Get involved with Mutual Aid groups.

Learn some basic First Aid.

Make connections with doctors and nurses who want to escape this broken system and get them involved with Mutual Aid groups.

This last part shouldn’t be too hard, depending on where you live. I live in a progressive city with lots of doctors with good values who already do tons of charity work as it is. Getting them involved wouldn’t be too difficult because they’re likely already involved at some level. I’ve had doctors and dentists who volunteer at our free clinics for those without medical coverage, so it seems like taking the next step into Mutual Aid is probably something they’re game for.

I guess these guys haven’t read about Salt Typhoon, huh?

US backdoors are wide open at this point.

I need my Samoas.

Metal nerds used to just cut themselves when they wanted to needlessly suffer, now they program in java.

Seriously though this is well-written and executed (yuk yuk), quite funny.

They’d blame us for being sad about our lives being treated as chattel and blame us for being angry that life or death decisions are being made on a whim to fatten someones pocketboot to the end of time.

History has shown over and over and over again, they will do everything to alienate themselves from the violence they are committing against the populace, and act like that violence is somehow a side effect consequence of what they do, and not a deliberate act of denying needed care. The opulent ownership class have done it countless times throughout history, they will deny it and be confused by our moral indignation with what they do until they very end, sadly.

I mean yeah it should ask you if you’re really part of that trip before adding it to your account but it is at its core user error.

Well, yeah, it’s not our security they’re worried about.

They’re worried about their security. The security of their big mansions, millions or billions of dollars in the bank, the security of being able to be a horrible fucking weasel whose decisions end people’s lives but sleep like a baby at night knowing no one can touch you.

But they’re also small-minded enough to not realize how this compromises everyone’s security, because they were busy only worrying about securing themselves.

Like look at the UHC CEO who just got shot in broad daylight. The company wasn’t even willing to spring for good security for a guy who metaphorically put a noose around countless people’s necks.

They only care about their own security but they’re too myopic to see past themselves enough to understand the cascading consequences of not caring about anyone else’s security, and how that might, in the end, undermine their own security.

We’re not dealing with the cleverest people, here.

fuckin lmao

We told ya you stupid fucks!

Just in time to make sure Hawk Tuah girl legally gets away with the pump-and-dump rugpull.

Everyone saying she needs to go to jail?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Yeah, that’s never going to happen with these kind of people in charge. Expect the shitshow that is the casino of crypto to get a whole fuckload worse.

I know what you are but what am I?

Exactly, they’re in the “growth” part of the business stage, where they get investors giving them money because of the explosion of user growth. In other words, the explosion of available eyes to put ads in front of. They’re literally investing based on the growth of the user base, which is tied to how much ad-buy can be involved.

They literally owe money to *checks notes… Blockchain Capital. A bunch of fucking cryptobros venture capital firm.

Enshittification is coming, people are stupid for falling for this again. I’m sick of fucking hearing about how all-volunteer created & funded Mastodon isn’t as slick as the fucking venture capital funded Bluesky. “It’s too hard to use!” Wah, go cry about it into a corporate teat some more, sucker.

EDIT: Working now! Article is up!

Every other page on Tom’s Hardware is loading for me just fine but this article is just pulling up a completely blank document?

If disagreement about strategy was the cause for Intel’s decline you’d have to ask yourself just how effective the board of the company is/was.

There’s also very little evidence that whatever Tan’s strategy may have been was any better. Just evidence that they clashed about strategy. It doesn’t mean his would have done any better at all.

His own strategy could have turned out the same or worse just as much as it could have turned out better, since we have no knowledge of what his actual strategy was.

Absolutely, and it’s very good design.

But people can fuck right off with this “Linux can be used by everybody” shit, because apparently remembering to type in a password is too god damned confusing for most.

Man you gotta stop making assumptions about other people.

1. I have numerous computers and only one of them has Windows on it, and even that one is set up to dualboot with Linux. I live and breathe Linux daily, friend.

2. I live and breathe Linux so much that I set it up so that I don’t have to touch my phone, because I fucking hate phones. I guarantee you I spend way more time on the PC than on a phone.

3. I have network-level blocking to prevent a massive amount of data entering or leaving my phone and PC.

I’m a Linux user by default, and I think what Microsoft is doing is anti-consumer so I don’t really give a shit if they make money off it or not.

Taking a financial loss because you fucked over your customers is how capitalism is supposed to work. All this talk of entitlement forgets that I paid for my fucking OS. It doesn’t matter if the OS isn’t their moneymaker: if it isn’t that’s more reason for them to stop fucking their customers for a quick buck.

Also, finally, if Microsoft really cared about their OS and licensing, maybe they should have updated how their licensing activation works at some point in the last 20 years so the massgrave exploit would stop working.

This is just funny.

You expect them to work for you for free?

Install Linux today. Stop making excuses.

Oh yeah, nevermind, I’ll use the free operating system made by people who are working for me for free. Or wait, is that entitled, I’m confused.

Pick a fuckin lane, dude.

Yeah, nobody’s paying me so I don’t have the time or effort to be everyone’s tech support for Linux. If they can’t figure out how to type in their password to install updates, it means most people are way too fuck stupid to handle Linux. No offense, but I mean really. If Linux still needs me to manage their system for them, it’s by definition NOT friendly to the non-computer-savvy.

I’ve gotta be like one of the few Linux users who still sees it as too much for the average user, mostly because average users are fucking whiny crybabies who hate learning anything new ever. See also Bluesky vs. Mastodon.

Even Mint you have to jump through hoops to not have to put in your password every time there’s updates. Hoops that are too complex for a newbie on their own.

Most Linux users don’t want to admit that a huge thing that makes people hate Linux is having to type in their password every time there’s updates (and there’s always updates.)

It’s seemingly such a small thing, and as Linux users, we know the why behind it so we don’t question it, but the average user doesn’t and they hate typing their password over and over to get into the computer, let alone to update it.

To them, Windows is easier since the updates happen silently in the background, and aren’t in the forefront because Linux expects you to know what the fuck you’re doing.

Every Linux box that I didn’t fuck with to make sure updates happened silently in the background that I gave to anyone else would always be wildly out of date the next time I touched it because they just… don’t install updates instead of typing in their password.

Often, they’ve forgotten the fucking password, if you’ve made it so they don’t have to put a password in when they log in (my mother has done this one countless times).

Until we figure out a way to make Linux secure and straightforward for end-users, people will stick with Windows.
