Before I even read: it's phishing, and it's nothing new. There's no evidence supporting anyone has broken this level of E2EE.

After reading: oh look. Surprise. This is my surprised face.

This just screams of "we want backdoors to be forced into encrypted things so we have even more control"

Yeah, sit down and accept the fascist takeover and don't bother vandalizing their symbols because that's against their law.

Wouldn't want to do anything crazy like protest in a non violent way, and heaven forbid anything more extreme happen! This is basically domestic terrorism.

I love the repeated panels, almost like the path is checking to see if anyone looking before it shifts.

Well, I ate the title. It seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I legitimately expect there to be something negative about unions in it. Whether it's a "corrupt union boss" or a union strike blamed for something bad happening.

We know how to handle fascist nazis.

A lot of the developed world rallied together to do it around the 1940s.

Weird how there was no end to "states rights* stuff for the last four years, but the four years before that was strangely quiet. And I distinctly remember about 8 years before that where it was all they would talk about... And tan suits for some reason... Just a weird coincidence....

Suuuuuuper weird.

maximally profitable game

See, it really is just an algorithm that can be nailed down perfectly, and I've got an entire floor of statisticians and market analysts that agree it'll make me berjillions!!!1!!

Lpt: they're also telling me more statisticians and market analysts will help boost my numbers too! Jackpot!

Based on my experience, having never used TT myself, but married to someone who does and friends with people who do...

You DON'T really get different perspectives. In ANY of those platform styles.

It's literally designed to show you whatever you engage most with, and usually that's "things that get you angry" regardless of who you are. For my wife, it's "here's how my family is shitty/aita" for some of my friends it's "here's how I was being misgendered/deadnamed/not accepted" and for some people I know, it's "here's a person who is not cis/white/christian/male existing in my general area"

I guess you get the different perspectives if you know a wide variety of people who use it and don't actually use it yourself?

But one day they might be the one on top! And it will be because they worked hard and deserve it!

My favorite thing is seeing attempted memes of "this is the future the left wants with socialism/communism/anticapitalism" and.... It's literally just a picture of regular old capitalism making sure certain people get the worst of it. Usually houseless camping hotspots, and slums that supply larger wealthier areas with their luxuries and labor.

I haven't heard of her, but I'm tossing the popcorn in the microwave as we speak!

They stated they didn't break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn't seed any.

Torrents are downloaded by "leeches" and put out for download by "seeders"

A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you're not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don't seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you're called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn't seed.

So they're stating "we didn't break the law, we're just leeches!"
