Jerkface (any/all)

Threatening to MURDER a stranger you don’t even know the fucking NAME of because they are messing with your COD or whatever is peak toddler temper tantrum energy. If you don’t like it, FUCKING STOP SHOVING CAPITAL LEVERAGE DOWN YOUR OWN THROAT. Seriously. Don’t pretend like this is some kind of big moral or ethical thing with the flesh of vulnerable individuals still stuck between your teeth. This is childish and self-centered, not principled.

I bet NOW people are gonna care about that. After a lifetime of Facebook/Linkd-In etc, Foursquare/Strava/etc, unencrypted email, plaintext passwords, actual decades of never once creating a GPG key, using public WIFI, sticking passwords to monitors, and using “password” as a password, this is gonna be the straw that breaks the camel’s back…

Privacy is DEAD. Just wait until every camera in public is also generating a constant stream of AI observations.

I don’t even care about privacy (per se) anymore, I want just non-commercial spaces. You can see my ass if you want, I will gladly trade privacy for expression in a place I’m not being exploited by capital.

what did people think “the information economy” would look like??

i’m not saying this isn’t BAD but honestly it’s hard to care that much because the internet i care about is already dead, anyway. we need to build our own mesh network

It turns out that we were the velociraptors all along.

Isn’t that a water buffalo? Not the same animal as the American Bison (commonly known as the American Buffalo.) I think once they have a 200 year old city named for them, you just have to accept that that’s what they’re called.

Presumably not coming to Ontario…

This article is more about how shitty the Ontario voter is. Everyone knew. No one cared. He hurts the right people.

The scope of work failing to cover the necessary work discovered by billions of dollars is still pretty fucking serious no matter how you do the accounting. If Lecce and Ford had come out and said, “Folks, we did our best, but this project is gonna cost another 3 billion beyond estimates,” it would have been a lot more honest than saying it was 150 million under-budget. The scope of work isn’t important, the actual results and actual requirements are.

downvoted for bitching about downvotes, as is my people’s custom

The court should convene an emergency session even sooner and hold his administration in contempt.

This is also my assumption. They are probably getting rider telemetry from the app. But I guess that would be a huge privacy issue…

go break your toys kid

Any time you deal with Amazon, you’re either getting fucked, fucking over someone else, or both. That’s their whole business model, taking advantage of people! Just don’t.

I ask you again, of what relevance is that to the topic being discussed? The obvious relevance seems to be that it is a blatant ad hominem. I don’t care if Chompsky is a boy scout or a boy scout rapist, in the context of evaluating his arguments.

Engineered distraction from omnibus bill

We all knew who he was the first time we elected him. We LIKE this bullshit.

Imagine if all the physics Hawking wrote became invalid because he knew a sex trafficker. Why even bring that up.

1. You’re thinking of Rob Ford, not his brother Doug.

2. The Fords pioneered the Trump schtick before Trump was ever President. America often tries out their stupid ideas here first.

Alright, enough with the fat jokes
