Something that radicalised me was learning that the "carbon footprint" concept was popularised by the fossil fuel industry to shift public focus on climate change towards individual consumers n their lifestyle instead of at the corporations that are knowingly destroying the earth

They are.

This reminds me of one of the saddest stories on the internet, the years long effort to offer 25 million books, including many thought long gone, for free for every person, available at every library.

They got sued into oblivion, and it’s dead on a server.

It's completely unnecessary to destroy books when machines like this exist.

This book scanner by Treventus for example, can scan fragile books without destroying it.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

Let me tell you about the time Sony put malware on 22 million music CDs.

Sony the corporation, on purpose.

2005. you buy a CD at a music store. you get home. you put it in your computer. Windows autorun kicks in.

Sony's software silently installs a rootkit on your system. It hides itself using the same techniques professional malware uses to evade detection. it runs constantly in the background. it phones home to Sony with information about what you're listening to.

and it cannot be uninstalled.

The removal tool Sony eventually released to fix it required your email address and installed additional software that introduced further vulnerabilities. the fix was worse than the rootkit.

A security researcher named Mark Russinovich found it on Halloween 2005. published his findings. the internet erupted.

Sony's President of Global Digital Business responded: "most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"

things then got worse:
other malware authors discovered that anything hidden using Sony's rootkit technique became invisible to antivirus software too. they started hiding their own malware inside the same hidden directory. Sony had accidentally created the perfect malware concealment system and shipped it to 22 million people.

50 artists had CDs with the rootkit. Celine Dion. Neil Diamond. Santana. none of them knew.

Van Zant's album that started the whole investigation ranked 887 on Amazon. after reviews warned about the rootkit it dropped to 25,802 in three weeks.

Sony recalled the CDs. settled with the FTC. paid millions. Mark Russinovich became CTO of Microsoft Azure.

the rootkit is the reason we now consider autorun a security risk.

Sony shipped malware to protect music.

the malware protected nothing.

the music got pirated anyway.

[Tomokocchi @itsTomokocchi]

There are too many people in the replies going "he couldn't have cared that much if he hasn't played it in ten years." It doesn't matter if it's ten years or ten days, you should be able to access the games you paid for, you bootlickers.

U.S. Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. A federal judge ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the unredacted documents. The DOJ has refused to hand over Epstein files after a judge's order. The deadline was July 2, 2026.

As someone works in human rights, I’ve never seen anything like the Epstein files in my 15-year career. There are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men who

Raped
Cannibalized
Trafficked
Filmed
Terrorized
Tortured
Murdered
13, 14, 15 year children!

Remember: this is a minority of the files. This's just what they were willing to release.

Not a single arrest or investigation. ZERO.

We called on the U.S. Department of Justice to hand over the full Epstein files to the UN Special Rapporteurs and UN independent committees for investigations, as this is an international case of crimes against humanity. But the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN's top human rights official didn't even care to open an investigation or listen to our call for the DoJ, nor utter a single word regarding the largest human trafficking network in modern history.

Epstein pedophiles are investigating Epstein files. We wonder why nobody arrested. Jeffery Epstein has every major politicians and billionaires on video doing something terrible to a child or to multiple people.

THOUSANDS have been arrested for criticizing Zionism. THOUSANDS have been arrested for social media posts. ZERO have been arrested for raping children.

The Epstein files is never really about just a "list." It is about children raped by powerful men, and a system that let them get away with it.

The bottom line here is the world system has become so corrupt that the time has come I think to clean the crap out of the stables and start over.

The Epstein files is about protecting children. There's no greater cause. If people can't unite over children being raped and abused there's no hope for humanity.

I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.

“If they’re producing more than any human can consume what do you need money for?”

Weird how we produce more food, right now, than people can consume. Yet people still starve in the streets. Surplus is destroyed rather than distributed.

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

18 months. $5 trillion fucking dollars in 18 months. And we still don't have healthcare. And they gutted education. And food assistance. And food safety, and clean air, and clean water. And cut 300k federal jobs. Where the actual fuck is that new spending actually going?

Imagine announcing you’re going fully digital and while the world still hates you for it, your platform goes down for hours… rendering all digital games useless 😭

[Tak @TakGoUp]

No games cited.
No data refered to.
No trusted sources.
Not even 7 mainstream games have even fucking come out this year.
Comes after Sony backlash is getting so strong even developers are telling them to fuck off.
Fake news. Didn't even try to make it convincing.
