The tax isn't the point. The point is to crash the economy so that the rich can buy up as much as possible as cheaply as possible, once more consolidating more wealth into their hands and robbing it from the rest of us. They don't care if the price of eggs, or iPhones, or any other goods are going to increase, they have the funds to wait that out, but when the cost of ownership of land, property or corporations goes down, they can buy them up and control that wealth once it recovers.

They don't care that you suffer. They just want to own all the stuff.

"Rollers, owners, dealers, stoners" was the order I was taught.

DNSNet, it's a FOSS app on F-Droid, works on pretty much all apps, as it acts like a vpn but runs entirely locally.

It's been nice being on GrapheneOS for the last couple of months. Nothing trying to listen to me, or be helpful in obtrusive ways, just a phone being a phone.

It should be a requirement to not "set aside the controversy" when taking about ZA/UM.

This annoys me to an unreasonable degree. We're watching Shameless (US) and they are constantly gesticulating with empty coffee cups and I get mad every time.

Google are killing it recently, broken installers, bricked chromecasts, ai slop masquerading as search results. Absolutely killing it.

I use Qobuz, and I like it a lot. You can easily download music for offline listening, there's a lot of high def on there, and from what information is known about how much streaming services pay back to record labels, Qobuz appears to be the biggest payer per stream.

The app is no frills, they only added auto generated playlists a year or so ago. Their recommendations are less tailored, but high quality if you're wanting to explore outside your usual tastes.

Plus, it's just music. No podcasts, no audiobooks, no games, no generative ai for some reason.

Any character voiced by Tony Jay becomes hot by the velvety nature of his voice.

So glad I made the switch to GrapheneOS, and hurridly pulling my data out of Google's services. It may take me another month or two before I'm just down to migrating the rest of my email from gmail (reckon that might take me all year) but these articles just spur me on more.

Starmer is such a weak centrist cuck.

 

Four drag queens accidentally book the wrong venue, a biker bar in the middle of nowhere. During their show the bar is attacked by vampires, so the drag queens have to team up with the bikers to survive the night.

This wonderfully camp horror comedy had us laughing throughout. There's a lot of really sweet characters, tonnes of references to classic vampire films and TV, and the drag queens are played by real life drag queens.

This needs cult status.

 

I'm still not sure I believe this is real, but loved these games as a kid, glad to be able to return to them.
