  You should probably just switch to the notes app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Genocide starts with weapon parts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s wild to me that the F-35 program is constructed in such a way that the slightest disruption to supply lines would ground them. Like if China somehow cut off Australia from the US, both those countries wouldn’t be able to use their F35s until that issue is resolved?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Performative Perp Walk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess he’s trying to learn more about prison life before he gets his own perp walk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evil⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  TL:DR: IBM sold machines to the Nazis that they used to track down people to put into concentration camps. It would’ve been harder to do if they had to rely on paper records only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evil⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still using the lesser of 3 evils, we need a fourth structural markup language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evil⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess they’ll use JSON when they’re building the database to do the next holocaust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey is Sharing Luigi’s Manifesto on Social Media Actually "Glorifying Violence"? Because Reddit Said So 😭⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty shitty as far as manifestos go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Depressing awful town⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the type of thing you make if you have nothing else in the fridge and you can’t go out to get anything else. And you’d keep that shit quiet and never admit to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He was pretty awful too, you know.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, Ford was a literal Nazi sympathiser as well. I don’t think there’s an ‘ethical’ car you can buy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Next they’ll tie AOC to this because she played Among Us on Twitch once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are examples of things that would get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances of Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  On Reddit I got banned from subs I’d never posted in for participating in other subs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netanyahu claims Melbourne synagogue attack linked to Albanese government’s ‘anti-Israel position’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say it’s linked to what Israel is doing to Gaza and Lebanon. That stuff didn’t happen before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tipping culture is out of control, even the cops expect tips now!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s all correct and everything, but you do get that this was just a stupid pun, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tipping culture is out of control, even the cops expect tips now!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This Guy Fawkes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn, "Thoughts and Prayers!"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn, "Thoughts and Prayers!"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The CEO of Medica should probably stay away from sidewalks in front of hotels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather own a home yet?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if his landlord ever considered not renewing his lease due to his political stance vis-a-vis landlords.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since the government can theoretically access the location of everyone's phone, wouldn't it be unsafe for an undocumented immigrant to have a phone?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s definitely being logged by your Telco and phone manufacturer. Police can send them warrants to ask which phones were in X area around Y time frame and go from there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or if you happen to understand the language in question too (not quite relevant to District 9, but for human languages).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Right Has a Bluesky Problem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, if they can somehow come up with something better than activitypub, that would be great, from what I read it’s actually not that efficient. But yeah, decentralisation is not something you can just tack on, so I’m sceptical too, especially since they’re trying to raise VC money, which is not something you do when you want to build an open protocol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young people were becoming more anxious long before social media, and we should not be fixated on simplistic explanations that reduce the issue to technical variables, researcher says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been clear from Gen X onwards that we’ll have a worse life than our parents, of course you’ll get anxious about it. You can probably plot this on the same chart that shows the rise of income inequality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Right Has a Bluesky Problem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s somehow worse than Mastodon’s toots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Right Has a Bluesky Problem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bluesky is supposedly working on decentralisation, but yeah, I agree, especially since Mastodon is already there. Normies are just somehow very turned off by too much Linux talk, even though free software is part of the answer to keeping our society free and stopping monopolies from forming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biden Visits Amazon, Vowing Help to Fight Climate Change⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For like the next 2 months only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s either:

  • they have to pay residuals to the actors for every stream, and they’d rather not do that
  • not 100% sure if it applies in this situation, but somehow they can write off the value of media just by making it unavailable, which gives them a tax break
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[FoAR] Foundations of Amateur Radio - Why does your Wi-Fi connection drop out when cooking lunch? #podcast⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never actually had my WiFi drop out when the microwave was running. I assumed this was mostly a myth or an issue with older versions of WiFi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The pandemic and Ukraine shows you can’t just count on global markets in a crisis, and we’re heading into a world with more, not less crises. Countries everywhere are onshoring critical industries, and the BRICS countries are working on getting off the dollar. That’s happening whether Trump is President or not (and unfortunately he is).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Strategic doesn’t mean just military. It means strategically investing in this capacity so you don’t get caught with your pants down when Russia turns off the tap and destroys your economy overnight. We’re past the globalist world now, and if your country is still making decisions as if we are, you’re not doing it right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, there’d be some arbitrage, but pretty much every country that has a functional government will invest in domestic capacity for strategic reasons. You won’t have countries that have none at all and have to import everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s (admittedly comparatively expensive) alternative processes, and even if you stick to the old process and just stop using coal for electricity generation you’d cut coal use by 75%.

  Not to mention, the carbon that stays in the steel doesn’t actually go into the atmosphere, so there’s less CO2 emissions for that specific use if you can substitute the fuel used for heating.
