Wow major corporations serving pedophilia and genocide? I’m shocked! \s
- Comment on Wikipedia hit by self-propagating JavaScript worm that vandalized pages 1 month ago:
If they don’t tell us the message, how can we tell if it was actually “vandalism”? Why are they hiding the actual message? It’s probably counter to the hegemonic narrative. Instantly removed, covered up, and censored for all time.

A Jewish by blood
No thanks on the scientific racism. Imagine if any other religion said this. Racist wackos.
- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 2 months ago:
They do it for free for a variety of reasons. All capitalist news is based on serving capital.
- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 2 months ago:
They’re a “tech reporter” in the sense that they write puff pieces about Spotify, etc.
- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 2 months ago:
It doesn’t sound like they left though. It sounds like they left a totally dysfunctional, useless airport, then decided to complain about the new airport which has a few glitches (for him).
- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 2 months ago:
For all the crying… It doesn’t sound like dude puts Windows back on any of these machines… Why is that? Hmmmm lol.

Oh yeah 100%. They’re pushing this attack on kids so that they’re free to push gambling addiction on everybody else.

I work in youth crisis support, and I can say that social media addiction is on par with methamphetamine.
No, it’s not. This is absurd.

The state’s only means of “helping” kids is attacking kids.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 2 months ago:
Clickbait. It talks about fear of imaginary quantum computing in the headline, while talking about how crypto is resistant to quantum in the actual article.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 2 months ago:
It was only 13,000x faster, and in one specific task
Useless, contrived task.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 2 months ago:
Are people really too smug to even look at the price charts?
Bitcoin was at $40k two years ago and like $95k today.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 2 months ago:
Let’s take our money out of BTC and invest it in
fusion power plants and jetpacks and hover boards insteadwar, prisons, genocide, etc.Just being realistic.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 2 months ago:
It’s not even close lol why the panic
The quantum grift is very similar to the “AI” grift.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 2 months ago:
Businesses/orgs that have smart leaders are already implementing (or have already completed implementing) post-quantum encryption algs/methods into their systems to protect them for when quantum computers and quantum programming mature,
Is it actually smart though? Or are these people simply panicking about technology that may never exist?
And there’s really no technical reason why crypto can’t switch to quantum safe encryption. The better cryptos are already transitioning.
- Comment on Wikipedia inks AI deals with Microsoft, Meta and Perplexity as it marks 25th birthday 2 months ago:
It’s just WMF selling the work of free volunteers to the worst grifters on the planet for a quick buck.
- Comment on Wikipedia inks AI deals with Microsoft, Meta and Perplexity as it marks 25th birthday 2 months ago:
Why they would do it when this hurts their own business is beyond me.
$$$. Duh. The wikipedia dude has always been a “libertarian” (aka capitalist shill).
- Comment on Wikipedia inks AI deals with Microsoft, Meta and Perplexity as it marks 25th birthday 2 months ago:
People doing free labor for this “libertarian” somehow surprised when dude sells their work to the worst grifters imaginable.

- Comment on AI Agents Break Rules Under Everyday Pressure— Shortened deadlines and other stressors caused misbehavior 4 months ago:
The anthropomorphic grift is strong here.
AI Agents
There are no “agents” just computers.
Break Rules
Computers don’t “break rules”.
Under Everyday Pressure
Computers don’t experience pressure.
caused misbehavior
Computers don’t “misbehave”. They function unexpectedly especially under abnormal conditions.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 4 months ago:
It’s absolutely harmful to waste resources on worthless grifting at the expense of the planet and people suffering from very real deprivation.
That’s why it’s the same people promoting both the grift and the deprivation.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 4 months ago:
They don’t need their bullshit grift to look good. They’re going to build it anyway.

TBH the billionaires might survive along with other cockroaches. They’ll at least outlast the plebs above ground…
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 4 months ago:
This is a thing only a person that thinks space is magic would think is a good idea.
Pretty sure this is a primary basis of scientific “education”, worship of the moon/mars, etc.
It’s always been about extracting resources from rubes while actual humans suffer.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 4 months ago:
Yeah, but that’s the point. It’s a boondoggle. Grifters need a bottomless hole for marks to pour money down.
