In other news, the world’s wealthiest people are running out of money after burning through the entire planet. Sources say one of the world’s multi-billionaires purchased a law firm that was in bed with the RIAA roughly 10-15 years ago when music piracy was supposedly costing more money than the GDP of all the peoples of the world, combined. “The Owners” (as they have recently rebranded) have decided to collect on this unpaid debt from every living soul, and from all the multinational companies who have been long-established as having no living souls whatsoever. A nameless, faceless, pitiless representative was quoted as saying: “Resistance… is futile. Your life, as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service… us.”

this season on Black Mirror, we re-write the first episode of Torchwood (the one where they briefly reanimate dead people to ask them how they died)

next, convert their owners into the homeless

Have you read the fiction they come up with? It’s not good.

when I see stories about technological advancements that will actually benefit people, I realize the people they will benefit first are either the hyper-wealthy or the friends of the hyper-wealthy. Space tourism? Flying cars? Robotic eyes? Artificial longevity/Immortality? Please.

David Rosen is pretty damn good.

@BolexForSoup can you recommend a good quality Upscaler ?

yes it does seem that way, but have you considered that maybe we should just all give all of our money to Microsoft and then just die of poverty? It would make their reports look so much nicer.

THEY HAD ONE JOB

remember how many years ago most news sites morphed into At least one DT story a day sites?

but you should buy stuff from Smorkyaplorb Megasystems because they give the best kickbacks

holy shit I’m so glad I got out of I.T.
What the fuck is any of that

I heard a track from Petey on a podcast by 40FI Creations - Let’s Play Ten. great track, totally grabbed me by the ears.

that Chappell Roan album slaps

In Canada in the 1980’s there was a short TV commercial about media literacy portrayed as a nature documentary, about the endangered Canadian House Hippo. After 15 seconds the commercial pauses and a voice asks if you actually believed what you were seeing, encouraging viewers to think critically about what they saw on TV.

These days the closest thing to that is snopes.com , and people have to actively seek that out. Without the House Hippo it is us who are endangered.

Microsoft submitted video evidence during their Antitrust trial in the late 90’s that had been edited together, but was being presented as unedited. i.e. they tried to pull the wool over the DOJ’s eyes, because why not? https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-on-trial-ms-videotape-not-what-it-seemed/

They included IE4 in Win98 - that was seen as anticompetitive. Compare that to everything they do today. Or everything Apple does today (like, literally everything). It’s shocking that something like including IE with win98 was worth pursuing, but yet everything since then was just how big business does big business.

Don’t we all.

that site has a great interface, lots of ways to sort data in useful ways.
Other sites could learn a thing or two from whoever did their UI
