Technically, might be both

Spook, noun

3. slang (originally and chiefly U.S.). A derogatory term for a black person.

OED

is a billionaire and as far as I know awesome.

Then you don’t know.

No one gets to be a billionaire without being an exploitative greedy piece of shit at best. No one.

Having a favourite flavour of leather doesn’t make it any less self harming and counterproductive to lick.

Everything’s impossible when you don’t give a shit keep it that way for profit

name an american billionaire thats not a pos.

FTFY

What the actual fuck is wrong with the people we give power to.

Change that to “why the fuck do we have to keep picking others to have power over our own lives?” and you might start getting somewhere.

Power corrupts.

Capitalism and its electoral politics (the extra steps it has taken from feudalism, that is nothing more than theatre to appease the masses) has always existed to concentrate, and then maintain, power in the hands of a few. Once someone has such power they will never give it up willingly.

As long as there is hierarchy, there will be inequality. Which is why our system enforces hierarchy so avidly.

But Twitter is a real fuckup for him

Except it clearly fucking isn’t, it’s doing exactly what he bought it for, including convincing people like you to feel sympathy for him and his “loss”, which is equal parts hilarious and really fucking sad. You’re looking at his life from the point of view of a poor person, something he never was and never will be, yet he’s still so easily manipulated you in to feeling bad for him (and the billions he’s lost, leaving him… still the motherfucking richest person on the planet), and even fucking (think you) relate to him and the idea that he can “fail” just like you can, using you as a living breathing mouthpiece to make his life easier. Not yours.

perfect boy genius mystique

I just threw up a little in my mouth, thanks.

Thanks, that’s one race I definitely don’t keep up to date on. All billionaires need to cease to exist.

And yet, he’s still one of the what, 5 richest people on the planet?

He doesn’t give a shit, and neither should you (as nice as the schadenfreude might feel). He got something worth more to him than plain old money - an established propaganda platform, which he is using as he intended - to war monger and otherwise interfere in politics to ensure fascism progresses as fast as he can help it. The “dent” (more like a surface scratch) it put in his finances is completely invisible and irrelevant to him.

And it should be to you, too.

He is NEVER going to end up without means or power, not even fucking close, unless we take them from him, and abolish the system that encouraged and enabled him to amass them in the first place.

It is just so frustrating that people have been warning about exactly what is happening (not just with the DWP, mind), yet the general public just don’t want to hear it, the illusion of choice being so narrow makes life easy - you’re either team red or team blue (or maybe yellow or green if you’re feeling “rebellious”), and that’s all you need to know about the world (the result of being over worked, under paid, and propagandised since birth in to whatever benefits capitalism most, of course).

Step outside that box, and they become so overwhelmed by (or completely shut down to) the endless possibilities, they just don’t know how to deal with it. It’s so fucked up how well the system works at preserving itself.

And if you’re Black - get shot for “talking back”

I can understand that in some countries cops can be seen as criminals (and are behaving like criminals), but I don’t think a generality should be made. Just like a generality shouldn’t be made about people from an origin all doing the same bad thing.

ACAB, and you don’t get to compare your chosen profession to where people were born or the colour of their skin, nor try to claim victim points by pretending you are systemically oppressed and discriminated against in the same way we are (though your trying to does go to strengthen my first point).

Fuck you, pig.

Ooh, yeah, that’s a nice phone…

And the entirety of Africa is framed as nothing but both of theirs pawn and playground… 🙄

My uncle had the Nokia 9110, it was incredible for its time, and definitely contributed to me wanting a phone with a full keyboard haha

Those were such exciting phones, coming from a Nokia.

Nokia made them too! I had the N97 for a good while… Also still have it in a drawer somewhere lol

Oh yeah, I’ve had my fair share of disaster, backing up lesson learned the hard way lol

I’ll do my best to remember to update when I get around to trying the upgrade out. Thanks again!

Wow, thanks! That does look promising (to me as a lay person anyway!), I’ll have to give it a try once I’ve sorted out that extra memory I’ve been meaning to buy since my backup space is running out, and I definitely want to make sure I have a solid back up before trying anything.

Better, fair, but is it possible to upgrade an existing install? 😬

I have a lot going on right now and convenience is priority over ideal if I’m honest…

So far I’ve managed to avoid most this kind of crap with minor tweaking, but with end of life coming soon I’ve been meaning to make the switch for ages, but there are always more urgent priorities… If you don’t mind me asking, and if you know - is it still possible to switch from win10 to win10 LTSC, and if so, what does it entail (do I need a fresh install, or can I just upgrade?)?
