I didn’t know until I learned the hard way that babies are called miracles because so very many pregnancies aren’t viable and the babies die. It’s not just common it’s VERY COMMON. I sincerely hope nobody reading this ever has any reason to think I’m anything but full of shit. :(

See I bet you think that would make things better, don’t you?

It won’t. It will make them so much worse.

Unless the EU (government) runs it, you’re going to get the world’s shadiest App Store or Sores possible.

“Just don’t use the shady ones then.”

That’s great until:

1. It’s your SO or kid accessing it and they don’t know any better.
2. You just bought something (an appliance, a vehicle, an FPV drone, whatever) and it requires you to use an app, and that app is an exclusive on the shadiest App Store possible.

“That doesn’t happen on android!”

It will absolutely happen with Apple, because there’s so much money that will be up for grabs.

I hope you like signing up with all your personal data and credit card information on app stores that make Apple look like saints, because that’s where this is headed, and sadly you’ll drag me with you.

Because again this hypothetical thing you bought might be a family member buying it, so it won’t even be up to you at that point.

This is what I see happening in the future.

The way to avoid it is to get rid of app stores completely, and have users download and install apps one by one. Like that’s going to happen.

Sure. MAGA doesn’t give a fuck f you or someone you love dies

Lots of rural Washington is MAGA/Nazi territory. Especially Eastern Washington.

And apparently the state has a history of problems with private militias, because the state constitution guarantees firearm ownership for self defense while at the same time forbidding belonging to a militia.

So this story isn’t a surprise.

Todd Lyons, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told FOX News that agents were doing their law enforcement duty during the raid.

“We should be supported, not being called Nazis, not being villainized,” he said.

Fuck off, Todd. Your brown shirts raided an Italian restaurant. They weren’t saving hostages or something.

Nobody cares about hurting Nazis feelings.

I’m so fucking proud of San Diego right now.

I have a 20TB seagate exos drive in my main pc and I hate it. Partly due to my case, but it’s noisy and does an obnoxious head reset (or whatever) every 7 minutes or so. It’s so loud.

Anything to not help poor people in your own country, right Bill? His state has so many poor and homeless folks and he just doesn’t care.

Not that Africa doesn’t - he’s got enough money that he could do both, though.

I hope my fellow Democrats are finally beginning to see why disarming ourselves was such a bad fucking idea.

No, I don’t want people to run around randomly murdering each other. These laws haven’t stopped that.

It’s going to be hard to fight fascism when only the fascists are armed.

Then you get the smug assholes posting questions like, “Hey gun owners why aren’t you standing against tyranny for me?” as though I could do shit alone.

ROFL no. I once knew someone who got offered an upgrade from whatever to Windows 10, only for it to fail half way through because their CPU was some weird corner case that the OS thought it supported but when it was time to boot… didn’t.

Also if you want to talk e-waste, look no further than Chromebooks.

Windows 11 has problems, this is hardly one of them.

Also SpaceX. Fuck SpaceX - that actually hurts me to type, but yeah fuck 'em. Their employees should all go work for a competitor.

If you still use twitter (no, asshole, you don’t get to own a letter of the alphabet - fuck off) then you are part of the problem.

First of all he already ruined the nation. We’re fucked.

Second, he gutted everyone who had any chance of stopping his various evil companies from doing evil shit. Mission accomplished on his part.

Third, if there were any justice he’d see it all completely undone and rot for the rest of his life in prison. But, since he’s the richest man on the planet, there will NOT be ANY justice, and the best we can hope for is that he flies the fuck to Mars where he can be the Martian emperor and hopefully not bother the rest of us.

Fuck him. Fuck all of his companies. I used to love SpaceX and even Tesla (Pre-pandemic they made really good cars, my friends had some, they kicked ass.) Now? Burn it all down and like I said I hope he fucks off to Mars, preferably taking God-Emperor Trump with him.

Ok that app is deleted.

All the soulless companies that employ temporary tech workers in the US for the mega corporations here just collectively got erections. This is their goal.

Unlike social media?

The fucking healthcare conglomerate (owned by UnitedHealth, yes that one) that bought up the majority of medical practices in my region just sent me a completely unsolicited debit or credit card.

They don’t provide my health insurance. They’re just who owns most of the doctors offices around here.

The early adopters certainly are. You still see plenty of them including cybertrucks, unfortunately.

One of my friends is considering replacing his with Lucid cars.

They’ve had Teslas since well before Elon was problematic publicly.

Hey remember when Google used to have a motto, “Don’t be evil”?

Used to.

Yup it’s mostly bullshit. Someone, somewhere might benefit, but certainly not any of the people within two thousands miles of where the rich guy lived. Which is still better than nothing, but Bill Gates could end homelessness in America immediately if he chose to do so. (I’m not saying it would be easy or fast, just that he has the money to make it happen.) He could make ALL COLLEGE FREE for students. Musk could have too, likely for less than he spent on Twitter.

It sounds like Klarna is a nightmare that should be avoided as much as possible.
