Eh I hate Roblox it my fucking kids love it. Access to it is 100% a free speech issue.

Can’t let perverts capitalists or censorship stop the kids from having fun. Or else they win.

Phone phreaking was where the fun was. Free phone calls, messing with other people’s boxes and stuff. When it was purely electric phone lines were easy to manipulate.

That and before PayPal credit card processing took weeks.

You could fake a credit card so easy and just get services until they tried to bill it.

The same techniques for social engineering are still the most effective ones.

Computers and systems get smarter.

People actually get dumber.

Punk rockers are the resistance that’s been standing by at the ready the whole time.

Punk rock attitude, DIY mentality, and general nonconformity are the tools we’ll need to stand up to fascism. They’re also the classic attributes of the “American individual” (not sure why this is no longer in vogue)

Some punk rockers seem like “normies” until they’re radicalizing everyone at your dinner party, reciting lyrics from propagandhi songs as conversation starters.

Love jello love bad religion love a million shitty bands that only produce one or two songs or records too.

It’s the ocean of punk rock I love to swim in.

Knowing there’s millions of folks who think like me all over the world helps keep me sane.

Finding random songs I like by random bands with very few plays is my drug of choice

But punk rock is a phase I’m sure I’ll grow out of it by the time I reach my 20s … 30s… 40s… 50s?

I’ll probably die in a nofx shirt.

tangentially related.

Bingo. Not in the industry. I get what you’re saying and yeah I picked up gigs while slinging guitars and amps but it is not a job in “the business”. And working there they will try to keep you from getting one that would mean you depart them.

Since music biz jobs are often on the road.

Yeah the difference is

MI sales is not “the music industry”

Yet guitar center pretends it is.

Pays their employees minimum wage

Harvests their love for music and their skill to sell overpriced low quality gear

A culture of lying and swindling basically.

A horrible little microcosm of late stage capitalism all driven by their minimum wage employees believing the lie that they are “working in the music industry”

A lot of real big companies run scams on their employees. Take Herbalife for example. Or amway. Or guitar center

That’s not a job that’s a scam

I bet it’s fucking awesome.

Some idiot says “this is how things work” (and explains things in a way that aren’t true at all)

And then I’d be like “yeah that’s good enough for me.”

And I’d watch sports and not be worrying all the time.

As it is, I unfortunately see through most bullshit and realize im surrounded by people who don’t.

I am the scientist at the beginning of every disaster movie. Ignored until it is too late. Then blamed.

Because “djdbdbdj fjdjdnd dhhsbdhdjdnd” makes even less sense than reductively explaining that a king or queen is a fascist by definition. They can remove your head if they dislike your opinions.

Monarchism is fascism.

One person making all the decisions is fascism.

The sands of time have claimed them.

Or they’re already in El Salvador.

Lemmy is the perfect application for the fediverse.

Mastodon is supposed to replace twitter.

Twitter was stupid easy. That was the appeal.

Mastodon is slightly harder than twitter to understand and use.

Computers are a democratizing force of course they’re trying to limit access to them

Welcome to the ad free paradise.

Here billionaires are the same as all of us, meaningless lol

You should probably watch willow. It’s not terrible. Val kilmer with a sword.

For his name I say data but when talking about data I say data but when I say database I say data and when I watch 1986’s Willow with Warwick Davis I say data

Good software is abstracted and free.

Applying it to a business effectively is where the money gets made ethically.
