If you join a social network that *Mark owns, you get what you deserve, and he gets all your correspondence to mine and sell forever and ever and ever, tying it into all the other data the web has “anonymously” collected about you, even using different usernames, vpn’s, and email addresses. ta dah!

yep always

Keep getting false positives on AVG from lemmy.world communities pages for derp.foo

When people name their web assets the same as known viruses, hacks, and malware, because they think it’s just the funniest thingever, this shit is going to continue to happen.

Your antivirus is working perfectly, and doing exactly what is should be doing.

This is fantastic, the downside of course, if the general population being taught by their governments that COVID isn’t to be feared, but lived with, and most importantly “worked through”. The capitalist system doesn’t function without it’s workers, and the corporations don’t want anything disrupting their bottom line, including covid mitigations, which is why you see Right Wing nutjobs telling everyone that COVID is over, and there was nothing to fear in the first place, while in the span of 12 months over One Million Americans died. Corporations, aided by the Right Wing bigots, don’t want COVID air detectors anywhere, as they would invariably detect COVID. Reminds me of that movie where the king said to save arrows, and send in the infantry, because arrows cost money, and people cost nothing.

Twitter didn’t lose anything, Musk bought Twitter because he thought it’d be a goof to trash, and because he wanted access to Saudi Arabian markets to sell his electric cars and rocket ships.

These stories are so fucking annoying because they purposely miss the point of what’s actually happened.

Elon Musk personal worth went up 97 Billion dollars since he bought Twitter, he’s now worth, on paper 248 Billion. He can take a complete loss on the investment, and not be any the poorer in real terms.

******* This happened to me, one of my posts had it’s photo deleted (I didn’t delete it), then when I replaced it, the next time I checked the entire post had been deleted.

bullshit

twas always thus, software development is gaseous in that it expands to take up all the area it is placed inside, this is both by the nature of software engineering taking the quickest route to solving any action, as well as by design of collusion between operating system manufacturers (read Microsoft and Apple) and the hardware platform manufacturers they support and promote. this has been happening since the dawn of personal computer systems, when leapfrogging processor, ram, hard drive, bus, and network eventually leads to hitherto improbably extravagant specs bogged down to uselessness. it’s the bane and very nature of the computing ecosphere itself.

Is up/down voting not working for anyone else, or is it just me?
