The billionaires who own the meat industry thank you for your loyalty. Best not to get the idea in your head that protein can be harvested at home for cheap.

They won’t be able to continue running their business in the US, so likely they won’t be able to continue working with US cloud providers. But there’s nothing stopping them from hosting it somewhere else and allowing US users to still connect, but all the commerce options are going to be useless at that point.

So yeah, they’d be fucked, especially in Germany.

Man, this is an incredibly low bar for “cyberpunk”.
The electric bike has been around 128 years, and being electric isn’t even important. Guns have been around roughly a thousand years. This could have happened literally anytime in American history. The most high-tech part of this story is that it was caught on CCTV.
Wake me when someone gets poisoned by fentanyl delivered by a drone something actually cyberpunk. Like, the gun should be 3D printed, and the getaway vehicle needs to be an eVTOL for this story to be considered cyberpunk.

The small number of comments like yours with extreme downvote counts against the absolute deluge of celebratory posts has me feeling pretty fucked about the entire Lemmy community. I understand people’s poor opinions of the health insurance industry, but this mass endorsement of murdering their executives is not a good turn for this community.
It doesn’t even serve our causes. It doesn’t get us any closer to universal healthcare, or price caps on lifesaving care, or healthcare ethics reforms, or any of the other things that actually need to happen.
With a second Trump term starting next month, if the accelerationist lunatics begging for more dead CEOs gets their way, you’re going to see some of the most horrific state violence imaginable as our new fascist kakistocracy zeros in on their “enemy within” boogyman.
On the note of actually giving a shit about healthcare outcomes, nobody on Lemmy seems to be organizing against the status quo. There are no communities here about unfair health insurance decisions, and medical bankruptcy. Generally speaking, Lemmy has a progressive view on healthcare, but very little interest in organizing about it materially.
But when a CEO gets murdered, the Tankies come out en masse to tell us that shooting and killing a father of 2 is actually heroism or something.
It’s just pure violent hatred, and while I understand where people’s anger comes from, I don’t think I’m going to stick around this place much longer if this kind of rhetoric is going to be treated as normal. If this is how the general userbase of Lemmy actually thinks, I’ll show myself the door and find people who aren’t pieces of shit.
Just wanted you to know, despite the downvotes you’re getting, you are completely fucking right and everyone else who has decided that this is the time to cause a scene can hopefully get banned.
- Comment on Perfect Christmas Gift for your boyfriend or husband 2 weeks ago:
No joke, having a big dick has always seemed bad. Women really only seem to like it as a novelty, but otherwise report strong dissatisfaction with an oversized partner.
Something like 7-8 inches is what most women consider ideal, with way more acceptance for smaller penises than large ones.
I guess if you want to be a fuckboy or work in porn, a monster cock might be advantageous, but my understanding is that it’s awful if you want to provide long-term sexual satisfaction to a partner.

I can’t see how that would ever work.
What if I lose my token? How do I get a new one? Does the old one stop working?
If the old one stops working when I get a new one, then neither was ever anonymous.
If the old one works forever even after I get a new one, then there will be a booming black market for fake IDs.

You are correct.
Gen-X and older mostly had computers come into their lives during adulthood. It’s something they had to force themselves to be familiar with.
Millennials grew up with Computers. Most of us had the Internet by the time we were tweens/teens. We had to learn shit as it was created. We remember all the weird little iterations in tech, and know lots of ways to use a computer. We had to know how the computer worked to use it!
Gen-Z and younger grew up immersed in fully corporatized technology. The iPhone turns 18 years old next year - there’s not a child alive who remembers a time before the iPhone. Nearly every computer they touch was designed to be as easy to use as possible.
While many of us remember running “install.exe” files from floppies to install software in DOS, kids now literally just browse a bunch of colorful icons with “install” buttons beside them.
I grew up in a world that prioritized computers for learning. We now live in a world that prioritizes computers for entertainment and profit. I used to have to go out of my way to find community online, now I have to go out of my way to escape the largest, most corporately controlled communities online.

You could fit all this stuff on 5 tapes. You could just walk around with them in your cargo shorts or something.

Some of the first porn I ever saw was some amateur porn sharing galleries someone linked me to on AIM. Lots of normal people having normal sex. I am somewhat thankful I was introduced to porn this way, rather than some sort of hardcore S&M shit. It was nice looking at something somewhat realistic. Like I had an idea that I would have a chance to do these things someday (spoiler: I would).

127TB of data. That’s almost exactly 20 LTO-6 tapes. Good for 30 years when you’ll need to transfer them to something better.
It’ll cost you less than $300 and it’ll all fit into a shoebox.
Become an archivist. The future depends on it.

- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 weeks ago:
I mean, the reason Musk is an issue is because Twitter is a privately owned, for-profit company. The issue is top-down leadership. Bluesky is absolutely doomed to the same fate.
Bluesky is a for-profit corporation backed by Venture Capital and run by Crypto assholes.
Jack Dorsey launched the initiative in 2019 as a proof-of-concept for a federated Twitter, which never happened. After dumping Twitter, he re-launched it as a standalone social media service and flagship ATProto instance, before jumping ship and letting it be run by committee. He now endorses Nostr, because BlueSky wasn’t friendly enough to Nazis.
The current BlueSky CEO, Lantian Graber, started her career running shitcoin/scamcoin exchange (SkuCoin), manufacturing ASIC mining rigs, and developing for Zcash. She masquerades as a progressive techie, even as all of her past experience leans Libertarian/Anarchocapitalist, and all of her other ventures’ websites are plastered with GenAI slop.
Bluesky is growing faster than ever expected, and with virtually zero real federation going on. It’s going to fail catastrophically when the new user base realizes they signed up for the same shit they were trying to get away from.
It isn’t that hard to realize that a FOSS product developed by a nonprofit (eg. Mastodon) is the correct answer, not more centralized, corporate, for-profit social media…
