LightBug1··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

But I'm pleased you live up to your profile name.

All best,

LightBug1··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
I note that you do acknowledge the hypocrisy.

That's enough for me.

LightBug1··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
It's not "looking for support", it's pointing out the abject hypocrisy. But what's new. Have a great day.
LightBug1··on Behind the scenes at the NeXT Computer office
Thanks for that fairER assessment.

For all his warts and all, Jobs is starting to age well in comparison to the current crop of wankers.

Excuse my French.

LightBug1··on Elon Musk Just Gave Europe a Reason to Replace American Technology
Only if you ignore the last 100 years of geopolitics. But, fair point.

Welcome to the party.

Fuck that obnoxious wanker.

LightBug1··on Around a dozen banking apps began specifically permitting GrapheneOS
Thanks for the heads up. Will wait for the Moto reboot! Hopefully this becomes more of a thing.
LightBug1··on Around a dozen banking apps began specifically permitting GrapheneOS
Thanks for the heads up!!!

I'm a previous Moto user and despite Pixel supposedly being more advanced, I really disliked them. I always preferred the Moto phones.

Gives me hope!

LightBug1··on Around a dozen banking apps began specifically permitting GrapheneOS
Excellent. That was one of my main issues with Graphene.

I'm just starting a deep-dive on it.

As a newbie, can existing users point out any other gotchas?

* EDIT: Oh ffs, only on Pixel phones ...

LightBug1··on Woman faces six years in prison over Cash App account she never opened
The instance might be exceptional, but the steady torrent of different varities of shit coming out of the USA is not exceptional. It's incredible.

And don't me wrong, I'm certain there are millions of good people in the USA. But the assholes are in the ascendancy. Obviously.

Stand up, or get flushed down the shitter.

Let me guess. USA?

For the land of the free and home of the brave ... it's incredible what you let happen.

LightBug1··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
I think the point is that - tragically and infuriatingly - it seems we'll answer that question when it happens.

Personally, I think it's time for some metaphorical guillotines to change our current directon.

LightBug1··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
We will continue extracting absolutely everything we can from Earth, at whatever the cost ... with the hope that technology will one day save us from our weakness.

And, yes, technologyy may "save us", but there are many different definitions of what that will look that ... some may be horrendous for the majority, but none of them will inconvenience those making the most significant decisions.

LightBug1··on DeepSeek just open-sourced its inference engine
TARIFFS! LOL
LightBug1··on Tesla Roadster
It's a joke. A clever trick. To what end? ... absolute joke.

Do you know what gets me excited? Have you seen the new Porsche Mission S?

Form, function and beauty ...

LightBug1··on Tesla Roadster
Highly practical. Basically a clown car.
LightBug1··on Deloitte falsified documents to evade tax on Abramovich's wealth
Sorry, I went off on one. But I'll stand by the words and yell them at the wind.
LightBug1··on Fire at Starlink site in Bulgaria after suspected sabotage in Poland
When you start acting militarily, secure your own shit militarily.
LightBug1··on Deloitte falsified documents to evade tax on Abramovich's wealth
It's relevant to every motherfucking discussion right now, and should be until that wanker and his cancerous tribe are gone.

And that should be your, and our, number one priority.

Unless you like flirting and passively sleeping next to a pseudo-fascist dictator and hoping your frog-in-a-simmering pot act will be enough to get you through this.

LightBug1··on Deloitte falsified documents to evade tax on Abramovich's wealth
Unsure why you're downvoted.

Making the relative comparison is useful in understanding what a shitshow is going on in the USA.

Back in the day, we used to think Abramovich was corrupt as fuck and very dodgy.

In 2026, I understand him to be a relative amateur ...

LightBug1··on MrBeast 'spends millions reverse engineering the algorithms on each platform'
He must have given up on me. I'm aware of him tangentially, but I've never consumed even one of his videos or whatever he does. I believe I should be studied.

Ahh, an actual admission of defeat. Kudos.

Sanctions ffs ... what a pathetic administration ...
LightBug1··on Gemini 4 Argon
They probably said the same thing about social media back in the day.

I'm sure the thinking out there, and hence investment, is all about how to tether the user to the most addictive, network-effected, incredibly deep, server-side, moat-able version of AI possible.

LightBug1··on America.gov
You can support the incredible things Google have achieved over the last couple of decades ... while also acknowledging the absolute shit shows they've been involved with.
LightBug1··on Promising discoveries about the potential for life on one of Saturn’s icy moons
In the movies.

In reality the existential crisis will be used as a means for control, exploitation, and corruption ...

c.f. USA, Israel, UAE as spring-to-mind obvious examples for hints and tips as to how this plays out.

It's also interesting that your mind goes immediately to common enemy instead of some alternative.

LightBug1··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
I'll tell you what's a supply chain risk...

The current fucking US administration.
