Oh thank god I was afraid some more kids might not get talked into suicide by a fucking server

The simple act of comparing signatures meant that it was very difficult to randomly target people. We don’t have anything like that today, like a key/token pair.

They have left us with only one solution to the billionaire problem. And they’re trying to make that difficult too, with round-the-clock security. But everyone is vulnerable for a moment here or there.

Last night I chatted with my politically moderate neighbor, who is now considering leaving the country, and cheered Luigi, and a bunch of other shit that would have been “far left” a while ago, but I think is now permeating into the middle too.

Me on drugs washing the dishes

Oh I’ve heard the “bisexual men don’t exist” thing a million times, often from gay men.

I like to shut the conversation down by waving around the statistic that for every gay man, there are 3 bisexual men.

They’re not preloading your emails, just making it look like it, by preloading a few fields (from, subject). Providers have to pay for every byte they send, so they make damn sure they’re not sending a bunch of extraneous data, at scale, for millions of users.

Specifically for “old emails” in my mind, these are emails you’d have to dig for. The act of digging up the old emails will be much more data intensive than leaving them sit, which draws no power. Your old emails aren’t kept in RAM.

I hope they tell us when it starts because I won’t notice otherwise

Well my decision to cancel Spotify last month is already paying off.

Well Trump just gave ICE an absurdly large budget so they’ve gotta be running around like rednecks that just won the lotto. I expect ICE vehicles will all be red and yellow Lamborghinis soon.

What um, what court system do you think is going to make that happen? Cause the current one is owned by an extremely pro-AI administration. If anything gets appealed to SCOTUS they will rule for AI.

There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your “leadership” education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.

It’s sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it’s only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.

The Dems finally figured out it’s incredibly stupid to keep fighting and pushing upward when it just results in a net loss for us. Took them a surprisingly long time to figure it out, and we lost a lot of rights, including trans rights, in the progress.

Yes, but the media is willing to lie for him and whatever form necessary to normalize all this

mRna is cancelled

Hell - here’s how fucked up it is - my SO worked in clinic that wasn’t open on holidays, but offered no holiday pay, so employees had to use the 10 or 14 vaca days they got to cover their 7 holidays, which they couldn’t have worked if they wanted to. ‘Ready, able, and willing’ is how the law is worded, for salaried employees. But these things are meaningless relics of old times when labor had some power and wasn’t just the fleshlight of the rich.

Everything is “evidence” when your side has “faith” and “control of the government”

Once you start playing with radiowaves and antenna you start noticing the intricate ways it plays with and around bags of water like bodies. I’m sure the original research on location/movement tracking was due to scientists trying not to get interference, later once they figured it out it was natural to see how much data they could get out of a radio interference profile.

I remember the original tech was going to be marketed as a way to tell if your old person (parent etc) had fallen down and stopped moving. Not the best use case, and then the privacy implications became clear. Once that happens the race begins to exploit the tech.

…But the eventuality here is something like a Star Trek tricorder that can take multiple vitals and detect irregularities from across the waiting room. Sensors that remember who was in a room and what settings they had. Etc. Some cool thing besides the bad stuff (microtarget those ads).

One of the ways I knew my marriage was over, he disabled location services and left them off for months and then years. I followed when I started fucking other people.

There’s no way a libel database could be a bad business model
