Hanneke Faber, CEO of Logitech wants to sell YOU a "Forever Mouse" that YOU pay... Forever!

This whole process reminded us of another concept that the crypto-bros came up with "Unstoppable-Domains" in which MayVaneDay covered this article exceptionally well. But that's not the same as "Forever" you ask? Well! there are forever domains too! Which is the same scam as Unstoppable. So, there you go!

For the TLDR crowd - Logitech wants to switch to a subscription model for their Drivers. And the reality is NOTHING is forever! Forever violates the laws of life itself. We are self-aware of this so why isn't Logitech? One day this site will be obliterated to ash. After our biological death, the servers will run out of funds and the VPS and DNS will datarot and 404 itself into the sunset. Even our beloved archival services will be attacked by politics or greed and those libraries of Alexandria will burn as well. Then hundreds of years later the next generations of humanity will look upon us as arrogant violent apes laughing at us and then in turn doing the same process all over. Prove us wrong Humanity!

If we interviewed Hanneke Faber, we're pretty darn sure she would walk out or disconnect after 5-10 minutes. Tops.

We were born into this.

As we say this, putting on our best English-men Bane impression from Batman.  To us dark-mode was a statement hearkening back to the year-2000 style hacker sites serving as a warning. Simply put, don't trust the internet. Don't trust this site, and especially don't trust any company sites that want their hand out for money.

Like Malwarebytes. A website that profits off of humanities unwillingness to educate themselves. But in this example of a banner ad; For a person who got 'schooled' by hackers in a phishing scheme. Karen over there sure is smiling! We think that this is less of a software issue and more of a management issue. Maybe Karen is "only human" for committing industrial espionage, perhaps? Perhaps Karen realized how much of a group of souless monsters she works for. So when someone called claiming to be Microsoft tech support, she said the following:

No problem. In fact, can you hold for a second? I think I can you the CEOs password he puts underneath his keyboard. Oh no! It's not a problem for me! Afterall if he followed the security protocols his IT department told him repeativly then I shouldn't find it right? Right!  Your Microsoft tech support. You should know this anyways.. Hold on... Ahh! Yes, it's "123456" Yup, he totally pulled a spaceballs on this one. - Karen"

And then she posed like this at your cubicle. Waiting for the reign of terror to fall all around her. Her schooling is certainly paying off now! Who's the monster NOW, Karen?!?!?

But we're falling a little off track. There's apparently another statement about going 'dark' on your website. That it apparently is environmentally friendly.

Hello SEO optimizers/grifters/scammers and to whom it may concern.

This post is considered a mass-response to the endless deluge of e-mails from supposed "SEO Experts" and chances are they will never read this response. Or, perhaps, for those who don't run a blog like we do. This will allow you a peak into an aspect of web design that no one frankly knows because the goal-post of getting to the 'top' of any search engine on the clear-net is perpetually moved by design. This leaves people holding onto standards that either are meaningless or are absolutely dangerous to follow.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is this supposed pseudo-science of cleaning up a website to make it more searchable for robots. Under the beleif there's 'experts' in the field that if you just open your wallets your site can bask in the glory of being on the top of the mountain of shit.

Keep in mind, a lot of these e-mails we get are so cookie-cutter template designed that even AI generated e-mails about SEO sound the same. Which makes it easier for us to answer these burning questions they may have about our site. Also understand the best way to handle these e-mails coming at you is to simply not reply to the levels where they think you as a human are dead. If everyone is a bot to them, then bots can give out Paypal payments for doing almost nothing.

To all of my friends on Tor and I2P. Be glad the network is small enough to not have to put up with this level of horse shit that the clear-net tries on the daily.

This time, YouTube is dropping the hammer on people who protect their PCs from ads.

We know we're going to eventually be blacklisted by Google. At this stage in our lives, we simply give zero fucks.

This shouldn't come as a surprise given how YouTube has increased the cost of YouTube Premium to a variable rate. In some countries, monthly fees for premium subscriptions have doubled. While other services such as Netflix are telling the subscribers they get to pay premium fees to watch commercials just like cable TV does to the average American audience. With Amazon, they arbitrarily threw the middle finger at their "Prime" customers starting next year telling them they're going to get commercials whether they wanted them or not. Which ironically misses the entire point of streaming services being a better alternative to cable television.  And why is this happening? Well! Simply put it's all about Greed.

A story about robots, Tor/I2P, and how they just don't mix.

Please don't rain hate down on the operators of this site. They're trying to stay legal in Finland and because of the sheer volume of entries received, we understand why they deployed a robotic system to assist. But as YouTube knows (and doesn't fucking care) robots have a tendency of identifying false positives as potential threats. Our site was deemed as one.
