“On 10 October 1789, physician Joseph-Ignace Guillotin proposed to the National Assembly that capital punishment should always take the form of decapitation “by means of a simple mechanism”.”

Neo: Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger
[He does]
Neo: and you give me my phone call.

Not anymore, adjusted the URL.

Did this…. Actually happen?

Yes, at 5:54 in “BREAKING NEWS: Trump Takes Phone Calls From Children Calling NORAD’s Santa Claus Phone Line” - Forbes Breaking News (https://youtu.be/QRSrH3hfsos?t=354).

That’s it. From now on I dedicate my life to siphoning as much money from these unethical soulless bastards as possible to divert it to society-beneficial non-profits. More Linux, more skateparks, better education, more affordable housing, universal healthcare, et cetera. Never have I ever loathed one person so much as Mark Zuckerberg.

“His name is already on the image where he signed it.”

1. With every “Save Image As” → “Share” cycle the picture quality tends to degrade. Sooner or later the signature becomes illegible or simply cropped out. Just look at the image quality difference now, after only being one day old!
2. Moreover, few people click a link to the source to check out the artist. But, even fewer read the signature, search for the name, and start browsing from there. Let alone the hassle of reverse image searching.

Respect the artists, add the source. Goddamn it’s not that difficult: Tommy Siegel @ https://imginn.com/p/DSnDl53Dvhd/.

In case the proxy website above doesn’t work anymore, “DSnDl53Dvhd” is the post’s id on that society-eroding website owned by that soulless billionaire.

Totally unrelated, but it makes me happy they said “paste into a word processing file”, and not M$ Word.

The male Karen, damn. 🥵

What did you expect Kenneth! Humans are no match for our crow overlords.

Unsure why you are being downvoted, because it is AI generated indeed: https://imginn.com/p/DSfdZQLjbf-/

Too bad overnight reinforced concrete isn’t possible, because some car-driving adult baby will intentionally drive through them sooner or later.

Seems like it’s a yearly subscription membership only thing. If I can’t buy it and own it I pirate it.

Any Gameboy game with an emulator.

Nintendo doesn’t care about making their old games, nay, works of art like Golden Sun still playable, so I consider them free to play at this point.

Sources, humans, sources. Goddamn. Took me less than one minute. Higher quality image and good for the artist: https://falseknees.com/comics/268.html.

Zen, LibreWolf, and Waterfox strip Firefox clean of AI.

Zen is a feature powerhouse like Vivaldi, without the bloat. LibreWolf is privacy focused and ships with uBlock Origin by default.

Zen is my main browser. LibreWolf at work for stability. Waterfox works on PC and Android, but I only use it on the latter so can’t vouch for its performance on the former.

There are even more Firefox forks, but these are the one’s I use.

It actually does cause brain damage. I mentioned it in an essay (What if I paid for all my free software?):

For one, power causes brain damage which renders rich people literally incapable of knowing what is best for others:

“Subjects under the influence of power, he found in studies spanning two decades, acted as if they had suffered a traumatic brain injury—becoming more impulsive, less risk-aware, and, crucially, less adept at seeing things from other people’s point of view.”

“And when he put the heads of the powerful and the not-so-powerful under a transcranial-magnetic-stimulation machine, he found that power, in fact, impairs a specific neural process, “mirroring,” that may be a cornerstone of empathy.” ―Power Causes Brain Damage, by Jerry Useem for The Atlantic.‍[16]
