“But the planet is still there.”

Check and mate! I feel so PWN3D. You see? If you don’t mind not breathing, carbon dioxide isn’t so bad after all!

Nothing like having a “Supreme Court” where you can yoink their funding if they don’t give you the ruling you want.

Stardew Valley has been out on Android for a while now.

I’m perfectly fine with storing media on flash drives. Optical disks just adds an unnecessary step between me and enjoying my movies.

If you hang out in the politics subs, you’re going to get political shills and bots with agendas. Either learn how to detect and avoid them or just don’t hang out in those subs.

The entire art direction of “Cyberpunk 2077” just screams wealth disparity. Does something more obvious than a sunrise really need to be explicitly stated?

Every in-game NPC: “The wealthy don’t care about-” Me: “Yeah, I GOT it. Thanks.”

“The enemies of the State Trump are known. Lists of the disloyal are being compiled.”

If you have a job providing transportation, then you are on-call, whether you’re transporting customers or not. And you should be paid for BEING on-call. This is a standard practice in several industries.

If the point of taking drugs is to “enhance your performance” then Biden took every drug he should NOT have taken before that debate.

Thanks to badly written software, you can literally design “planned obsolescence” into your products.

“The computer says you need to replace your 15,000 dollar battery pack.”

“But my car is only six months old!”

“Yeah, but the Computer SAYS-”

The end of true representative democracy in this country began the moment the courts accepted the “corporations are people / money is speech” arguments. When that happened, governments stopped representing the needs of ordinary people and only listened the needs of billionaires and their lobbyists.

It’s taking decades to play out, but it’s going to end badly.

Well, what are we supposed to do? Choose a presidential candidate who was born after the Battle of the Bulge?

Using AI lets scammers target hundreds of people at once and choose likely candidates for a pig-butchering scam (rich, dumb, vulnerable, etc). Once the AI finds one, it passes the phone number on to a human scammer for further exploitation.

It’s like the old war-dialers that would dial hundreds of people and pass along the call when they got an answer from a real human being.

Yup. Gaming was one of the few things that kept me from switching to Linux. Then, I found out about Proton on Steam.

Copilot / Recall was the last straw for me. My only relationship with Microsoft for the last 10 years has been, “how much more of Microsoft’s sh*t am I willing to put up with?”

I got the “It’s time to upgrade to Windows 11” message on my Windows 10 laptop. It’s getting aggravating.

You can get laptops on Amazon now with Ubuntu pre-installed. :)

Also, make sure your password contains L’s, 1’s, 0’s and O’s in a font deliberately chosen to make them hard to tell apart.

Yup. With VOIP, you can spoof any phone number. If this technology were fixed, 99% of spam calls would disappear, and Caller ID would be worth something again. Our government is either too lazy or bought-off to fix this problem.

They DID enact the national Do Not Call list and created heavy fines for people who violate that list, while knowing full well that they couldn’t catch the spammers in the first place (because of VOIP spoofing).

Well, you give them food one day and the next day, they’re hungry again! What’s up with that?
