  • This is Lemmy... that's not at all difficult. This platform is mostly furries, communists, and Linux users... as well as the mythical furry communist Linux user.

  • I haven't read the legislation, but I get the thrust of it. They want to standardize cellular devices and also cut down on electronic waste. If it's specifically for cellular devices, then no it won't affect TI products. If it's more generally to cut back on electronic waste, then yes it will affect them.

  • Heard someone say that their grandparents who left the USSR during the collapse in the early 90's told them something along the lines of "not everything the Soviet government promised us about communism was true, but everything they told us about capitalism is true."

  • Well, most MAGA folks want a return to 1950's America and you don't get more 1950's America than a polio outbreak.

  • Why are we still fighting smartphone bloatware in 2025?

    Jump

  • I mean, yeah, but there's also manufacturer bloatware. This model year, Samsung in particular has outdone themselves with the implementation of their AI chatbot nearly zero percent of their customer base wanted.

  • When I was a kid, I played Civ 3... so I guess, according to cable news, I'd be seen as a genocidal maniac on par with Hitler.

  • Exclusive: Trump may cancel US Postal Service electric mail truck contract, sources say

  • Damn, literacy tests... now there's a policy the Democrats haven't championed since Jim Crow. I remember Rush Limbaugh going on a scree about us "needing" to bring back those in the 1990's. Are there any other policies from one of the darkest periods of American history you would also like to go back to? Perhaps the reimplementation of poll taxes or just force marching some Native Americans into the desert?

  • As I said, they may only be voting for the "team" about which they got excited and not much else. There not dumb, the American political system has set about keeping voters as passive as is possible for the purposes of exploiting them. Trump is just the latest (and most naked) bit of exploitation.

  • I know it's frustrating as hell, but lashing out at voters isn't the answer. They're not dumb, they're just not engaged. The system of American politics keeps them disengaged on purpose.

  • The fact is that you're politically engaged and the average voter is not.

    They're not dumb or anything, but politics and economics are not things for which they look past their noses. Politics and economics are complex topics and that's why Trump's antics and tactics work so well. He stays in the headlines and gets people feeling like they're part of a team. For a similar example, loads of folks don't pay attention to NFL players, teams, and coaches during the off season... but once games start happening, allegiances are taken. Even if a neighboring or different franchise might have a better chance of winning (thus make you feel like a winner by proxy) you might still just cheer on the team that first caught your attention/is in your geographic area. People don't want a sermon and they definitely don't want to be scolded... they want to be on a winning team regardless of the consequences of that choice (leopards eating faces, etc, etc).

  • More EVs means lower gas prices.

    This drives up gas prices.

    I know, it's almost as though the multinational oil corporations and their shareholders who backed all three of Trump's campaigns want higher oil and gas prices for some reason... what could that be?
