‘We the people’ is a timeless ideal of American democracy. What’s gone wrong?
  • Didn't the south join in the fight because Britain was in the process of legally abolishing slavery and they were afraid of this abolition applying to colonies?

  • Follow the 30/30 rule
  • How can you stand 30 minutes of work?

  • Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs
  • Looking forward to Tesla reporting Q2 earnings next month. I assume another round of disastrous numbers paired up with some vaporware distraction. Perhaps they can keep this charade going, but at some point reality will catch up.

  • 128 Democrats join House Republicans to block AOC, Al Green bid to impeach Trump
  • Ah, Jim Clyburn, the jackass who helped Biden win the primary and put us on the path to the second Trump term.

  • Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week
  • We should've gotten a 4-day work week decades ago. Now it should be a 3-day work week at most and I'm being generous. The capitalists are always screeching about the low birth rate, but if people were working 3 days a week and making a decent living off that time, it would help the birth rate because then a household with two working parents could be scheduled on different days and alternate staying home with the child, plus have a shared day off every week.

    Anyway, that's just a selling point to make to the capitalists. Whether or not it helps with the birth rate doesn't matter as much as the fact that we're owed shorter work weeks thanks to all the blood, sweat, and tears that labor has put into making the world as wealthy as it is now. What's the point of all this work if not to improve our standard of living? Technology making our lives better is hitting diminishing returns and now it's often not making our lives better or it's even making our lives worse.

  • Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day
  • It already jumped up about 10% on monday simply because the service launched. Even if the service crashes and burns, they'll jump to the next hype topic like robots or AI or whatever and the stock price will stay up.

  • Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon
  • Oh right, I forgot that history started on October 7th.

  • Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon
  • Iran is simply countering the terrorist state known as israel.

  • 'They quit after a few hours': Farmers admit they can't find American workers
  • If only the parasitic middlemen were willing to reduce their ridiculous profit margins...

  • Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, 250 guests arriving on 90 different private jets at the wedding in Venice.
  • Pre-covid and post-covid are completely different markets. Also, this situation is different in countries where you have to have a car to get anywhere like in most of Canada and the US.

  • Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon
  • Iran has the right to defend themselves and israel has proven again that Iran is in need of this defense.

  • Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, 250 guests arriving on 90 different private jets at the wedding in Venice.
  • You can get a year old car with 5k on the clock for a 40% discount.

    No you can't. That's maybe what the dealership will pay you for a trade-in, but not what you would pay to purchase such a vehicle.

  • Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”
  • The weird people are still there, but development teams are much larger now, so their input is not as prominent. Plus the budgets are so large that a flop can heavily damage a company or even ruin it, so they're very risk-averse. We need more AA or A games instead of relying so much on heavy-hitters.

  • Retweeting
  • Wasn't this the boomer retirement plan? Societal collapse takes a lot longer than one would think.

  • G7 leaders: ‘Iran can never have a nuclear weapon’
  • The country founded on the idea that "God promised us this land" already has nukes.

  • The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice
  • I think at this point Android is the king of operating systems in terms of what the majority of consumer devices run. Perhaps the path forward is people plugging their phone into a dock and being presented with a more productive interface.

  • [Video] Missiles barrage hits Tel Aviv
  • The problem is that israel uses its citizens as human shields.

  • TIL No Kings Protests were the 3rd Largest in US History
  • Alright, so let's say trump is gone, what replaces him? Business as usual republicans who were all on board with his policies but didn't like how boisterous he was. Democrats are all too happy to play along, fellating war criminals like dick cheney and george bush. America is a representative democracy where you vote on which representative will represent billionaires for you.

    I hope these protests develop into something more, but realistically I can only anticipate them being used as political points for democrats during their donation drives to raise tons of money to promote billionaire ass-kissers. Things will continue to get worse and then the next villain of the week will appear as the conduit to do all the bad things billionaires want. We'll be told again all we need to do is get rid of this next villain too and then things will be fine, but then the cycle repeats as things continue to just get worse.

  • Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting
  • Not sure, but they anticipate a lot of children having this device in their hands, so they're going to design it for that, perhaps even over-design it, just in case.

  • Tesla blows past stopped school bus and hits kid-sized dummies in FSD tests
  • It's fine, they'll fix these issues in time for the robotaxi rollout ten years from now.

    What's that? They're planning on launching the robotaxis at the end of this month? Well then.

  • !world@lemmy.world mod enforces own opinion by modding opposing opinion as "misinformation"

    Context: https://lemmy.world/comment/14613536 Screenshotted context just in case:

    !

    A user claims that the killing in Palestine stopped under Biden now. I point out that biden had full-throatedly supported the genocide for over a year. A mod deletes my post and says that biden didn't "state" (keyword here) full-throated support for genocide.

    I counter by saying I consider sending billions in support of genocide counts as full-throated support for genocide. I also point out that I didn't say Biden stated his support for genocide and that he didn't need to outright state it because actions speak louder than words.

    I receive a temp ban for that counter and the mod adds a response where they claim the weapons were "provided for defense from Iran, full stop." which sounds to me like actual misinformation because how the hell does bombing hospitals in Gaza defend Israel from Iran? I'm not bothered by their stupid opinion, but I am bothered that they are enforcing it through moderation.

    I ran into a similar moderation problem on the Political Memes community also on .world, but I didn't bother making a post here for that because that's just a dumb meme community and I was better off just blocking it, but now this is concerning a world news community and it's awful to see something like this happening in a community that's supposed to keep people aware of the news.

    But hey, maybe I'm wrong and it actually is misinformation to say it's full-throated support of genocide to send billions in weapons to a country using those weapons to commit genocide. Please let me know what you think!
