  reminding them of their obligations to protect the privacy and data security of American consumers despite pressure from foreign governments to weaken such protections

  Yeah, but that mostly goes the other way around. If it comes to privacy, Europe isn’t the best but the US is a laughing stock.

  Yeah, europe yet again is trying to get this law to break encryption but don’t act as if the US hasn’t been trying the same since forever

  I would never have imagined the hatred I would have for the word “tremendous”. Any time I hear it now I just want to punch someone’s teeth out.

  Yeah, let’s please not forget even though we all collectively will forget anyway because we’re all so dumb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Commonwealth Bank backtracks on AI job cuts, apologises for 'error'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  CBA has apologised to 45 employees who were made redundant before the banking giant backflipped.

  Well they said they’re sorry, so that must fix it all, right?

  Or, and hear me out on this one, you grovel on your knees, publicly, rehire all the fired employees, pay them all for the time they were without a job, and pay each one of them a few thousand extra for their troubles…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tourists dismantle cross and use stones to create Star of David⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont care what religion it is; when you’re religious, part of you will be behaving like a dick. I’m an atheist, I wouldn’t do that because basic respect comes natural to human beings. It’s religion that removes respect for those that you don’t agree with.

  Having said that, fuck all of these assholes and seriously, you can’t come whining anymore about your antisemitism in the world when you’re the one instigating it continuously. Not that this cross thing is the worst that’s done cough Palestine genocide coughbut it is just another highly visible “we’re Jewish and we’re giving everyone the middle finger!” thing.

  If you want antisemitism to stop, then STOP BEHAVING LIKE A BAG OF DICKS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral. So she clicked on it and saw her face and her voice saying vulgar things she had never said. It was AI.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨96,000 UK Police Bodycam Videos Lost After Data Transfer Mishap⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So basically you had a storage full issue and nobody thought to check on that? There isn’t a monitor to alert at 80% full?

  And those delete files, who deleted them? You don’t have any audit system?

  What the FUCK are you being paid for? Because I know that these systems don’t come cheap, they are fucking expensive to buy and maintain and I know that a government will pay through the nose for this to work correctly and you fuck up at step one?

  This should result in millions / billion dollar penalizations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dennis Prager in Harlem⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  PragerU -or prayer university as they used to call it because religious assholes always lie about anything and everything to push their narrative- is a shit holle low key terrorist organization that should be banned and its leaders jailed for life. I’m not even kidding. This is the kind of organization that continuously lies about everything just to poison people’s minds with these lies, and it’s all politically motivated.

  This is the kind of terror group that doesn’t blow up busses, they poison your child’s mind so that they can push their sick narratives in their heads.

  And of course the CEO is ex Israeli military because of course.

  Fuck everything about these people, lock them up for life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, please no

  We don’t need thousands of satellites to provide internet, the entire idea and design of Starlink is utterly stupid.

  I can look up at the sky not and see stars and… Those fucking star link satellites.

  We’re already close enough to a Kessler effect scenario without adding thousands of satellites, and with governments world wide now ready to just shoot satellites (seriously, can everyone please stop voting for dumb fucks while we’re at it?) can we please PLEASE stop this?

  Just use fiber internet or where not possible, use geostationary satellites. We don’t need semi low latency everywhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Again, why are people paying money for this bullshit?

  This is just normal and on par for Microsoft. When was the last time they didn’t fix a security issue because they didn’t wanted the bad publicity, causing the US government to be hacked?

  Oohh, we will never do it again, pinky promise!

  Microsoft’s evil but oh my fucking god, they’re so incompetent that they can’t even be evil without fucking shit up

  Install Linux already,.be done with the nonsense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do gangs that collect protection money actually do any protecting?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sooooo, dumbass it is, then? You equate taxes with extortion. If you’re not a dumb American, there aren’t many other categories to place you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would one exit a black hole?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So if you walk backwards, every direction leads further in. Easy!

  Exactly!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do gangs that collect protection money actually do any protecting?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can’t see the difference between taxes and extortion then you’re either extremely naive or really really dumb… In functioning democracies, taxes are used for the good of all.

  Extortion money goes to the mob boss.

  Then again, maybe you’re American? That would explain something too, as (again) you need an actual functioning democracy for taxes to work correctly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We will all be slaves⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh that is so much better.

  Literally, but also sarcastically…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google has agreed to pay $36 million fine for signing anticompetitive deals with Australia’s two largest telcos that banned the installation of competing search engines⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How about you jail the Google and Telco execs that signed a deal that broke the law?

  If I break the law Ingo to jail, if an exec at a company does It, they get levied a small tax.

  What. The. Fuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They'd just appear out of nowhere⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yikes, you’re actually seeing that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would one exit a black hole?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Space time gets so curved that literally every direction around you is the center of the black hole.

  You look forward? Black hole center.

  Behind you? Center

  Up down? You guessed it

  From your perspective, the center literally is the only direction you can go, deeper.
