We should have picked back up the Russia investigation and rolled it in with Jan 6th and brought charges two weeks into the Biden administration.

Bumblebee (Dancing in BeeSpeak): Is this a corpse? A rotting pile of shit? Absolutely devine!

Me: I’m a Disney Princess. Teehee!

3-5 companies in a sector is an oligopoly, which acts nearly the same as a monopoly. This is not “actual competition”.

All of these companies cornered their own markets, and now they own the backbone of the internet.

If we broke up all of them and required open standards and interoperability then other companies could innovate.

The meme is not really a falsifiable statement and it doesn’t need to be.

Government shutdowns were largely developed by Newt Gingrich. It’s a choice to hold the government hostage. Obviously Congress won’t mitigate the damage, they could easily choose to not to do it in the first place.

AWS needs to be broken up way more than Ma Bell ever did. We need to have open protocols developed so that there can be actual competition.

Taco seasoning goes great in beans too.

The question isn’t “why does Signal use AWS?” It’s to look at the infrastructural requirements of any global, real-time, mass comms platform and ask how it is that we got to a place where there’s no realistic alternative to AWS and the other hyperscalers. 3/

She was misquoted (although the meaning should have been clear). This isn’t just “cloud” and bears no resemblance to a web server you spun up at home. This sort of world spanning tech stack is not something any company can build themselves, and there are only 3 or 4 companies that could host Signal.

The world’s Internet infrastructure basically supports civilization as we know it, and it’s crazy to allow it to be privately owned with so little competition.

In the old days, there would be public standards and interoperability and networks of organizations working together. Now the Internet is a series of proprietary walled gardens.

All I know is that a lot of families will protect their rapist son and kick their gay kid out of the house.

And practically everything seems to be cheap crap designed to last just past the return window.

It used to be you could find some good deals but now everything’s a scam.

Funnily enough, the eyepatch and flag are unrelated.

Writing a news story about some guy tweeting about the President’s health rather than simply writing about the President’s health is absolutely bonkers.

IDGAF about Newsom’s opinion. Do some journalism.

Because the Dem establishment is firmly in Bezos’s pocket with the Washington Post and a candidate who doesn’t think that Jeff Bezos should have all the money is scary.

Because she’s a Neo Nazi.

Every racist claims they don’t support racism. And most Klan members’ wives sewed their sheets into hoods.

Hey, it’s me, ur Illuminati.

I am saddened that the Illuminati sent out fake notices to all of you to mask their attempts to recruit me.

I think it’s more difficult to identify me from an anonymous account where I don’t even talk about myself that much than from an account under their legal name with a bunch of pictures of themselves.

Stupid question. All dogs are the best boy. I suppose it could work if they accepted any choice.

”Woke" is AAVE.

“Dark Woke” is what happens when White people appropriate AAVE.
