They should pay taxes on their billionaire’s worth. He should be taxed out of existence. If he can’t or won’t pay, he should be incarcerated. If he doesn’t want to be incarcerated, he should leave the country.

Not hard to see why it got co-opted by Big Homosexual though eh?

Launch vi and be <esc>:w.

Ah, a fellow person of culture, I see. It will forever be vi to me. And pico for that matter.

I think I heard of Grimes because she was married to Elon Musk and they named their kid %^&*%&* or sth idk

That’s not how being Pope works. I know this, and I’m not even Catholic.

The resemblance is uncanny.

As Reg readers know, nothing in tech lasts forever

lol. I’m using a 2016 Samsung Galaxy Tab as my e-reader. I fully expect the pirated epub files I use on it to be readable until I am dead. It is never connected to the Internet, never updated, never anything except a USB connection to move over more books.

For context if it matters: I have purchased every book on it in physical form. I download epubs of these books so I can carry my library with me anywhere I go and I feel no guilt about this whatsoever - largely because of BULLSHIT like this article.

This strip features the character that presumably will become Uncle Fester, who Addams says resembled himself, plus a little more hair.

He was a pretty funny guy.

Yes but can she serve you mead?

And yet, we have to seriously look to be able to be sure. What a world.

The founding fathers set this shit up and they knew it was going to go sideways from the moment they signed the paperwork. If anything, it likely lasted longer than they imagined it would.

Except that they most certainly are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States - hell, they pay federal taxes. They aren’t subject to the jurisdiction of any particular state is all.

I know you’re joking, but it made me think.

On platforms like Twitter I never felt seen. I felt like I was talking to myself for the 30 seconds I actually engaged with it (I never could stand the format or the interface really).

On Lemmy I do feel seen, because it’s so much smaller. I know people read what I write and I get way more feedback here than I’ve ever gotten since (maybe) 2010-era Reddit.

But important? Anyone who can use the Internet to make themselves feel important must have been a sociopath to begin with because as near as I can tell the Internet is a misery machine designed to make you feel like a dumbshit.

Come to think of it, that’s probably why I hate the entire concept of “influencers” and the human toilets who call themselves that.

And yet not a single word in that entire article about bots being used to post on Internet forums to engineer public opinion, which is certainly what came to my mind when I read the headline.

The closest it comes is the section where it admits that because they’re all spoofing known Big Tech scrapers, they can’t actually say how much of any particular activity is actually going on beyond some broad generalizations.

I can confirm though - my web server was positively getting hammered until I locked it down with fail2ban.
