I saw a video once, so I’m pretty much an expert in it.

The popo using cybertrucks would really be the cherry on the techno-feudalist hellscape cake.

I feel like you’re kinda agreeing with me here. You’re absolutely right that racism is institutionalised. The question is how much and how do you hold individuals accountable for an institutional problem?

One way racism often occurs is casually and lazily, with insufficient thought given. But the average American has been trained to be intellectually lazy and incapable of sufficient thought.

The other way racism occurs is through think tanks and cold calculated planning with the aim of the wealthy (mostly white) owning class pushing an agenda.

To me it seems the only possible ways out, if there even are any, is to a) fight institutional indoctrination or b) fight (ala Luigi) the people pushing the indoctrination. In neither of these solutions does directly fighting the indoctrinated people help whatsoever, and if anything it’s exactly what the owning class wants.

Why would they think that way? Could it have something to do with fox news and various influencers stoking fear by whispering in their ear that immigrants are violent?

Doesn’t the obvious disparity in their logic point away from simple xenophobia, and more towards them being indoctrinated members of a cult?

I’m not saying kid gloves are the answer, if they act like fascists they need to be punched like fascists. But if they want to turn their back on their cult, we should also make that path as easy as we can.

To be fair, you’re only going to be tortured if you don’t help out like good old Sergey here.

If by “negotiate an end…” you mean carve Ukraine up for mineral and land rights, then I suppose that’s probably accurate enough.

My theory is it’s only a matter of time until the firing sprees generate enough backlog of actual work that isn’t being realised by the minor productivity gains from AI until the investors start asking hard questions.

Maybe this is the start of the bubble bursting.

Probably not even strange to them, it’s just the nature of science journalism these days. If it’s not strange and new, it doesn’t turn eyes, and therefore there’s little incentive to write about it.

“What are you, Kash?”

“An idiot sandwich?”

“That’s right Kash, you’re an idiot sandwich.”

Yeah, exactly. If you’re worried about the power draw to host a few hundred KB PDF file, you probably shouldn’t be using Lemmy, because scrolling through your feed probably uses 100x that in energy costs.

You have to remember that the shared hosting or aws, or wherever is going to be cheapest to host a simple website is also going to be very power efficient. Wasting power is just throwing away free money, and if there’s one thing corporations don’t do, it’s throw away free money.

You might enjoy SecScannerQR then. It makes it easier to vet QR codes by giving an option to search for the URL instead of going there directly.

I don’t mind the whole online menu thing. It’s probably an environmental net positive, but it’s bs if they don’t have ANY physical copies for those who can’t or don’t want to for whatever reason.

If they wanted me to install something, though, that’d be a 100% instant nope.

They really did go for the “horror movie about to go very wrong” aesthetic when they made those videos, didn’t they.

Well, you USED to be able to, anyways, but they’ve slowly moved to a less customisable ui. Now you have to use extensions from outside websites to even do simple stuff like have a multi-row tab bar.

Not to mention Firefox seems to break them every year or so.

Also, keep in mind, google has been caught slowing Firefox down in YouTube before. So if you notice any slowness in their services, it’s fair to suspect it might not be Firefox’s fault.

Ahh good, let’s put a bunch of electric heaters into the ocean. This sounds like it’ll help with the ongoing crisis in ocean temperature rise, and certainly won’t have any unforseen consequences.

7.5/10. Sweet chilli heat doritos would bump it to 9/10.

It seems to not RTFA is a time honoured tradition we’ve carried with us from Slashdot, to reddit, and now to Lemmy.

Drrr drrr drrr

I like it if it’s really really subtle. Basically the minimum length vibration, which is 2ms on heliboard.

Anything longer, I find annoying.
