I feel like you’re overlooking the death of the culture.

That’s what colonialism is really about.

If it were just sharing space and technology and advancement then nobody would have any problems with colonialism.

Colonialism extinguishes culture.

Every single space that has been monopolized by a billionaire has had its culture extinguished.

But it is colonialism. There are virtual spaces that are currently occupied by native inhabitants and deep pocket billionaires are literally bulldozing their way into the space, evicting the current tenants, and then exploiting that space for its resources.

I don’t think there is a better term for it than colonialism.

Would it matter if it were communist colonialism? I don’t think so. The result is the same. The space is disrupted, the native inhabitants are displaced, the resources are exploited.

Only everybody gets their pocket picked

They say scientists are saying this but is it like all scientists, the majority of scientists, a significant or intelligent minority of scientists, or is it just like this one person and because it’s an alarm worthy headline it’s being amplified?

My solution for this is if you absolutely cannot bypass the connect Network to set up function, set up a hotspot on your phone. Let it download it’s you know what 150 MB update and then turn off your Wi-Fi hotspot

I wonder how long it’ll be before people start getting hit with dmcas for taking pictures of it and showing it off to people

It’s almost like the legislators are more concerned with swinging their dicks around than with actual safety and best practices.

The playbook as I understand it is that they offer a community improvement for free at first to get you hooked and then once everyone is entirely reliant upon it that’s when they do the rug pull.

So there is a good chance that Google search will improve for the next 6 to 18 months while they are doing this just know that this is a temporary reprieve from the enshittification solely to prime the engine for the enshittification to get massively worse.

I’m willing to bet you’re still ending up in their database. Unless you are using some sort of VPN to first obfuscate your location and then a brand new account that has not been used before, then there’s going to be some record of similarity.

When I’m installing Windows 10 or 11, I use the Rufus installer to create a pre-built admin account that I can sign in with.

Oh yeah?

Open edge and search for something. Check in the top right corner and tell me you’re not signed into some sort of pseudo-created Microsoft account.

Not to mention that Microsoft forces you to use a Microsoft account when you create your account on your home computer which is then automatically logged in to edge and *bing so that they can track and quantize more of every single thing you do on the internet to monetize you

I think it’s the second one, because every time I’ve heard the objection about the Sun not working at night it has always been in the form of a gotcha and not in the form of a question like, how do we deal with this issue?

And it mitigates the current red herring of the anti-solar groups complaining that solar “generates too much electricity during the day, and not enough at night”.

With an effective and balanced grid storage system across the country, we can recharge the batteries during the day and then use the power at night.

My mom was still paying for dial-up AOL in 2016. She had been paying them $20 a month for over a decade while having high-speed internet that she was also paying for.

When I asked her why she didn’t cancel it, she said she would lose her email.

So I canceled it because AOL provides free email because they make money off of the ads.

Reddit sold whatever soul it may have had to the devil, as does every company that goes public.

It’s literally taking our words and our conversations and using them to train an inhuman computer system to sound more human.

And we are not allowed to say no.

It doesn’t get more devilish than that on the internet.

And of course, I deleted my account when this whole debacle happened, but I’m sure they’re still taking all of my old comments and selling them to any person with a dollar.

They’ve made it incredibly clear that anything you post on their platform is theirs, and if they do something you don’t like you can go fuck yourself.

Fuck Reddit.

You can also find a cheap laptop with like a 7th gen Intel or newer processor and use that with a wireless keyboard and mouse and an HDMI cable.

Bang for your buck it’ll be the best deal for you

I’m sure if you search the internet there are quite a few pie hole block lists that are very easy to add.

Shoot for the Tony Starks but don’t miss cuz otherwise you’ll end up among the Elon musks
