Fucking hell

I hope someone does more than strongly protest if I’m murdered.

I came here after the Reddit API mess but still posted on Reddit.

Got a temporary Reddit ban for a short statement saying Biden was caught genociding, then recently a permanent ban for saying the only way Trump is leaving office is if 100,000 people drag him out. “Inciting violence.”

Going corporate is never good.

Flash drives?

YouTube?

They were quick easy meals to pack for your kid but the nutritional value was suspect.

It’s not exactly a crack down if they are just labeling the videos.

Yes…that’s how big tech advertising industry works. It’s how Google and Facebook make billions. How do they not know this?

People are so obsessed with contacting aliens, but maybe they are really really annoying.

All while encouraging racial violence in the USA.

So many good things there, but their legal system seems wacko.

When I read the news for the past 17 months or so, I swear it gets dumber every day.

Maybe because of weird new gear selectors and various other untraditional controls.

Or they vote for the cruel ignorant person who they think will punish the bad people, but not them or their friends and family.

They way I see it, computers are tools. They can just as easily be used for good as evil.

If people were going around smashing vehicles with hammers, we would (hopefully) work on better law enforcement than ban hammers. Same sort of thing with computers, we need standards and regulations.

To me it means the hero might have done something notable or impressive but once you meet them in person you realize they are just people with the same faults and annoyances as everyone else.

1970s and 1980s in rural Virginia, most people didn’t lock their doors and kids ran around outside until dark. Our phone was a party line, meaning if I picked up the phone I might hear a nearby neighbor already on the line having a conversation, so I would just hang up until the line was free. We were comfortable but not wealthy. By the end of the 1970s and early 1980s we had a microwave and a VCR. Video rental stores were starting to be popular. Going out to eat at Pizza Hut was a big deal.

Mid/late 1980s and onward, technology started making a bigger difference. I got a Commodore 64 computer, we moved to a small town and got cable television and MTV, I got a modem for the Commodore 64 and started logging into BBS systems. Those two things definitely expanded my horizons a lot. In the early 1990s a year or two before the Internet got big I played one-on-one Doom with a guy from Norway via modem, that seemed like magic at the time.

1990s and onward more internet, more television, more corporations, more technology, it just got faster and faster. Once we had our magic pocket computers that did phone calls, email, text messages, navagation, etc everything has just been evolutions of that with more storage and faster processors.

Well I said and/or because a lot of con men consider themselves to be future billionaires.

The ultra-rich can be very ignorant.
