That’s a bit of a disingenuous question, no?
What the hell do you think would not have happened?

Doge?

Ice?

How about both?
- Comment on Activist group says it has scraped 86m music files from Spotify 5 days ago:
Any idea what it costs to reliably store this data, let alone have the bandwidth to upload it to others?
This ain’t a cheap game, no matter what the intentions are. I have no problem with paid content because it costs money to have it there. I pay Spotify but I’d rather pay Anna’s archive
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 5 days ago:
“trauma” is not the point here
The point is that all YouTube videos now have these extremely annoying clickbait thumbnails and titles and that is not a good thing

- Comment on There should be more negative awards. For example: the most pathetic nation or the most monstrous person of the year. 1 week ago:
Fully agreed
It’s time we put the words assholes in the spotlight
We have the Razzie awards too to counter the Oscars, so left have awards for the pedophiles, the war mongerers, the mentally deficient with money, the most vile beings
Trump, of course, would win first prize in just about all categories to start, but y’know, there is room for others
- Comment on What unique thing bothers you about politics in general? 1 week ago:
I have notes!
That (depending on the country) all politicians continuously lie and that were sort of okay with that. We shouldn’t, and at the very first lie they should be called out, hard, and three strikes, you’re out
That we have political parties where everyone has to do what the party says. I’d rather have all independent politicians, vote for those
That many democracies call themselves democracies yet they use the first past the post system and their politica have moved to the point where you wonder if it’s still democracy
What companies have such a disproportionate amount of power. Companies should, in the end, exist for the people. The people should ALWAYS go before companies
That politicians can be in charge of something without having the slightest clue what that subject is. You should be an expert in the field to get a field. That also goes for IT, by the way. Fuck, so many politicians are so dumb and tech illiterate yet have to vote about tech.
That the rich still exist. Im fiine with capitalism, it works well to generate wealth which COULD be for everyone but people seem to be okay with the rich and ultra rich? I want to see hard cap limits on personal and company wealth. Anything, income, gifts, whatever, that goes over that limit goes 100% straight to taxes. Below that limit we need 10-20 more brackets, where the lowest incomes pay barely or no taxes at all as they likely can’t. The highest will pay on the 90% range and the next bracket is 100.
Same for companies, but limit it to 1 billion or so and 1000 employees max. Need more employees for a mega project that requires multiple companies to work together. Instead of one trillion dollar company, I want a million million dollar companies

Yeah, nobody will remember that, everyone will happily go back to those same brands that’ll also be lying about their histories

- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 1 week ago:
I’ve seen this particular revolutionary technology come by about once a year for the past two decades or so, so let’s say I’m not holding my breath and I will toss this one on the large pile of “bullshit tech articles”
- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 1 week ago:

- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 2 weeks ago:
Can we do away with trillion dollar companies already,. please? They’re not doing anything good for anyone, it always ends with some CEO’s and shareholders enriching themselves over the backs of others
No company should ba r a worth of more than a billion dollars
No single person should have a net worth of over 10 million

I feel like Jenny is the kind of person where if anyone would ever decide to string her up from a tree that loads of people would come to watch and nobody would cut her down.
Everybody would just watch and feel a weight lifted from their shoulders
- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 2 weeks ago:
the company owners aremulti million dollar assholes, that’s why we behave like this
Stop the multi millionaires
Nobody should be worth anything over 10 million. Anything after that should go 100% to taxes.
With that, governments can actually give out free healthcare, free education, universal basic income and all on a high quality because it will have the funding now that we finally stopped a few from hogging all the world’s resources

I’ve had similar issues using CSF firewall. They just pushed out updates that apparently support docker a little better but I still have to fight with that to get that working, I don’t know if that will fix it, but give it a try

How I discovered a microphone by reading the he documentation on GitHub?
- Comment on How I discovered a hidden microphone on a Chinese NanoKVM 3 weeks ago:
Likely because the manufacturer used of off the shelf hardware that just happened to have GPS built in? That’s just how these things go, it’s easier to just use pre designed hardware for what you need, even if it has functionalities you won’t use.
Hell, I’d argue that the vast majority of computer hardware out there isn’t using half of the features that it has.
Just because features are there doesn’t mean they’re used, and definitely doesn’t automatically mean that there are evil or nefarious intentions with its design
