And some people can’t pull their head out of their own ass long enough to see that their problems aren’t the same as everyone else’s problems.

You’re just projecting here.

I merely pointed out that everything is politics and yet you respond with yet more bleating.

and their pet issues

And you respond further by shoving your head further up your own arse.

Your response being a great case study in how you can do exactly that while also implying that no one else even has problems to begin with.

Are you trying to make yourself out as the victim here?

What a fucking crybaby!

When can we stop inserting politics into every little thing?

When I see comments like this, it makes 2 things plainly obvious:

1. The commentor is naive and doesn’t understand that fundamentally ‘politics’ is the power dynamic in every relationship, be that between people, groups or with structures or things such as food.

It is in everything and connects everything. It defines your relationship and how you interact with the world and it’s relationship to, and interaction with you.

2. The commentor has enough privilege that they don’t have to worry about politics/power structures on a daily basis.

Some people can’t see the wood for the trees

Check his videos about poisoning AI scraping with respects to music (he’s a musician professionally)

I ask why they lock the door on the toilet.

They usually splutter about social norms etc and I point out that it’s a social norm they mind their own fucking business about my affairs

Are they “drop outs” or were they ‘asked’ to leave the establishment?

CEOs still haven’t learnt to keep their mouths shut because they keep getting shot!

Definitely, it’s them playing stupid so centrist liberals will mock them because they can’t help themselves and they use that to say to the genpop “look, I’m just like you and these sneering elites are laughing at me, and by extension you”

I think the attraction is more that the current system isn’t working for a lot of people and hasn’t been for a long time.

Exactly. They play the outsider who has the balls but not embroiled in the quagmire, to come and “drain the swamp”

The perverse hilarity of trump saying this is that he is the 1%, he is the trust fund kid that had everything handed to him on a platter. He literally is the swamp (a corrupt child rapist)

Farage in the UK went to one of the top schools (Dulwich college) where he was disciplined for singing Hitler youth songs. He got a job in the city through his dad as a commodities broker before going into (disrupting) politics and people seem to believe his shit when he acts like he’s one of the common folk!

People need their heads banging together falling for that shit!

Not quite.

Farage keeps running around saying “Pick me! Pick me!” and the press keep asking “Is farage a viable candidate?” while not offering the same credence to anyone else.

The British public are “We’re fucking sick of this bollocks from the establishment” and a lot of them are falling for the privately educated ex city trader Farages nonsense that he’s a “man of the people” because all the centrist parties are saying “aren’t immigrants awful?” in an attempt to distract from their own incompetence and quite frankly, the left is 10 years behind in offering a coherent alternative to all the bullshit.

Considering that the bbc is not a very trustworthy media outlet, I view them reporting this with the same incredulity of all the maga cried going on about Hunter Bidens laptop.

Not to say I don’t think PRNK isn’t an authoritarian regime but all the things they claim about that phone are the kind of malware that Western agencies use all the time.

In the UK, if I opened a page that had CSAM on it but closed it as soon as I realised without opening the images, the fact that my browser has cached that page (with thumbnails) means I’m in possession & could be prosecuted.

we’re gonna end up with /r/sinkpissers. Lol

In all seriousness, you really don’t want a mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy instances. It’s better that it’s slowly so growth is managed but even more important, user quality is maintained!

When the Digg exodus happened, Reddit literally overnight went from a considered discussion board to full of ascii art, 1 line shit witty or pun comments, lyric threads and the signal to noise ratio went to shit.

On top of that there were constant stability issues that were compounded by all the thickos constantly hammering F5.

Maybe they should try looking a bit closer to home with that they were rescued from bankruptcy by Russian oligarch donations and one of their favoured sons awarded a position in the House of Lords to the billionaire son of a former KGB director!

ByteDance is a privately-held global company, roughly 60 percent owned by global institutional investors (such as Blackrock, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group), 20 percent owned by the company’s founders, and 20 percent owned by its employees—including over 7,000 U.S.-based employees.

Do you want a top 3 or a full list?

If the latter, we could be here for days…

The cliff thought as much. Why else would it yeet him like that?!

(Doesn’t sound like he was because he also held patents for an insulin pump & a wheelchair that could climb stairs so his mind was definitely working towards solving real world problems & not just reinventing public transport)

Exactly. If critical mass is achieved inorganically, it would result with a reverse in uptake & possibly even a revolt against it.

You can lead a horse to water… (but a pencil must be lead)

No, it’s all good. We’re on the same page about disaster recovery!

as long as there is at least one other backup that isn’t with this provider.

Which is exactly what I was saying.

Any services used with a cloud provider should be treated as 1 entity, no matter how many geo-locations they claim your data is backed up to because they are a single point from which all those can be deleted.

When I was last involved in a companies backups, we had a fire safe in the basement, we had an off-site location with another fire safe & third copies would go off to another company that provided a backup storage solution so for all backups to be deleted, someone had to go right out of their way to do so. Not just a simple deletion of our account & all backups are wiped.

That company had the foresight to do something similar & it’s saved them. [edited - was on the tube when I wrote this and didnt see the autocorrect had put ‘comment’, not ‘company’]
