So why's the majority of the recommended videos, channels and comments on LBRY about loving Hitler, how Jews are secretly running the world, and how LGBTQ+ people are degenerates that should be rounded up and put in camps? I got about halfway down the first page of results when I realized I was pretty much blocking 2 out of 3 channels and decided it wasn't worth the effort.
The argument is that all you're doing is moving the carbon emissions from the car directly in your vicinity to the coal-fired power plant a long distance away. Move that same coal-fired power plant into the sealed room, and suddenly it's no longer far away, and the "unclean" nature of the electric car, so the thought process goes, becomes obvious.
Major demographic collapse is already happening around the world, it's just that it happens in very, very slow motion. You can see examples of just how slow-motion by looking at Japan and South Korea, or China with the ripple effects of the one-child policy only now starting to be observed en masse. Same with many countries in Europe, like Italy and Greece. The US would be experiencing it in slow motion right now, but we make up for the difference through immigration.
Yes, and ads should be regulated regardless of whether the service is free or not. Same way you can't put outright porn on a highway billboard.
Or, hear me out, they were born in a place without their consent, raised in that place as a minor without their consent, and now are not financially or physically capable of leaving that place on their own.
Not @RemindMe@programming.dev , but here's your one-year reminder.
No hard feelings when I get the order to round up your kids to put into the camps after Führer Trump gives the signal, right? I'll just be following orders, and don't worry, work will set you free someday! I'm sure the dead Palestinians from our nuclear launch will thank you from the afterlife for sticking it to The Man.
BMW's Adaptive M Suspension subscription has ignited controversy. Are you paying extra for features already in your car? Find out more.
The name is a holdover from the alien site. The culture changed but the name never changed once it got to Lemmy, and it's not actually about "white" Twitter anymore, just Twitter in general. That's how it's been explained in other posts, I'm not exactly a frequent flier in these parts.
Maybe humanity just deserves to die, all of it. That's why I joined the submarine force, so I can be there to flip the toggle when the order comes to end it all. I even look forward to it, sometimes, like when I read shit like this.
As a US SSBN submariner - bring it. Give me one good reason to set 1SQ and let these birds fly. I dare you.

An empty two story hotel lobby in Colorado, with room windows and sliding doors facing inwards, dimly lit by lamp posts. Empty chairs and sofas leave a wide open central space.
Too bad that won't give you any comfort with all the unexploded ordnance in your playgrounds, white phosphorus burns, Agent Orange in your soil, PFAS and mercury in your water supplies, and destroyed infrastructure after we deliver some Freedom.
In that case I will look forward to seeing the look on your face when I inevitably put on my jackboots and am ordered to train weapons in your general direction when your turn comes under that administration. Hooyah, and no hard feelings, just following orders.
I suppose then you would enjoy the resurgence in foreign blood when Trump ascends the throne and begins launching nukes into Gaza and the West Bank?
Have a UN agency run it?
The stolen information included email and postal addresses.
> Security company ADT disclosed in an SEC filing that hackers obtained “some limited customer information, including email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses.” TechCrunch reports that ADT’s disclosure follows a seller on a cybercrime forum claiming last week that they had obtained more than 30,000 stolen ADT customer records.

Indeed! Nothing's forcing you to be federated with lemm.ee, or keeping you from interacting with lemm.ee. You could block me, or defederate from the instance I'm on, just I could do the same. That's the beauty of the Fediverse, it is what you make of it. Curate it however you like, and let others curate their own experiences how they like. Liberals, neocons, paleo-cons, communists, anarcho-capitalists, ancoms, apolitical folks, there's a place somewhere on the Fediverse for every flavor.
You know this is the Fediverse, right? You have the power to make your corner of it into whatever you want. There's nothing forcing you to be federated with lemmy.world or kbin.earth, just as there's nothing stopping you from exclusively interacting with lemmygrad. The Fediverse is whatever you make it, and everyone has the right to make their corner into whatever they want.

gestures around Products as a service in general isn't needed, but it's done anyways. Single player games don't need to be always-online and subscription-based. Same with movies. Same with cars. But in the world we live in, everything is becoming X-as-a-service. In this case, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they purposely built in a chip that would disable or otherwise limit the battery unless the purchaser client continued paying the subscription fee.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos believes that fear can motivate employees, helping them push their limits even in good times, learning new ways to work harder and smarter.

The New York Times reports the tech has mistakenly identified people as connected to Hamas.
> Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.
