About a year ago I saw coverage on IA getting reamed for the cases they were dealing with, there were many takes during then and it turned out the way it did (and continues to) but my take on it basically extends from what the govt did to Swartz, in that IA had to deal with all of that almost entirely on their own and take on the mental turmoil, meanwhile Meta et al not only got away and continues to get away with it but in fact are now partnering up with other mega corps doing the same shit, for profit. It dead set almost feels like they’re mocking us by going this far with these ventures, they’re like “Yeah the govt moralized and killed someone for the same shit we’re getting govt contracts for and ADVERTISING ON OUR OWN PLATFORMS, gonna do something about it? Mad?”.

All of this amounts to the most open and shut case of “if you have enough money, you can get away with anything”

Personally I just wished the official apps sucked less, at least I have Phanpy though.

Being an elder Gen Z (1998) adds a special layer to this cuz I’m pushing 30, running an open-source OS everywhere I can and I’m indirectly being called an iPad baby lmao

The other day my Mum was locked out of her Apple TV account for some reason, by some miracle she managed to get back on and all I could think of was how much easier this’d be if we just torrented everything and just used some Jellyfin client.

Wouldn’t it be easier to implement it like Steam did where account age and payment options were considered? They’re basically asking for 2011 to just happen again willingly.

This coming up not a fortnight after his floundering interview with The Bulwark is some Curb Your Enthusiasm level comedy, there’s not even really an “at best” to look for in American politics, a handful of progressive anomalies that came about after MONTHS of tireless campaigning that we can only pray result in a trend toward some kind of wave but that’s it, pay the right Democrat just enough money and they’ll be dancing like a GOP worm.

The backing from OpenAI almost certainly hinges on the hopes that Sam Altman’s World Identity bullshit will get entrenched too as a result from this getting passed, this guy is a threat to international security.

His Filthy Frank/Pink Guy aping years are definitely evident of that lol, beastmaster64 swimming into the sea to catch a Pokemon made for some funny moments.

I think there’s an option to sync PeerTube channels with YouTube channels in the backend.

He’s gonna discover Matrix and donate a mill cuz of the slow load times lmao

He has had some serious run ins with controversy like the bridge incident and a shooter co-opting the T-Series fake beef but beyond that it’s basically people reacting seriously to him aping Filthy Frank, in my opinion I think he’s made good enough on not shooting himself in the foot now, mostly probably cuz he’s a Dad now and trying to ape Filthy Frank is too much effort.
