dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This will also incentivize device makers including automakers to connect their devices and do the processing of most data on centralized services rather than shelling out for the 2GB of DRAM they’d previously put in the car or whatever the device is. Meaning less privacy, mandatory connected capability, more fees eventually passed onto the workers, better of the surveillance state. The interests of tech capitalists are now completely aligned with the surveillance state’s interests for the first time in quite some time (previously there was at least some public friction and what surveillance they did was via backroom secret deals that meant evidence gathered couldn’t be used in open court only by the intelligence community).

And to make the final preparations for a 'War with China'.
