They are getting a huge propaganda push on every advertisment avenue. TV, Hulu,YouTube,TikTok. If you can pay for reach, you’re getting Israeli propaganda aimed towards Americans

Insurance companies will love the new discrimination machine, best not think about how it handles edge cases /s

This sort of AI use should be banned outside of a research context.

I like the idea of having a few OP abilities, but having them require non-trivial preparation within an encounter. E.g. “charging” for several turns without moving or taking damage.

All while there are fewer and fewer alternative phramacies in the US. Wish the workers the best

Imagine having the time and resources to be such a shit in this way. The main thing is don’t be a transphobe, but then a substantial secondary thing is get a life.

Unfortunately we need more militantly anti-white-supremacy institutions to make a dent in the problem, and what we get is an occasional report acknowledging the issue and candle vigils to ‘raise awareness’.

I find it funny that Lenin, love him or hate him, had the definitive take on The Economist 100 years ago.

Instead of “people are too lazy”, can we acknowledge how unnecessarily difficult it is to vote?

You dismiss gerrymandering, but we can’t exactly vote in a district we’re not a part of, or rely on convincing the biggest supporters to flip their politics.

Meanwhile, mostly targeting minorities, voting is made overly complex with people waiting for hours after work to be told they need a document or didn’t register correctly.

No wonder only retirees in affluent areas vote, they’re the only ones not jumping through hoops to do it. We need voting to be handled federally, with universal registration and mail in voting. Election day should be a holiday, and the polls should be open for a week.

THEN we can complain about people being too lazy.

And NYC is wildly over-policed.

I swear, some people have never met a societal problem they didn’t want to throw a cop at. Meanwhile we have more cops and prisoners per Capita than most of the world, funny how that works…

removing 1000 of the 2640 billionaires in a single project would be the most blessed timeline

To be more precise it is anti-US-imperialism and hegemony, which itself is a fine sentiment but when you’re willing to let any right wing dictator lead that fight you’ve really lost any credibility as a leftist.

Nuclear (+ renewables) powering walkable cities ftw.

Not even just for the climate, we’d probably cut asthma and a dozen cancer rates with the clean air.

They also deleted all chat history from prior to this year.

Same! 8.04 was a great introduction. Though I learned about wifi drivers the hard way back then…

I’m split on this, on the one hand I think universities should set up instances for official channels of communication. It’s ridiculous to rely on some 3rd party service and it’s algorithm to, say, tell everyone for is cancelled due to weather. It has done costs but makes these communication lines much more resilient.

Yet, extending this instance to staff, let alone students, is a huge can of worms. Bring in charge of moderation and web hosting opens the school up to so so much litigation. They’ll frankly never do that.

It’s really impressive how Lemmy/kbin have totally replaced reddit for me pretty painlessly. Any time Ive checked reddit out of FOMO, the content is far worse, and the comments are horrid.

The thing is, meta has a user base 100sx the size of the fediverse, and absolutely no incentive to EEE a project that is very very niche and inaccessible to a lay audience.

So much of my job is email and I was forced to use Outlook instead of Thunderbird a few years back. It feels like every day it is actually fighting me over every small task. Moments at work where I’d formally clear 2-3 messages, I’m now lucky to get through one. I’ve seriously considered finding a new job over it, but I know Office365 dominates my field these days.

It really needed to be a peripheral device at 1/5 the price. World isn’t ready for laptop-goggles.

Pointing out flaws in the country shouldn’t be seen as a personal attack or critique. Many of the victims of America are it’s citizens (e.g., the incarcerated).

Nationalism just twists the government into our personal identity to manipulate us. Making fun of the government/system is healthy.

This isn’t “Americans dumb” content, which attacks the actual citizens and understandably may weigh on someone.
