@MKBHD Hype for an even more locked down, enshittified, Google infested Android, no doubt.

This is a lot of hype ngl. You have my attention

@prestonjbyrne The years just get odder and odder.

The UK's censorship agency, Ofcom, issued 4chan with a giant fine today. We responded to Ofcom with a giant hamster today.

@XJosh I enjoyed his unique autistic brand of tech videos for years. I unsubbed when dropped this retard shit. The dude is high on his own farts now.

@eastdakota @Cloudflare Cloudflare sucks and is an monopoly. Suffah, Matthew.

Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online. That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values. In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers. I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection. In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!

@XJosh @ohiogop @Timcast What's wrong with year round school? Speaking as a parent, I don't really see why it's such a bad idea.

@ohiogop Sorry @Timcast, homie's actually that stupid. This video is not AI. He was so owned by this he actually edited the segment out and reuploaded it on social media. He forgot to do it on Threads because nobody uses Threads. Someone snagged it. x.com/MeidasTouch/st…

@XJosh 4 pages of bitching about shit everybody already's heard a thousand times over just to get to the fucking point that she's quitting in January.

It is genuinely insane how everything I like dies.

@XJosh Not in the slightest.

@CheapyD Man that makes me sad. I remember browsing Target's fully stocked game section back the mid 2000s while listening to cagcast mp3s on my flip phone. Good times.

This Target told the future!

@austintexasgov Looks like shit. Why does a city need a "brand" As much as you would like, Austin is not a corporation. Stop trying to act like one.

We are launching our first-ever brand, aimed at improving our engagement with + service to Austinites.👏 👉 Learn more: bit.ly/47sKZA9 📌 AustinTexas.gov/AustinBrand (1/4)

@MKBHD No more physical sim slot? bye bye pixel.

@XJosh Not everyone who is on Medicaid is able bodied and can work. In my state kids in foster care rely on it. Then you have the elderly who literally can't work. I get your frustration. I pay taxes and insurance too. But a need is a need.

@XJosh Medicaid/Medicare is actually useful tho. There are many people who rely on it as their only source of healthcare. The current healthcare system is already fucked and taking Medicare are will just make things even harder for Americans.

@CarlKingofDucks @XJosh This is true.

@XJosh I know it doesn't personally effect you because you have no family you care about, but many of us have loved ones on Medicaid/Medicare.

@XJosh @krakenfx @c7five @arjunsethi I always considered Kraken as one of the good ones. But I guess they're just a shit as all the other big gay exchanges out there.

Taking accountability:

@MastercardNews Total Payment Processor Death

@XJosh @Visa @Mastercard @stripe @patrickc @collision Total Payment Processor Death

In case you're wondering: this is a lie, @Visa are liars, @Mastercard are liars, @stripe are liars, the @patrickc @collision brothers are lairs, they run businesses evaluated in the billions, they handle trillions of dollars a year, they will lie straight to your face.

@XJosh schizo take, therefore, 100% legit.

Everybody speaks English to the point where it's hard to learn foreign languages even living abroad because the locals switch to English as soon as they have you pegged as a fat American. The success of the American empire makes English universal, and deprives us of a local language to retreat to. Foreigners will start talking Spanish or Russian to each other when they want to be frank. English speakers can never be frank with each other because the foreign can always understand us and interrupt. I wonder if France, Rome, Greece, etc had similar issues that compromised their national security.

@XJosh Demonic abominations

my rule is: if you can't shoot it, it ain't real.
