  • Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s

  • Umm. What? I can't fault your optimism, but.. No. Like, really. Not a snowball's chance in hell levels of nope.

    Kids are far more likely to assume a fully enshittified experience is "just how it is". I don't see any logical path that would support your predicted outcome. Increasing the barrier to entity isn't just gonna magically change their minds and make them spontaneously hop the fence. That path is even more of a pain in the ass. , and they were already just using what's shoved in getting of them. If it's already not worth their time to do different, why would making it seem even less attractive help?

  • YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless"

    Jump

  • would be surprised if this was a real problem and I wasn’t aware.

    Umm.... that's a terrible argument. Like, really, really terrible.

    That said this does feel a bit like a red herring. I don't think having an open bank account is gonna do shit to help anyone kidnapped by the Y'allqueda Gestapo.

    But, seriously, "this can't be true, cause if it was I'd already know about" comes across as really arrogant.

  • Resurfaced clip shows Epstein pleading the Fifth when asked if he was with Trump around underage girls

    Jump

  • Ummm....no shit, Sherlock.

    Unless you're implying that's justification for doing shit to increase the fractures and divisions in our society, in which case you may as well take your arguments to someone else. Cuz I know exactly what that smells like and I ain't buying a stinking pile of shit.

  • Have you not been paying any fucking attention?! They outright lied about the house going on recess to distract from yet another vote stripping away workers rights.

    And the fact that all the big media have been absorbed into their camp isn't a meme. It's Propaganda 101. They didn't buy out all their competition as act of compassion, for fuck sake. But sure, buddy, the fact that this absolutely does give them the power to control the narrative is just some coincidence. And I've got some prime lakefront property on the moon you would probably be interested in, too.

    Cheering at the existence of headlines that do no more than hint at consequences that'll never materialize isn't "taking action" buddy. Jumping on the propaganda train is the very definition of perpetual inaction. So please explain to me again exactly how that's going to do a single goddamn thing to help.

  • At the very least, I'm sure a significant number of the billionaires bankrolling both parties make the cut. And in the craven society I'm unfortunately living in, money comes first. Fucking always. (I'm also fucking disgusted that a single goddamn penny of my taxes goes towards finding more efficient ways to slaughter children whose skin doesn't match mine, but that's a whole other cursed mess of utter bullshit.)

    That said, I wish I could say otherwise, but I kinda figure the Democrats are just a little more careful hiding the heinous crap they do in their own spare time. I mean, obviously Clinton makes the cut, and only a complete jackass would think he's the only D on the list. So...yeah, I live in a fucking shithole of a society, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

    (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

    I kinda just want the house of cards to just collapse already, and yet I'm not willing to buy into that accelerationism crap, either. But since fucking fascism has become our chief expert, I do hope the rest of you prove to better at finding an antidote than we were.

    And anybody who's gonna try tell me to go buy guns and start preparing to kill people, you can fuck right off. What we need are community-based solutions that are based on local networking. It's our only fucking chance. (Assuming we still have any chances left, of course..)

    If you're focusing on preparing to kill your neighbor instead of offering them aid, fuck you - just cause your Nazi bullshit is painted blue instead of red doesn't change the fact that you've taken the side of the enemy.

  • Senator to Google: Give us info from telco Salt Typhoon probes

    Jump

  • Considering how our legislature has proven it doesn't understand the first thing about computers an innumerable number of times, it sure seems like handing over security info will be a really terrible fucking idea.

  • Trump says he’s not focused on talks with Canada, tariffs might stay

    Jump

  • One of his lamest lies yet. President Tiny Dick cannot even fathom thinking about more than one thing at a time. In other words, he has to focus on Canada in order to come up with something to say about Canada, so ...yeah.

    What a fucking dumbass.

  • Junk Store 2.0 has released

    Jump

  • I tried it and found it kinda...obtuse? I found it far more confusing than Heroic, so really saw no advantage to switching.

    And hell no on the subscription model if that's the route they went with. Not to mention kinda seems doomed to fail when it's competing with a Foss alternative.

    Hard pass from me.

  • But I like the secret handshakes of the Illuminati

    Jump

  • And he's largely responsible for the "licensing" model for commercial software, ensuring we'll never actually own software we pay for. So not surprising at all he used 'scorched earth' tactics to impede the Foss movement.

  • What if the movers and shakers get together at a publicly disclosed, but extremely private meeting with no outside access?

    No meeting notes, and the participants are basically sworn to secrecy. But once a year the most obscenely wealthy individuals on the planet get together to discuss their own vision for the future. And the location is public knowledge, simply because the insane level of security ensures that nobody who wasn't invited will ever get in.

    And whatever they decide, these fuckers absolutely have the power to make it happen. Bet they just fucking laugh their asses off at the various Illuminati conspiracies out there.

  • New reports on Russian interference don’t show what Trump says they do

    Jump

  • As I recall, didn't the Mueller report basically say that the evidence would be sufficient to proceed with charges of collusion, but that since they would not prosecute, it cannot technically be called such?

  • They've got a point!

    Jump

  • I will deadname that shit till the day I die! Or not, I honestly can't be bothered to give a flying fuck, truth be told ..

  • New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism

    Jump

  • So many examples of this method failing I don't even know where to start. Most visible, of course, was how that approach failed to stop Grok from "being woke" for like, a year or more.

    Frankly, you sound like you're talking straight out of your ass.

  • A real mans man is married to a real man

    Jump

  • A trans woman openly embracing their feminity is, ironically, manly as hell...just that it's also, you know, not. ¯(ツ)/¯

  • A real mans man is married to a real man

    Jump

  • It is very disturbing when a man is obsessed with shaping themselves to fit some gross vision of manliness rather than just finding their own way in life. Coming from a dude, btw.

    Like, what the fuck are you afraid of? Respecting other people? I mean, seriously, nothing projects weakness more than letting some vague social concept define you, rather than choosing that for yourself.

    Hell, trans women have FAR more strength than those assholes. Hell, anybody who openly identifies as LGBTQ+, really.

    And so many of them just need to get over the fact that they like to bottom. Cause what the fuck is wrong with that, anyway?? Such a disgusting and desperate need to define a woman as less than a man, I suppose.

  • A real mans man is married to a real man

    Jump

  • Wasn't there some Twatter thread not that long ago about how unprotected sex with a woman would feminize you due to absorbing estrogen, and was therefore gay?

    In retrospect, it may have been satire. But who the hell can tell the difference with those weirdos anymore!

  • Ubisoft's annual report dictates that the consumers are the problem

    Jump

  • This reminds me of a "scandal" when I was much younger where the Intel CEO at the time made a statement to the effect that their customers are the enemy, simply because they weren't willing to blindly open their wallets and give whatever they could spare to the corporation.

    Sadly, people are stupid (groups of people, at least). And the disease of consumerism is devouring our society from the inside out.

  • They've got a point!

    Jump

  • Well, I agree. However, I do not think opposing MAGA in any way implies supporting Democrats.

  • Grindr Won’t Let Users Say 'No Zionists'

    Jump

  • Umm. No. No offense, but that's patently ridiculous.

    A corporation chose a distasteful policy to avoid the possibility of losing profits due to negative press. There are no lives at risk. The only risk is "brr! line must go up"

    To equate such morally detestable behavior to minimizing actual suffering and loss is bizarre and nonsensical at best. At worst, it's nothing more than helping whitewash the vile and disgusting crimes of an apartheid warmongering regime.

    There is no nuance here. They capitulated to genocidal bigotry to maximize profits.
