mmmmmm, TACO

Switch to tagging transactions as ‘real estate fraud’, ‘financial instrument fraud’, ‘fake university’, ‘epstein party fund’

We don’t prosecute these things.

Don’t believe their lies. The attack on Iran was a war crime and now the English are complicit in that crime.

mmmmm, TACO

Sure would be a pity if they dropped it.

Statues tend to be quite heavy.

The bondulance can wait, I’m having a stroke.

I want to ban everything conservatives and corporations love. All drugs legal except alcohol, ban billionaires, ban lobbying, keep doing that until their heads explode.

We know that social media is designed to be addictive and needs to be regulated the same way any addictive or dangerous substance or activity should be. Harm reduction and education is the best way in general.

Nice catch lol

There’s an argument for using these services in the early stages because they often operate at a loss in the hope that they will secure a monopoly in the future. The trick is to immediately abandon them when they jack the price up. I recently heard that in the food delivery space virtually no one is turning a profit.

It would not be surprising if found to be true. Difficult to see how the current business model operates at a profit. Their long term goal is the usual loss leader model until a monopoly is achieved and then slug us with ads, sell all the data, hike the price, etc. Sickening to watch them cosy up to fascists. They are probably supplying any and all the agencies with intelligence scraped from their user base. If Facebook were a person they would be a psychopath.

Who would have thought that populating walled gardens and other enshitified services is a terrible idea?

One of the fundamental problems is that our leadership is becoming increasingly illiterate in technology. In order to leverage the economies of scale for large systems we need to either content ourselves with enshitified corporate solutions or enable collectivised approaches. Wikipedia is an excellent example of this, more of that please.

Rest in piss

The logical evolution is Carpet Bagger.

I don’t think a physical SIM is a guarantee that the phone number remains intact. The SIM is a token in the system that links a piece of hardware to a phone number and that link is maintained by the carrier. My phone spontaneously stopped being able to make calls and receive SMS. I went through the usual steps to rectify it but no dice. The carrier had to manually reconnect my number because it had become a victim of their periodic cull of disused numbers. Took quite a few calls over a period days to achieve this. ‘yes I have turned it off and on…’ ad nauseum.

Subconscious has been deprecated in favour of unconscious.

The conscious part of any given activity is what we think of as the source of free will but it’s not certain how free that part is. I’ve had experiences where I don’t know who is deciding the actions I’m taking. When we become aware of a thought, what is the origin of it?

If you listen carefully you can hear them squeak one out occasionally.

You’re not going to beat the mosquito or rotavirus when it comes to environmentally friendly killers. Lethality, prodigious. Carbon footprint, minimal (small amount of flatulence, don’t worry about it). This comment was sponsored by Gnawed VPN.

The 9070xt is a great card and much better value than the equivalent Nvidia offering, last time I checked the benchmarks. The Linux compatibility was the other major draw. My system is now 100% AMD and I’m preparing to trial Steam os and Bazzite.

Looking good lemmings
