CEO approves of theft more at 11!

BOMBSHELL reporting right there

Extremely lame work by Google. Infeasible? Why? This is absolutely a security vulnerability. Any ad SDK on any app on your phone can use it to associate your VPN activity.

You don’t know me. You don’t know who I am or what I do.

But yes, my fellow citizens are not standing up enough. In fact, a ton of my local community strongly approves of what’s happening. They will gladly watch their friends and family dragged away.

These facists would have us all rounded up and put in the camps with the other undesirables.

It’s a grift. You bribe me to get an exception. That’s how they get so rich so fast.

Ubuntu just added that feature. Not my distro of choice, but it’s coming up.

Fed is screwed and still printing $40B/wk for “liquidity” on US treasuries because the market doesn’t want our debt.

Can’t raise interest rates to control inflation or the weak economy (when you exclude AI) gets crushed and interest on the debt explodes. Most of our debt is on short end bills so we feel the burn the moment that interest rates rise.

Can’t lower rates or inflation soars even higher.

I would ensure you have some hard assets. The money printers are whirring and devaluing dollars seems to be the most likely exit strategy in the long run.

Not financial advice. I’m a fool.

I really hope you’re right. My employer is using it as a crutch. I don’t think they can stop using AI because they just don’t have enough skilled employees to deliver on their commitments. They would pay nearly any price, and I’m sure they’re not alone.

This is fallout of the broader problem of ultra-extreme centralization and shortsightedness in pursuit of line go up. We eagerly run into a climate catastrophe for the same underlying reason. It’s not a matter of understanding the problem, but a matter of willingness to solve it.

Collectively, we are not willing to solve problems that might require a measure of compromise today.

Tale as old as time. Corpos try to get you dependent and then give your business an atomic wedgie.

The economic situation is complex.

I, too, can also make up big numbers.

230,000!

It’s an accurate name. The company has explicitly told us that they are a slop-first cloud company.

And now for your local on the 8s.

I’ll no legal expert but that sounds kind of like manslaughter.

I’m sure nobody will be charged.

We are making new debt to pay the old debt plus interest. What could possibly go wrong?

Not yet. So far, interest rates aren’t going crazy, meaning that investors expect to be paid and feel that government debt remains safe.

I don’t know of many households that own a money printer. The debt is a problem for sure, but so far, no signs of a meltdown nor the spending coming under control, and inflation at 2% seems to be something we’re giving up on.

Perhaps it’s a fallback plan in case the universal Internet ID thing doesn’t work out. Gotta keep the masses stupid and uncoordinated.

They’re already registered Republicans.
