    It was made by the creator of ente which is a free (5 GB) open source alternative to Google Photos. There are paid plans for more storage.

    The creator was a Google developer who left after he found out Google was helping the US military train drones with AI.





  • Bill Gates’ net worth has grown substantially despite his philanthropy, rising from $126.8 billion in early 2023 to $156 billion in December 2024.

    Regarding COVID-19 vaccines, Gates actively opposed patent waivers and influenced Oxford University to privatize its vaccine through AstraZeneca rather than keep it open-source. He pushed for maintaining intellectual property rights through COVAX, despite public funding supporting vaccine development.

    Not a good guy by any metric.



  • American culture magnifies it.

    Pickup trucks have evolved from work vehicles into powerful status symbols in American culture. While 75% of truck owners rarely or never use them for towing, they purchase these vehicles as symbols of success, masculinity, and lifestyle choice. In urban and suburban areas, professionals spend $70,000+ on trucks as alternatives to luxury cars, particularly in Southern states where they represent wealth and power. The trend continues growing, with trucks now accounting for 20% of U.S. vehicle sales. Despite minimal towing usage, truck owners display the highest vehicle loyalty rate, with nearly 80% choosing another truck when replacing their current one.

    Meanwhile China is slowly working towards global dominance in the EV space which we all know is the future.

    The American empire is in that stage of decay where the men are actively lying to themselves about their greatness. The whole manosphere (which originated in the US) is based on that premise.

    As they feel themselves sliding further and further into the periphery of relevance, they’ll elect increasingly fascist leaders to try and reassert their dominance, only to be swindled by those they put into power.

    It’s all downhill from here.


  • 80% of Latinos are citizens and those that voted must hold citizenship. Expressing shaudenfraude over the possibility of denaturalization is a level of capitulation so profound it makes it feel as if some of our liberal brethren are invertebrates.

    White liberals taking joy in the fact that they and their families can have freedom of choice reinforces age old racial hierarchies. Yes, your uncle might be a racist, sexist, narcissist, but no one is going to question their citizenship over it.

    Meanwhile, PoC must vote Democrat and if they don’t, their white liberal compatriots will applaud when they’re put in cages and extricated from the country. The racial hierarchy is reinforced when PoC are not granted agency.

    They must vote the way I think is right. Otherwise, I will join hands with my regressive conservative kin and shamelessly capitulate as we take glee in the racial purification of America.

    Do you all even believe in what you say you believe in? If these are our allies, who needs enemies?
