  So stupid. This is only to spy on normal citizens. Criminals can easily use their own E2EE.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bubble Trouble - An AI bubble threatens Silicon Valley, and all of us.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism is a bubble machine. The stock market is propped up on hollow hype most of the time. This panicky bull shit system breeds instability.

  🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China Mulling Ban on Hollywood Film Releases in Response to Trump Tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pirate them. Steal your cake and eat it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z's safe space - Sick of Musk and Zuckerberg, Gen Zers are flocking to Tumblr⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with this. I 100% believe the lurch to the right’s acceleration in America was fueled by social media algorithms.

  These fame obsessed twats are a disease. Killing common decency for clout is bull shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're cooked, I'm hooked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Capitalism was in an ideological battle with communism so the government put it thumb on the scale with socialism but gave credit to capitalism for the outcome. Then billionaires spent 75 years indoctrinating, corrupting, and distorting history to claw back their power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're cooked, I'm hooked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously. This country couldn’t do a better job promoting socialism if it tried. Capitalism to a majority of people under 50 means instability and hardship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention any new factories will have drastically fewer jobs than the factories that left due to newer factories being highly automated. The cost of retrofitting existing factories has stopped many companies from upgrading to keep higher their quarterly profits for investors. If they are forced to build, they will invest in money saving long run cost savings like automation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even the most successful indie directors can’t make a living. why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Came here to say this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is rolling out its big app redesign⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And Jellyfin is better and free. I don’t trust Plex with my content and I don’t want their added streaming bloatware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The man with a mind-reading chip in his brain, thanks to Elon Musk⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what capitalism does by design. Resources accumulate upward until some entity forcibly redistributes it (government, populous revolution, etc). It is a system that always leads to the detriment of the many for the vanity and power of the few it deems “winners.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The older ones are hearing stories of social security being canceled on people like them and they are getting nervous. My vehement Trump supporting co-workers are having trouble backing things he does. The cracks are small and slow but the confidence in their statements of support are getting weaker. I think some support is eroding, but it’s slow. It’s really going to have to affect them more directly for it to fully erode sadly. Though I think it will, the damage the right will inflict in the mean time will change this country for generations.

  People want original stories. The recycled IP scheme is burnt out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Starlink Expands Across White House Complex⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Came here to say this. Going to help cover up the extraction of sensitive data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people care about empathy so much when it’s not needed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Empathy doesn’t matter TO YOU. Society functions on empathy. It is a skill and one you clearly need to develop. You aren’t a good leader if you don’t have it, you just think you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Fuck Trump supporters. Their toxic hate is a detractor worthy of being cut off. If he can’t see how toxic he is, put him in that position and make him choose. Help him understand the truth of project 2025 and then let him decide if being “a man” is more important than being a father.
