Because it's totally true, I like to say that the opposite of consent is tech company.

With the persistence of a bratty child and the ethos of a rapist, Google is basically an addict, trying to prolong its high from the "AI" bubble that it created by endlessly forcing bullshit down our throats.

I started turning my computer on for work 50 minutes ago.

And I only use Windows/ #Microsoft because I am forced to use programs not made for working well on Linux.

Not convinced that mass surveillance makes us safer? You're in good company.

On Monday, 9/15 join other residents as we work toward getting Flock surveillance out of #Ithaca and #TompkinsCounty.

Wheelchair accessible & childcare provided. All are welcome.

Not rewriting this on a platform with less engagement, unnecessary length constraints, and more of the same bs centralization.

When I flew back home, I had to fly over my hometown & catch a connecting flight back.

Using a GPS-enabled #meshtastic node, I managed to send a message from myself in the air down to a node I own & control on the ground while flying over.

Hulu just emailed me to "clarify" that, like the rest of the economy, they too are full of shit.
