As much as that should have already happened, it will not be happening.

Shitty copper mechants return from the grave!

Not just VPN users. I don’t use VPN and the massive uptick in the past year or so is quite irritating.

So when the shitty AI moderation kills your latest account, your new one won’t be able to access the only decent interface. Good to know.

I only use reddit now to mod two subreddits. If I lose that account, that’s it, I’m gone. I already stopped posting news to my local city one because I just don’t care enough.

This really doesn’t bother me much because they’ve used whatever tools they could for forever to basically try and price things to try and maximise profit for decades. The tools get maybe better and easier, but this is nothing new in my book. :shrug:

Another person responded: “I hate that he gets to enjoy the benefits of the Presidency. He’s so unworthy.”

uhhhhhhhh, so you want to be President so you can be intimate with women who aren’t your wife? That’s not a great take there.

These kids who are doing this because they are forbidden from using social media? Those kids should come up with money for a server and create an instance of a social media site?

Goddammit, Gabe!!!

Only in the sense that a supermajority of our Congress is beholden to the oligarchs on economic issues, sure, but there is even a minority but growing wing of progressives who need our support.

Meanwhile, on social issues - things like human rights - there is rather more difference between the two parties. Anyone can look at what the support, and while establishment Democrats tend not to be extremely forceful about protecting human rights as much as progressives would like, they are worlds apart from the fascists who are trying to instill Christian nationalism.

Where the hell are you in arguments on lemmy about why nothing gets done in Congress? lol. I have to make some of these arguments that you have made quite cogently, and it can be annoying not to have backup. lol

Age divisions are a wedge issue like any other wedge issue, designed to distract from the wealth inequality fiercely fought for by the oligarchs.

Like several other wedge issues, there are a few valid points there. But it’s mostly to distract. And there’s plenty of counter-points - like statistics that show young people are turning nazi at rates that mean the problem of “Boomers” is not going to die out.

They’ll do what they always do: Let industry write the regulations.

What I dislike is the lumping of all datacenters into one hated bucket. I suspect people don’t realize that, for example, the fediverse… exists in datacenters. Take away datacenters and the entire internet goes away.

I think what people don’t want is a bunch of shitty datacenters (meaning using shitty power sources, for example) that are being built for AI or massive government/private data over-reach.

You WANT some datacenters…

This is like being against… prepared food. Sure, cooking from scratch is better, but outlaw all prepared foods and now you will be exhausted cooking every single day. We depend on some prepared foods. What we want is less added sugar, more healthy prepared foods, safer food, at a lower cost. We want improvements, not a complete ban.

Same with datacenters.

Do you understand the point of polls? They give hard data points so instead of people saying “I hear X” and making guesses, this is actual data on what people feel and think.

I think what you mean is that these results don’t surprise you. That’s fine. It’s still valuable data. Maybe just not to you.

If “they” get to the point of rounding up all Signal users, not using Signal will not prevent you from being rounded up.

I don’t think they’re particularly attractive, certainly not “fine”, but I cannot speak for all, only myself.

Yeah, I just wanted to make my silly joke, but after posting and seeing more comments, I figured I’d better make my actual stance slightly more clear. heh.

I think the glasses are cringe. But I think the violence against women - mostly women because the idiots using these don’t just limit themselves to women but it’s… mostly women that are the victims - is horrible.

I hate that I can’t just make a simple joke without feeling the need to speak out against this problem - not that I have to speak out, that the problem exists and therefore we have to waste time on this bullshit. We shouldn’t have to work against any of this shit, it shouldn’t exist.

Thank you for your kindness in taking my edit to heart - I do know that it can be a pain when you have a serious topic and someone comes in just to be silly like I had. <3

French prosecutors probe secret filming of women with smart glasses

Look, if the women are wearing smart glasses, I’d say they probably consented sufficiently to being filmed!

</titlejoke>

edit: considering some of the comments in here, I’d like to say Iw anted to make a silly joke based on the title, but violence against women is not funny.

Why do we need ionisation in the first place? Sounds dangerous to me.
