When companies start using it

vga , in Stephen King gives blunt three-word response after discovering Florida banned 23 of his books in schools

I wonder how many bytes were spent sending these three words to my screen.

NineMileTower , in You aren’t likely to lose a job in the US but may find it harder to land one

Well, this fucking blows. This morning I was looking for something to crash into so I would either die or not have to go to work.

GBU_28 ,

Hey buddy hope you’re ok today. Are you looking to chat or solution about it, or just venting

NineMileTower ,

I’m 100% not ok. Not many solutions, but I keep on trying.

GBU_28 ,

Well, random dude wishing you well. I hope you find a way to a path that is more acceptable to you, soon.

GBU_28 , in You aren’t likely to lose a job in the US but may find it harder to land one

Always be shopping. Always be talking to new opportunities. It’s the passive obligation of your current job to keep you, via acceptable/competitive comp and tolerable working conditions.

Delta_V , in How Navy chiefs conspired to get themselves illegal warship Wi-Fi

“STINKY” is the default SSID for Starlink routers. These stupid motherfuckers couldn’t even figure out how to change the default settings. I wonder if they were using a default username and password too?

OpSec my ass.

Myxomatosis , in Alleged Russian Propagandist Tim Pool Screams That ‘Ukraine is the Enemy of the US’

Fun fact: the stupid fucking beanie that Tim Pool wears also doubles as his cumsock.

It's going to be studied historically forever, how this scum pile is even an option for such a large portion of this country.

Not if he wins, expect all “studies” that aren’t right-wing propaganda to cease entirely.

calabast ,

If he wins, the only valid (legal) studies can be performed by watching a lot of YouTube videos. And the only way you are allowed to publish your study results is as a 2.5 hour YouTube video.

Steve , in Verizon is buying Frontier in $20B deal to strengthen its fiber network

Verizon didn’t like spending money on its fiber network. Cellular had better margins. So they sold much of it to Frontier.

Now Frontier invested in the fiber, and is making money, so Verizon wants it back.

This is an example myopic management, with no long term vision. Share price should drop, but it’ll probably go up.

Whenever it does heat up, it’s just obnoxious randos on LinkedIn hard core recruiting me for shitty positions that aren’t even what I do.

“Loser with no personality who doesn’t touch grass screams and cries like a baby”

RockyC , in Popular Israeli podcasters call to ‘erase every living being’ in Gaza and West Bank

Israel can fuck right off. Clearly, “never again” doesn’t mean fuck all to the Israeli government who are doing the same shit the Nazis did, only with bombs instead of gas chambers.

Fuck Israel. The US should have stopped giving them money decades ago.

whyalone , in Truth Social Hits All-Time Low as CEO Sells His Crashing Stock

Duped! Completely fooled! Hoodwinked! Who could have seen that coming??

thanks for the money…

givesomefucks , in White House Says Putin Should 'Stop Interfering' After Backing Harris.

He’s not backing Harris he’s sowing discord and trolling.

Also, I’m not sure we should be posting a media source controlled by the US government…

mediabiasfactcheck.com/radio-free-europe-radio-li…

Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) is a private, nonprofit, multimedia broadcasting corporation founded and funded by the US government during the Cold War to counter Soviet propaganda. According to their about page, their mission is “RFE/RL journalists report the news in 20 countries where a free press is banned by the government or not fully established. We provide what many people cannot get locally: uncensored news, responsible discussion, and open debate.”

They’ve got a good rating, it just feels like implicit bias.

Something can still be propaganda even if it’s true, and it’s hard to quantify bias in article selection.

To report a statement from the US government? Who would you propose?

givesomefucks ,

Who would you propose?

The US government releasing a statement…

Not a “non profit” controlled by the US government.

I think it’s an important difference there, but I understand some people would be fine with it as long as they agree with government administration currently in power.

Unfortunately very few people think both parties should be held accountable

The US government releasing a statement…

I believe this sub requires articles, doesn’t it? I don’t think an official statement would qualify, but I’m mot a mod.
Never mind. It appears that’s not the case. I must have gotten confused with the rules for /c/politics

Not a “non profit” controlled by the US government

Are these scare quotes meant to imply they are actually for profit?

Frankly, I kind of feel like you’re looking awfully hard for a way to stir shit.

We use news articles all the time reporting statements from governments; there’s certainly no requirement to only use primary sources. If any news source would be acceptable as a secondary source to report a government’s statements, I’d think BBC in the UK, DW in Germany, France24 in France, or RFE/RL in the US would be the one you’d use.

And I don’t see what this business about two parties has to do with the matter.

Unfortunately modern political discourse has gotten to the point of consistent standards often being met with that accusation.

Have a nice life tho, I appreciate you being honest about it at least, I just don’t have time for people who think that way

ccunning ,

I get checking media sources and understanding their biases, but do you really think it needs to be added to the blocklist?

Seems excessive to me.

LEDZeppelin , (edited ) in Right-wing influencers were duped to work for covert Russian influence operation, US says

Duped? How? By getting paid?

Atsur ,

Oopsie I was just so confused by this giant bag of cash!

realcaseyrollins OP ,

The U.S. Justice Department doesn’t allege any wrongdoing by the influencers, some of whom it says were given false information about the source of the company’s funding. Instead, it accuses two employees of RT, a Russian state media company, of funneling nearly $10 million to a Tennessee-based content creation company for Russia-friendly content.
