What the fuck is going on with all the goddamned self-censorship online? It’s so shitty and depressing to see people proactively capitulate to these damn cunts and cocksuckers in power. Really pisses me off.

D’oh, forgot tits…

Why do people keep giving palmer lucky money? Do they see his name and just feel like it needs to be self fulfilling?

So, we’re at death camps now. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Fuck every last piece of the shit who voted for, or couldn’t muster the care to vote against this horrific regime. I sincerely hope they come for you next.

He’s an heir to a multibillion dollar fortune. So, he worked really hard and earned his way…

I always thought it was due to European butters being cultured (similar to yogurt).

Weird how all the “protest voters” I know, seem to have no problem with anything currently happening. In fact, any time I bring up politics, I’m reminded of how the real fascism was having to wear masks.

I agree with you but the problem is that the incentives to collect data responsibly are FAR outweighed by financial benefits of doing it, and the barrier to entry is not much larger. So, when the vast majority of data collection is abusive, and the incentive structure is there to ensure it continues to go that way, folks are understandably upset to hear about ANY data collection these days.

Current events seem to support that hypothesis.

billionaires never see justice

It’s because they have successfully convinced the majority of this country that having money makes you a better person.

It is, but I’m ready to officially throw in the towel and embrace the fact that running your own hardware is not much more than a hobby these days. I’ve preached and preached the value of multi or hybrid cloud, only for the people with money to pour it down the same hole time and time again.

I’ve always said IT is essentially an entirely CYA driven industry. Having someone to blame is more valuable for them than uptime, and if they can show their outages, even if the numbers suck, was not their fault (easy to do when all your competitors are down at the same time), it’s all good…

Update- lol, YouTube is currently down.

Agreed, one of my favorites. I always read it as satire though.
