“I’m in a government that condones - if not encourages - businesses from rejecting customers based on their own ideology, but don’t do it to me!”

Please tip your federatress

Doge smells a lot like something that could become a Sicherheitsdienst in case Trump goes totalitarian.

“you don’t like to work for trump? Looks like your position is no longer a requirement”.

I know it’s a bit of a stretch, but Elon Hitler is mad enough to act like it.

Canonical link pointing to x.com? That’s peculiar.

That means doge.gov site will be treated as equal to a duplicate of x.com/doge. That doesn’t seem like a very governmental approach…

The CEO made a remark about Trump, and used his corporate account for it.

If I recall correctly (no press statement was made by Proton), it was a personal remark on a corporate account, which he was quick to allow anyone to do. It also didn’t support Trump as a whole, just a remark Orangeman made about getting small business a level playing field (which I totally trust from an olicharch).

I’m still sticking with Proton for the foreseeable future, as its privacy awareness and advocacy is still a core business value.

Tee hee! Bum!

Think of the Small Business is the corporate equivalent of the Think of the Kids fallacy

If you have a teenage daughter: do you have gendered bathrooms in your home? If no: why not? A significant number of rapes happen at home, surely a gendered bathroom will help.

Yeah, I won’t buy another one again, but now that I have one, I don’t want to e-waste it just because the cable is too short.

Electric fire danger is really changing my opinion on this though.

Boo, you whore!

It’s partly “in case we’re deciding to be idiots and go to active war zones” stuff, but I see those rich fucks using military level weapons against civilian drones because they can afford to act above the law.

A hotel I stayed at recently had a vending machine filled with beer and wine. It just worked with the honour system, no ID check or whatever.

It was fairly nicely priced too, especially for a hotel.

I installed new blinds on our two roof windows and closed them this evening. I’m not sure a cave gets much darker than that.

Nobody got injured (so far).

Imagine being an author whose sole income is writing books.

Here comes an AI that stole indexed your work and is asked by a customer of OpenAI to summarise your books. It does so perfectly and the issuer is able to use your results freely, since they think it’s AI generated and doesn’t require attribution.

You receive nothing in return.

Good luck making a living.

Edit: stole to indexed, added edit note

How dare you speak for other nations like that.
Sounds like they’re lacking some essential American Freedom™!
Come to think of it, sounds like you’re acting very Red™ yourself.

Hey, they gave some people an Uber Eats coupon

That’s just a metal concert though

You’d be shit out of luck

The former, unfortunately.
