ALT Text at the top of the image says "without a profit motive, no one would be productive!" then there are four images, the first is wikipedia editors with a wiki pic.

2022 is gonna be be a year of expensive electronics.

Islamophobia is not the right word for what we are seeing today. Phobias, though irrational, still have an element of doubt, external triggers, potential cures.
The genocide calls, auctions are deliberate, doubtless hatred aided by news TV propaganda & support from the system.
and stuff like this is why the only "IoT" devices I allow on my home networks are the ones that I put together myself. and even they don't get an implicit route to the internet.
The longer I work in tech, the less I trust the #InternetOfShit
