They’re being petulant and looking to punish their customers. They’re hoping the next time the “Gub” tries to regulate them people will remember rates went up after and push back on government regulation.

They make money hand over fist. How DARE someone “take something from them” when they’re owed everything!

Yup. It was the same enshittification process. “Subscribe to cable. We don’t have commercials!” Then a few years later, “Guess what?!? You’re getting commercials!”

Cable is dead! Long live Cable!

The order states that Giuliani must “desist and refrain from practicing law in any form,” including “giving to another an opinion as to the law or its application or any advice”

Wow. Impressive. There goes the Fox News gigs.

How does one set up such a filter?

Didn’t you hear about that about that wind turbine that exploded and spread wind all over a dozen farmer’s fields? /s

From the article, it sounds like the HPV vaccine would help prevent these penile cancers.
Refresh my memory… weren’t Republicans up in arms trying to prevent their children from getting the HPV vaccine?

Nobody’s gonna tell us we have to wash our hands before handling other people’s food!

I forgot the comedian’s name, but he had a bit about Confederate flags in the south. He said he found them useful because they told him which places he should avoid. That way he didn’t waste time expecting them to act normal.

It’s self-labeling… unfortunately similar to nutcases flying American flags on pickup trucks.

I fully expect that when they’ve run out of culture war ideas, current Republicans will start demanding that cars of a certain color can only park in certain spots or drive in certain lanes.

Somehow wearing masks became political.

It was Trump.

Yup. It’s the same fucked-up psychology corps use for their customers. Like running ads for super discounts for new customers. Existing customers that have never missed a payment? Fuck-em. Instead of giving 1% “thank you” for good customers, corps would rather lose the good customers and pay a premium to find new ones.

So it goes.

Yeah, FaceTime. But how often do people use it in practice?

Good point about Zoom. Business clearly like Zoom for meetings, but big business is still hammering BTO hard. Will Zoom be marginalized when they finally force in-person meetings?

Also, the last few companies I worked for that did Zoom meetings, everyone kept their cameras off.

Why does this feel like another “voice assistant” that we’re supposed to talk to all day?

If we worked from home, maaaayyybe voice control could be a thing once it’s 100%? But Boss Man wants us back at work. Are we really going to be a open-office with everyone talking to their computer like some sort of crypto bro boiler room?

It’s sorta like the “video phone” that everyone was dying to have for decades. We finally got it and everyone went “meh”. A few grandparents use it to talk to their grandkids. Hell, most of the current generations don’t even use phones anymore.

It’s one more technology that’s being pushed out before it’s baked and will likely be only really useful in niche applications. Really fucking good for those niche applications, but just too expensive and awkward for anyone else.
