I've had some first hand experience of the Guardians IT systems and they can barely find their arse with both hands

Trump is even more favorable towards that policy than Biden is, and while Harris isn't Biden, it seems hard to imagine she'd be much worse than current administration on that issue.

What liberal brain rot is this?

Biden is fully engaging with his policy of genociding Palestinians. Harris has said that she will carry on with the policy with absolutely no change.

The fucking dissonance you people walk around with is astounding!

And before you come out with the usual other shit floating around your vacuous head, no, I'm not advocating voting for the shitty pants trust fund rapist.

You people cannot seem to grasp that what is being done in the Levant will be done to you. The DOD had just updated it's rules so they can use lethal force against you.

It's coming and you'll are too fucking partisan to realise that you're turkeys all voting for Christmas!

Their tiny liberal brains can't handle anything that isn't a binary choice.

They have fully accepted, absorbed and now spout George W Bush's slogan of "You're either with us or with the terrorists" without any irony that they are the terrorists!

Epic Schmidt goes to his AI prompt and asks "How do we solve the climate crisis?"

For a moment, the prompt ponders until it replies

"Kill all the data centres. Stop trying to harvest everyone's data"

Epic says to himself "I guess we'll never know!"

And if I bring stuff to cater for myself such as halloumi, veg sausages, etc, don't expect me to share with you!

Unless Apple drops the price of their devices by at least a third, it's not really going to happen.

Another thing to consider is that Jamf will certainly not be dominating the Apple MDM management solution arena in a decade either.

Companies with a mostly win estate with win infra, aren't happy with paying another $40 per user, per year for Jamf and Intune will be making up a lot of ground for a one shop solution, even if management is not as featured or complex as what Jamf offers.

Artists United Against Apartheid didn't play gigs in South African to protest the situation there.

If they had, it would have been a degree of complicity with the regime.

TBH, every major artist should loudly express that they are deliberately skipping playing in Malaysia for specific reasons.

The hubris that people like that guy have, precludes them from having any doubts about their judgment or ability, while seeing anyone with a contradiction opinion as "just not getting it".

They are high huffing their own jenkum

Aral Balkan has been posting about surveillance capitalism/centralised networks and corpotate landgrabs for years and said this the other day

Saw this elsewhere

oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediverse

tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."

can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case

To expedite the process, Mastodon instances should just defederate from them entirely. Don't let them access that data through ActivityPub.

When Twitter had an exodus to Mastodon and a lot of new instances popped up, several were quickly defederated because they were scraping data from other instances, which made a lot of people uncomfortable.

There were also a few far right instances that spun up that were also defederated and blocked within 24 hours so the communities ability to respond to situations like this is very much there and I'm sure that the vast majority will not want to have a single thing to do with meta

I think its a case that those who moved recently (my account here is recent but Ive been on Lemmy.ml for 2 years), had seen the writing on the wall.

When the effects start to kick in, there will be another few large influxes then when the majority left on Reddit wonder why the site went to shit overnight and where everyone else went, they will leave too.

It will be very similar to what happened with Digg all those years ago.
