When you are privileged equality looks like a downgrade.

  • before y'all try to "own" me or "ratio" me for not confirming to the hive mind, please kindly reread my comment and explain exactly what you think my motive was in writing this before replying. Anyone who fails to do that, whatever they could type holds no value in my tired eyes.

  • cishet white men: exist

    some marginalized groups: "THEY ARE TRYING TO OPPRESS US, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HATES US AND IS PART OF THE SATAN WORSHIPPING WHITE CISHET PATRIARCHY AGENDA, THEY TOO COWARDLY TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND LET SOME OLD WHITE GUYS TELL THEM WHAT TO DO"

    cishet white men: "fuck taxes, man. Btw when you figure we gonna get a sensible politician? Same shit we saw our parents wondered every four years when we were kids, amirite?"

    • Why does everyone hate Cloudflare?

    Jump

  • Despite being a paying customer, my biggest gripe with them is their lack of concern for freedom of speech. They decided they can "de-platform" sites that they are not aligned with, which is shitty when A) they've basically cornered the SMB CDN/DDoS-protection space B) they are fine with these sites in their customer base until a pressure campaign they don't feel like battling surfaces.

    This is referring to the KiwiFarms vs Keffles situation, where Keffles made false claims to Cloudflare about KiwiFarms endorsing/promoting suicide in an attempt to prevent her leaked discord convos from spreading. Cloudflare caved without question and suspended KiwiFarms' account without warning.

    Otherwise, I have personally never had an issue with Cloudflare. But I am still going to look for alternatives because I don't think it's cool for companies with that kind of responsibility to bend a knee to bad actors out of fucking convenience.

  • Then do your mind a favor, just catalogue their name in your mental book of "people who deserve no thought or time, ever, period" and go about your day.

    Long story short, they are an attention whore/drama queen that likes to get people in a tizzy to boost their ego. Same dysfunction as Drewiepoodle.

    • Netflix considers adding in-app purchases and ads to games, report says

    Jump

  • This is truly absurd.

    Netflix basically bought the rights to republish versions of established mobile games as "Netflix Edition" titles with ads and in-app purchases removed as a value add to subscribers to get them into their games ecosystem. And now they want.... to put ads and micro transactions back? I understand the reasoning behind it obviously-- they need a return on their investment-- but that is a clean about-face from their initial strategy

  • I swear to fucking Stallman, this is at least the fourth time this past week I've seen a unique post about this same fucking shit. One dude writes an article going "xrandr let's you rotate the screen 22 degrees" and the holiday tech news cycle just loses its mind.

    • Is it time for 6G already? Traffic analysis says yep

  • Silicon Valley really wants to make XR a thing.

    Current tech does not need 5G and the shit that they think will need 6G is just needless XR systems that will be steaming an unjustifiable amount of data from the "cloud".

  • July 2007 — a suggestive image of Wikipe-tan (not drawn by Kasuga) was proposed for use in the article on lolicon. The image was removed from Commons by Jimbo Wales, who called Wikipe-tan a "community mascot" who should not be subject to such "pedophilic sexualization". Kasuga later drew a new image for the article which did not use Wikipe-tan.

    Poor Jimbo ain't get enough credit for putting up with this shit.
