Inexorably? …Really? It can’t be turned off?

Religious extremists, you say?

Yes, we should all avoid discussion with humans at all costs, and of course already know everything anyway.

Imagine not knowing something and asking a human for more information? Ew

Sounds like it’s time to bring the U.S some Freedom! 😎🪖🕊️

If only my TV had a Jellyfin app, I could switch, but alas it doesn’t. Got to use Plex if I want to watch stuff from any home streaming thingy. That said, it’s free to do that, at least.

I just don’t have the money or time to buy an external box and fiddle with it to get it running these days either, otherwise I’d build a modern version of the XBMC server I used to have in days gone by :-(

Indeed.

Wild how the terms of the cease-fire allow both sides to continue to attack each other, amirite?

Isn’t Politico owned by that rich mental dick head btw? Should we be using it as a news source?

But the big headlines today are the Americans bombing Iranian ships, today?

Funny looking cease-fire.

That said, even a real cease-fire doesn’t mean the two nations aren’t at war. It’s a cease-fire, not a peace deal. There still exists a state of war between them which can (and has, in this case) returned to active conflict.

The USA is at war with Iran, whether they like it or not.

My first question would be who are these middle east eye lot, not a news outfit I’d heard of. Wikipedia has this to say, for what it’s worth:

Middle East Eye (MEE) is a United Kingdom-based media website and channel that primarily focuses on news related to the Middle East, North Africa, and the broader Muslim world. Though the organisation denies it and will not disclose its funding sources, it is widely believed that the organisation is funded by the government of Qatar.

When you think about it, that’s kinda exactly what it is. Which is very cool :-D

Just a big random boulder in space amongst a whole solar system of random boulders, taken with a light for illumination because it’s dark, yo

Sad that, of all the things that have changed in the world, nothing about this has changed one bit since then.

I don’t believe in a brighter future any more.

You stay far, FAR away from that shit, is what you do.

Scanning people’s entire history for political leanings, etc? That’s some deeply dystopian stuff right there.

It’s easy to forget that these sorts of communities are dictatorships with only as much transparency as the owner wants to share. Usually they’re benevolent dictators, so we don’t think about it too much. But they can change in a heartbeat - and we don’t ever really know what they’re really thinking, or doing behind the scenes.

When the mask slips and they reveal this sort of thing, thinking we’ll just accept it and keep living under their rule, it’s time to read the red flags and GET OUT.

Hopefully someone compiles a list of places that do this stuff, so we can avoid them like the plague <3

What?

Your comment’s got some unreadable corrupted text there.

especially if it’s using sim/esim card. Those mobile carriers can literally do whatever the fuck they want to your phone and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Wow that’s wild, how does my SIM card allow my carrier to do whatever they want to my phone?

On the face of it, that sounds like a gigantic breach of privacy. Can they look at my photos, capture my screen, read my stored app data, intercept outbound Internet traffic before it’s encrypted, etc? That’s wild.

Not to mention that I bought my phone separately, so it’s got nothing to do with them. As one might imagine, I only added a SIM in order to receive traditional telephone calls, it’s not otherwise useful to me.

What did Neo do to deserve such slander?!

Don’t worry too much, you’re all just the fun little people that live in my phone, even Donald Trump is in there!

Maybe if I shake my phone a bit you’ll fall into the same memory address as him? Worth a shot

haha, I was just thinking about how this is very noticeable here in Manchester, then saw the URL!

To be fair to them, my parents grew up on a farm without electricity or running water. Unsurprising that they have less student debt than I do :3
