          But microsoft is unavoidable for work.

          I’ve worked in fintech almost 10 years and don’t recall a single windows machine, let alone a single piece of necessary windows service. Even the sales and marketing people use macs at least

          Google and AWS are much harder to with without.

          E: also just to note you can personallyboycott tech you’re forced to use by work, and even comparing about the company’s ethics at work

    For whatever reason, when I hear KOSA, it conjures up SOPA and PIPA. Feels like it’s been so long since any of these came up but I guess existential-level threats to internet content and privacy never fully die~

    I can’t wait for porn to be blurred out crotches and boobs with little stars instead of nipples. Darn!

    It was perfect! In case you are reading this in the future next couple of years, back in 2024, you just typed a few words on the search engine and you too could witness excellent quality videos of various men and women having fun with their body parts in ways that you didn’t even think were possible, and are too weak to do if you had anyone to do them with. We are talking penises, mouths, vaginas, balls and boobs and their various combinations.

    Nobody defended communities discussing illegal things, then nobody defended communities discussing questionable legal things, then nobody defended disfavored things like firearms channels/YouTubers, now it’s your turn.
