Clairvoidance

This is why companies want US citizens to believe that EU is a bureaucratic hellscape (I mean there’s also the forces that want to tell them it’s communist for the same reason I guess)

This is stuff they could’ve gotten from location-data, or if your wifi was on, as you drive through different peoples’ wifi connections (both seeing where you’ve been, and hooking the data from you into data of people in your area to form connections of what’s trending and what they can get you to think about)

I’m not saying they’re not mass-surveilling in the most efficient ways they can, but hot-mic while sounding frightening, is the least useful tool ever for their means, and as has already been mentioned in this thread, android auto locks out that permission now anyway, making this a bad focus in the sense that it is not over just cause they can’t get to your microphone.

spills the beans on a hot mic

hadn’t heard that one

pretty sure Trump was against burning flags too, what’s the new lore there

That’s monitoring you and your closests’ other behavior, as well as monitoring then nudging you towards wanting certain things. The ad itself is the last nudge in that chain that tries to go “you wanted this, don’t you?” after all of the other thinking it’s making a case for your life being better with it.

She contractually cannot complain

probably the judicial branch actually

schumer the secret (public?) accelerationist

blue contrasts the wall better, even with the auto-white-balance taken into account

Well, always felt that.

I’ve had that feeling over photos taken 2 days prior.

I can’t tell if it’s just some mild version of body-dysmorphia

What they should do is one of those replace-words add-ons making rightwingers talk positive about DEI or talk shit about anti-immigration, see how quick people above 60 nationally change their mind

My parents had some of the ancient ubuntu (or ubuntu based?) distros that they let me play with, I myself tried Manjaro in 2017 for a month (very scuffed back then), and then full Arch Linux since March or Apr 2021

Haven’t bothered switching since, but if I did, I’m lightly curious on the NixOS hype. Why yes, I just installed Arch Linux for the archbtw, but also it feels like it just works for me at this point (yknow, till the next fuckup akin to the grub2 fiasco)

Power Off to secure that things get updated and resetting float integers in case they would go haywire

Poweroff could use more write cycles on the SSD because it has to read everything at startup, but suspend has to keep supplying power to the RAM

for this, I would say SSD is more valuable personally, so if that was my only reason, I’d suspend to RAM every time

My computer’s generally doing stuff I have it set to do, so I don’t suspend to RAM

Laptop gets turned off when going outside, also encrypted

2 with 3’s handle,

2’s head is just weirdly always satisfying

but 2’s handle is a bit comical

Keeping away from X is more of a health thing honestly,

I know at least for me, it leaves me worse off reading through posts on there even if I’ve tried to fight them

Yeah but it’d benefit the administration at least, I’m not saying it’d benefit anyone else!

i realize my wording is a bit wonky, when i say “we’ll exempt any tariff that goes to it”, I meant the getting resources from elsewhere would be subsidized

also just lower the minimum wage to $2 :^)

Bernie and Warren were definitely contributers to making Biden move on minimum wage,

but everyone who actually remembers when the Democrats had the majority knows better than that

the democrats did not have the overwhelming majority (60) that can surpass a filibuster, and yeah, the big-tentism hurts to an extent with more conservative democrats, but the states they come from don’t have a lot of alternatives in terms of what type of politician is going to get voted.

Democrats have the power to stop Trump right now, which they’re failing to do

Trump is engaging in a lot of bypassing that the judicial branch should be taking care of, but the judicial branch is compromised. They could in theory prevent bills that require overwhelming majorities yes.

They can and should protest it, but a lot of it is on the judicial branch saying no and reversing demands by the executive branch

e: yeah i flipflop

I empathize a bit, but it’s not like democrats haven’t been getting more leftward either.

The truth is though that ultimately, politicians are gonna be malleable to those who are going to vote, both because of the very simple “if I focus here, I will be more likely to get the most votes while providing due change”, but also because the idea of democracy is based in the trust that publics will emerge to voice their concerns to the politicians.

Most politicians are just not online enough to gather the discourse that we would be experiencing, and also there’s the whole issue of not knowing how much of it is foreign interference in a trench-suit pretending to be the voices of the locals. That’s why direct calls to voicing these concerns to local politicians, and being willing to hear them out as much as they hear you out matters a lot. Some do forget over the years, but a lot join politics because they genuinely want to make life better.

if the last month has taught us anything, real 4D chess would be “make the Switch 2 here, we’ll exempt any tariff that goes to it, and lift the ones on you”
