  • North Korea sent me abroad to be a secret IT worker. My wages funded the regime

    Jump

  • The BBC cannot independently verify the specifics of Jin-su's testimony, but through PSCORE, an organisation which advocates for North Korean human rights, we've read testimony from another IT worker who defected that supports Jin-su's claims.

    Oh. Ok. You'd think he can prove something with like a pay stub, at minimum. But I guess the standard of proof when reporting on N Korea is "an anti-n korea org also said so." I was genuinely interested in this article until that line.

  • Meanwhile, At The Bilderberg Meeting

    Jump

  • They do love to get together. Sometimes publicly like at Davos to meet at the WEF. Sometimes they like to meet more secretively like at Bohemian Grove. Sometimes they all just know and pay a guy named Jeffrey Epstein.

    So it kind of is a cabal. It’s the cabal of people that pay and blackmail each other for favors. And if you’re not quite in the club then you do the legal version of it called lobbying.

  • Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU?

    Jump

  • I have long contended that the computer industry is course-correcting with Android/iOS/mobile. They realized their prior "mistake" of letting people actually own, control, and modify their devices. Apple and iPhone is the worst in this regard.

  • Iran demands US compensation for war damage before any talks

    Jump

  • Give them a nuke as compensation, with the added benefit that they can defend their sovereignty during future diplomatic talks.

  • Blackstone Real Estate Star LePatner Killed in New York Shooting

    Jump

  • LePatner helped organize a trip to Israel last year for senior women on Wall Street, and chose volunteer opportunities that engaged her family, according to the UJA.

    hmmmmm that's an interesting detail about this particular victim...

  • Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded

    Jump

  • It’s like he selectively forgot about the Snowden leaks

  • Nvidia plans to boost presence in Israel with multibillion-dollar tech campus in north

    Jump

  • Love to expand my business infrastructure in a country that’s actively perpetrating a genocide. Very cool.

  • China and Africa are destroying the DeBeers diamond cartel

    Jump

  • I'm prepared for many headlines about how these diamond mines are actually providing good, if meager, livings for people who would otherwise be jobless in Botswana.

    It'll be crickets about the massive exploitation, however.

  • Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette

    Jump

  • More necessary than that, really.

  • OpenAI launches personal assistant capable of controlling files and web browsers

    Jump

  • don't run untrusted scripts from the internet on your computer.

  • Liberals, always a pleasure 🙄

    Jump

  • Coke even re-branded its operations in nazi germany as “fanta”, to be able to continue making a profit during the war.

    ...there's no end to the depravity when there's a buck to be made, huh?

  • OpenAI just launched its new ChatGPT Agent that can make as many as 1 complicated cupcake order per hour, but even Sam Altman says you probably shouldn't trust it for 'high-stakes uses'

    Jump

  • CEO Sam Altman warns that the rollout presents unpredictable risks.

    But that doesn't prevent his profit motive from consuming untold amounts of electricity to shove this into your face. They know what they're doing. They know their product is used primarily to generate spam, and secondarily is designed to form addictive faux-relationships with their users.

    Burn in hell. Actually, given the direction this is all going, we will all be burning in hell within generations.

  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

    Jump

  • The macbook pro is the perfect laptop except for the Linux hill that I must die on. Every time I look at other offerings, they all fail just like Nate is saying in some regard. Screen. Speakers. Keyboard. Touchpad. Thermals. Battery life. The MBP is truly best-in-class hardware. But I just want to use Linux...

  • Israel Blames ‘Technical Malfunction’ After Killing Thirsty Children at Gaza Water Point

    Jump

  • The supposedly most moral army in the world, people.

  • Do you have a "catchphrase"? if so, what is it?

    Jump

  • "Holy smokes!" -- in response to something not that interesting occurring

  • [Ended] [Steam Key Giveaway] 3x Stardew Valley to give away

    Jump

  • I’ve never played it because it just seems like Harvest Moon, which I played as a kid. Sure, maybe it’s refined the concept, but I already married my harvest boo when I was 12 years old. How could I dare to be unfaithful to her?

  • ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout

    Jump

  • You’re spending a lot of effort complaining about your working conditions and then you see other people complain about their working conditions and your response is to get mad at THEM instead of the capitalist system and exploiting class that keeps them and you perilously employed and in your case seemingly while you’re sacrificing your body.

    Pick the right targets for your invective. Instagram uploaders aren’t making your life worse.

  • Google’s electricity demand is skyrocketing

    Jump

  • I'm extremely excited to announce that huge companies never lie, especially when they self-publish these kinds of reports. Therefore, I trust this primary source fully.

    edit: I don't want to be misconstrued. I am not saying that their environmental report is a total lie or distortion of the truth, either. I'm saying you cannot over-rely on primary sources when reporting on them.

  • GOP Congressman Deletes Post Celebrating ’18 Million Kids’ Losing School Meals: ‘Was an Error’

    Jump

  • it doesn't even matter. he already voted for the bill. he can say or do whatever the else he wants, because he voted for the bill. you can't apologize for it.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Your last paragraph implies that I'm naive for believing that complaining about it will make it go away, but I've done no such thing.

    the market will sort that out

    This is the naive statement.
