It seems a lot of the hopes are getting out of places like this. If it's dangerous to be youself the closet claims many.

File under "Duh"

This is like Epic suing Google, I feel quite conflicted about rooting for companies I hate, but they're going after an all consuming plague...

Pakistan executes rapists, we elect them.

Oh my god!

They killed Jeeves!

They want all of your data in the cloud so they own it.

They want all their crap on your device, so you pay for it.

There's nothing wrong with the technology, it's who is running it all that needs to be fixed, with the general f*ckery that is through everything now I miss my 2400 baud modem that was bigger than my computer and dialing in to a BBS.

Yoti is bloody incompotent on everything, but somehow keep getting contract.

Something sus going on, for sure, with the Epstein class "Protecting the children! (tm)"

Except it's more ZuckID, since Meta was behind the "grassroots" campaigns and wrote the script "representatives" are using globally.

The reason he's a "scammer" is his lack of connection. Put him in a corporation or in government and he'd just be on task to increase profits.

The rules have always been for us, not for them.

The police are enforcers for the elites, they don't stop crime, they extract fines from people and provide a deterrent to anyone standing up for themselves.

My line has been, and will always be:

The most antisemitic thing you can say is that Jew = Zionist.

It's not racial to be a sociopathic genocidal monster bent on control and domination.

They finally lost me completely when I loaded a music video marked "adult" for language and it demanded I upload ID on an account that was legally an adult.

I made that account in 1999, it's not even from this millennium, and they still derp out on it. I'm getting close to 50, at this point, and the only thing ads, age verification, and extreme right wing content on top of state sponsored disinformation campaigns will get you is a blacklist.

We should have seen it coming, I mean they used to have the "Don't be evil" motto, removing that was a declaration of intent.

Because they are after all the LGBT, nobody is safe, and the companies running these systems are building the profiles that will be used when they move on to the next step of christian nationalist agression.

There are so few sites that should leave a cookie I just set it to purge everything on browser close, and then make exceptions for the ones who actually should leave a cookie.

Pretty sure every browser now has the option to dump all the data when it closes.

They're putting the finishing touches on, been degrading for decades, ever since the focus of total control and surveillence shifted to them as a testbed.

The Switch.

Damn thing was fragile af, and they wanted to rent everything to us, no more Virtual Console no more solid hardware, they spend more money suing people for fixing it then they do on it like blocking local backup of saves so they can force a cloud sub and them still not having fixed the drifting JoyCons then charging you more than they are worth for repairs.

Okay, how does this explain the Boomers and up who seem to only be capable of using Facebook?

Like, if it's about adaptation, they had email and SMS long before Meta started their "clean" version of MySpace that has gotten so much worse than what it replaced.

I'm stuck with a yearly Christmas card from a lot of older relatives because they can't manage to step back an use services they did use before the big tech algorithmic fuckery took over.

As someone who grew up in these places "Extreme behavioral issues" generally means they're putting you on so many drugs you can't think straight and if you say no they lock you in a closet and beat you until you take the pill, or hold you down and give you a shot if they have an injectable version.

Physical and psychological abuse is constasnt and normalized, and sexual abuse is common and covered up, or the victims are blamed for it.

They get paid more if your "level" is high, so they make sure you are always a problem,and woe be unto the poor souls who find themselves there if they have a psychiatrist "on staff" because they will be getting those sweet kickbacks on forcing unnecessary and even harmful drugs on kids. And if they refuse to take them? Back in the closet!
