stop using similar aliases for fucks sake.

But…but…why? The KEWL leet gamer handle I came up with when I was 13 is still cool now!

✊ the struggle is real fam

Listen bud, Tim is a close personal name I’ve seen in media, and this is absolutely top of his list!

I’d never heard of it, and now I have, so this was the article I needed to read… apparently.

Nailed it 😘🤌

Thoughts and prayers y’all! 🙏

Fair enough, I’m not changing it though.

I think Google may still get split

Maybe, or maybe they’ll slip a bulging manilla envelope across the desk in the Oval Throne Room and an E.O will make everything go away. They might be forced in other countries to spin off regional business into separate corps, but with how international banking goes the money would certainly still hit the same accounts they always did, and marching orders will still be stamped by the same hands.

Look, we can go back and forth on this until the heat death of the universe. End of the day, we’re just two meat sack LLMs practicing a bit of conjecture and hypothesis. For all we know Google might accidentally create a minor black hole at HQ tomorrow and no longer be in anyone’s hair by lunchtime. I’ll agree to stop spitballing, I hope what you hope will happen happens, but from where I’m sitting we’re clearly in the Biff-Timeline, and I wouldn’t expect things to go well for anyone but the shareholders for the near future.

Agreed, just saying that they’re likely to avoid the FO stage of FAFO for a little while. And yeah, they could easily piss off the consumer enough to lose all their business, but to John T. Public, they’re still the GoTo for search, ad serve, email, navigation, in certain areas cell service/ISP. Without a strong governmental/judicial boot on their neck and gun to their head they’ll continue to monopolise a load of sectors, and will continue to pull money hand over fist for the foreseeable.

Give it a little while, all that’ll be left is LLM “AI agents” manipulating stock markets and DMing eachother “Line go UP! BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”
Until lack of maintenance makes all the power go out.

something a little more adjusted to their near future

Sorry bud, with Herr Trumpf and Von Musk at the helm of the States, they’re in absolutely no danger of being slapped down a few pegs…let alone broken up and made humble. Need a functional government based on the adherence to the rule of law for that. And unfortunately what they have is D.O.G.E. “streamlining” the removal of “woke” at maximum “efficiency.”

Seen you about, you’ve got some good takes, some bad takes, and some absolutely mindbogglingly daft takes.

From what I’ve seen, you are, in fact, a Shit Poster. And while I’ve not scrolled through your entire history, I’m fairly confident that you never claimed you weren’t a hypocrite.

Fair play.

I use voyager, so it’s more fun to tag em and watch their antics. Always a good laugh when there’s multiple Red tags frothing at eachother.

Since Herr Trumpf got elected for his second term, the line between MAGA and Tankie has been getting preeeeeetty thin. Seen a lot of “masks off” comments from the folk at .ml…

🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🤠 always was

No worries. I just wanted to point out that regardless of how insular a country is, there’s always something they’re importing or exporting. Even North Korea is the world’s hub for counterfeit everything.

And certainly not when he’s running for a second term, let’s be fuckin reasonable here eh?

It’s pretty extortionate in the UK too.

Switched my mum to Mint, and encouraged her to attend outreach meets put on by local Linux groups. She’s well pleased with it and has been recommending her friends to switch.
