Oh hell no. I’ve seen how he manages his money. Like fuck I’m letting him anywhere near mine.

I’ve worked in software development for over 20 years, and I stand by what I said. If you’re that tied to a specific implementation, you’ve fucked yourself and you deserve to fail. You can copy most of your resources over, the rest is just a matter of porting your logic.

Yeah, you’re still out in left field. If you’re telling me that your studio can’t handle sub-optimal returns while they swap out one (one!) piece of your development stack, then you have no business being in business.

They can finish up those projects and then move on to another engine. We shouldn’t encourage a hostage situation where we have to stay with an untrustworthy platform just because they have a metaphorical gun to some developers’ heads.

So long, ya greedy dumb bastard.

Guess they ran everyone out of business that they needed to, so now the premium features get yanked and your choice of alternatives is curtailed. Hooray for enshittification.

AI is actually the king of bullshit. It might give you some code, but will it compile? Probably about as well as an AI art knee would actually bear your weight.

Just wait until you see my new news site, The Real Real News. Double the truth!

That’s one way to not skip leg day. Put some gold bars in your coat before you go walking around.

Like… a cavalry charge? Infantry? Rhinocerii?

Musken.

Until it isn’t. The platform is still single-tracked through an unaccountable billionaire.

Reddit can still attract advertisers. Twitter, not so much.

Anyone who hasn’t abandoned the platform by now deserves whatever they get.

More bad news for China, if true.

I hadn’t been aware that Scientology was mixed up in all this but I am not in the least surprised to learn it.

When people tell you who they are, believe them. Expect that eventually these particular people are going to bring violence to your doorstep, if they haven’t already. Be ready to defend yourself.

What an absolute loser.

Why hasn’t James Bond snuffed this fool yet?

That sounds more like a profession of faith than a logical argument. But to refute, kiddie porn is banned and not at all powerful. In any case TOR is quite thoroughly compromised by multiple law enforcement and related agencies, so maybe that particular pirate cove isn’t your best bet.

Why do you think they can’t ban it? If they can regulate it they can ban it. Use of an illicit currency would be a financial crime that they would investigate like any other.

Then how are you free from “corrupt governments”? You’re still paying taxes on income and on property, so even if you acquired property with funny money the government is still getting its cut. And if the government felt like crypto was getting out of hands it would apply further laws to it or outlaw it.

Ah, I see, you think that because you can mint Schmecklebux or whatever and use it as a medium of exchange, you’re somehow exempt from the laws of whatever country you’re in when the trade goes down? Tell me, does your flag have a fringe on it?

So you prefer your currency to backed by the full faith and credit of… nobody? And you think you’re not being duped. Hilarious.

All money is fiat money. It has an agreed upon value outside of its intrinsic worth. If you want to get away from fiat money you have to go back to barter.

What the hell kind of rickety rig are you running?

Crypto is a scam and you’re being duped.

Surprised it took this long, honestly.

The guy who runs the place already said that there would be mugshots for all. I bet Trump smiles for the camera like fuckin’ Tom DeLay did. Smarmy bastard.

Because they’re sellouts.

If you can’t pay your workers a fair wage, you don’t deserve to stay in business.

Yeah, I’ve heard insurance is getting hard to come by in FL. Something that maybe a governor should go about trying to address, but he can’t. No time, gotta get back out there and talk tough about slitting throats and repeating “woke” as many times per minute as possible.

DeSantis is poison for Florida. He’s so busy trying to prove how much he hates gays & non-whites that he doesn’t take any time to govern. But I guess that’s the standard GOP playbook these days.

Would be interesting to see if their attitudes changed after facing catastrophic, irreparable physical consequences for saying such things.

They’ll be fine so long as they still have their cousins.

The primary system is institutionalized insanity. This is why our choices devolve into Weekend at Bernie’s vs. a rapist Russian stooge.

I am proud of my vocabulary, but I don’t know that I’m unique in my use of the word. Thanks, in any case!

I’m way past sick of this fucking gerontocracy. The people determining the future should have a stake in it.

That’s it, I’m going to .war

Also, he’s an unoriginal dipshit. All he’s good at is buying things and slapping his name on 'em, he’s never had an idea of his own.
