It’s an ice planet!

Carter, after exiting the second gate on Earth

Of course not, but that line of reasoning sounds similar to “I was just following orders”.

Honestly, most people working at a large corporation are not that impactful. Just a cog in the machine.

Just like any soldier in Nazi Germany’s army. Being a cog in the machine does not take away the guild from killing someone, or, if we are talking about “evil” companies, from denying someone treatment, or violating someone’s privacy, or…

Time as you know had a beginning and time has an end and then time begins again. As we shall each live our lives again exactly as before, I have been gifted to see into the old cycles of time. Not very clearly mind you, but I have learned that… yeah, you’re all pretty much fucked.

Lots of good stuff mentioned already, but nobody mentioned the Rivers Of London series yet. It is about a young police constabulary who solves crime using magic. Sounds pretty silly, but it’s pretty good. The author, Ben Aaronovitch, also wrote some scripts for Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks, for instance) and Blake’s 7, so there’s that.

Got you fooled, doesn’t he? He is not (that) confused, he is a criminal with zero scruples and near unlimited power who does seemingly random and idiotic things to manipulate markets and conditions in favour of his buddies and family.

Nice try, thesun.co.uk

The shah’s reign of terror was ended by the people of Iran, not by islamists. The islamists just coopted the revolution. Nobody wants the shah back.

And all that so big tech can spy on you better.

Crazy! Just played a mission, takes me waaaaay back. I just gotta ask: did they also port the bug where the range of the Atreidis sonic tank depends on the game speed?

If Github just kills repos without explanation, then using Github for anything is a mistake.

Better get some new leaders then that don’t have their heads stuck up Trump’s arse.

Sounds like RokChip really needed to put their hand on that hot stove top to understand they’d get burned. Hope they learn their lesson and improve their handling of FOSS code in the future.

There is no better way to proclaim to the world that you are an inhumane arsewipe than to block Doctors Without Borders.

In capitalism, sustainability is not a goal.

It will be thrown in the trash, and the companies will reap big tax write-offs.

Yeah, fuck those treaties. What are they going to do, bitch on Russian TV about it?

Hmm. My “socials”. What do they expect to find there? Oh right, probably this:

FUCK YOU, USA. Never coming back.

Shit on the table, then yell at them to clean it up.

It is everywhere. I prefer water straight from the tap, which is usually better quality anyway (say the labs, not me).
