Remember always: "The god you create is the god you deserve."

People wonder how they got to be billionaires. The answer is always, 100%, by fucking everyone over by any means possible.

WARNING! This image may trigger PINSecurity. From an analysis of 3.4m PIN codes leaked from several data breaches https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/most-common-pin-codes/

A heatmap reveals the most common 4 digit PIN numbers, visualised from the data leaked from several large data breaches. The horizontal axis plots the frequency of the first two digits, the vertical axis the second two digits. Clear (and somewhat predictable) patterns emerge from the dataset. A diagonal line of ‘heat’ from bottom left to top right reveals people choosing double digits (2323, 6868 etc). A strong horizontal line at the 19 point shows people using their birth year as a PIN code (1971, 1998 etc). And a large amount of heat in the bottom left shows how people commonly use their birthdate in a MM/DD or DD/MM format. The most common code in the set is 1234.

Question: when did #TNG stop using dinky #TOS-style plain backdrops for alien planet sets?

I recall seeing them a lot in the first and maybe second seasons, but not much after that.

I know this is the #BigotBroadcastingCorporation but I don't doubt this but CNN, CBS and Politico also confirm this.

  • Here's the SCOTUS' official writing and here's a legal blog going over it.

  • Obviously #Sotomayor dissents, alongside #Jackson...

I'm neither a #US citizen nor #trans nor #nonbinary, (and yes these things ain't necessarily correlated!) but if I were I'd certainly #GTFO and find an #immigration #lawyer to check options given the #TransGenocide that is being orchestrated.

  • Cuz legally #ForcedDetransition is just that! THIS is exactly how the #Nazis trapped Trans* and Nonbinary individuals as well as Jews and opposition figures in Germany: By refusing to issue #Passports or having them stamped with a red J.

Refusing to issue documents consistent with someone's gender identity is basically an "invisible T-Stamp" because in the age of #NakedScanners* this will get people incarcerated, denied entry or deported for "identitiy fraud".

  • Just like #Switzerland and #Sweden denied people without explicit visa entry if they had a red J stamped on their #passports!

At this point I know almost a dozen people that were "assigned #US #citzen at birth" without their explicit consent who'd literally do anything to get #denaturalized and live as a free being.

  • Unfortunately the #USA not just imposes #FATCA but also a de-facto debt peonage with an absurdly-high #RenounciationFee of U$D 2.350,-- and #RenounciationTax because in the eyes of the #US government they are considered #PayPigs!

Which begs the question if #crowdfunding for that violates the #ToS of #GoFundMe and/or other platforms.

  • #WhatsMissing is the opposite of the Thiel Fellowship aka. a fund that finances #Renounciation of #USA #citizenship (and OFC supports people attaining a different citizenship because #statelessness is *worse than homelessness!)

The never-ending "We changed our Terms of Service" emails are so tiring.

Imagine those corporations being honest…

"We've changed our Terms of Service once again, and added more conditions that are beneficial to us and unfavorable to you, but as usual they're carefully hidden in the 500 pages of lawyer language."

When I went through my #Columbo ("Murder by the Book") carnivore skull screenshots again, I realized I had completely overlooked an actual prop seen in the episode but also used on #StarTrek: this skull/chalice/dice/hourglass drawer. Does this seem familiar? 😄 🧵 1/2

It's seen in Dr. Korby's underground living quarters on Exo III in #StarTrekTOS' "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". Unlike the skull, which is just of a similar making, this is the actual prop that appeared both on #TOS in 1966 and in #Columbo in 1971. Another mystery solved. 😄 2/2

"#Bluesky's #ToS contain a "binding arbitration" waiver that forces users to surrender the right to sue Bluesky no matter how the company harms them. This is so pro-enshittificatory, it's like a landing strip for the sole use of Enshittification Airlines, which can land a 747 full of enshittfying nonsense on Bluesky's users every 10 minutes, around the clock, without worrying about any legal repercussions."

Why the reliably wonderful @pluralistic thinks that although #Bluesky improves in many important ways over legacy social media, he won't be joining the service.

TLDR: It's Bluesky's "very bad" #ToS.

🤬 Microsoft bans LibreOffice developer's account without warning, rejects appeal • Neowin

「 Recently, we reported on LibreOffice, accusing Microsoft of intentionally using complex file formats as a tactic to lock in users to Microsoft Office, hindering open source alternatives like LibreOffice.

Now, Microsoft has banned LibreOffice developer, Mike Kaganski, from using its services, citing an "activity that violates [its] Services Agreement" 」

@jbz I hope @EUCommission and others take note of this #AntiCompetitive action and will act accordingly unless #Microsoft can actually cite a valid reason.
  • After all, it is neither illegal nor bannable per law to use "competitors' services and products" and even worst-case this qualifies as "cleanroom engineering" to improve #compatibility, which is desireable for both @libreoffice / #LibreOffice and #MicrosoftOffice...

#Microsoft pulling such an #AssholeMove is inexcuseable *unless they actually evidence a serious #ToS violation they could not have resolved otherwise and that banning said user was the only possible recourse to secure their own systems and/or customers' data from a malicious actor.

Y’all. Mastodon has a new Terms of Service that’s problematic. I’m hoping and cautiously optimistic that they’ll sort it out. But for now it’s not good.

How my Firefox became a LibreWolf

New blog-post: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1065/how-my-firefox-became-a-librewolf

#firefox #librewolf #tos #webcomic

A comic strip in four panels:

Pane 1. A small, exhausted Firefox is depicted with a loud sigh, blowing out the flames on its tail and extinguishing it.

Panel 2. A strong wind causes the ashes to cover the little fox.

Panel 3.  The little fox, now completely gray and ashen, looks on with regret and disappointment, mourning the loss of its former self.

Panel 4. In the evening, under the light of a full moon, the gray fox meets a wise and welcoming wolf, who greets it with the words "Welcome here, new libre wolf!" A wolf howls at the moon in the distance, a reference to the LibreWolf logo."
