The only way republicans keep the majority is if there some sort of terrorist attack and the dipshit in chief declares martial law and cancels midterms…. Hmm.

Playbook? The fucker is basically doing everything Putin is asking him to do.

Secure by design… what a joke.

Too late. No backsies.

Thanks. I hate it.

I’m that many years old too… 1970 represent!

I liked it better when it was just random people coming together to talk about whatever random shit you were into. It felt so much more inclusive. Like no matter how weird your hobby was, somebody out there was into it as well… or sharing very funny stories like the creation of overly engineered toasters. Or putting a camera on a coffee pot to check if there was fresh coffee. Or the stories of the BOFH.

Now it’s too controlled, monetized, enshittified, homogenized, etc. It’s not about people connecting anymore or creating content that people actually want and learn from. With all the AI generated bullshit, it’s likely not even created by people anymore. At least with goatse, tub girl, or lemon party you knew that was actual people… not sure if that’s better or worse actually. But somebody created it for others to “enjoy”… well experience might be a better word here. But you get the idea. It was people coming together because they wanted to. They enjoyed it. Now it’s all scams, rage-bait, and algorithms created to drive engagement. It’s almost like it isn’t fun anymore.

But there are places that still remind me of the old internet. Lemmy for example. It’s not exactly the same but it shares its DNA.

Makes me think I like boobs.

This is the part that infuriates me. The cops that fucked up will face no repercussions. It’s the tax payers that will foot the bill for this obviously incoming lawsuit and settlement. The solution is clear. Make cops get the equivalent of doctor’s malpractice insurance. Then make the insurance companies pay the settlement. And when the cops insurance payments go up, the cop has to pay. Or stop being a cop because they suck at it. Problem solved.

I wouldn’t nominate Jack Paul to be a gong farmer… actually I take that back. That’s exactly what he should be doing.

McDonald’s food

My box of wall warts and power supplies thanks you for this post.

No hablo inglés.

Es tut mir leid, ich spreche kein Englisch.

Je ne parle pas anglais.

मैं अंग्रेज़ी नहीं बोलता।

Извините, я не говорю по‑английски.

The whole NFT thing was one giant pump and dump.

Well then I guess I make the room a giant faraday cage.

Not to mention it seems like the apps on a smart tv get ignored when it comes to updates.

Greed and control.

Yep, basically where I was going with this.

After watching hours and hours of Lock Picking Lawyer I realize that locks are merely a deterrent for honest unskilled people.

Unless this dude looks like a complete troll I’m pretty sure he’s rolling in it with that set of skills…

Hell Im a straight dude and I wanna meet him.
