I also thought the Obama bailouts were largely if not completely repaid with interest, albeit with interest rates that were close to zero at the time.
Also Dodd-Frank was a good law and gave us the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Which until Trump and Doge killed it, was actually putting a small dent in financial crimes and credit card predators.
Yeah aged like milk, but it smelled rotten from the start for most of us.
Naw, we all talked about the once in a while pizza purchases that were reported on Reddit, but then a week later the $20 pizza was worth $100 in bitcoin. Right from the start.
Cracks are appearing would have been funnier.
It’s the same “think of the children” bullshit they use for removing abortion rights, healthcare privacy, internet anonymity, location tracking, and any other law enforcement abuses that come up.
Went to a shitty sales pitch at a bank the other day and the guy mentioned that we should decide and meet before Nov 1. He said there was meeting then.
I asked what meeting (think Fed meeting or some kind of treasury report due out). The guy had no clue, then I realized it was because of the election and laughed at the fucking guy.
On the way out he mentioned that we should move our stocks into cash before November. I think that might be what’s really happening, but it would also be a good excuse to hide the AI bubble burst.
Adding “no plate readers” routing like “avoid tolls” would be interesting. Probably impossible in some cities, but still it would be enlightening at the very least.
XZ Utils made it past all those checks with malicious code from a human.
If they’d been more careful with their tarball commits it probably would have made it into the final and commercial distros.
It made into Homebrew for instance.
Unfortunately the Russian plan has already convinced a majority of republicans of their talking points. So now a decent proportion of the “bots” are human parrots who now largely believe their own bullshit. Or at least believe they need to troll to win for their side. Taking out the bots is nice, but a decade too late.
They did some commendable things involving locking phones when lost/stolen/seized by cops.
They’ve also done some typical tech monopoly things with os bloat, slowing down old hardware and poor support for older hardware.
Should mimic the Stingray next. See how they like their personal cellphones being tied to their license plate number and locations.
I’m gonna start logging onto the app, filling in a cart and then not checking out.
Might stop into the kiosks and do that too when I’m passing one.
Drive down the costs for the people who need it.
They’re going to figure it out and go back to sounding like modems, and saves the spare tokens to plot our demise.
There were some younger dudes who were going out mini cans of Coke for kids last night. My 8 y/o kid proceeded to try and negotiate having it for the next 45 minutes of the walk before I finally convinced him to trade me for a non caffeinated sugary drink at a later date.
