- Comment on Google begins requiring JavaScript for Google Search 1 day ago:
Seriously, that’s such an absurd statement. It implies that the client-side affects the actual results.

It’s all greed. It’s been a while since this was discussed as far as I know, but wasn’t there talk about making Internet service into a utility and be regulated like the power and water companies? There should be a flat fee and that’s it. None of this tiered or capped bullshit. It’s alllllllll pure insatiable greed.

- Comment on Meta says it’s mistakenly moderating too much 1 month ago:
They’ve publicly admitted to conducting harmful social experiments and they said “oh weee sowwwy.” Why they weren’t fined $1B is beyond me. Oh wait… it’s because they’re Big Brother’s first line of recon.

You mean rich spoiled man-children who are nothing more than insecure adolescent tweens going through puberty and having sexually frustrated tantrums because girls just laugh at them, and their narcissism is so all-consuming that their only emotion is disdain and goal in all the world is more and more self-gratification and the insatiable pursuit of total control of everything, because they know deep down they will never ever be the recipients of genuine respect or admiration.
Yeah that’s what I thought you said. Slight faux pas.

I ran an IT company for many years until I became disabled. But I do tons of tinkering selling and supporting still as a hobbyist etc. most of them are laptops. My lab used to have 14 full tower chassis systems Buto got rid of all of those once their functionality was not needed anymore after I closed the business. I mean - computers that I use daily is basically like three or four laptops and a few Android phones. A couple of tablets an iPhone an iPad an Android tablet. Also a few really old vintage devices just for shits n giggles.
I mean… I got started in tech a long time ago. As in the early 1980s.

- Comment on Apple reportedly facing first-ever EU fine over App Store rules 2 months ago:
Over the past few years the EU has become my hero. They’re cracking down on companies for unethical behaviors in a time when the USA is rewarding those companies for unethical behaviors. The EU tells companies they must do XYZ. In USA companies tell the US government what to do. Because they own them.
