😵‍💫 squidward TENTACLES

They have a PODCAST??

Collecting their money just like every other field captured by corporate interest.

The trump dementia caps screeching has always bothered me. It’s changed the way people type on the internet forever, all irony aside.

Jfc, this whole situation is giving me a migraine.

We are on more than just one watch list

Whoever bids highest. Families paying for grandpa’s ventilator vs mark zuckerberg.

They’re not. They’re not selling this. It’s a push under the rug kinda situation.

It’s kind of disheartening not having solidarity as consumers. It also feeds this kinda FOMO because you showed restraint and are missing out on something.

I am very sorry this happened to you. I don’t know who you are, or the first thing about you. For all intents and purposes, I am just a random internet guy reading about your struggles.

You clearly have a deep level of patience, empathy, and have devoted a significant portion of your being to another person. Never let anyone, including her, ever make you doubt that. She cannot and/or will not accept that and has clearly decided to take that for granted. It is very very rare to find someone like you who will put up with such utter bullshit for that long.

I really relate because I was in a similar relationship. Unfortunately, these things tend to happen. Let none of this extinguish the light of who you are. Just as you showed love and loyalty to someone, love and loyalty must be shown back. There are no free lunches. Not in partnership, and certainly not in life.

Stay strong, and don’t look back. I, and others, are rooting for you.

It’s probably majority network effects. If you compare Instagram to 5, 10 years ago on the dot, you see an atrocious drop off on quality and usability. The change was so insidious, majority of people didn’t notice or care all that much. And yet, Instagram is still one of the largest platforms in the US, despite how objectively horrendous it is to users.

look, I trust F-droid and open source apps more than I trust the sponsored garbage on play store alongside shit like kalshi and candycrush. The security point is moot. The call is coming from inside the house.

As for ad money, being one of the most grossly profitable corporations in the world isn’t enough? Must line go up always? At what point is having an absurd amount of profit enough? Where is the line?

Up until now, I haven’t been overwhelmingly emotional about all the horrible things happening right now.

I don’t know why this news hit me particularly hard. Reading it made me feel like a part of me died. Got glassy eyed. This kind of feels like the final betrayal in a sense. Not the ultimate betrayal, but one super close to my heart.

The ironic thing is that they could still be rich beyond their wildest dreams while leaving enough for the rest of us to pursue happiness and (at minimum) stability. They just want more than ‘rich beyond your wildest dreams’.

Capitalized greed

But what about essential services that you can’t avoid? Online banking. Education like blackboard is horrid on Firefox. Youtube and social media are optional use, but for access to utility sites and finance are not.

That is where we are heading the longer chromium remains dominant.

😳 what a buff snail

If the plot gets any thicker, it’ll turn into concrete.

This is so crazy because everytime they need a distraction, they pivot to “LOOK GUYS ALIENS MIGHT POSSIBLY ACTUALLY EXIST!!”

It is just so blatantly obvious that it’s a distraction tactic. Even if aliens did exist, I highly doubt that fact would change the course of the country significantly because we can’t even have the right wing agree on objective reality except for rising gas prices.
