"Reasonable is the call for the status quo. "
Ballparked, spot fucking on, right there.

Same goes for shallow ass civility & politeness when dealing with individuals who try to repress/oppress others. You know by now, I'm not kind into that type of status quo enforcing, dipshittery either.

KPMG issued a report citing all the transformational ways GenAI has transformed industry, it’s been widely cited.

One minor problem: it turns they used AI to write the report, and it made up all of the evidence.

KPMG have now withdrawn the report in full.

Yoti, the "age verification" company, has supposedly been reporting GrapheneOS users to law enforcement as suspicious. https://cybernews.com/privacy/grapheneos-users-flagged-yoti-age-verification/

GrapheneOS claims this isn't true. https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/36134-grapheneos-user-reported-to-authorities-for-using-grapheneos/14

Key takeaway from this: Don't age verify. Ever. For any reason. The kind of information you should never share on the Internet isn't magically OK to share on the Internet just because a law says companies have to ask for it.

Did I really never notice the bar at the beginning of Cowboy Bebop is totally the one from El Mariachi/Desperado?

New: the FCC is trying to ban burner phones by forcing all telecoms to store ID information on all new and renewing customers. That includes a government issued ID number. Massive privacy-impacting change

“We never thought that would happen here,” the ACLU says https://www.404media.co/fcc-wants-to-kill-burner-phones-by-forcing-telecoms-to-get-all-customers-ids/

This is a journalist from 60 minutes describing the lengths they went to in order to present Twin Cities protesters as violent. Nonetheless, CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss said the coverage didn't make the protesters look violent enough.

Note the double standard: "violence" for ICE is murdering people, "violence" for protesters is raising their voices.

The truth is that in any corporate media coverage of law enforcement, anything short of servile compliance will be framed as "violence." That's why we have to demystify the language of "violence" itself, rather than insisting on "non-violence." The latter will only result in more and more activities being designated "violent."

Look at these chonkers!

@AnarchoNinaWrites "How did they make flint tools and develop language without the profit motive?"

It's 1998, you make a website in the copy of frontpage express that came with your computer, it's just like Word and it's very easy, you figure out how to upload it to the couple megs of web space that your ISP gives you (the instructions are on their website), you visit your site in your browser and everything's fine and the site's readable and everything looks the way it should

🦝 "Wow, if it's this easy in 1998, I bet it'll be even easier in 2026" you think to yourself for some reason

you can have your marriage, your slacks, and your white picket fence, but the polycule of genderfucked scumbags also deserves a life free of all unnecessary stress and suffering

so it’s worth considering which group is willing to take actions that actually protect the other, and at what cost

Sure seems like a whole lotta people want me to believe you can "accidentally" use Nazi symbols.

I just want you to know - I do not believe you. Any of you. I know what you are and what you're doing. And I am not alone.
