That’s what happened in Cyberpunk. Internet became garbage because of rogue AI.

You get 10+ texts in a row?

I usually respond in paragraph form and then as they’re typing a reply, I panic and ghost them for another day.

I came to this comment when you had -2, which was ridiculous.

It’s really frustrating reading Lemmy commenters like, “America do something!” Like God damn! The news doesn’t want to report on all the work the millions of Americans have been doing to protect our streets because they’re paid by billionaires.

Pretty much. Going to bet that maga nut had that whole complaint prepared days in advance for this.

Not sure who is downvoting this. If you’re young, you may have never experienced this in your life. But this comment nailed it.

I’ve reached an age where Im reminded of this constantly at all levels.

• I’m here for the money or conservative principles, never intended to change anything, and didn’t sign up for this shit: Retiring to my Swiss chalet.

This one is the most common from my perspective. A lot of cheery hopefuls run for politics for one or two very specific causes. Then after watching the slow machine of government move and it takes 9 months to even get traction on their cause, they check out mentally and are just staying for the money.

In my town, while ICE is kidnapping people off the street, half of the local gov are silent because their political platform was to upgrade a park’s dog area, or provide snacks for libraries, not dealing with armed masked goons.

For every AOC out there, there’s a thousand acting gov officials that quietly just want a paycheck and healthcare, and then causally run again unopposed.

Five years ago, a open-source project I worked on moved to Zulip (from Slack) and it was a small hurdle. But after a month, I really like it!

So much that I’ve pushed a few other open source projects (who lived on Discord).

I was really surprised when I started a new job two years ago and THEY used a self-hosted Zulip. It’s everything Im used to on Slack.

Discord has team speak/video sharing, which I don’t think Zulip has. But then again, we use something else for video calls.

For e2ee, neither does Discord, nor Stoat, which is what most of these comments are pushing people towards.

What was the problem with Zulip on mobile did you have?

I only use it for text chat, so I’m curious.

It does lead to slippery slopes. First, it’s to block “adult content”.

Then, they’ll consider certain topics “adult”. News about current events? LGBT content? Video games with some violence in it?

Facebook is an example of this slippery slope. And for parts of the country, they do need to scan an ID.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R, Tenn.) posted on X on Monday evening a letter addressed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee in which he called for an immediate inquiry into the National Football League and broadcaster NBCUniversal over their “prior knowledge, review, and approval” of what he alleged to be “a performance dominated by sexually explicit lyrical themes and suggestive choreography.”

Oh yeah. Based on the phrasing… This is projection.

Check this guy’s laptop.

Apparently a certain orange president says it’s ILLEGAL for protesters to carry guns so here we are.

Some other key details:

Definitely don’t pour sugary drinks into a gas tank. Or leave drywall screws under the tires of vehicles.

Because a group of masked guys leaving a vehicle unattended does not mean you can just go up to it and do anything bad to it.

The website would be better if there was also links or resources to alternate.

But also that’s hard depending on where you are.

The Vietnam war, Americans were told the same thing.

That’s when they started fragging their commanders.

America creates the blueprint. As they say, we are #1 (at speedrunning towards a cyberpunk dystopia)

For things before 2023, there was sexual harassment (multiple) bullying and hostile workplace and their excitement over NFT. They had a boys club and made it a really toxic atmosphere, where the CCO literally said “Women don’t sell”.

The best way from my perspective is to show them.

At tech events and meetups, I’m showing them Linux.

When my friends come over, I show them my self hosted solutions on a Linux.

At work, where we use Macs, we talk about open-source, including Linux.

My favorite is the one where Republicans go, “Why are immigrants getting healthcare for free, when I have to pay for it?!”

As if Democrats haven’t been pushing for universal healthcare.

Put your private citizens data on US servers?

Nah. More like giving your private citizens data to US government.
