so I try to go through the "customize my plan", which won't let me select no TV but I'm hoping I can remove it at a later spot, and it refuses to let me continue until I enter a credit card for my mobile phone account.

apparently my direct debit info is fine for TV/Internet, but it needs a CC for my mobile phone account.

I don't have a mobile phone account with them, though.

Still, I need to enter a card for the 0$

wow xfinity's site is terrible.
I'm trying to convince it to let me cancel my TV plan but keep my internet. I got through two chatbots and it gives me the option to schedule a callback. I hit that button and it says there's an error, and suggest I go look at support.

like, support for their website? not working?

i like when i make a silly post that starts doing numbers and escaping its usual orbits, the two diverging branches end up being "SF Bay Tech Whisperer. Dad. UCSB Grad. Resist" and "voted fedi's fattest macro rubber vulpix five years in a row"

It's nearly impossible to avoid Doomscrolling. Doom runs on just about anything.

when I date cis girls:

(art: DemonSkank)

The current CEO of Identity Digital (formerly Donuts Inc) named Akram Atallah, used to be the president of ICANN, the folx that “own” and “run” the internet.

Under his leadership, ICANN introduced the new generic Top Level Domain program, or new gTLD, giving the creation of a new domain ending (.com, .net, .info) a price tag of 200k USD.

Interestingly enough, the one business that jumped on this newly and artificially created market of top level domains, was Donuts Inc., whom Akram Atallah then became CEO of. Today, they own ~15% of all top level domains, as they created hundreds of shell companies to bypass the “one TLD per business” rule.

I have a list of all shell companies, public records proving they all tie back to him and Donuts Inc., and he's proudly bragging about having done this on LinkedIn so it's not really a conspiracy but known corruption.

I just remembered that I uncovered a conspiracy years ago and forgot to tell anyone beyond one news outlet that ghosted me.

Some more links, in case the previous one ”suddenly stops working”:

Perhaps a good idea might also be to share this information (that TERFs were able to blackmail the worlds biggest human rights organization to take down their factual report of anti-rights funding) to relevant wiki articles and also hint about it to our newspapers and journalists.

This is a newsworthy thing that just happened to democracy in Europe

Terf’s are really, really afraid we might see and read this major report. It documents UK based anti-trans critical organizations and their funding.

They were able to force the worlds biggest human rights organizations to pull their report down within hours from it’s release, that’s how much they don’t want the world to know.

Here it is. (Share it! Download it! Share it again!)

In engineering we say "Good, Cheap, Fast. Pick 2"'. AI is when you pick Fast twice.

Watching tech bros dream up use cases for normal people with normal lives and normal human relationships is something.

PSA: uBlock Origin's EasyList has an AI Widgets option that doesn't get turned on by default, including if you had other EasyList items selected already before it was added.

Enabling it removes a number of various AI buttons, nags, prompts, etc. across various sites.
