Y'all deserve it.
You do nothing but try and uplift the fandom and show us all there's a better way of interacting with each other, our media, and the creators of that media.
I hope you have success for many years to come.

Sometimes your browser has that information cached, so if you only visited stuff you typically visit yesterday then you likely didn't notice, or you merely had degraded performance on services. Some places were totally down.
I am deeply concerned. Two major DNS providers being out is baaad.

Bannon is indirectly responsible for Gamergate back in the day.
He's SUPER Nazi.

Difference here is that Russell doesn't seem to have the same Ego problems as Musk as far as I can tell, at least they're not as easily exploited.
Nevertheless, I haven't had much luck finding anything concrete, is there any specific organization going on to protest Palantir directly?

I'd argue that the Jedi Order were Jedi only in name.
The vast majority of them were jumped-up Cops. :P

Now we need to kill that "Big beautiful bill".

There are so many people who say "Don't become what you hate."
...And yet- how else am I to respond to the constant suffering- suffering that I at one point in my life- naively thought we had moved past- other than with violent rage?

I certainly am not going to say no to the idiots tearing into the other idiots.
I'm not going to trust it, but it's strategically useful.

So- I've noticed a shit ton of smaller Fiber companies have been starting up all over the country, any chance one of those might be available? They've been replacing old telephone/DSL infrastructure where they show up.

Eh, my people'll get there one day...
Unfortunately there's going to have to be a shit-load of suffering for us to do so, but we'll get there.

Alternate timeline where K2 met Bix.

I doubt we have a good way of translating the "Jibberlink mode" these things use either.
Meaning these things'll likely start throwing all kinds of bad info into who knows what systems- whether they mean to or not.
Names, SSIs, Phone numbers, Credit Card numbers
No idea where any of it is!

There are SO MANY implementations of household Robotics and AI that don't need to be so fuckin' evil.
Fact is, this technology is being leveraged towards destroying people's autonomy and it's genuinely anathema to everything I stand for.
Freedom through Technology means- Saying no to tech abuse.

"Unprofessional" is just a term to admit weakness. :P

...On one hand? Absolutely, yes, boycott wherever you can.
On the other hand, wow the Linux crowd has found another way to be smug.
(And before folks read the worst possible interpretation, that was a joke, those are allowed. :P)

It did some of that, but not nearly enough.
The core issue is that they simply found new loopholes to do horrible shit to people with. The whole institution must be destroyed.

It'd be hilarious! And significantly less problematic than "Do they know it's Christmas"

When all options for peaceful discourse have failed, an explosive, decisive implementation of Violence, delivered with as much precision as is necessary is justified.

Only reason a politician of any reasonable competence should meet with these people is to tell them- to their face- to fuck off.

Power-metal for me.
Through the Fire and the Flames gases me up to face the world's horrors and know that they are beatable, no matter how much they hurt to deal with.

Hey EA, you know what else encourages creativity?
A stress free enviornment where the possibility of getting laid off is far far FAR away from anyone's perception.
But I guess if y'all knew that your company wouldn't be bleeding out.

Kinda rough, because the circumstances of Iraq were so fucked up in totally different ways.
I'd go for a whole new cast of characters...same vibe, but new people.

Y'know it's at this moment that I just rememrbered how I thought Discovery was condescending and tried to ignore it because I thought I was cis at the time and didn't wanna speak on it.
But now it's nice to see someone else see what I saw!
See-saw!

I once put some of those artillery pieces on a boat in a navytech game.

Which is especially infuriating knowing that it's possible to run LLMs in ways that don't obliterate the earth's natural resources.
We just fucking don't.

I put that caveat here because y'really shouldn't be running command line commands and registry edits from untrusted strangers on the internet.
While I can attest it should be fine, you'll also want to make sure to check other sources to make sure I'm not evil. :P
Which- PSA for anyone looking!
