Opinions my own… Boy, do I have some. Some are actually valid.
Oh, and feel free to ignore me and move along. It’ll trouble me none.
Just taking every single chance that presents itself to harm the populace and give up the rights of the populace simply so the Modern Day Robber Barons can further and ever more obscenely enrich themselves.
I fucking hate steal-ionnaires in all their shapes and forms.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
sorry dave I can’t do that.
Oh, it’ll be worse than just that…
You’ll get along the lines of: “All these fellas are phenomenal over the top geniuses and you just can’t fathom the wonderfulness of them cause you’re just a plebian nobody that hasn’t the intelligence to grasp what these wonderful awesome saviours of mankind have in their plan for you and all your descendants cause these fellas are the only ones that can save everything and do what’s right cause they have all the money and are therefore proven to be the ones that are awesome intelligent and know better”…
🤷♂️ 🤦♀️ 🤡 🖕
Watch out Dems…
If you don’t behave she’ll take you out to the quarry… And only one of you will come back.
🙄 🤡 🤦♀️
I’m all for services making a reasonable profit and being able to fund new shows and such endeavors…
But we’re rapidly getting into an environment of “soaking viewers for all we can get out of them” simply to feed the fucking shareholders ever larger payouts.
Thank you Milton Friedman. 🖕

➕ 1️⃣ For Home Assistant. My daily driver.
Came here to say the same.
I’ve been quite clear.
You’re being willfully obtuse.
Bye.
What you say is true to that extent… That’s nothing to do with my point…
Anyone not making a claim is unnecessarily leaving money on the table that will eventually (possibly) be rewarded back to the offender.
I’m saying just take them for everything you can, regardless of “hoops”, even if it doesn’t seen like that much. In the aggregate, we’re causing more financial pain rather than less.
What’d you miss in what I said?? (he asks rhetorically…)
🤷♂️
Such an attitude is exactly what they’re counting on. Fewer claims, less payout.
🤷♂️ 🤦♀️
You may not be taking them for much… But take everything you can.
A rudimentary quick Internet search will provide a good bit of the “AI benefits at work” documentation for which you seek. 🤷♂️
Or is the point to put the squeeze on folks without options or resources to move up economically without providing any solution.
Given Newsom’s swing toward the hard right, I’m going with this choice…
And, fuck Newsom. 🤦♀️ 🤷♂️ 🖕
FFS…
They could bend the border around Vancouver Island but not around Point Roberts…???
Who fucking decided that bullshit??
These folks are so essentially Canadian anyway that this move will be physical only. 🤷♂️
At his current 69yrs age, he could get all the busy he wants for his remaining life and still fail to reach the 99% goal. 🙄 🤦♀️ 🤡
As a US’ian, I find this so cringe.
These people will simply enhance the Oligarch Nazi Apartheid MAGAt culture. Which, of course, is the point.
Good fucking riddance.
Your gain is our loss. 🙄 🤦♀️
costs to maintain software and add features…
…and shareholders to please…
Arguably the bigger cost sink.
fat lot of good
Pun intended…??
😂
As a company that was forced to realize their profit model was <advertising and data> and <advertising and data> alone…
It was simply inevitable that “Don’t be Evil” become “Evil R Us”.
🙄 🤡 🖕
Well…
Wonder which of these MAGAts stand to profit from that fucking decision/situation…
Everything in the MAGAt world is about fattening their personal pocketbook.
New World Robber Barons all.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
No, no, Fuck You, no!!
I will have no phone that employs “Counterfeit Conciousness” to listen to every fucking word of every fucking conversation leading to (among others):
Fuck right off with this.
This solidifies for me I will never own a Pixel phone.
And, if this becomes ubiquitous in Android, I’ll have to rethink that, too.
Doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily go to iOS; more likely completely rethink having a phone at all.
Fuck Google entirely. Don’t be Evil my ass.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
