They've also restored the ability to play audio files, like archived old podcasts and stuff. Which is nice.
Still, fuck the people that randomly decided to harm Internet Archive. It was really on the threat of being a digitalized Burning of Alexandria moment.
Getting rid of the advocacy part. That's...not good.
So what does that mean in layman's terms? They're not going to have as much of a voice to sway heads about things like open internet, the flaws of copyright, the problems with privacy and surveillance.
We don't need the coomers here. We just don't.
This guy is the reason some 1,500 jobs were cut from Spotify, before the holidays. While Spotify CEO keeps giving this talking head fuck, multi-million dollar contracts.
And Joe has the audacity to claim he's 'self-made'. He's not self-made. The idiot just plays on people and takes advantage of an opportunity. He's an opportunist, but not self-made. The gullibility of anyone thinking he's worth anything is what made him.
It's a symbol about how far Republicans have truly fallen. Even George W. Bush could've and might've admitted defeat if he had lost the 2004 run. John McCain, respectfully has given Obama appraisal for winning over him in 2008. Mitt Romney was respectful too.
But 2020 with Trump? Throws the biggest fucking tantrum ever in the history of all elections and this country alone. By attempting a coup and an insurrection because he refused to admit that he lost.
Anti-Intellectualism, Anti-Abortion, The Ignorant .etc
Those also play roles.
And the fact that there were so few months left before the Election when Biden had to step aside. She had to work and work she did.
Granted the polls right now, least estimating, aren't looking great. I expect an upset though.
Wow, what a big fucking man you are...
Wonder how he'll handle jail and a court process. That's more waiting. Going to try punching the judge next? Your representing lawyer? Police officers? Dumbass.
Because it exploits how dumb the internet toy such as a karma system really is.
I like the Fediverse's handling of it. Look, I can post however much I want. Unlike Reddit, where I got to storm to AskReddit because it doesn't care about how much karma you've got, farm karma, wait for a period and then finally be able to post where I want to.
People have sadly tied their existence to this system. I mean, the higher a karma count is for someone, I've noted how much of a snobbish bastard people love to come off as. Like as if it makes them superior, regardless of the shit takes and awful arguments they project.
Karma systems invalidate thought and discussion. Do you really mean to say what you've said because you mean it? Or did you say it because you know it'll garner the most points? Quite frankly, I'd rather be saying what I want to say because some of the time, I do mean it. On Reddit, I always have had to fake myself and say stupid shit just so I can have enough points to finally post elsewhere. So many people on Reddit will say anything and do anything to make themselves feel better about themselves by phoning in thoughts, opinions and expressions. But I doubt they actually believe into half of the shit they say or do.
And when you get downvoted? Welp, be prepared to karma farm again because some subreddits will not allow you to post or just throw you into the spam filter bin because you get prompted by a 9 minute timer before you can post again. It's just an atrocious system all around that has bastardized the way people communicate with eachother. So, Fuck Reddit's Karma system, it doesn't belong here.
The mother looks like a Karen and her kids behave like little karens.
I'll throw the first stone, yes, I've shamefully spent money on games. Mostly mobile games, where it's far worse than Roblox and World of Tanks combined. I play 8-Ball from Miniclip and they shove ad after ad after ad at you to buy chips, buy chests, buy cues .etc
They have mini-games like Lucky Shot, where you have to hit the ball into one of the targets. Doesn't matter how soft you hit it, it's a bitch to get the ball into the target zone. They have a spinning wheel for chips, it ALWAYS lands on the lower valued number. Always. Like, all of these obviously rigged tricks and scams into the game. And you finally play a game or two and you'll run into players with the best shit who'll win games over you in seconds. Because they've got the better shit. It's just hard to compete with the whales.
These mobile games like to make you feel special at first. But if you play it long enough, you will hit a wall. And when you hit that wall, it's like dealing with a constant panhandler, only in the form of this game, where they want you to pay and pay.
