Americans, like Russians, have been trained to be indifferent to politics and not get involved. It's the result of decades of government not serving the people and showing them that their only power is to bring trouble upon themselves.

Either there will be exceptions for corporations or there will be a backdoor requirement with which corporations will comply, and we'll soon be seeing headlines about state-sponsored hackers taking advantage of it.

I get your point about he company we keep, but tankies are typically authoritarian communists, not Nazis, and antisemitism isn't usually a part of their outlook. You'll find far more fascists on other social media platforms.

If you avoid one or two instances you rarely encounter tankies on Lemmy. You'll still encounter leftists, but that's a good thing.

Nigeria has a lot of oil. It's a wealthy country but the wealth has never reached ordinary people. Shell has done very well out of Nigerian oil, polluting people's lands terribly and working with corrupt governments to execute those who dared protest.

The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone else, and from putting another person's name on the building's exterior.

Then the board have broken the law and should be prosecuted.

Only if it happens soon. Otherwise not worth the wait.

If you look at it the right way it's like a particularly sexy dog butt.

Just one rapist helping another out.

And pedophile sex trafficker and serial rapist.

Does China not have any companies that can make RAM? Seems like an opportunity to grab some market share. But maybe they don't, or maybe they'd prefer to sell it to AI companies too.

We'll be getting the opportunity to rent low-powered cloud computers at premium prices, and if you want to keep your data that costs extra.

Using your money.

Trump has never in his life been "mentally OK".

We can only hope.
