The Quuuuuill

that’s not what anywhere is reporting, where are you seeing that?

yeah i’m not surprised. it’s just like… something i didn’t know. plus i assume most marks in america at this point are maga so if he wants to scam them he has to put on the scamming hat

jesus, he’s maga too!? how does one man contain so much concentrated bullshit

they’re creating a new religion before our very eyes. best to get versed in discussing theologies because that’s the propaganda language they speak and how we’ll deprogram enough of them to survive this

yeah. i’m fully willing to believe a bunch of these tech ceos are neurodivergent as they claim. HOWEVER. we all know neurodivergent people who don’t weaponize their neurodivergence to justify eugenics, mass surveillance, or just plain being shitty to people. we don’t have to respect your autism excuse when you do something shitty and then ask you why you did that.

people been saying how we as a society measure browser usage is all wrong. i’ve thrown up my hands at this point. the people with the most to gain from correcting this systemic failure, mozilla, have fully committed to sacrificing everything that made themselves valuable. i will continue to use the outcome of their work, at least in part, via zen at work and librewolf at home. as they continue to chase a market that isn’t there—people who don’t want to use a browser with the problems of chrome, but with all the problems of chrome—maybe at some point they’ll realize that they are wasting time and resources on a lost cause and dedicate themselves to some other course of action. but at this point i have more hope that zen and librewolf contributors will fork gecko, switch to goana, or servo will grow into something than that mozilla will ever get their shit together.

me and my wife have this dynamic. i’m from southern appalachia and she cannot understand the shanendoah or allegheny accent at all. if i say something particularly idiomatic she’ll ask me what i mean because our verb syntaxes carry a little extra information AND we have tonals

the regulations on intensity never presumed we’d use such small arrays to produce that intesity. in the cabin, the lights projected onto the road don’t seem that different from 20 years ago. but from the other way it’s dazzling

even though the theology of it is a lot more like “that is your god, and you belong to his people. it’s a lot of responsibility, he throws tantrums a lot”

he also was the subject of much ridicule in hip hop from how he treated his tenants back in the 80s. the #1 thing with his cult of personality is the best time to realize he’s evil was 50 years ago. the second best time is today

for ~13 years now, actually. this guy has been nonstop in our political zeitgeist

especially when the rich have no hesitations to comply and cooperate with fascist regimes

oracle

frankly this is because israel knows exactly how much spyware they’ve gotten their partner, Google, to put into android. the iphone is also chock full of spyware, and they do want to spy on their military force to make sure it’s as ideologically and racially pure as they need it to be to continue their genocide. further consider that budget iphones don’t exist and you realize that their systemic impoverishing of the indigenous Palestinian people means that all of the targets of their genocide are much more likely to be android users than iphone users. given this, israel is in real time creating a new signifier of jewish-israeli identity. soon having an android phone as civilian will be evidence of HAMAS.

and again.

i want to remind everyone that google is a major partner to israel. this is not a case of iphones bad guys, android phones good guys. this is a case of both being components in a system of torture. i can’t tell you yet to divest yourself of both to switch to linux phones like postmarketos because even i can’t do that without buying a new device, but please watch that space. and until you can, if you’re using a google pixel please consider installing grapheneos, and if you’re not please consider using a de-googled lineage based rom. israel greatly values the intel they get from their partner google.

also gotta establish as much precedent as possible to normalize this

yup. oracle bought sun microsystems and promised to keep opneoffice going while firing everyone working on it or shifting them to other “higher value” projects like java. so then the people who had loved working on open office founded the open document foundation and forked to libreoffice. oracle then rushed out a couple shitty open office versions before donating it to the apache foundation for a tax break

i’d probably direct people to Joplin

the sentiment could probably be conveyed without the anti-polish stereotyping…

merger with who? i haven’t heard anything relating to this. i’m willing to buy in though given what happened to colbert

who is “they” in this scenario, and keep in mind as you answer that russia has a well documented history of using hybrid warfare to weaken opponents in their imperial aims including, but not limited to:

• pumping antivax content in eastern Ukriane
• funding AfD political propaganda in Germany
• using content farms to post on facebook and twitter to influence USA elections for the last decade further to the right
