These are all the US and Chinese backdoors being finally discovered and everyone is in a panic when they should be celebrating lol Good. Bring the corporate internet down, it was better when it wasn't full of normies and post-iPhone users anyway. When the demographics skewed technical and not performative. And bring the banks down too please. I literally don't give one shit if the world burns because it'll burn cooler than this hell we're already subjected to. For once, we have a chance to enact change that isn't "just vote lmaoo i'm so smart! i'm radical chic!" so bring it on

Never wanted to uppercut somebody so bad as in 2005 when they purchased an iphone, then declared to me and everyone in earshot what a techie they are. This is a person for whom I had to uninstall incredimail almost daily, and thought that the way to send an email was to open Word, import the thing into a document then click File then click Send as Email.

I still remember the geek vs nerd facebook quiz. Gosh I forgot how iphone ushered this era of enshittification. Although, having super AI focused with the few, not sure this is a better future. Even the unabomber wrote about this.
