This isn’t technology, it’s technology applied in the single worst possible way!

Holy fuck, this has the makings of a disaster.

Celebrities live in a world totally divorced from reality, humanity, or consequences.

This is always the answer.

Fuck 'em all.

Please don’t editorialize.

I messed with a few browsers (Librefox and others), but ended up on Waterfox because it’s just Firefox…without much extra shit. It’s faster, lighter, and runs all of the Firefox extensions I love.

It was. I’m struggling to find anything that was an actual improvement in the UI. Most of the changes were trivial and change for change’s sake; but some were awful, and none are clearly better.

Mozilla has stopped working on developing and improving their products, and is now entirely focused on adding trendy terms and garbage, to feed money to their C*Os.

I’d disagree on one point. The reason he started with immigrants is because on a deep level, many people - certainly most of his supporters - are somewhat racist, and are OK with immigrants getting fucked over, deported, or slaughtered.

Downvote every post and article that begins with ‘Trump says’ or ‘Trump claims.’

If you’re not sure what my point is you’re not informed enough to present a legitimate argument.

Or maybe you didn’t present your point clearly.

Or maybe you’re just wrong.

These are entirely possible scenarios you might want to consider.

The premise of a web business model is that websites must make a profit - either directly or indirectly.

That’s utter bullshit. Some of us are old enough to remember when the web (or for that matter, the pre-web internet) was there for sharing of information, social interaction, and community. Schools, the government, and nonprofits provided hosting for free.

Later on, ISPs started to add hosting as part of their internet service - along with usenet access and an email address. The cost to them was negligible, especially vs. the benefits of being able to say “switch to us and create your own website!”

Nowadays you can run a site from your home PC in a VM, punch a hole through your firewall, and pay a modicum for DDNS to a custom domain for under a hundred bucks a year. If you’re a bigger site with more traffic, maybe you spin it up on AWS and pay ten or twenty bucks a month.

The very idea that “The Web” is a homogeneous, for-profit entity is a profound and fundamental mistake that is made by every money-obsessed organization around - not just the financial rags like Forbes and The Economist, but essentially corporations as well. Take a look at the support site for your favourite product and try to convince yourself that they didn’t just put the minimum required effort in to send customers into the arms of their competitors.

Such bullshit.

“AI is going to fix everything, so we need a new way to make money.”

1. AI is nothing but a delusional and unwanted waste of energy.
2. The web doesn’t need a business model, period. Money-grubbing billionaires are the only ones who need a business model.

Yes, and?

Stop giving credence to the indulgent rants of self-interested billionaire fascists.

Why mention it? Because the media has a DUTY to call out a corrupt government! Because they’re not doing their job!

They can’t, but they will anyway.

No discussion in the article about fraud or conflict of interest.

So many things wrong with this headline.

• It is ‘nearly impossible to escape’ FOR ANYONE, not just US citizens. By design.
• You can be in the US legitimately without being a citizen.
• ANY AND EVERY detainment by ICE is wrongful.
• You are not legally required to provide ID to authorities. In some states you can be compelled to provide your full name and possibly your address, ONLY if there is reasonable suspicion against you.

Don’t call it an arrest.

It’s detainment. Kidnapping even. But an arrest has certain procedures and requirements that are not being followed by ICE.

The world really has to stop reporting on Trump’s garbage as anything but deranged ravings of a demented lunatic.
