The US government has stake in Intel. Don’t trust them anymore.

12ft got taken down sometime last year, iirc.

That would explain why adguard’s public DNS started blocking it (labeled vaguely as “legal request”).

Welp time to go grab a beer so I can toast to this! That is a kickass win.

Drugs or journalism, knowing the current political climate. Godspeed to OP either way - you’re (possibly) fighting the good fight 🫡

That’s fair. I forgot briefly that fediverse has that political side lol but meant more the technology of “broadcasting” and inter-site communications. Seems a better comparison than email at least.

So Usenet was the first fedi site? Reassuring that the concept predates the current paradigm and still has legs, however niche it is atm.

Thiel called him up and pretended to be Canada

Once again: Fuck Samsung and fuck Israel.

Their TVs suck too. The remotes barely respond and they’re bogged down with ad-riddled garbage to the point I had to set up a parental lock just so I wasn’t force-fed trashy, outdated reality TV at 300 decibels when I power the damn thing on. Or worse, when the power goes out and it decides to blast at 3 AM. Unfortunately I didn’t make the choice to buy this thing.

Their phones are also locked down proprietary horse arse. I don’t understand the people who repeatedly pick the brand, but oh well.

When I think of a scam, I think a one-off, obviously amateur attempt. An email with awful grammar saying the government will fine me a bajillion dollars if I don’t download a file is a scam. A scam will also leave you alone.

A grift is done by career slimeballs. Used car salesmen, big C-suites and corrupt politicians are grifters. It’s more offensive and more aggressive. You can’t escape a grift.

Kinda reminds me of when Lizardbyte had a falling out with the Arch base re:Sunshine.

It sucks but I can understand considering how terminally online and entitled a lot of users are, plus there’s an AppImage for this still so hopefully that covers the gap.

This makes me want to get rid of my iPhone even more

I’m going to hold onto the spark of your optimism until I can light my own; your perspective does help and I hadn’t considered it. Thank you /gen /pos

One can only hope, but knowing how fucking stupid my right-wing, sycophantic, fellow countrymen are I doubt much will change.

Pretty sure everyone who voted against him already hates him though.

This is the time for Nintendo to whip out a lawsuit

That’s also a fair point. The other side was always listicles and quizzes and celebrity gossip which is never high quality. Now it’s just the slop + AI.

Regurgitated articles from 4 years ago still pop up on my Apple News app (I only use the free stuff though). They can’t even make new content.

Tbf it was half decent when they still had Buzzfeed News, which was actual journalism. They shut that down in 2023 though.

How Buzzfeed of him.
