Forcing people to use Facebook (or other proprietary monopolistic corporations) to get updates on essential services should be illegal.
Luckily I'm offgrid and so I'm just looking as a tourist but the point stands. Grrrrrrrrrr.
As an aside, I'm part of a new co-op working on a fediverse hosting service. Part of our goal is giving public service entities (governmental or otherwise) a way to create their own fediverse presence, at a predictable cost, with no new work for existing staff.
Odd choice given the current situation there. Looks like I'm an AMD guy now (if that's still the alternative to Intel-I haven't bought a brand-new computer in ages)
@Rjdlandscapes@Niall , I think the money given to Israel comes with the caveat that it has to be spent on US weapons and military equipment - so it's really a handout to the US military-industrial complex.
Intels 'investment' in zionist Israel is likely 'guided' by the Jewish money lenders (banks) that 'invested' in Intel.
I looked at some of the laptops and computers advertised in a paper the neighbour has gifted me over the holidays,
I found myself automatically skipping anything with Intel.
@Rjdlandscapes not all. I can give you volumes from my own personal experience of how horrible they are as a corporation.
I love their engineering and products. I hate pretty much everything else.
I have a model S with all communications back to Tesla cut and I'm very happy with it.
I very rarely need to interact with Tesla and that is a good thing.
