Mega Rant ahead……….I hate Google, Instagram, Facebook and every other fakakta social media app. I hate Google because I keep getting these fucking login challenges when I’m trying to access my gmail account. I’ve had this fucking account for almost 30 years. I signed up when I lived in San Francisco, a stone’s throw from Silicon Valley when Google was a mere goo goo on the world stage. This is login challenge BS is something new and it never stops. I’ve yelled at Google about it, they don’t care. A while ago some asshole in Maryland or somewhere started using my email address. I still get emails from places that this moron has given my email to.
The very very early Armchairs
Things like find classmates.com where boomers go to rekindle high school relationships that were never worth anything in the first fucking place. It’s annoying. This has nothing to do with gulag’s log in challenges, I just thought I’d throw it in as well. The other thing about Google is the constant nagging about verification, such as “put in your address in case you lose access to your account” or some such bullshit. Fucking creepy Google doesn’t need to know where I live, and will never know where I live if I can help it. Tell me where you live you nosey fucks.
J Topper acting the goat
Facebook is a shit tier platform as is Instagram. Facebook is a digital graveyard for old people who have lost the will to live, and third world scamming monkeys at this point. It’s virtually worthless. They are both owned by the same clueless dweeb who sells creepy privacy invading spectacles with cameras in them. I had a Facebook account for about 20 years. One day it was mysteriously “hacked” and I couldn’t access it again without proving who I was. Like I’m gonna tell these fucks my real name and address.
20 years of contacts, posts, and videos down the drain. I’ve never gotten any of them back either. Fuck Fuckbook. Instagram or Shit-o-gram as I call it, is as annoying as fuck as well. It’s calculated to be that way.
They want you to spend as much time there as they can make you. They do this by obfuscating simple tasks and making it look like you’ve made some kind of mistake when you’re posting stuff, so you have to go back and look at it all again. They hide posts that you want to see and then blatantly tell you that you’ve seen all the latest updates from people you follow, when right in front of your eyes there’s a new post that you haven’t seen. It’s designed to fuck with people. It’s all data harvesting anyway, masquerading as a way to connect to people. It’s an insidious invasion of privacy for the most part.
This was a rare 1939 Riley saloon that I carelessly ran into the ground. Name your price, if you can even find one today.
That these companies suck goes without saying, and having said all this, their all seeing web bots are more than welcome to come across what I’ve written here and fucking choke on it for all I care. That these words could make them change their ways would be a miracle. Make it so.
I sound like I’m in a bad mood, but I’m not really. I don’t rely on these mostly malevolent entities to exist so it doesn’t affect me in the long term. We’d all be better off without the surveillance and invasion of privacy that the wonderful online experience gives us.
I almost forgot Youtube which I rely on to a certain extent to promote my music. Not a lot I can do about it at the moment, as well as Spotify (Shitify) which also gets my music out there, but at the expense of me being an indentured slave. Spotify still pays less than peanuts for music streams yet the companies coffers grow and grow. Something ain’t right there, but nobody will do anything about it. Spotify doesn’t care if AI made the song, they just want more and money for themselves and their shareholders.
I don’t agree with Trump on many things right now but he’s right about this. Gas prices however…really?
I’ve spewed and ranted a lot about all of this today, but sometimes you have to purge it out aloud to feel better. I resent the fact that these global behemoths have control over my communications, and public profile and that they treat all of like disposable units of data to be gaslight, brainwashed, harvested, bought and sold.
That’s not how it’s supposed to work. Even Google flights which is a useful tool to find cheap airfares have to put their nonsensical woke, progressive bullshit into the mix. “This flight uses -42% emissions. Avoids as much C02e as 4,261 trees absorb in a day”
Please stop talking shit about things that don’t fucking exist. Nobody other than a demented, brainwashed NPC clone cares about this bullshit. STOP FUCKING DOING IT. You a-holes aren’t interested in saving the planet, you’re interested in money and control, period.
Just fuck off. How is this even calculated? It’s horse shit.
I could probably find more things that annoy me. Maybe I’ll think of some more. It goes on all day long. Everywhere you go online is becoming a festering unfriendly shit hole. Not here though. This is a nice place. …end of rant.
Good Day
