  • Surely This tech billionaire is different right

    Jump

  • It means that a little more than it means they disagree with them.

    ICE are masked jackboot thugs illegally deployed to our streets by a psychopathic rapist to punish people who don’t vote for him. If there is ever a time to resist tyranny….

    “Welcome. Let’s see what you have to say” is not an appropriate reaction to their presence.

  • When the US kidnaps your president and installs a puppet, it’s hardly “getting your country back” when the puppet plays along.

  • We beat 'em before

  • Yeah it’s wishful reduction to think it’s as simple as this.

  • I keep hearing this line about how there might not be an election. Even Russia holds elections. They’re total shams, but it’s easier to cheat on an election than to throw out your entire form of government. People still believe a little bit in the legitimacy of American elections so Trump will definitely try to steal one rather than cancel it. Once no one even gives a shit about them, then they might get canceled. But that brings me back to… places like Russia still hold them, even when everyone knows they are bunk.

  • But without them, he’s nothing. This is his personal brand now: the anti-Trump. He has to invite these guys onto his show so he can say edgy things to them.

  • Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public

    Jump

  • You are absolutely right about that. Passively detecting your location? Fuck that. We are getting into an era where bots are overwhelming and user verification is a valid topic to discuss. I think additional device permissions can be one element in that discussion. But this idea he popped off the dome is a miserable example of such.

  • Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public

    Jump

  • That’s a fair point. Reddit has been openly hostile to its own users these past several years. It might help moderate that to have another alternative on the table, even if it too is a soulless corporate enterprise.

  • 'We were tricked': How one woman lures foreign men to fight on Russia's front line

    Jump

  • “When I signed up to help the Russian war effort, I thought I’d be well behind the front lines!”

    Yeah, fuck you, Omar.

  • If you're a parent, how do you prevent your kid from watching AI slop?

    Jump

  • If you don’t show them better content, they can’t know the difference. Watch YT with them, but put on good stuff made by humans. There’s plenty of that. Also consider accounts - once they have their own account they will tumble down the shit hole that is the algorithm. If you let them use your account, they will have a better established base, and you will easily see what they are watching. If this doesn’t work for you, created a moderated, shared account that you use and populate with good algorithm juju.

  • I’m seeing posts. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have little respect for “where are all the posts?” posts. It’s complaining that everyone else isn’t doing it for you. Someone has to sit down and post those posts. Maybe for this, since you obviously care, it’s you. Instead you’re shitting on everyone else for not already having done it.

  • I CAN'T go outside without permission - is there any way I can help fight for a better world from the comfort of my bedroom?

    Jump

  • When I was in college there was a big hike in fees as the university system started having financial problems. Naturally, students protested this. There was a general air of unrest on the campus. One day I was in Poetry class and outside the windows we could hear a lot of commotion and see a protest gathering. One of the students raised his hand and asked the professor if we could have permission to go out and join. He said “I don’t recall asking authorities for permission to protest when I was a college kid in the 1960s. You can go, or not, it’s up to you.”

  • At least 12,000 killed in Iran crackdown as blackout deepens

    Jump

  • The article has this to say:

    After cross-checking information obtained from reliable sources, including the Supreme National Security Council and the presidential office, the initial estimate by the Islamic Republic’s security institutions is that at least 12,000 people were killed in this nationwide killing.

    This makes it sound like their 12k number is coming from… the government doing the killing? I’m a little confused about that. It doesn’t seem conventional for dictators to release casualty counts for their pogroms. Are they perhaps trying to send a threatening message to everyone to stay home, and puffing up that number?

  • What are you looking for, here? Posts of solidarity with the Iranian protests? Seems like you could have just made one. Be the change.

  • How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC?

    Jump

  • Since even the world’s worst dictators still hold sham elections, I conclude that there will be an election, and they will focus on how to cheat to win. If they even need to that is. This is way easier to do and conceal than canceling the election.
