Let's review your points:
-
Fictional non-existent "small tech" companies might, in your imagination, run afoul of the law, stopping them from becoming "big tech" and that's a bad thing for some reason.
-
Literally any and every single law imaginable is completely invalid on the entire sole basis of any compliance with law being "licking boots".
Therefore we can put 1+1 together and come up with you genuinely, unironically, literally arguing that a tech company should be free to do anything they want, including stealing your credit card information and selling it, because "any enforcement against things like that would be funding importing infinite illegal Muslims".
That's about right.
You will notice I didn't end 'that's about right' with a question mark, because it's not a question, that's the definite conclusion and nothing you write, ever, will change that. If you have a problem with that, you should maybe think before writing such incredibly stupid fucking shit such as:
- If a government fines a company for breaking a law, it's invalid because it's spent to "import Muslims".
- If any law anywhere at all ever exists, any compliance with it is "licking boots".
- The stupider and poorer you are ("muh compliance department") the more you should be allowed to break laws.
lmao what else is there to say. I genuinely cannot imagine why nobody on the planet takes retards like you seriously at all. Libertarians are so fucking stupid it's unreal.
Guess what, OSHA regulations don't fucking change just because you're a disgusting retarded obese worthless stupid semi-literate redneck who doesn't have his own inspectors and compliance office. You're still subject to the same standards and expectations. If you can't manage that, then lose your business and die homeless, idiot.
Tech companies built their revenue streams on being thieving little secretive shits. It's a business model built on amoral, repulsive practices. Any "small tech" that is attempting to partake deserves to be destroyed just as much as "big tech" doing the same thing does.
"Waaah but how will my business survive if I can't launder your data to hackers without your knowledge and consent?!?!" - Data brokering should be 100% illegal with decade-long prison sentences for engaging in it, including buying the data.
All your little faggy 'small tech' companies are artificially propped up by imaginary Venture Capitalist predatory investments anyway. Literally why should I care? That's how fake and gay the entire industry is.
It exists so an army of bureaucrats in Brussels can get a pat on the back every time a cookie sneaks through without a pop-up window because it means a couple more million Euros to spend on Mohammed.
Design your websites without being insidious evil little fucks installing secret bullshit without my consent, then. Come up with a business model that doesn't revolve around being a filthy little perverted data pirate tracking every movement of my mouse so you can sell it to Indian scammers. Is fingerprinting my browser and computer information so you can manipulate the prices I pay for an airline ticket when I come back actually necessary? No, that's fucking twisted and evil.
A story just broke where Instacart mines demographic information to specifically charge White people more money.
If you can't accomplish those things, fucking die in prison, I literally do not care. The entire who's-who of tech presidents, CEOs, directors, etc. is literally a list of people whose complete liquidation would be doing the world a favor.
Literally who the fuck are you defending here? The guys that are demanding infinite H1B imports?
Won't someone think of the poor tech companies?
The GDPR is a massive package of privacy protections. Tech companies cried about it for a reason and not because it was 'poor little us', it was because it shut off their revenue stream of monetizing "free" customer data.
The entire reason for the cookies opt-out we have now is because of the EU. Wow, how terrible, making websites tell you what bullshit they're secretly installing on your computer without your knowledge and consent. How awful! Someone fetch my fainting couch!
California has the CCPA/CPRA which gives legal enforcement for customers wanting tech companies to fuck off and not monetize their data.
Article 17 of the GDPR forces tech companies to delete all your personal data upon request.
Literally fuck right off to hell with your shitty defense of 'big tech'. How many of those poor wittle trillionaire companies have gone out of business because of "fines to subsidize their failing welfare state"?
Oh right, literally fucking zero have. They have more money than ever before. So fuck them. These companies are shit and offer nothing of value but fake make-work nonsense to prop up fake economies with business that produce nothing. If Europe wants to liquidate them into nothingness, why should I care? A shitty evil government vs. shitty evil corporations and you think I'm gonna root for winners there?
Those drives are just racks/arrays of ~2TB storage. The 24 TB HDD has 10 2TB platters in it.
I quit being an accelerationist when I realized accelerationism requires intent and the right has zero intent of doing anything. So basically we accelerate in to civil war and the right gets assfucked by the left.
This subsequently changed my opinion on the second amendment too, but that also tied in to how tired I got of listening to "SHAEL NAWT B ENFRINJD YEEHAW" from rednecks who subsequently militantly adhere to 922(r) when it comes to US-made parts on their AK, and are terrified of anyone even talking about extralegal gun content.
When the ATF brace ban dropped in 2023, I pointed out a simple legal fact: Under the NFA (26 USC sec 5861), possessing an unregistered SBR carries the exact same penalties as possessing an unregistered machine gun, up to 10 years and $250k fine. Machine guns have ZERO barrel length requirement in their definition. So if you're already "breaking the law" by keeping your braced pistol (which ATF said made it an illegal SBR), you might as well slap a real stock on it and drop in an autosear. The crime doesn't get worse, it's the same felony under the same section. It's literally all one big NFA bucket.
If you're a true "shall not be infringed" type, then the ban shouldn't have fazed you at all. Why comply with registering or removing the brace when the downside is identical to going full send?
