  • I know what you said; all I'm saying is that your original comment didn't account for the audience well. I think both of your comments (this and the former) are great and informative, but the one I'm replying to now is much better for someone that isn't already in the know on the general concepts. I appreciate the effort you put into them both :)

  • You said a lot of stuff but I don't think any of it would really help someone who isn't on the same page as you already

  • There most certainly is a lesser of two evils. You're speaking from a position of immense privilege to claim the opposite

  • This is a really easy perspective to have from outside a concentration camp.

    I hate Democrats as much as the next informed person, but I'd much rather have political reform under a corporatist than an oligarchy

  • I've gone down this path.

    You want an archer c7 with OpenWRT. I got one for 5 dollars on marketplace, flashing it took all of 2 minutes, and it kicks ass.

  • UK secretly allows facial recognition scans of passport, immigration databases

  • They don't affect me because I'm a childless adult.

    I said slightly better, I wasn't trying to get in a pissing match. We have a huge amount of preventable tragedies, yes, but the surveillance the UK is implementing, and their curbing of free speech and protests, are two areas that would have a profound effect on how I live my life. Ergo, I feel slightly better.

    I'm sorry if I insulted your favorite government.

  • This post gives Reddit vibes where everything is black and white and the contrarian is always right

    I'm sure there are families where this exists so cleanly, but the truth for most families is probably in the middle

  • While he's in office, sure, but honestly I have hope. Seems like something that could garner support from libertarians 🤷

  • California could do so much good for the country and cement itself as the new future for the country (over the MIC infested DC) with 2 quick and easy moves:

    Revenue based fines for any violation of California law applying to all internet traffic originating from California

    A publicly provided VPN with low cost, say 2 bucks a month, offered to all citizens of the US.

    All of the sudden california is able to undermine every other states' laws AND pass meaningful legislation. I feel like the program would fund itself after a week

  • Yeah not really. I mean, you gotta think that every person that goes into the army ends up with a secret clearance.

  • Ah yes, because the left wing is famous for the proliferation of requiring a government issued ID to use the internet in ways that make them uncomfortable.

  • Virtually any place that accepts a credit card will accept debit cards, too. Actually, most debit cards can be processed as credit cards. The comment you responded to simply highlighted that this trick is much easier to pull with credit card than a debit card, as the creditor hasn't yet been repaid for the credit issued.

  • Not even; overstaying a visa is a summary offense in the US, no different than a parking ticket.

    A Republican introduced a bill last year to increase the fines and create a criminal offense for it as well, but that never even went to a vote.

  • In the USA, most power bills are the tenants' responsibility. In the USA, virtually all internet connections are the tenants' responsibility.

    The locality hosting the services could also pass a law requiring the tenants to either bear responsibilities for, or be included in, all utility related billing.

    A lot of arguments in this thread seem to be ignoring this as a solution to the legitimate problems they're raising.

  • Useless twisting of our new technology

  • There's exceptions, though; that's why we're here :)

    I totally read what you're saying. My work requires me to maintain a personal cell phone (Intune business profile) and, with any OEM implementation of a smartphone OS you're essentially paying to donate everything about you to a megacorp to sell it to another megacorp to siphon more of you're life away from you. The beauty of modern advancements, though, is that if you don't care to be within 20% of the "bleeding edge" of attention extraction and intention fabrication you can spend your time in communities like this and with tech like graphene and linux making few sacrifices, if any.

    I don't know about you, but the lemmy atmosphere feels a lot like that of early forums to me. Not quite the same, but the community aspect is more present.

    I think my stance is that technology doesn't suck, as is the case with most things; it's the unchecked and rampant abuse of a given thing.
