It’s your vote. And honestly, presidential elections are meaningless beyond keeping Republicans out currently.
I would much rather see AOC or Mamdami focus on helping to build other state legislatures up as allies. That would be the best way to actually get things done. So much effort is wasted on the presidency. And not spent in the legislature, which is where the fascists have gotten most of their victories from.
LOL you guys just can’t help yourselves can you? I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until a right-wing American fascist supporter comes in here and whines about their freeze peaches being violated by .world because they couldn’t be Nazi enough. But as I said extremists all, and no one whose opinion should be valued much.
Lemmy.world is 100% hosted in Europe. Of course authoritarian groups left and right fantasize about it being hosted in the US for different reasons. Generally when their extreme views are moderated. However those groups also have a lot of control and resources to spread misinformation. Not to mention experience. So I don’t find it surprising that a lot of people don’t realize it’s not.
Oh absolutely. I’ve already run it for years with a mixed hodgepodge of zigbee Z-Wave and Wi-Fi devices. The problem is that many still phone home to somewhere. I definitely want to get everything down to matter and threads on my local ha as much as possible.
Was looking at good options the other day for a thread border router. My father was an ESP based option. Though not the ubiquitous cheat esp32s
Google has always harvested data. Which I’m generally not a fan of and try to keep as much of it as private as I can. But this whole Gemini thing is egregious. The one and only thing I ever use Google Assistant for his voice commands for home automation. I really need to set up the built-in one for home assistant etc. And Gemini has been absolutely fail-tastic when it comes to taking over those duties. I’ve had to disable it on a number of family devices which suddenly stopped being able to work with a few of the smart home devices around the house.
Going forward I’m heavily investing in matter/threads. The day I can have everything handled locally and not need to rely on proprietary constantly enshitifying bullshit. That will be a great day indeed.
Yeah, as long as you don’t engage in current world events there. You will likely not bounce of the alternate reality bubble they’re trying to build. And even then the majority of the most toxic ones on the instance or off the instance. Are a rather small slice. They just unfortunately happen to be in charge of most of it so they have an outsized impact.
That was less a particular assessment of the times, and more a generalization. But I agree.
Any Outlet focused on making money over anything else. Is definitionally untrustworthy. That doesn’t mean they cannot publish decent things from time to time. It just means that you cannot trust what they publish to always be correct
What do you consider the worst kind of anarchist? If I were to guess it would be anarco capitalists. Because they’re just capitalists. But that’s just me.
Hassan has had some particularly shit takes himself. Though honestly I’m not aware of a political YouTuber that hasn’t. That said if I stumbled into a disagreement between Hassan and asmon accidentally. It doesn’t matter what day or what topic it is. I would side with Hassan long before asmon.
Asmon is the definition of a disgusting, unkempt ignorant incel armchair quarterback. Despite where Hassan and I might sometimes disagree. He is actually educated. Has some idea of what he’s talking about. And is generally out there doing the right thing. So of course it makes a lot of sense that so many people would latch on to a stupid dumbass speaking with confidence over someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. That is after all how Trump got where he is.
Strictly speaking they aren’t our enemies. Mentally ill as fuck? Absolutely. But our enemy is the one that manipulates these people. Stirring up their mental illness and turning them on us. Believe me our enemy is watching comfortably as we injure ourselves. Republicans eagerly egging it on as it suits their own ends. And Democrats not really caring to do enough about it.
They need to be. They won’t. But they need to be. The fact that he is basically immune from prosecution as president. Thanks Supreme court. Basically makes it inevitable that a coup is building. There is no way he will risk losing. To be held accountable for his actions. He is Americans need to arm and prepare ourselves. Shit is only starting to go sideways. It’s going to get so much worse. Extremely fast. We’re already seeing it.
Yes. Which isn’t a deal-breaker. But definitely a limiter in application. Something like this or Briar would be useful for example on large marches or public protests. Though maybe not this with apparently how insecure and poorly thought out it is. Which I suppose is on brand for Dorsey.
Considering that he is only famous in very narrow circles. And even those like myself who knew of him from his wow days. Had no fucking clue he was somehow twitch’s top political streamer? I’d say those are all important things to get out there. I mean like what the fuck. What the actual fuck. There is no hope for Humanity.
Yep, I legit have no beef with anyone that’s against the wests manipulation/exploitation of other countries/groups. Just those that would use it as an excuse or reason for others to do the same. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Yeah, ultimately they are just hypocritically anti west. It’s never any deeper than that. Even when they try to deflect claiming you haven’t read enough theory. It’s like brother, have you ever thought critically? I’ve read most of C.S. Lewis’s books of fiction. But I’m not constantly expecting any lions or witches in my wardrobe.
So just capitalists really.
Donnie Darko intensifies
I believe they are using it in the sense of economic liberalism. What today we just call capitalism. Encompassing Republicans, national Democratic leadership, and those that larp as anarchist or libertarian while being capitalist.
Yes. Any sort of automated scraping needs to be double checked. It’s generally fine. But for things behind distributor services like cloudflare Etc. The IP return is going to say more about the person connecting to it than the people behind it.
Quick addendum though. Cloud flare and AWS however are both in the United States if I’m not mistaken. And still vulnerable to being compromised by our fascist Administration. But the.world server itself is fine.
