Boggles the mind how one can be a convicted felon and still be in the race, but if you’re in prison you can’t vote.

He doesn’t control much of anything, actually!
The king of Sweden has a similar exemption from the law, but he also doesn’t hold any political power. I also don’t know how waterproof his status is if he did something heinous enough.
Trump already has done heinous stuff.
Which will work great until corporations implement systems that force it onto us. Microsoft building it into the operating system. Mozilla acquiring advertising companies and implementing AI bullshit. Google edging closer to having a monopoly on browsers.
I’ve learned nothing since I got my first phone and that bad boi didn’t even have a clock.
Yes, you’re reading it right, even if you pay, it doesn’t get rid of ads, they just stop tracking you.
🤢🤮
I hate what the internet has become.
At this rate society isn’t worth preserving.
I’m so excited for us to have two simultaneous pandemics.
I believe you’re allowed to run ads on free tiers and offer to remove them by paying. You’re not however allowed to track people without their consent, thus you can’t force personalised ads on users, and say that the only way to get rid of the privacy invasion is to pony up.
What does Iran have to do with things?
Dangerous. Don’t insert things without a flared base or some other appendage for easy removal. That thing looks less like a sex toy and more like a paperweight.
I feel this. It is satisfying, but it’s not really productive.
Well they do charge particularly hard for SSDs as well. They’ve found a way to eat the cake twice.
Companies primarily make decisions to maximise the profitability of someone and it’s never the consumer.
Likely born from frustration. It sucks knowing that the future you’re working towards is likely one you’ll never get to experience.
A small step in the right direction is still a step.
Let’s remember that the rich will have ways of making this happen even without it being legal. You don’t think that the criminalisation of abortion in various U.S. states actually affects the rich, right?
Oh, fuck off with that. We’re in the middle of a climate catastrophe the scale of which we don’t even fully comprehend yet. I can understand a wish for more transparency in how the systems work, but if you’re not willing to pull your weight and put your money where your mouth is, you don’t get to complain. How is it in any way strange that China would be looking to boost the Chinese market? Every other market does exactly this.
Musk reposted a chart that claims Europe is suffering from a “fertility crisis,” saying “civilization may end with a bang or with a whimper (in adult diapers).”
Right. Europe. Civilisation. Coming from a bigoted, lying, racist, billionaire that’s hardly surprising.
Further, so what?
This is a fair point I hadn’t considered!
