- Comment on Microsoft is killing its “free” VPN with Microsoft 365 subscriptions, just days after increasing prices 2 weeks ago:
They departed the competitive approach long ago. Now they’re just taking the desperate or the involuntarily dependent for all they can. Those types who went full MS for an ecosystem just don’t have any alternative.

Why did the name get changed? U.S.A. needed another ego stroke? Our public perception of nonstop ego-masturbation slowing down?
- Comment on FCC demands CBS provide unedited transcript of Kamala Harris interview 3 weeks ago:
Media bias? Always has been some. So I eagerly await when will Fux Nuze get raked over the coals? Because they’re the biggest propaganda mill of horse shit and bigoted fear mongering on the planet. Oh yeah, they won’t be scrutinised; they’re loyalist.
The Pig is going to run the white house with tyranny and turn the country into a combo of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Already hit the ground running.
All people and agencies, companies and individuals need to RESIST. There’s no fortune to enjoy at the end of the rainbow if you cooperate, no matter who you are.
This is what fucking happens when kids can pass through school without having to learn and remember history. No child left behind … so that no adult will have a brain.

I wish I didn’t ever need google but unfortunately sucksuckgo has been getting worse and worse.
- Comment on Google begins requiring JavaScript for Google Search 4 weeks ago:
Seriously, that’s such an absurd statement. It implies that the client-side affects the actual results.
I think their system just makes more money with sponsored gimmicks they might be enhancing.

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.

I thought it was just my imagination that it’s been getting worse and worse in both implementation and ecosystem.
- Comment on Meta says it’s mistakenly moderating too much 2 months 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.
