This is the result of ever-expanding executive power.

It’s mostly elites that think they’re losing elite status–which to them feels like persecution. Additionally, I do think a lot of DEI initiatives at companies are poorly designed.

Altman and his ilk are so full of shit. Even the name of their company is incredibly ironic and insulting.

This is what I do:

1. Buy a perpetual license to the content I want (usually on Prime or Microsoft Store)
2. Pirate it and load it onto my PLEX server.

This is the only way I can actually have control over the content that I fucking paid for. If that makes me a thief, then so be it.

Of course, this only works for PPV content. I generally just don’t watch content that’s available via streaming subscriptions only. I never paid for cable and I’m not paying for cable 2.0.

EA stopped innovating years ago and became a games monetization shop. You reap what you sow.

Even Costco’s shareholders are based. Love it.

Welp, just canceled that subscription. They can fuck right off.

Tremendous respect for this lady. Speaking truth to power–particularly those with authoritarian aims–is vital to the future of our democracy.

Absolutely. People talk about another civil war. If you start hearing about spontaneous violence in the streets, that’s when you need to worry. I think if this actually passed, we’d start hearing about stuff like that.

Realistically, Republicans know this has no chance of passing. Frankly, I think this is just mean-spirited trolling–which is a good indicator of the state of our politics. We want to see the other side suffer.

The consumer GPU market is becoming a dystopia at the top end. AMD has publicly retreated from it and Intel is likely a decade away from competing there. I guess I’ll stay in the midrange moving forward. Fuck Nvidia.
