Since they found the dog dead, too? Seems like a good guess.

I largely agree with you, but I still look at All frequently. It has the benefit of helping me find more communities to subscribe to, but also there’s just more activity.

US Spyware app, Chinese Spyware app, whatever its all the same.

The big bad Chinese government is using their malicious Spyware apps to steal and weaponize my recipe for vegan meringues.

This is the end of Western civilization as we know it.

I gotta say, I’m not too concerned about the CCP getting their hands on my latke recipe or knowing what bass I catch.

The NSA gets their mits on all this sent over US telecoms and servers anyway, and there’s no legal recourse for that.

All social media apps are spyware apps, I think it’s a bit silly to care that one is Chinese vs American.

There’s a lotta wholesome content about food and fishing and everyone seems very nice. I’m hoping the US doesn’t fuck it up.

Slave labor, plain and simple

The article says “Junuary”.

This whole domain is just AI slop and it should be banned.

This “author” isn’t a human being.

This article was written by AI and its pretty obvious.

I mean, I don’t get a say in it. By some very minor factor one may argue that I vote with my dollar, but there are so many mitigating factors with regards to the intentionality of that vote, such as pricing and availability. Furthermore, as you pointed out, the monopolies are obfuscated. Maybe I swear to never buy a Nestlé product, but I’m unaware of every one of their subsidiaries and I don’t keep track of their acquisitions.

Perhaps monopolies would be less egregious if the companies had the public good as their ultimate goal, but that will never happen as long as we have a society built around profit seeking.

I’m not sure this is an argument in support of monopolies as much as a demonstration of how monopolies are allowed to thrive and harm consumers in spite of existing legislation.

The Atlantic has gone tankie.

What does this mean?

Nope! Good to know should the steamlink crap out tho

I think that’s the logic behind it, but I get better stream quality using the dedicated box vs the app. Plus, can’t do the Moonlight thing over the app, as far as I’m aware.

Ngl I really love the Steamlink. I loaded Moonlight on it and it lets me play Xbox gamepass games on the couch from the PC too.

You gotta either hardwire it with ethernet cables or set it to run on dedicated wifi channels to get a good stream quality, though, and it’s better suited for turn-based games, though I’ve played plenty of platformers and shooters on it too.

Yah I sent something back in 2016 when I had hope for America, too, and I still get all this crap.

Yah if you gave $18 to Bernie or what have you, you consented for the DNC to reach out to ya through their various apparatus apparently until the end of time.

I won’t forgive Bernie Sanders for failing to fight the DNC when they manipulated and shafted him and then giving them my goddamn phone number.

Man I hope they can’t find an impartial jury to try this guy, but I know they’ll find 12 bastards.
