  • Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault.

  • I guess we should get rid of sweet foods as well, as people can get addicted to that and it can lead to obesity.

  • Are you going to ban alcohol as well because that's a neurotoxin?

    Maybe you put down the pop science magazine for five seconds and understand that a single study, or even five studies, does not a consensus make. You sound like moms against video games or whatever the hell like it was called it back in the 2000s.

    Also, great job completely ignoring the point about non-incorporated vectors for engaging with short form videos don't have enough content for you to continuously scroll.

  • Is it so wrong to want to watch a funny video from time to time on the bus? IMO the best thing about loops, piefed or whatever is that there's so little on here that you can open your app of choice for about 30 minutes to an hour and then be done for the week.

  • I wish zoomers were anti-capitalist because they understood that the "good old days" were only "good" because of the exploitation of the global South.

  • Consumerism ahhhhh moment

    Jump

  • Yeah, no. I don't need an advertisement to inform me that consumerism being propped up by imperialism is why everything sucks

  • What desktop operating system would you recommend to the average user?

    Jump

  • Sure, but there are still plenty of people who buy MacBook Pros regardless of their actual use cases, simply because they think the laptops will last longer. Anecdotally, I've tried to stop at least three friends from making that purchase.

  • Since we were all so cool with "Eat The Rich"...

    Jump

  • There will never be a legal precedent for eliminating class "eating the rich" as long as the wealthy control the judicial system. The wealthy overwhelmingly use their wealth to influence politics and law, this can be shown simply by looking at the Oval Office.

    And no, the answer isn't just vote harder. That will require education which is controlled by, and you may have a hard time believing this, the wealthy. That doesn't mean that there aren't solutions, there are actually probably many solutions. Community action and organization is definitely one piece of the puzzle. Finding ways to educate people outside of the traditional systems (without abandoning empiricism) might be another. But pretending the state that is actively harming you and protecting the "Epstein class" isn't one of them.

  • The amount of people who spend thousands of dollars on MacBooks to just open up Safari makes me want to believe the average person could just have a ThinkPad with Mint or regular Ubuntu and be just fine. But the reality is if you run into a solvable issue on Windows or a MacBook, usually the degrees of separation from someone (friend or family member) who can solve that issue is much, much, much lower. I just seriously doubt most people can conduct the bare minimum of troubleshooting to be able to even search the internet for easy solutions. Can people learn? Absolutely! Are they going to go through the trouble? Probably not.

    But who knows, as personal computing becomes more expensive and system requirements stop people from updating. Maybe more people look to Linux as an alternative and perhaps we'll reach a critical mass where my previous statement doesn't matter.

  • Fuck ICE

    Jump

  • How is it divisive to be reminded that nine other people were killed before popular newsrooms took notice?

  • We have been calling for the abolition of DHS since 2003. Liberals are just waking up now.

    Jump

  • The racial divide is an aspect of class warfare though. Specifically in the US, so much of White America was willing to throw away/undermine the welfare and public services that they barely had for a generation just because black and brown people would get access to it too. It's wrong to just skip over that and demand solidarity.

    Personally, I think we can embrace people who are late to the game, while also holding space for people who are frustrated that it seems to take a tragedy to activate some members of the populace

  • Under communism, what incentive is there to pursue highly dangerous or specialized fields?

    Jump

  • Communism doesn't mean no money, undesirable labor will always have to be incentivized. I think most people would prefer to be incentivized with the promise of access to luxuries, higher pay, more vacation time, recognized status in the community, rather than the threat of your survival, housing, healthcare, education, etc. You would still have taxes, but critical infrastructure would be owned by the laborers and the state.

    Ideally, because there would be no individual ownership of infrastructure or the means of production. So, again ideally, the profits are equitably distributed through labor instead of shareholders. One of the goals of this kind of system would be the elimination of class. Not because people can't make more money and have more luxuries, but because everyone has the same opportunities. Whereas most of the world today you can just pay for those opportunities.

    Now, how exactly do you pull this off? Idk, other than a massive cultural shift. I'm sure someone with a reply telling me what I got wrong will have that answer.

  • "They'll deal with it", Republican lawmakers say voters are ready to accept higher costs for Trump’s agenda

    Jump

  • I don't disagree that mutual aid would benefit all those who would strike, but a general strike is never going to be a clean thing that labor pulls off unscathed. IMO Waiting until the general populace has the capital to rise up is a bad strategy because said capital is controlled by the people who we're trying to rise up against.

  • Woman Arrested Mid-Interview After Protesting Against Trump’s Venezuela Strike

    Jump

  • If you aren't a rich white man it was never free. Most of us are just more adjacent to poverty(increase cost of food and housing) and injustice(ice raids in the suburbs) because we're in an economic valley. IMO If/ win the employment number recover the median voter will forget all about this

  • AOC Slams Operation To Capture Maduro: 'It's About Oil And Regime Change'

    Jump

  • So do you really think that one Congresswoman has the power to arrest a sitting president? Hell even if you took all the progressives and what remains of the squad, do you really think those numbers are enough to pull what could only be a coup?

    Truly though, I think the reason Trump is going to get away with this and the reason Bush got away with his bullshit before is because of nonsense statements like this.

    Also there's no such thing as Congressional police. You may be trying to refer to the Capitol Police, but they can't even successfully arrest insurrectionists.

  • Not really, though it depends on what kind of controls you're trying to add/use. Samsung has its own version that operates more or less the same way. You still need to have a Samsung account. So it's that or use a third party app, or use the parental controls from your mobile provider. There may be other ways but this is what I know and what I use
