I mean it does seem to adequately represent the American corpocracy bureaucracy.

Absolutely not the case… I sense a bad case of Stockholm syndrome.

Yes, for the amount of hate Google gets… Which I think it is fair to be critical of any product that compromises privacy… I recently tried helping my mom clean up her iPhone, and seriously like 100x worse. Almost everything you do on Apple demands you have another Apple device. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever dealt with.

For them to disappear with it

Lol, we’re going to end up in a WW3, aren’t we?

At least KDE is working on making their Qt apps cross-platform. Unfortunately most GNOME apps I know of receive updates for a couple years & then die off like this, and will occasionally get replaced. I think the issue partly stems from the pain points that have come with GTK+.

I wouldn’t trust them to not randomly enable WiFi, but you can also use their modem but disable any built in WiFi on it & still use your own router. ISPs continue to try to bundle their modem & router, which gives them complete access to your home network. Some lucky people have found fiber providers that let them use their own SFP.

Pretty much no issues at this point. In fact, in some ways I feel NVIDIA has done better than AMD recently.

A better question would be, why do domains cost so much.

They’re referring to all the subsidized bureaucratic closed-source monopoly-spyware that they force you to buy for NSA-purposes.

Hm, let’s not forget this gem:

The government also wants you to believe that Hamas is running AI bot farms with fiber ethernet under all that ruble. But what they don’t warn you about:

Look at that, they’re not weeks or months away from human rights breaches, but actively engaging in them openly. We finally have a report agreeing with what everyone with eyes can see.

We’ve become the United States of Israel. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. They put Israel first, not Americans.

I think the appropriate headline should be:

“Reddit in talks to embrace iris-scanning Orb to verify users created by man alleged by his own sister to have molested her throughout her childhood beginning at age 3.”

I have a Premium subscription, but I can give you an even bigger reason to never use YouTube. They actively push brain rot in their search. No matter what words I use to search for something, it is almost always the same results. Looking for nostalgic videos from the 90s? YT: “Here is the most recent brain rot on the Internet.”

The first mistake was the agency allowed the United States to join it.

True, lest not forget who has behind pretty much every recent conflict & escalation in the Middle East. Israeli influence in American politics is out of control:

Allies don’t draw you into provocative & endless wars so you can fight on their behalf. They don’t use agents to black mail & control your politicians, & to influence your corporations & media. Nor do they buy them off or influence them to act against the interests of their people.

There is only one terrorist nation in the Middle East right now the US needs to worry about, and the least they could do is stop funding their genocides with tax payer money.

The same US that has continuously gave unconditional support & weapons for murdering over 50,000 in Gaza since October 7, 2023, including over 20,000 children? The same US that killed over 100,000 civilians in Iraq? Obama had Chelsea Manning imprisoned & subject to years of inhumane punishment for showing the American people what was actually going on. Really does take a lot of pretending to walk in your shoes.

Bunker bitch Netanyahu immediately retreated to his bunker to feed on dead Palestinian children.

They hit Netanyahu & his cabinet?
