Companies have become experts in socializing risk to tax payers while privatizing profits to shareholders.
And we all let them do this.

Yes. I get about two to three solar panel sales people a month.


Israel is absolutely NOT an ally of the US. They might be an ally of Trump but there is no fucking way that if the US were attacked, Israel would fuck all to help us.
Enshittification!!!


Aubrey Plaza had the brand that she was this independent and couldn’t give a fuck progressive chick. And then she did a milk propaganda campaign and her reputation took a hard dive.
Look, I get everyone needs to get paid. But it’s not like milk needed another spokesperson. This was on the same level as Terry Crews doing an Amazon commercial on the heels of them denying unionization at a warehouse.
I lost a lot of respect for her after this commercial.


I hate when companies do this at conventions.
A few times I approached a booth because I heard some good things about them. More often than not it’s an attractive woman who stands there all bubbly to attract engineers. I ask technical questions about the product because I assume that this person wearing the company’s shirt that they actually know something. But then they shepard me to toward the technical staff who are exactly who you expect them to be.
One time this happened I asked them why they aren’t at the front talking to people and they said their managers wanted someone who could pull people in. I figured out then that the eye candy weren’t even employees at the company.


Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good.
At least they are fighting back. And now they have the collective power to stop working.





I actually like this approach. Better than the wackamole approach of pRoTeCtInG tHe KiDs


There is plenty of porn on Wikimedia Commons.


For those curious:


Outside of the sheer incompetence of this administration, is there ANY chance this was done intentionally as a honeypot or something along those lines?
The fact that the commits were explicit along with bypassing all the checks could read as someone trying to see who knocks on the door.


OF, like anything connected with capitalism, suffers from the same motivation: extract as much value for as little effort as possible.
Unless the model is truly, 100% wanting the life associated with OF (they exist but are rare), they gonna capitalism.
I have made friends with a handful of OF models (met them completely outside OF and found out that’s what they do) and they hate the grind but they have to. Their competition is every other model and porn site so they have to be personal.


Honestly, it’s probably one of the few industries where men are paid less than women.
I looked into the porn industry during the pandemic and it’s wild, pun intended. Some companies are legit and super concerned about consent and paying people well but others are not (i.e. girlsdoporn). Some production companies are super progressive while others are normal capitalistic ventures with shitty values.
Even individual models (e.g. onlyfans models) can be deceiving. Some are “real” in the sense it’s the real model interacting with you while others hire third-world companies to manage their sites. (Aside: be careful not to form parasocial relationships with OF models.)


I got really lucky. I bought my PC between the crypto crash, right before the AI uprising.
Buying from Costco is still relatively decent.


Company is going to challenge that they can’t give that away for privacy reasons.
But they can sell it for profit reasons.


They no longer provide a free tier. It was 10 login entries and I think 5 simultaneous logins.


I use Dashlane myself. It’s free tier is 10 logins which is a bit of a joke.
I like Keepass and do use it for my non-critical stuff. I sync using syncthing
Edit: Dashlane no longer offers a free tier.


Jeremy Bearimy baby.
Didn’t something similar happen in Turkey? Russian drones ended up crashing into something in Turkey and NATO more or less shrugged and said, “Stay on your side of the fence”.
