Well, time to get some very inflamiatory deepfakes of Elon out there, then

You understand that this is an admission that the US is just flat out a fascist country, right? A fascist democracy is still a fascist country.

I wonder when we’ll finally revoke that license.

Well, he’s special! It’s right there in his title! He’s the specialest little employee. Yes he is! Yes he is!

Reddit would refuse to accept (error out) or act like it accepted and then just outright delete my comments

Oh, this is pretty standard behaviour on the site in general these days. It’s just a broken mess made by an incompetent company. Their front-end regularly silently disconnects from their backend all of the damn time.

For the most part it’s not censorship, it’s just a badly broken website that doesn’t give a shit about its users’ experience, because it doesn’t see anything else as real competition.

My understanding, though, as a Canadian, is that refusing to sell Jack Daniel’s is over-stepping, and that they have the unalienable right to be on whatever privately owned shelves and sold in whatever privately owned facilities they wish, regardless of threats made to autonomy or safety.

Oh yeah, the American Empire is over. By the time anyone else is willing to trust the US again, it will no longer be important enough to care about its hissy fits.

Oh, as if people will remember shit. A lot of voters apparently forgot that they’d already had Trump for president. The shocked-Pikachu faces have been beyond bizarre this time around.

The showrooms are still standing, so I don’t think the Yankees are protesting hard enough.

They should call the French.

He creates shareholder value. That’s all that publically trades companies do. It’s their goal.

Everything else is just ways they attempt to do that, and someone like Elon does it with hype, since the agencies that are supposed to prevent such nonsense abandoned their responsibilities a long time ago.

Tesla stocks are now a ponzi scheme. At some point, someone’ll be left holding the bag.

Going to get Nuralink to market, though.

What we really need is for people to put up topic focused sites and promote them as their own thing, not jusy “lemmy”. So many specific interests still have very active forums dedicated to them, populated by the kind of people who want to ask queations aboht and discuss the things they have interest or expertise in, but who aren’t into things like Reddit.

The fediverse is perfect for places like that. Places where you can focus on your primary interest, but also look over the fence. But all anyone wants to do is put up general interest sites and whine about there being more than one “gaming” forum.

You’ve set the bar way too low. You can’t buy peanut butter toast in grocery stores, either.

I would have said the same thing about PB&Js, too, except society is so depraved now that that’s no longer true.

And Musk os too stupid to realize that Trump cares about the image of holding piwer, not about the power itself. He’s very easy to control from the shadows, but Elon can’t keep his face out of the public eye.

Arguing that wanting to have sex with a minor is anything but is a take, and definitely has me glad Boost supports user tagging.

A big issue with the 2022 signup wave was the influx of new Masto websites, run by new admins. The subscription model of ActivityPub meant they were mostly contentless, and they weren’t seeded by knowledgeable users. People needed to understand the basics of federation to find anything because nothing was being syndicated on those sites.

And then a bunch of them shut down when admins who were ok hosting hundreds of like-minded users suddenly had thousands of generalist users flooding their sites.

It was major human infrastructure failure.

And that was as a whole bunch of tenured users started getting hostile over people not adopting the idiosyncratic nettiquite of the was-niche-only-yesterday space. The server blocks started rolling out, and people needed to understand the idea of “federation” (and, apparently, “the Internet”) to understand why they were being “denied access” to the cranky people, trolls, and unmoderated spaces.

The truth is, most people don’t like the internet. They like the simple, streamlined process of just being owned by corporate interests. Walles gardens work for them in a way public parks never will.

Inviting further genocide is not punishing him for the genocide. He didn’t play the strong man and step on a country America went and deeply intertwined itself in. So, instead, y’all held your smug, self-satisfied, fart sniffing noses high and let someonw who has championed the genocide take the reigns once more because yoh wrongly believe not touching the switch gets you out of the trolly problem.

The thing is, we’ve seen what the working class wants: Not concrete policy that will help them, but to have their feelings of struggle, outrage, and anger acknowledged and reflected back to them.

The Democrats could have radical pro-worker, pro-working-class reforms in their policy platform, but if what they’re broadcasting is “things are great” energy, or “there are bigger fish to fry” energy, then they’re going to get ignored.

The Democrat’s talking points have focused on the health of American institutions. That’s the thing they’ve repeatedly signalled is most important to them.

It’s not what’s most important to most households. It’s actually pretty far removed from the top of their lists of concerns.

Weird that it wouldn’t ve viewed as constructive dismissal
