  • Yeah, but if you aren't being sold subscription services, then there's no stream of recurring revenue, and if that happens quarterly earnings won't show a graph going up. Which means shareholders can't go afford their backup vacation house and CEOs yachts will be a few inches shorter. Honestly, think of the yachts next time.

  • Sounds like it wasn't that good of an air defense system 🤷

  • "those who aren't rich, old, and white can get fucked"

    -republicans, definitely

  • The case is stronger with a conviction, for sure, but the amendment doesn't say 'convicted of' in it. So it wouldn't seem it is strictly necessary.

  • Yes, so they could discriminate her based on her looks sooner?

  • The toxicity is self perpetuating. Anyone with a semblance of decency wouldn't become a cop, so you just have more and more of these racist fascist assholes breeding more hatred and thugary. Any 'good cop' quickly realizes it's a cesspool and leaves, or succumbs to the bastardization.

  • Cruz' Razor: "Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice."

  • Don't exercises your Liberties in a way that makes me feel insecure about myself

  • Lol as if people have a choice and there isn't a monopoly on ISP coverage

  • I don't even know what you're talking about so apparently it didn't do that good of a job

  • https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08/21/texas-prison-heat-deaths/

    At least 41 people have died in stifling, uncooled prisons of either heart-related or unknown causes during Texas’ relentless and record-breaking heat wave this summer

    At least another 29 have died of what are still unknown causes pending autopsy results. The death count is likely higher, as prisons have 30 days to report a prisoner’s death to the state.

    TDCJ has reported 35 employee heat-related illnesses this year, but only 14 among prisoners

    And that's just heat related over the past few months.

  • Which very well could, and I'm my opinion should, be the case.

    But instead a few dozen billionaires own half of the worlds wealth.

    Eat the fucking rich.

  • Depending on the nature of the work and security protocols it isn't the WTF. When you're working, on your work device, on the work network, there is zero assumption of privacy (and there really shouldn't be). The company wants to maintain it's security and so it is ensuring it is aware of things happening on its network.

    It's not necessary for everyone everywhere but it has valid use case that isn't some mega shady weird thing.

  • "the cloud isn't tech it's a rental company" is a pretty dumb take tbh.

    Like, if you're trying to argue that AWS (or gcp, azure) services don't provide technical solutions that aren't available otherwise you just don't know what you're talking about. Is it expensive, yeah it definitely can be. But cloud is much more than server rentals at this point. Want a host that gives you bare metal? Great there are 'rentals' to choose from. I can see arguing SaaS hasn't really 'tech', but PasS and IaaS provide technology and solutions to problems. I hate Daddy Jeff as much as the next guy but AWS is very much 'tech'.

  • I agree with the sentiment that his actions should preclude him from running, but felon disenfranchisement is something that isn't talked about nearly enough and I think it's absolutely insane so many people lose their RIGHT to vote.

  • You say everyone hates then but honestly it's really not true. Plenty of people are annoyed by ads, others tolerate them, sometimes people even enjoy them (see Superbowl shit or people sharing meme ads and commercials) and honestly that's part of the problem. Ads have been a part of so many people lives for so long they can't even imagine a world where they aren't constantly bombarded by ads and having them privacy exploited for corporate gains.

    Personally I'm vehemently opposed to ads and go out of my way to block them in every way I can, but fundamentally many people don't see them as an issue or are too attached to the corporate teat to try voting with their wallet to suppress the problem.
