It really is more of a visual medium. A picture is worth a thousand words after all!

They’re circling him, won’t be long now … /s
I get on my VPN to provide less data to Google. Routing my traffic through an advertising company always felt like a bad idea to me.
I think a substantial number of voters are going to hold their noses and vote for the shitty candidate their party presented.
It’ll be interesting to see how many people stay home compared to prior elections. People are super political and angry for a variety of reasons, but the choices are awful.
Stealing advanced chat bots, that’s a great way to describe it.
Printing Butt is fun and all, but if I’m at the point of logging nonsense, it is usually a stronger word.
About every other post I make proudly wears the (edited) badge. I feel you.
“It’s muh heritage”
I mean… did he ever know it?
#1. The CCCP is Soviet Russia. #2. The requirement is that Bytedance sells tiktok (along with it’s proprietary algorithms) to a US based company.
I would much rather pay for windows than become the product with ads, AI, and analytics.
Luckily this is coming at a time where I can run nearly everything on Linux that I previously needed Windows for (with the exception of a handful of games in my steam library)
This was something that brought the Democrats and Republicans together, in that both sides thought killing a healthy puppy and bragging about it was insane.
It would make more sense if you are a bot, but how precisely do you want the parties to collaborate on this topic?
That’s not the only new kid on the block. AI and blockchain eat tons of electricity.

There is a whole class of “influencers” that get paid to shill for everything from liquor to policy on every platform. Tiktok, a foreign company, owns the algorithm, so they can promote whatever they want.
This all seems sketchy, but then I recall citizens united and the fact that billions are spent directly purchasing influence in the actual government. They just don’t like some other entity putting their finger on the scale.
I’d much prefer systematic reform where money can’t buy influence and companies (US or otherwise) can’t spy on their users, yet that will never be on the table because of the money and power Facebook and others have.
I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I’ll probably never be able to completely separate due to the number of accounts linked to it, but I’ve been eyeing Proton or similar paid privacy focused offerings.
Biden is the major player in setting US foreign policy along with his cabinet and congress.
Bernie Sanders has been vocal about the atrocities committed by Israel, and would have been the nominee twice if he wasn’t fucked over by the party. I feel like he would have done an infinitely better job tackling the problems of the world today.
I’m glad Biden is talking about student loan relief, but overall he has been the disappointment I expected him to be. Yes he is better than the alternative, but that doesn’t mean he is doing a great job.
There is nothing about net neutrality in either the constitution or the bible. Clearly something like this shouldn’t be done.
I’m done with Roku. I have one in every room, but they all need to go.
Some are much more capable of disguising it during the interview process.
In the tech industry around the pandemic there was the great resignation and companies were tripping over themselves to employ as many people as possible. It was great then because you had so many options and they were all seemingly similar job descriptions.
Now the site is shitty and getting a job is terrible. Woo capitalism!
So many apps use sqlite or json files for storage without encryption; this doesn’t seem like much of a discovery.
In any case, don’t share PII or any of your deepest, darkest secrets with it.
