  • Here we go again

  • People who voted for Trump voted for Trump. Go talk to them.

    Blaming anyone else is not only an unhinged attempt to claim some sort of moral ownership of an entire bloc, it isn’t even supported by any reasonable reading of the statistics.

    This kind of obsession with whipping other people into maintaining an entrenched two-party system is exactly how America let itself spend the last 40 years getting slowly dragged to the Right in the first place.

  • Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app

    Jump

  • See this is why I’m reluctant to start listing them because I don’t want to get dragged into an interminable discussion about how hacks like https://thehackernews.com/2025/02/hackers-exploit-signals-linked-devices.html?m=1 somehow “don’t count” because it was the user’s fault, or https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/4850133017242-Twilio-Incident-What-Signal-Users-Need-to-Know doesn’t count because it didn’t include chat messages.

    The irony is I very carefully chose my words when I said “Signal-related hack” instead of “Signal hack” because I knew fanbois would show up to argue that anything short of a central database leak isn’t really a hack.

  • Current events dictate that I post this.

    Jump

  • Either they’re all ironic [] or none of them are ironic

    Textbook false dichotomy, and not how I read it at all. Setup->Punchline is the most basic joke format in existence. The whole point of a setup is you have to be on board with it before getting sideswiped by the punchline.

  • I predict yet another Signal-related hack within the month.

  • Reddit decides to remove r/all

    Jump

  • Yeah removing it is the first good decision they’ve made in years. It was a flaming garbage heap on multiple levels that bubbled the most awful stuff to the front page that was blatantly gamed by bad actors.

    Edit: are these downvotes because I’m wrong, or because people skim-read it and kneejerk reacted to “reddit did a good thing”?

  • "Being vegan is unnatural"

    Jump

  • ...and, without any sense of introspection whatsoever, doubling down instead.

  • "Being vegan is unnatural"

    Jump

  • "Is it possible I've completely missed the point? No, it must be everybody else here who's wrong!"

  • What is the term for using positive rhetoric to cover up negative actions or behavior?

    Jump

  • Spin

  • Phoebe Gates wants her $185 million AI startup to succeed with 'no ties to my privilege or my last name': 'I have a chip on my shoulder' | Fortune

    Jump

  • Yup. Price comparison extensions have been around for decades already.

  • Moving out so found one of my older archives. You can guess how old it is.

    Jump

  • Somehow it's still set in the present day, present time.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • Every time

    Jump

  • me too, it's a slightly awkwardly constructed sentence.

  • I've probably seen more naked ladies than my entire bloodline combined

    Jump

  • Magritte would like a word

  • I never see them because they aren't legally allowed on the road.

    Jump

  • yes but actually no. There's a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the "map pocket" that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That's assuming the cord hasn't fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during an accident, of course.

    The owner's manual section on "how to open the door if there's no power" spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps.

    (incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, "To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V"... it's like they're trying to be shit.)

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

    Jump

  • Newish account to promote loops

    Probably, but it seems to be an open-source fediverse community project with no VC backing, so I don't begrudge them it. Like, how else do you get fediverse projects seen if not in a fediverse discussion community, you want them to just buy Google ads instead?

  • Removed

  • Zionists these days have become a parody of themselves.

  • meanwhile on instagram

    Jump

  • A significant part of Jesus’ teachings is “don’t claim to speak on behalf of God”. Whoever made this meme is a blasphemer.

  • I don't know the reason why.

    Jump

  • Presumably at their request, or at least their approval, since it doesn’t seem to be a thing in any other country. Most products in the US are imported, don’t pass the buck. “Iran forced it on us” goes against absolutely everything else we know about US consumers.

  • AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year

    Jump

  • It's extremely unhealthy for a free society, to have too much power imbalance between the ruling classes and the people.

  • I don't know the reason why.

    Jump

  • I also thought this was a joke until I read the comments. Pistachios have always been pistachio coloured in the rest of the world.

    There's something very American about drowning a perfectly healthy natural product in brightly coloured dye.

    The phrase "purity test" was popularized by establishment Democrats only recently, as a thought-terminating cliché to shut down criticism of the party's drift towards the Right.
