This, and the WordPress mess, are two contenders for this years “wtf are u even doing” award.

They pretty much forgot what social platforms were, from the country of Meta and Facebook, which leads the entire internet to respond:

Little me had this. I got my feeling of success from this thing. Believe it or not, but getting one of these installs to work on a consumer i386 wasn’t easy. It was uphill, both ways, bla bla bla they had just introduced python as this hip new systems language that they used in the installer - which was the style at the time, and still is, apparently. The circle of life I guess. In any case, my system drive couldn’t be the slave. It had to be the master. What’s that, nurse? Is it nap time? ZzZzZzZzZz…

…well of course they did, LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft.

Well of course it is… you gotta render the service paid for lol let the Russian oligarchs get their money’s worth.

Your mom is easy… said the deep-pocketed founding member of the Rust Foundation.

I put peepee in the doodoofard.

Them: “States rights”

Conservatives: “noooo, not like that!”

haha no.

What’s Meta need a bunch of fascist Christian nationalists for? It’s not like they have an overlapping demograph-oh yeah, ofc.

Mark Zuckerbot sure is a shrew bastard. Elon Musk wishes he had his computational brain.

“Bing bong, fuck ya life”

The sound the bolts make, the statement from Boeing.

Listen, if there isn’t a server you can download maps and umods on that allows you to fly a shark in the sky with redeemer rockets over a Burger King, then I’m not interested…

UT99 was too good for us.

Ext4 is faster, but I love BTRFS not just because of CoW, but subvolumes as well. You could probably get something similar going with LVFS, but I prefer that to be baked in, hence why I’m waiting for bcachefs, because it’ll up the ante with tighter integration, so that might translate to better performance.

Notice my use of the word might. BTRFS performance is not so great.

The problem with automating everything is that suddenly consumers have no money to spend on products and services… you know what that means.

Universal Basic Income

That, or an oligarchy class keeps a distance between themselves and 99% of the people via privatised security, or even national security.

So socialism, or a return to the aristocracy. Take your pick.

I’m going to switch from BTRFS at some point, but at this point that’s going to be a few years down the line.

This, and Bangladesh. All places that rely on wage slavery, child labour and unethical working conditions, because that which is unethical is also very cheap.

You can’t really compete with slavery, because again: it’s very cheap, and the way the Chinese state leads Chinese farmers and villagers into social lock-ins, whereby they legally become stuck in an area where there’s only grueling, deadly, soul crushing and back breaking labour that leads to a life of poverty becomes a problem for the rest of the world if it’s used to manipulate the markets.

I do of course realise this article is about “too big to fail” companies that corner every market, but I also think that the west and the east needs to think about what it means to partake in a race to the bottom where wage slavery is part and parcel of the market. It creates conditions whereby competition involves who can make the most horrible living conditions in the world, and do you really want that?

There are Chinese labourer families who have been trying to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” for generations now, and it’s all thanks to other nations enabling the Chinese regime - especially the west.

…because everything is bigger in Texas?

Not even with the child labour? These venture capitalists are just the worse. They don’t make any money, they just lose it over longer periods of time. Smh.

Your first reply was a whataboutism that tried to deflect the very obvious problem of US companies not taking security seriously, which has now devolved into you calling me a communist…?

E everything you don’t like is a communist, isn’t it?

Take your whataboutisms, ad hominems and the rest of your logical fallacies for a long walk off a short pier, because at this point I’m just blocking you.
