It really has. We’re so conditioned into accepting this abusive relationship where we can’t opt out of questionable stipulations during signups and purchases.

When I saw this earlier today, I almost just mindlessly consented without a 2nd thought. What stopped me was wondering:

• what shitty thing they got in trouble for
• if this a precursory legal maneuver because our user data has been compromised
• or if they are doing wholesale transactions with data brokerages, AI companies, law enforcement, etc.

I’m about ready to just leave the fucking job hunt and start my own business. Been at it since last May and have landed a total of 5 interviews.

Hello, would you be interested in an exciting career as a writer at Wall Street Journal?

• Edited: I forgot the image, and I also clarified that you can contact them to optout on the legal page I linked to.

Nexus 5 with CopperheadOS . it was such a solid combo in terms of speed and lack of corporate bloatware. Oh, and the vibration mechanism needs to be brought back.

I like how God decided to ragequit The Sims game he was playing.

I demand a primitive cave drawing. Otherwise, it didn’t happen

Damn, this guy seems all about the healthy lifestyle.

Gaslighting. Pure And simple. Which, is and has always been, one of the most disgusting tactics an abuser deploys for self-serving reasons.

I fucking hate Medium almost as much as I hate the tech industry’s disregard to earning our consent through honesty.

I’m out of the loop on that one.

Oh no, I did some math and I realized I’ll forever be a big dummy for not participating in this once in a lifetime moment…

I’ll never know what it’s like to throw $20+ at a shitty streaming platform that’s hyping a videogame trailer that was made by a union busting game studio. I’ll need to choose between giving up $80 worth of groceries for the base game, or I’ll need to give up $100 worth of food for the full game since they paywalled additional content.

All in all, that’s over a hundred dollars in the hole.

Fuck.

That.

Hey, try out OnlyOffice if you need something that can handle word docs that have style/layout breakage. It’s also open source and most distros have it in their repo. It feels like a well polished piece of software.

People need to police their neighborhoods. Using AI as the touchpoint for routing emergencies sends a really clear message; the cops aren’t prioritizing the public safety aspect of their job. But then again, acab exists because they’ve always prioritized the power of the state and the financially connected.

Literally any and all of them. I dropped Google services in 2017.

Holy shit… I don’t want this to be the new normal.

I’m not.

And? What fucks are there left to give about a publically malicious/murderous government buying a publically malicious company which publically destroys their creatives ability to stay alive in this capitalist shitscape?

I want the heart and soul of those studios (the creatives) to create a tsunami of indie studios to revive the long lost connection between the gamers and the makers.

We have to support indie devs if we want gaming to be better for all involved.

Thanks for this. I should have known it’d be somewhere like that.

Never knew about Esperanto, but that was fun to learn about.

Damn, didn’t know he was all kinky like that

Thanks. It’s the only swipe enabled keyboard I’ve found for my degoogled phone. They have their own F-Droid repo as well
