I’m still hoping for another season.

It was big news 75 years ago too.

You can deny it all you want, but profits still = income - expenses.

Every dollar paid to a shareholder is a dollar stolen from someone who works for a living.

You literally just did: https://feddit.org/comment/6103029

Where else do you imagine dividends come from?

Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.

It’s not for the communities, it’s for the shareholders-to-come.

It’s not really for communities either, it’s for locking communities into a corporate platform.

When accused of crimes, deflect by admitting to even bigger crimes.

The UK made an invisible weapon?

I did, I do, and I’m calling this article bullshit for not pointing out that while the protocol might be open-source, they have yet to share the server software that’s required to operate it.

BlueSky “lets” people host their own profile data because it reduces how much data they have to host. It does not allow them to login and browse the network without going through their centralized servers to do so.

So, it’s not really decentralized, not really open source, and remains under corporate control until such time as they decide to let anyone compete with them on their own network.

This is entirely doable, but you may need to do some manual network configuration.

They are unreachable. This is the most heavily propagandized country on the planet and most don’t have the education to understand our political situation. Try and explain why corporate campaign financing is a bad idea and half of us start whinging about freedom of speech.

Roughly half of the population has absolutely no clue what’s going on. Kids, old people, non-news-readers/viewers, etc.

A third of the population is vaguely aware that some shit is going down based on vibes but can’t identify the problem.

Half the remaining sixth can identify the problem as political but misattribute the cause. Leaving just a 12th of the population actually aware of our situation.

Or having a button to refresh RSS feeds.

I think it comes from the right place, though. Anything that’s smart enough to do actual work deserves the same rights to it as anyone else does.

It’s best that we get the legal system out ahead of the inevitable development of sentient software before Big Tech starts simulating scanned human brains for a truly captive workforce. I, for one, do not cherish the thought of any digital afterlife where virtual people do not own themselves.

I used to work for HostGator and sadly that sounds about right. They started going downhill fast after the second buyout.

Omfg.

I was trying to remember the name of kdirstat ladt night when I stumbled across filelight and made use of that instead.

And now there’s a thread on this exact topic. Y’all need to quit it with all this Truman Show nonsense, Baader-Meinhof alone isn’t enough to explain how frequently shit like this happens. XD

To oversimplify, they use the same type of encryption as you might see on a chip-enabled credit card.

Cloning the card isn’t enough, you’d also have to clone a specialized key-signing chip to correctly respond to authentication requests.

That’s what I said…
