Yes, I also hope it doesn't blow up in their faces and a crazy Minecraft player doesn't decapitate the justices who voted in favor of this.

Again.

Fascists get very, very upset when the rest of us, the reasonable people, don't want fascism. They are disappointed in us when we don't want to be ruled by their rulers.

They are truly stupid and harmful human beings and they should be loudly ostracized in every community in which they dare to advocate for fascism.

Absolutely. Between Ticketmaster and LiveNation, almost every performing venue in the United States is completely dominated.

We desperately, desperately need legitimate anti-trust actions in the United States; we need something that will reintroduce some actual competition into the market.

The first failure of the federal government that led to this path was in the 1990s and the Microsoft Antitrust Trials. That was the point at which there really could have been another way--but the billionaires, at that point, had all the inroads to government that the Reagan Administration made possible. Because Microsoft could buy politicians, the vast majority of people on the planet have never used any operating system other than Windows, and the Microsoft company gets billions upon billions of dollars from state/federal/municipal contracts.

Google and Apple, then, just followed the path that Microsoft bought and paved through government regulations. And that made it easy for other billion dollar companies like Ticketmaster and LiveNation to do the same thing in other realms--simply buy the laws, buy the politicians, buy the system that's supposed to regulate them, and then use that system to remove all competition.

As time moves forward, I think more and more frequently about trying to get out of this shithole counry.

Yes.

The answer is that this is all a bunch of stupid bullshit and that the Trumplicans truly don't give a damn about laws that no one can force them to follow.

At this point, there's really no point in trying to look for consistency or rational justification for anything these people do.

The article makes me wonder if Waltz is intentionally countering the counter-revolution.

Either that, or he's just stupid as fuck.

Maybe both.

All the apps that collect user data that has nothing to do with the actual function or purpose of the app.

Like--why does this solo word puzzle game need access to my contact list, camera, and location?

Article littered with affiliate links.

And it also doesn't make sense.

Maybe they're trying to get potential players of Elder Scrolls VI so hyped that they'll still play the new game even if it's sold 'games as a service' style

in which case, fuck that

Yeah, I think they're banning/blocking using AI right now. Either that, or they literally have the moderators fully on board with their Right-wing campaign.

If you really want to see what things like banning/suspension do, check out your Contributor Quality Score (CQS) here when you can: https://old.reddit.com/r/cqs/

I went from 'Highest' to 'Lowest' with one ban, and as far as I can tell, your CQS has an impact on the visibility of your posts.

I don't trust any of these polls.

There is no system of government in the world that has been able to stand up to individuals with billions and billions of dollars.

The billions and billions of dollars have all the power and no system can escape that power.

We need to stop the billionaires.

Things aren't bad for him yet, and that's the only way he knows if things are bad.

Investigators were alerted to his accounts after finding an unusually high number of log-ins and failed log-ins from an unfamiliar devices, locations, or networks. That information is tracked by Google, per the affidavit. Other unusual activity was traced through Payne's VPN or network provider.

So, Google stopped him, and his VPN provider. I'd like to know who his VPN provider was.

They're openly rejecting court order and legal precedent.

Unless someone starts enforcing these court orders, they're just going to keep doing things.

They're running the Nazi playbook. Word for word, step by step, just updated with newer propaganda.

This is so good.

1990s TNG had a good heart.

Yeah? I'll do this if I'm forced to use Outlook for work again.

Other than the paltry poverty-wages they pay employees, almost every dollar that locals spend in a big box store leaves town and travels straight into some billionaire pocket.

I'm interested in knowing this too as I'd like to migrate everything I do to a non-invasive platform.
