Bizzle

On the bright side it’s being used to artificially prop up a technology that nobody actually needs or even really wants

All shall perish in service to the one true God, the Almighty Dollar

Game of Clones was right there come on

Stremio + Torrentio does this for TV but I haven’t found an equivalent for music. Hoping to be proven wrong 🤞

Tech Bros ruin everything 🤷‍♀️

Careful now, these people LOVE their digital heroin

Don’t forget to buy everyone you know plastic garbage for Christmas!

I choose to believe that, had data centers been a thing in FDR’s time, that’s how it would be

The current administration will never do this but it would be nice

Soon we’ll have nothing left to eat but the rich.

That’s really interesting and I appreciate taking the time to write that comment, but I’d put Mac and Windows on the same team because their goals are basically the same, to transfer wealth from the consumer to the company. Linux, and open source software in general, does not have that same motivation to squeeze the consumer so of course it’s going to be better.

Mac hardware gets sold at tremendous markup because it’s so closed. Windows is little more than a vessel to show ads. Linux is a good experience from installation onward, almost regardless of distribution. Free of telemetry and runs on literally whatever, if it can run code it can probably run Linux. I have a laptop from 2011 that runs Arch with XFCE and it’s buttery smooth. My 2012 MacBook pro has been a paperweight for years and Microsoft wants me to throw away anything that can’t be tied to me personally.

That said I would MUCH rather use macos than windows, my wife has an m1 MacBook Air that I use sometimes and it’s definitely more pleasant than Windows. However, I think Linux is the odd man out. MacOS vs Windows is like stubbing your left toe vs your right toe.

I run Arch btw on my gaming PC and my old ass laptop I can show you my qualifications if you want 😂

MacOS or whatever they call it now is “unix-like” but it’s still ultimately a closed environment and definitely not the same, ethically, as a real FOSS OS. Apple doesn’t care about you any more than Microsoft or Google, they’re also in it for money.

Wow who could have possibly seen this coming

History rhymes. That sucks.

Hahahahahaha is that true?

We live in a cyberpunk dystopia right now

Elon Musk suuuuucks

Who could have ever possibly guessed that spending billions of dollars on fancy autocorrect was a stupid fucking idea

You’re not wrong — but I’m still pretty sure it was AI generated, repacking that tired old fossil fuel propaganda while using more power than my whole town will today.

Human beings don’t write like this — but AI does.

So not only are they denying the ruin that their policies have wrought, but they’re also actively fueling it because they can’t be bothered to vomit their own words onto a page. I hate it here.
