Gosh, they're burning billions every quarter? Fuck those nerds at meta must be having an absolutely wild time pretending to work on VR...

I’m gonna die telling fascists to eat a bag of dicks as they try to arrest me for talking shit about Israel on my own Lemmy instance. That’s the country these fascists are shaping for us. An AI-driven hellscape.

The US gov pisses away billions of their taxpayers money and buys all the low quality crap from the MIL without questions.
