Ain't you glad you gave Reddit content for free and they're reselling if for millions?
Something tells me the victim had mental issues - which doesn't make him any less of a victim.
Is your beef that the review is fake or that it's poorly written?
Because everybody knows ALL reviews on Amazon are fake. If that's what you find depressing, I guess you've been living under a rock for the past 10 years. It's nothing new...
As for the low quality of the fake review, fear not: AI will soon make all fake reviews literary works of art. You'll soon be able to spend countless hours on Amazon enjoying high-quality machine-written reviews 🙂
During his first campaign, most people with common sense simply dismissed Trump. "Who in his right mind would vote for him?" they thought. Boy! were they in for a surprise.
Now this is his second campaign. Trump is still the same Trump as the first time but on steroid this time. He tried to stage a coup, and he's now sitting in a courtroom trying to defend his ass in a really shameful scandal.
And most people with common sense, again, dismiss Trump. Because really, this time around, who in his right mind - including the most staunch ultra-conservative bible thumping republican - would vote this guy in again?
Well, brace yourself because many, many people will inexplicably say "Watch me. Hold my beer..." on election day. It will truly boggle your mind that not only anyone voted for him at all, but in fact a sizeable portion of America has.
I'll tell you what it highlights: giant companies like Google, Microsoft and all the others making billions using free software a few dudes maintain for them for free on their own time. Instead of speaking of the vulnerability of open source software, the profiteers should pay them to ensure they have the time and resources to secure their supply chain.
As a Linux user of almost 30 years, compiling hundreds of kernels over the years has given me a great appreciation of pre-build kernels, and a profound gratitude for those who package them up into convenient distros that work out of the box and let me get on with the rest of my life.
"I'm looking for a privacy respecting vacuum robot" must be one of the most dystopian sentences I've read in quite some time.
I mean there is no lack of dystopian stuff going around these days. But if you imagine someone saying that 30 years ago, that someone would have conceivably ended up in a lunatic asylum. In 2024 however, it's a perfectly valid and apropos question.
What a sad, sad world we live in...

That's the state of computing in 2023: a browser disguised as a native app running 15 layers of Javascript is used as a friggin terminal. And nobody bats an eyelids, as if the utter insanity of it made any sense.
And the installer is 117M compressed. That's MEGABYTES... For a terminal!
The mind boggles...
If you believe Facebook will stop abusing your privacy if you pay them, I have a bridge to sell you...
I don't run Brave because Brave runs a crypto scam right in the browser.
I don't care that you can disable it, I don't care that it might be the only way they found to make a buck out of free software: anyone who dabbles in crypto is instantly sketchy. And I don't want to run a piece of software as critical as a browser made by someone who's not 100% trustworthy.
I don't know. I didn't do the printing. The law firm did it. But I remember our lawyer mentioning that they fedexed over 20 cartons of printing paper. Assuming 500 sheets per ream and 5 reams per carton, that would be 50,000 sheets, or 100,000 pages since it was printed on both sides to be even more annoying.
Privacy isn't a cutesy. It's absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, just like not doing stupid shit when you're a teenager, you get to find out how important privacy is years later when the stupid shit you did years before comes back to haunt you and it's too late.
The problem of course is that Big Data has made it exceedingly difficult and painful to maintain your privacy. Because of course the last thing they want is for you to have any. It hurts their bottom line.
Because of the corporate surveillance collective, in 2024, if you truly want to maintain your privacy, your life becomes significantly crappier than if you didn't bother. But that doesn't mean privacy isn't as important today as it's ever been.
