  • I'm not sure there's any situation where trying to appeal to Trump won't end in conceding to Russia. For God's sake, this admin just ordered all cyber operations in relation to Russia to cease. There is no low they won't stoop to. Any time spent trying to make Trump see the light is time wasted where in the end Trump will try to make you give up everything.

    I'm honestly surprised Trump didn't try to have Zelensky arrested and deported to Russia.

  • Meanwhile I'm over here somehow pulling the fool over and over

  • The issue there is Trump already won the election. I'm not sure enough people would turn on Vance if he had some legitimate claim to power

  • For me this is two posts down from an article about a bunch of probationary employees at NOAA getting fired. So maybe they're not fired. Or maybe they'll come into work and just won't get paid later. Or, or, or... who knows.

  • it literally happened to me but ok

  • I have a feeling that AI will be cancelled pretty quick.

    I thought so too, but ChatGPT was released more than 2 years ago and people still seem to give its "opinion" weight...

  • I did a quick install of windows (last year I think?) and it sorted everything into a onedrive folder. documents, pictures, videos, downloads, all that stuff, looked normal from the file explorer, but was sneakily placed into a onedrive folder. it went something like c:/users/me/onedrive/. didn't realize what it had done until like 2 days later and it gave me some popup about not being able to upload. i don't even have a onedrive account; it just decided that was how it should be done. no idea what, if anything, it actually uploaded.

    now if i have to install windows i have a script from privacy.sexy i run before doing anything else. havent had that happen again yet. still, probably best to assume anything on a windows machine is not private.

  • I'm just surprised it seems to actually be in c/users instead of a OneDrive folder

  • It definitely depends. I was at one of the protests on the 17th and there were several of us wearing gear and open carrying.

  • Am I missing something? 320/3203 is more like 10%

  • It's still oddly favorable for them to call it a "cost cutting" team. Call it "Musk's team." Or "DOGE." Absolutely no reason for them to talk it up like that in the headline.

  • Make sure you microwave the can first

  • It's not fascist to oppose intolerance. You are attacking people's core identities; their right to exist. It's not an attack on you when people defend themselves from you. We're not discussing our favorite movies here. Some other examples of harmful lies:

    "People with dark skin are dumb"

    "Women are too emotional to make their own decisions"

    "Poor people don't deserve clean air, water and food"

    "Being queer is a mental disorder"

    "Many children grow out of gender identity disorder once they reach a certain age" (seriously, this is totally made up. Less than 5% of people do this and many of those only detransition because of the hate they encounter)

    Climate change is hotly contested too. That doesn't mean the people contesting it have any valid points. People who are actually invested in evidence-based research, not those trying to cobble together post-hoc justification for their fear, have a general consensus that giving children a basic understanding of what is and isn't sexually appropriate makes them much safer. And if a child asks whether it's okay to like either gender, it's easy to simply answer "yes."

  • When that opinion is deeply harmful, is directly contrary to all scientific evidence, results in actual groomers (not trans people) being able to take advantage of ignorance, and is generally used by bigots as a wedge to repress sexual education well beyond teen years--yeah this is the response you get

  • Some of it is definitely bots, but don't discount the human factor either. Russia had an entire branch of the military dedicated to trolling the Internet at least as far back as 2015. Something tells me that hasn't gotten smaller since then. No doubt they work in tandem with bots as well, constantly editing their output, maybe even making posts from the same accounts.

    The fediverse may be small compared to the behemoths, but I don't think we're so small as to be ignored.

  • Sure, they'll privatize what they can, but they need a way to keep those corporate entities in line. They don't want to give up their own power, and their power lies in their position in government. If they go too far, they risk being thrown under the bus themselves. They'll need to leave the treasury intact, at least, along with some kind of enforcement arm. Maybe we'll see some drastic restructuring of the military soon.

  • Well, not all of the government. Just the parts that could hold them accountable for anything they do.

  • That dude posts so much so frequently, it's extremely fishy

  • ... Yeah, Uber eats is another way people with problems like this get taken advantage of. Weird that you feel the need to be snarky about it
