My brave browser’s still working fine.

Sounds about right. Boomers are adorable.

What’s also interesting to me about this is imagining how many crimes they know about that they simply allow to take place.

100%

It is fascinating to me that the FBI desperately wanting to pretend that they’re relevant and doing actual investigative work in the Guthrie case stupidly confirmed that corporations are not only spying on us all, but feeding the data into federal databases for access without a warrant or any meaningful oversight.

Y’all, it’s wild that so much of what your dumbass, Infowars-obsessed grandparents told you is literally true and provable now.

A few people have said it, but I’m really glad my tech is always a few generations behind and I never bought into voice assistants or smart home technology. And I keep my phone in a faraday bag when not in use. That probably makes it somewhat harder for them to spy on me logistically.

Clover Cup is an annual national roller derby tournament run by the Dallas Derby Devils every March. It’s great fun. Go support them and enjoy some games. :)

I used to be a derby skater but now I announce and travel for tournaments sometimes.

Facts.

Providing security in the way that Hitler’s people did in the early 30’s.

By showing up in numbers, starting fights, and then claiming to be defending themselves. A tried-and-true Nazi propaganda tactic, and I’m glad the French aren’t standing for it.

It’s awful.

I bought a second laptop for general use, because I wanted a Linux laptop and a gaming-dedicated laptop running Windows. (Seeing as how digital surveillance made privacy more important.)

I got a very nice, used Acer for about $600 that runs everything I need AND functions well with a dual-boot, so I was thinking of selling my gaming laptop. Now? I’m holding onto it so I don’t have to get price gouged if my main computer fails.

Wild world we live in.

I see they’re taking notes from Apple.

That’s shitty.

Far right meaning Nazi in this case?

I won’t cry any tears for dead Nazis.

“Civilizational erasure”

Europeans, you want to see erasure, come over here and drive through half the abandoned small towns in Oklahoma or Mississippi, where one rich asshole decided to move the business overseas and then the entire town fucking died. (I took the no tolls route to Dallas last year for a roller derby tournament, very eye opening.)

I hate these stupid, Nazi dog whistles, even more so when they’re coming from a Cuban toadie that Donald’s people would throw in a death camp in a second if they thought they could get away with it.

If I could get all my games to work on Linux, I’d nuke my dual-boot in a second. But I’m 99% linux at least.

(And yeah, I’ve tried the compatibility tools.)

Fuck yeah, it is.

The company warned that Brussels’ policies aimed at reducing dependence on American tech companies could harm competitiveness.

Just what I’d expect a monopoly to say.

Fuck you. Alphabet.

No, what will happen is they’ll use an LLM to analyze the data.

The LLM will falsely tag millions of people.

There will be some notable wrong arrests, and then six months later those people, after having their lives ruined, will sell their stories. They don’t have the intelligence, manpower, or discipline to parse this data intelligently or accurately.

And if it makes you feel better, consider how many contexts the word ‘Ice’ can be used in.

Supposedly an accidental shooting according to the article.

But sounds fishy to me, and yes, he should be in prison whether it was accidental or not. It was either a death due to deadly negligence or he’s lying and murdered her, both of which should merit jail time.

Unfortunately guns are extra-legal here. The law or the people in most US cities doesn’t care if the shooting was supposedly accidental.

Important to remember that ICE is and has always been a bipartisan enterprise, and in fact, go look up who first appointed Tom Homan.

There are no Nazis in roller derby. (In fact, both USARS and the WFTDA are explicitly anti-Nazi.) And here in Kansas City, our WFTDA league reads an inclusion statement before every game.

Support your local roller derby league.

Also why my home gym beats my old gym membership. Higher investment up front, better returns. Well done.

This isn’t a gut feeling.

It’s giving Obama proper credit for siding with polluters, and not only that, but debasing himself with this fake water-drinking stunt in front of people who needed real help.

I don’t care what his intentions were. Flint had to wait another ten years for the lead pipes to be removed because Obama as evidenced by his actions didn’t give a fuck.