Instead Arfcom banned me for being a "glowie" and the thread nuked. Meanwhile everyone was whining about the rule like it was the end of the world, but god forbid anyone mentions actually ignoring a law you have almost zero chance of getting caught breaking unless you are in the process of a crime with the guns in your possession.
They're complete cucks. Every conservative owns guns to show off how rich and cool they are first and foremost, the exact same reason they drive fucking gay trucks and wear Oakleys while being proud of how there's no scratches in the truck bed. It's all just status symbol peacocking with them.
All politicians fall in to four categories on this.
-
Retarded boomers who don't understand dick shit and therefore cannot be counted on to do anything.
-
Those having their pockets filled with lobbyist shekels.
-
Political operatives who have a weaponized interest in the outcome.
-
"What are you complaining about? Line go up!!!"
Literally nobody cares otherwise. Europe is fucked up but at least they have some major legislation in place to protect consumers, like the GDPR.
Or basic bitch software like mod loaders coming in hot with 1.4 GB installs because they're made by faggots on SDKs who have to bundle the entire fucking thing.
I had one crisis where I couldn't figure out where my C: drive space went, turns out I had to install some Python SDK and unbeknownst to me the Python SDK downloader required some fucking insane 20GB piece of shit software bundle.
The thing is, hard drive space has NOT increased. HDDs reached 2TB and basically stopped. SSDs reach 4TB now and there's not much larger. And not much matters in that regard anyway because only specialist boards support more than one or two m.2 connections.
Pass a law that has a 'size tax' where every GB of your install comes with a tax the developer has to pay and watch these sizes shrink to reasonable levels.
My computer is from 2017 and is beginning to show cracks... the occasional hardware bluescreen, odd slowdowns, sometimes it won't wake up from sleep, POST takes a long time, and for sure the GPU can't run anything modern. I need a new one. And oh boy what a great time to have already bought most all of the parts except the GPU and RAM...
I love how I've never installed a game on my phone but it has like 20 games installed and new ones appear with every update.
I wish we had a government who gave a shit about us and made it a fucking crime to install anything on my device without my explicit permission. That includes any updates. If I say 'no updates' then that's it. Besides Windows, that would apply to Steam.
That's a market that has needed to die for everyone's best interest.
We don't have an affordability problem, we have a spending problem. People buying the latest greatest phone non-stop is why nobody has money.
My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Before that was an S7. And the only reason I upgraded from the S7 is because the S7 screen developed a tiny crack and the OLEDs began to decay and fail, and the battery had gone long enough that it couldn't keep up without two charges a day. Plus it wasn't compatible with 5G. Also, the camera on the S20 Ultra was (and still is) extremely good, the S7 was trash.
In that case I had objective reasons for upgrading.
Ask someone who just bought the latest iPhone what objectively makes it better than last year's model and they'll just stare at you dimly and say 'it's better cuz number go up'.
To be fair, the cloud can't do fuck-all without RAM in the end-user machine.
You can argue against GPUs with those gay 'shadowplay' or whatever the fuck that stream games with horrendous unplayable latency, but fat RAM is still needed in even a cloud machine because you have to cache all that bullshit.
It's why Chromebooks and bargain tablets are unusable even when you do nothing with them.
The fact that like four companies can literally just buy the entire fucking market is why I will never respect capitalism. I'm no Marxist, I respect the value of what the free market can offer, but I'm for heavily regulated markets. There doesn't have to be rhyme or reason, literally just someone saying 'nah, you can't do that'. "Hey your acquisition will negatively impact the market for more than 20% of consumers, so we're just going to tell you 'no' and you can't do shit about it."
I'm old enough to remember a time Microsoft was called a 'monopoly' because they simply included Internet Explorer with Windows.
Now look at the fucked world of big business today.
So basically PC gaming is dead, and PC manufacturers killed it.
Not that that is a new observation considering Nvidia's clear hatred for consumers with their pricing for the last four years.
He isn't and he didn't and he did not.
Talcum X himself? I thought he was dead.
While I wouldn't be surprised the source for this is "trust me bro, the thing you're desperate to believe is totally what happened. Thank you for the click shekels".
Anyone on the right ever claiming they "personally verified " anything is lying. For one 90% of your favorite followers are Pajeets or bots. The other 10% are too dysfunctional and retarded to leave their homes and don't have any friends, much less "sources".
Jack Posibic claimed for a decade that he had all these "insiders" in the DNC leaking to him. It was never true but all you have to do is be comfortable lying and idiots desperate for validation will believe anything.
It's wild that a screenshot of text is what makes people believe legitimacy.
EDIT: That account is literally a shitlib communist.

Which would immediately result in a massive American involvement, so "I don't want to die for Israel" is not actually your reason.
Also, the "Samson Option", if it's true, essentially means Israel fires their missiles across the entire world, including the US, so you're going to die for Israel anyway with this option.
There's better paths forward than you just getting a chance to blow your load for a few seconds before something worse unfolds.
After Iran is blown up where do you think all the refugees will be headed?
How does us getting involved or not change anything about that? Israel began striking them a week ago without American involvement, do you think that would change this hypothetical of yours at all? The US blew up a mountain. How many refugees are inside the mountain?
A single sortie is hardly "involved".
Should we arm up to genocide all the Arabs now?
The ones who continue to chimp out like stone-age cavemen? Probably.
You're the one who wanted to moan about the government. OSHA is the government. You sound like a bootlick, wearing steel toed boots.
