1975: "Let's build the Internet, a network that can survive a nuclear war!"
2021: "Let's host everything on the server of this one discount bookshop!"
Well there it is. The stupidest thing I've seen this year.
So how much is #Facebook paying the #Irish #DPC Commissioner #HelenDixon?

Google fires people for not being evil.
In other news, the sun rises in the east.

Tax the rich and vax the poor.
"Any application that could be done on a #blockchain could be better done on a centralized database. Except crime."
On the one hand, #Apple is suing NSO for surveillance using Apple devices.
On the other hand, Apple wants iOS and macOS to scan your photos on your device and report back to an authority. #CSS
The #hypocrisy is breathtaking.

#fediblock is how the fediverse dies, not with a bang but with a million little petty syncophants breaking the links that could connect the world
What's wrong with the Linux community (and, in fact, what's wrong with #Fosstodon).
Hmm... no, it's not just slow. It's stopping after 50 or so events.
Looks like I'm going to have to break the .ics into multiple parts. This is not going to be fun.
Alternative idea: let's see if Apple Calendar copes any better. I can still use Thunderbird afterwards since it's a remote caldav provider.
Unclear why #Mozilla #Thunderbird .ics import is so glacially slow.
At the current rate it looks like importing a 9000-event calendar file is going to take the best part of 18 hours.

Expecting a billionaire to save you from a crisis created by capitalism is like expecting a king to save you from a crisis created by monarchy.

English is a funny language with almost as many exceptions as rules. For example, did you know the word “billionaire” must always be preceded by the word “fucking?”
We need serious taxation on billionaires' assets, not just their income.
Though a tax on being a cunt would be similarly effective in this case.
