How does any empire crumble? It’s always from within.

Icarus is about to realise that the wax wings melt…

It’s such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they’re even doing in the building.

Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.

But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime… They’re all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they’re throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.

I mean, it does look like a sensible option. BRICS countries are growing in number and their combined wealth is nothing to sneeze at.

Turkey was never really allowed to be a part of EU and therefore will join the cool new club while the rest of Europe grows in far right rhetoric, and generally anti islamic sentiment.

From this link:

"I do not want the administrative workload that comes with donations. I do not want the project to become in need of funding in any way: no dedicated home page + no forum = no cost = no need for financial support. I want to be free to move on to something else if ever I get tired of working on these projects (no donations = no expectations).

Have a thought for the maintainers of the various lists. These lists are everything. I can not emphasize this enough."

While the developer doesn’t accept donations, they do encourage donating to the people maintaining the block lists. I’ve contributed in the past and would happily keep doing so.

It would be a shame if the devs maintaining the block lists stop doing what they’re doing because it’s not sustainable enough for them.

Humans have 10 thumbs though…

Wait. Your parents didn’t name you rhythmisaprancer?

Sure, but there are rules of engagement. International law does not condone indiscriminate bombings. They want to kill as many people as possible with each strike.

They want to kill children. There’s really no other conclusion when you look at the numbers.

You’re insane. You are a blight on humanity.

Taylor’s recent “Look at you” show was hilarious. The story behind that title is amazing too!

Sorry progressive and always know when I watch her stuff that I’m in for a good time.

Russia aggresses against Ukraine. Ukraine retaliates. Slava Ukraine.
Israel aggresses against Palestine. Palestine retaliates. Fuck Palestine.

Make that make sense.

This. Follow the money.

Stay at home, wear a mask. Good advice, now that COVID is back on the rise!

This. I rarely if ever saw a bug, even on release.

My gripes with the game had more to do with the features we were missing: a metro system, character customisation (hair stylist, tattoo artists, visible cyberware modification, cyberpsychosis, car customisation…), a gang reputation system, meaningful lifepath repercussions, like being able to join a gang as a streetkid, or own a cool car/apartment as corpo, or have your own custom tricked out car as a nomad…

The game feels much better than it did - driving was not great at release, and the perks you unlock now actually feel impactful and meaningful, but I still would have liked some of those features included.

I don’t think so, personally.

I can’t imagine Elon spending over 40bn to buy up a company that he then desperately needs to enact measures in order to recoup the lost money in ways that just dig him a bigger hole.

I think he’s really that dumb. He tried to devalue the company prior to purchasing by saying bots are rampant etc. The case against him said he needed to buy the company at the original price.

Until this point, his reputation had him as some kind of infallible tech messiah, so in order to not lose face, he bought it at the original price, knowing his plan backfired and he had to borrow billions in order to complete the sale.

Every decision he made after just attracted ridicule and caused the platform to fall further into a heaping mess. Once his reputation was revealed to be a petulant child, he just doubled down and destroyed it.

Elon, it turns out, just isn’t as clever as he (or many of his backers/fans) thought…

Definitely. Once upon a time, the prestige of the title of “Reigning Monarch of the British empire and all its territories” was incredible.

The weight of the crown back then was immense. Now it’s more like a party hat…

Why though? Why Canada?

India has its hands full already with China, and there’s no ally to be found across their border with Pakistan either.

So what gives? Why go pick on Canada, just because a guy there wanted to entertain the thought of a sikh state free from India?

I mean it’s a fact I’ve known previously but to see the Chinese empire never end is actually crazy and impressive.

Reading these comments after watching Guardians of the Galaxy 3 just hits different. Unless Elon himself is removed from his position, crimes like these simply won’t stop.

If this wasn’t linked within the first hour of this post, I would have been amazed. Such an awesome show!
