This is an ad, and bullshit.
- Comment on The state of YouTube history search 1 week ago:
Got em!
- Comment on Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads to 6 Minutes Per Hour 2 weeks ago:
I’ve only ever used Prime whenever they offer it free or with a cheaper delivery than it costs.
Last time it started showing ads, so I just pirated everything I wanted to watch. I won’t even use it for free anymore, lol.
- Comment on From Hero to Zero (Budget) 2 weeks ago:
Not if they continue using the Nazi propaganda machine.
- Comment on ‘We have a mandate to act’: PM throws open doors to bolder agenda 2 weeks ago:
This masthead reported last week that Australian officials believe biosecurity rules could be tweaked to allow US beef into Australia, a key demand of the Trump administration, without compromising safety.
I will literally never knowingly buy US beef as long as I live. I’d prefer to eat tofu.
- Comment on Amazon vows to crack down on piracy on its Fire TV Stick range 2 weeks ago:
We’re rapidly approaching the time when a raspberry pi and bluetooth remote are the ultimate streaming stick.
- Comment on China's AI-powered humanoid robots aim to transform manufacturing 5 weeks ago:
Oh… goodie
- Comment on Mozilla is killing Pocket and Fakespot 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, unless they can be transferred freely between password managers they’re effectively a useless non-starter that multiplies vendor lock in.
- Comment on Hundreds join Sydney Uni Student General Meeting to reject university's new definition of antisemitism 5 weeks ago:
This is fucking horseshit. Sounds like every decision maker at Universities Australia is a criminally corrupt fascist. Any educator who spent leave over this is unworthy of being an educator.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 5 weeks ago:
False. I completely stopped pirating music 15 years ago, when streaming services came along that had 99% of what I wanted. The moment they enshittify and their value proposition deteriorates, I will sail the high seas again.
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 1 month ago:
To be fair, 24 is still a secure length for a password, and will probably be for another 5+ years.
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 1 month ago:
The illusion of choice under capitalism
- Comment on Trump admin announces plans to shut down the Energy Star program 1 month ago:
This will surely fix the price of eggs
- Comment on Trump's New Streaming Service Truth+ Is a Conspiracy Theorist's Dream Come True 1 month ago:
They’ve had Fox News for 30 years. His nazi party wouldn’t have won without it.
- Comment on Rian Johnson Says ‘I Don’t’ Agree With Netflix CEO Over Movie Theater Model Being ‘Outdated’: I Want ‘Knives Out 3’ in ‘Many Theaters For as Long as Possible’ 1 month ago:
Streaming quality is pretty dogshit compared to bluray or digital cinemas though. The files are compressed a good 5-10x.
That’s only really matters for a few movies a year.
- Comment on Two arrested following fiery protests in Melbourne CBD 2 months ago:
When they’re also implementing laws that could potentially serve to arbitrarily criminalise peaceful protesting you really need to be asking what is defined as “hate speech”. I did not see this in the article.
Do they mean supporting palestinians = “hate speech”, or do they mean calling for violence against groups of people? I thought that was already illegal, so what does this change?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the first cave paintings were a dick joke
- Comment on Meta could take a $7 billion hit this year because of Trump's tough China tariffs 2 months ago:
Don’t get fooled by the oligarch-owned media. The wealthiest individuals will benefit the most.
Fascism is a fusion of corporation and state (e.g. state-capitalism, like China). The next few years will likely see the largest transfer of wealth in history, and the S&P 500 will consolidate from an ownership of 200 separate conglomerates to 20-50 (example only. not real figures).
- Comment on Elon Musk Cuts Funding for Internet Archive 2 months ago:
They need to federate and decentralize with some sort of p2p protocol, so anyone can donate their spare hard drives for additional redundancy. Seeing up shop in any jurisdiction is a single point of failure.
- Comment on ‘I would defy ICC, welcome Benjamin Netanyahu to Australia’, says Peter Dutton 2 months ago:
ConservativesFascists are the same everywhere. - Comment on Trump excludes smartphones, computers, chips from tariffs 2 months ago:
The emperor is a convicted criminal rapist, and probably a pedophile. The trillion dollar fraud is probably one of his lesser crimes.
- Comment on What’s your favorite “flop” of all time? 2 months ago:
Last action hero is a classic. I fucking love that movie. The second half isn’t as good as the first, but it’s not terrible. It was ahead of its time.
- Comment on A lobby group representing Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Uber, and X has urged the US Government to take aim at Australian laws 2 months ago:
How long until corporations are arguing that taxation is “discriminatory” and puts their revenue and profitability “at risk”?
The meaning of life is to feed the corporate plutocracy, after all.
- Comment on Who came up with the idea to cut thousands of public service jobs? 3 months ago:
Conservatisms goal everywhere is to destroy representative government — to render it toothless by making it a tool of the oligarchy — and return the peasants to feudalism, ruled by a corporate plutocracy.
That’s why all conservative governments do the exact same thing; starve the beast, defund and privatise.
- Comment on Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest 3 months ago:
These are brown shirts. They are not law enforcement.
- Comment on The billionaires and politicians did it 3 months ago:
And repeat those successes it continuously for 50+ years
- Comment on Jewish Council of Australia slams universities' adoption of dangerous, politicised and unworkable antisemitism definition 3 months ago:
They’ve been fully absorbed by the hydra of capitalism and now solely act in the interests of money. Wealthy people insisted they adopt it, so they did. It’s as simple as that.
- Comment on GP visits to become free for most under $8.5b Labor [campaign] Medicare promise 4 months ago:
Neoliberalism and conservatism is failing everywhere, because it’s a universal fallacy.
- Comment on Coalition vows to match Labor's $8.5 billion Medicare [campaign] pledge 'dollar for dollar' 4 months ago:
The Coalition has vowed to match Labor’s pledge to boost Medicare funding by $8.5 billion over four years, describing a drop in bulk billing rates as a “mess” created by the government.
Sure is! A mess created by the previous decade of Lib mismanagement… But the average chucklefuck doesn’t pay attention so will only know what fashcorp & co tell them.
- Comment on Meta approves plan for bigger executives bonuses following 5% layoffs 4 months ago:
It’s legal because we live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”.
