Claim it, twist it, poison it, ruin it. Hate groups and vile scum always do that with things people used to care about or that used to be innocuous.

They abandon their “free speech absolutist” postures the moment they think they are in power. you ask them why they support malicious advertising, impersonation and pedophilia

Fix’d. Because those things would be protected under “absolute” freeze peach.

• Actually diverse politics (though still dominated by moneyed right wing)
• Amazon is not the nº 1 online retailer and there exists… some competition between the major ones
• Significantly less infighting between federal govt and states - phones were recently banned from every school as federal law, no “let states decide” bullshit
• We don’t have to pay to make searches in justice databases
• We have govt-funded hospitals and healthcare (doesn’t always work and there’s constant right-wing ill-will to sell it all off)
• 🏴‍☠️ So long as you don’t pirate stuff for profit, nobody will go after you 🏴‍☠️

Shortly after the start of the conflict, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov gave the families of deceased servicemen sacks of potatoes and onions, along with a bottle of oil.

These Russian politicians look at “those plebs” exactly like how ceos look at workers. Amazing.

So, roughly 7500 dollars from each episode. That’s 10x more than what I make working 20h/week as system analyst for the Brazilian govt - 4500 reais, or roughly 780 dollars per month.

Mastodon limits to 500 by default. Alternatives like misskey and pleroma are usually 5k or unlimited

I can hear the guitar melody

“Nooooo you can’t blame all these work related accidents on capitalism!!! They were isolated cases caused by specific companies!!!” - some dude I debated on Facebook, circa 2014

I miss the times when I found 5" phones big. Now they just seem small because everything else is pushing 7"

If I say anything civil, whether right or wrong, they’ll think I’m any of the mainstream chatbots. If I speak like a typical 4channer, they’ll think I’m elon’s AI.

It seems anything that isn’t the Unix way of doing things can be questioned.

I think Unix is the thing that indirectly gets questioned most often, because everyone wants to be on the “right” side of how to unix things (see latest rust in kernel for a very recent example). When I think about it, unix alone feels like a recurring xkcd standards comic

And, the next ultra-big step: How would a non-techie figure this shit out?

They wouldn’t, because the people calling the shots in the tech world create UX with a focus on it sucking for everyone

If a person uses a libre VoIP app, there is no need for cell service

I don’t follow. Don’t you need internet for VoIP? Unless the point is to have a phone that gets zero connection while outside a wifi, which sounds kinda pointless?
