Almost like they use buzzwords to obfuscate the real meaning of the ideas that threaten their hold on power.

Only hearing from family when they deem it important enough to pick up a phone and call or text me directly is one of the benefits of not having social media presence with non any anonymous accounts for me.

Every Russian think they’re gangster until the snow starts speaking Finnish.

Make more dumb TVs and my interest in buying a new one goes up significantly. Im actively avoiding buying a new one even though I have to furninsh a good sized living room and all I have right now is a bit small for the space. It’ll still work.

Weird that across many industries they keep adding things consumers hate but get away with it because everyone else is doing it. How do people still believe in the premise of capitalism when consumer choices range from ineffective to flat out impossible.

Have you tried making things people want to buy instead of banning things people want to buy if they’re from China?

“Website that never made a profit thinks it’s worth over 6 billion dollars. Yes US dollars.”

No way to prevent this, says only forum where this regularly happens.

Comprehensive privacy law time? Nahh just ban the Chinese EVs and pretend this doesn’t happen. Same thing as tiktok. You’ll never be protected as long as they can point to the Chinese boogyman.

Bold move. Who are they going to blame all the online privacy issues once they cant yell about the Chinese? Or are we going to start pretending everythings fine then?

Because I have to choose between either having to see him or no longer being friends with basically the only friends I still have. So it’s either I have to see his ass or I recluse. Spite is me coping with that, and it feels fine tbh. I don’t think about him unless topics like this come up or I have to see him. It’s not like it’s running my life or anything, I’m just looking for my opportunity.

Sometimes whatever it is is just out of your control anyway. Lost a great freind because a now exfriend of mine lied about me to get closer to her and date her. Intially just thought she was going through something. They, shockingly, ended up splitting but honestly I have zero interest in talking to her again if she’s willing to believe that type of things about me. Still waiting for my chance to fuck with that guys life though. I’m a petty son of a bitch if you give me the opportunity.

His truth goes marching on.

The lemmy community shows itself bare when you start talking about something you have professional experience in. Its hilarious, in a humor in despair type of way. I’ve seen it on stuff im expirenced in and this is not the first time I’ve talked about how the community dissapoints me about it. Skepticism is fine and welcome . . . If you’re able to change your mind when you’re wrong.

Consumers having rights doesn’t change the type of economic system. You could have consumer rights under feudalism and that would still be feudalism. The right to mend you own fence wouldn’t make your feudal lord any less of your feudal lord. Heck and that example is even a worker right not a consumer one.

The AIs dont want anything themselves and those who make the decisions about them want the most profit, what costs more, verifying training data or AI incest?

Isn’t one of the benefits of drones that this is a non story? Go ahead, no ones up there, best place to almost make a mistake. The pentagon can’t pass an audit and is basically given unlimited funds, diplomacy wasn’t exactly at risk here.

Why do you need a degree just to be told by the accountant and c suite employees that you’re codes safety festures are taking to long so shelf them?

Its the fox news strategy. Lie first and loudly, use the public sentiment you created, never admit wrongdoing, and if you have to, do it very very quietly and well after you scomplished your goals.
