I was tired of paying #Woolies 95 cents per red, washed #potato & receiving #spuds the size of a squash ball.
So the last shop I purchased Woolworths Red Washed Potatoes Bag 2kg.
I opened the bag today. The bagged red, washed potatoes are smaller than a ping pong ball! WTF!
They are so small that my arthritic hands can’t peel them.
It’s not right. #RippedOff! #Woolworths

I wanna know where my giant ferris wheel is. 15 years ago Councilor Doug Ford promised us the world's biggest ferris wheel on the waterfront. Where's my wheel Doug? -

I wonder how many of the Tas Liberal’s election promises were *not* prefaced with “a majority Liberal government“?
My guess: zero.
Hence: no “stability clause”, no “Child and Family Learning Centres” and NO CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN.

I was part of Anjali4bc campaign & it was the first time in my life I'd registered with any political party. I'd hoped for a real challenge to #StatusQuo . I asked for refund & cancelled my membership. I felt #RippedOff with not being given the chance to vote for new party leader. I'd already felt distrustful of Gov't before this undemocratic hijacking by #BCNDP elites. Made me drop all trust in #BCgovernment - esp. #NewDeathParty #CareerPoliticians 👎

I have seen the greatest minds of my generation copied, co-opted, ripped off, written over, memified, stolen, and misapplied whenever they put their best efforts into the work they post on the internet.
I have no illusions that my own work has become grist for the mill. I’ve seen it. Most of my readers are robots. They steal and repost without attribution. They hotlink and use up my bandwidth allowance. They feed my words into their models as training sets, without permission.
It is no wonder that my creative output has stalled. I share, hoping to make connection and find love and appreciation. To increase my own social capital. It’s why I got into making music. It’s why I learned web design. It’s why I write. It’s why I draw.
But I don’t. Not anymore. It’s a zero-sum game now, for me at least. Creativity was my bread and oil. But now it’s an input to the machine. Original art is now available at the push of a button. And I can’t help but feel culpable just by putting my best out there and making it available to all those voracious vacuum cleaners. I can’t control the bots or influence their masters.
Art is now ephemeral and cheap, because the economy of art is in a race to the bottom. Anybody hoping to make a living from it risks starvation. And I can’t help but feel my generation made this happen, one because generative art is an interesting problem to solve, and two that our own works just fed the grinder.
The fully automated future is just fucked.

The Libretro Team are being RIPPED OFF.
They work on Libretro: a simple API that allows creation of games and emulators, RetroArch which is a frontend for emulators, game engines, media players and Lakka that turning a computer into a retro-gaming console.
Companies just take the OPEN SOURCE emulators, bundle with some cheap hardware and sell it. Without contributing ANYTHING back in some way.
Please read more through the link.
