The rhetoric that politicians are idiots and they don’t know what they’re doing is also damaging, because it makes people assume stupidity rather than malice.
But it is malice. The incompetence is real, make no mistake, but malice is in fact the end goal.
Always remember: datacenters are uniquely flammable, and most of them have backup generators with loads of fuel nearby…
Behold, the definition of butthurt.
People are fleeing into Linux & MacOS in droves. If this trend holds, Ms will lose majority in ~8 years.
Fuck, there go my plans to use South America as a last possible fallback if shit keeps getting worse.
Yeah this is why I don’t do charity, at least not via any organisation. I’ll give straight to someone who needs it without involving any 3rd parties at all.
Wasn’t there recently some ruckus about a “new” android service google installed to android phones that was supposed to do this? It was all over the news but now I can hardly find a mention.

So much FUD and complete misinformation here. Gold, first and foremost, is a store of value and a hedge against inflation. It’s a terrible investment. That said, if you bought 10k worth of gold 5 years ago, you would now have 20k. Which is obviously a higher return than most savings products or some actual investments.
It’s a hell of a lot safer than BTC and if society does collapse, it will absolutely retain its value.

The 2A folks are overwhelmingly on the side of the oppressors…
I’ve “hacked” web apps by logging in with “user - password” or something equally inane.
