Because we have reached some sort of critical mass of ad blocking and anonymization online, enough that it’s starting to hurt the bottom line, so they need a solid way to track people for that shit.

Also, the US is currently being run by a rabid pack of puritan Christo fascists, ie Project 2025. Right now it’s “protect the children”, but ultimately the idea is to track and sensor and “reeducate” people.

“Oh, you search for ‘signs I am gay’? Better report to God Camp.”

Don’t even think about trying to be anything that does not fit in the box.

A quarter going to 5 or more countries feels incredibly generous.

Hell a quarter never traveling also feels like a huge under estimate.

Granted, unlike, Europe, we aren’t all a 30 minute drive from another country.

A criticism of “MAGA” I have made is, “why settle for great when we were amazing?”

And now AI is inserting itself in the insertion!

Just ask AI to make your Door Dash order for your Pizza delivery driver.

I mean, Putin probably has those tapes to hang over his little puppet.

Fox News Host

God I avoid cable news completely and completely forgetting about this.

Some fucking news anchor is in charge of shit.

Yes.

People need to stop blaming Trump.

Every fucking Republican is the problem.

All of them.

Democrats are fucking shit, but at least they are not fucking authoritarian Christo fascists.

INB4 some joker is all “bUt tHeY aRe ThE sAmE” then makes some comment about fucking Gaza.

Just 3D print some adaptors.

Yeah, checkers are so slow. Self checkout lets you slam everything across in like 5 seconds, swipe, leave.

Easy.

I work, but I end up with a shitload of downtime and feel like I am doing nothing half the time. There are days when I have literally just played games on my phone or laptop all day, at work. (We are all already across the country at different locations, in an office).

I get constant praise from everyone above me. As far as I can tell, I am like their best employee. All I can think is, WTF is everyone else doing at work?

Maybe soul has more meaning that “supernatural ghost” and more like, “actual drive and reason and purpose.”

If everyone stopped touching AI, it would stop doing anything. It is not even alive.

Do it now but alternate between playing “God is a Freak” by PRC and “Your God (God’s Dick)” by Laura Jane Grace.

Well I for one plan to go early in the apocalypse, because if there is a heaven, I want to stand by the gate watching all the asshole “good Christians” get rejected. Standing there laughing for all eternity will be my heaven.

With the way society is going, that may not be a bad thing.

The planet won’t die. Humanity might, the planet will live on and heal.

They are worse though for power user types. They do shit like omit “of” in “Ring of Fire Spells” because it seems it as meaningless but people who use search like it’s a computer instead of “Dear Gooblin pwees five me spells for rings made of fire” and get all generic and shit, it sucks.

Because power user types are precise in their search, and search engines are increasingly stripping that precision for stupid reasons.

Yeah, and it’s worse the more niche. I have no idea if Lemmy has a Fortnite community or if it’s active, but I seriously doubt it has a /r/StarWarsDroidTycoon community (a Fortnite mode), which is what I care about. Or /r/FortniteLeaks

What I don’t get with this federated software, Lemmy and Mastodon. It’s ripe for essentially, server level verification of identity. And I don’t mean check every ID of every user.

But like, this threat talks about game communities. Some larger company, Microsoft, maybe even Valve with Steam, could easily run an instance, and have “official” forums this way. Any anyone on any instance can subscribe and visit. But that way you know that like, I dunno, lame.microsoft/halo is the proper community for Halo. Sure, there may be others, but it can become the place of record with announcements etc.

Same for Mastodon stuff. But that would be more for individuals. But also stuff. Like you could have movie.studio/tom.cruise and it’s verification that it’s the proper Tom Cruise posting. That sort of thing.

Plus, smaller communities have less potential burden from a few large accounts loading the system down.

Etc.

Plot twist, this is because the person who taught her sign language thought it would be funny if they only taught her to flip the bird to everyone.

“If this is your first date, you have to fight.”

Oh God they are dumping RSS too? Fucking hell that’s the only way I even use that platform anymore since it means getting a handful of news updates on some games without going there.
