 times the price of a more common brand cellphone with similar performances. And Ubuntu Touch itself comes with its own set of restrictions, but that’s the price of trying to be as free from the Android ecosystem as possible.
So yeah, you can do open, but the choice is very limited and you pay a lot for the privilege.

I have a Prusa XL, and the reason is, Prusa is (still) mostly open-source. And quite frankly it’s the only reason why I stick with Prusa, because technically they’re behind the curve.

That Washington state, not DC.
Surveillance capitalism and the fascists always find a way to debase everything good that people like.

How would Denmark know about the deal? They don’t have access to Trump’s demented mind, which is the only place it lives.

1600 parties per cow
Oh yeah, those cows are party animals 🙂
- Comment on Fake moo 2 weeks ago:
One time I asked a cow if he wanted to be slaughtered
Was it a transgender cow?
- Comment on Fake moo 2 weeks ago:
It’s one of those social media post to get people who don’t think for more than 10 milliseconds riled up.
- Comment on Fake moo 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I was about to say: if the Village People is the sound of US fascism, McDonalds’s is its flavor.
- Comment on Fake moo 2 weeks ago:
1600 patties per cow is a value I’ve heard since I was a kid in the 70s. It wasn’t McD specifically. Maybe the cows have grown fatter or the patties smaller over the decades.
Anyway, my point was, hundred of millions of burgers doesn’t deplete the country of cattle heads. It was an remark about orders of magnitude.
- Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy 2 weeks ago:
the antennae inside it radiate, sending signals to your carrier. Maybe don’t do this while living under fascism. Everyone in the corporations or government can hear your very intimate or business-related conversation.
No they don’t. Not by snooping on your cellphone’s radio signals anyway: the transmission to your carrier is encrypted.
The bad guys can intercept your convo in a MITM attack by simulating a tower and getting your phone to connect to it. But they don’t even have to do that: all it takes is subpoenaing your carrier and they’ll hand you over to them like a pig on a spit.
- Comment on Fake moo 2 weeks ago:
It would be insightful if the math checked out.
You can get roughly 1600 beef patties out of one cow. Your 6.5M burgers a day use up 125,937 cows per month and there’s 95M cattle in the US.
- Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy 2 weeks ago:
Because you think your car’s vibrations is the biggest privacy problem when you make a phone call?

This bumper sticker sounds a surefire way to attract the thin-skinned ICE brutes to your car…

This sounds like an excellent cure for constipation.
- Comment on Its so transparently disgusting how ICE is occupying northern states where illegal immigration is hardly an issue. The aberration of slavery has never gone away in the USA. 4 weeks ago:
“Aberration” of slavery?
Slavery is foundational to the United States. And it’s been going on for so long it’s not a statistical outsider either.
- Comment on Met Police recruited serial sex offenders to boost numbers 4 weeks ago:
If they’re willing to relocate, they would have a promising career as ICE agents.
- Comment on A novel concept 4 weeks ago:
I’ve always been amazed at how all the countries without exception click neatly into one another like a really clever puzzle. Someone must have spent time carefully cutting out the borders of each country to achieve a perfect interference fit.

- Comment on Fuck. My. Life. 🙃 4 weeks ago:
With PLA? Really? What plate material / surface do you use?
Maybe change your design if the geometry of the part makes it exceptionally prone to warping at the base, and/or it’s too tall or top-heavy for the bottom surface if your printer is a bed slinger.

Microsoft wants you to work the street.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 4 weeks ago:
Ew indeed.
AI doesn’t have much to like on its face, but the terrible sonsabitches trying to ram it down everybody’s throats - chief of which Microsoft, followed closely by OpenAI - are really doing their damnedest to make it properly hateworthy.

This is The Onion, right?
I can’t find any mention, but it’s so ridiculous it’s gotta be…
- Comment on Source: 40 dead after US attack on Venezuela 4 weeks ago:
Do we call them murders or collateral damages? or non-enemy non-combatant life-removals?
Should we add those to the tally of non-enemy non-combatant life-removals in the Caribbean sea?
- Comment on [Opinion] Trump is making America a rogue state 4 weeks ago:
America has always been a rogue state. It’s just that now it’s official.
- Comment on Venezuela's Supreme Court orders Delcy Rodriguez become interim president 4 weeks ago:
[…] Rodríguez would assume “the office of President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in order to guarantee administrative continuity and the comprehensive defense of the Nation.”
Great job so far on the defense of the Nation, when a handful of choppers can fly in, bomb the shit out of the capital city and fly out without even being confronted by a single interceptor…
