Kidnapping is a strong word. Perhaps “strategically relocated” would suffice?

Mullvad VPN and Proton Mail Plus (mainly just to use my Proton account on Thunderbird)

I’m actually surprised that the PS5 is right behind Xbox 360 and PS3

Up until that last paragraph at least. Not that I’m for minors getting trans surgeries, but they were never getting those surgeries in the first place until they turn 18. So, the fact that they bothered to make a law about it speaks to the rising transphobia in our government on both sides. So, I personally wouldn’t consider it good news. Everything else was really refreshing to read though

Well, it’s either that or be oppressed under a fascist government. So its a lose-lose either way in this scenario. Unless the democrats suddenly turn left I guess

I feel like any strong opinions involving the democrats regardless of your side will get downvoted at this point. Democratic party is getting torn apart in general just like the Republican party right now

As much as I would love to believe the good in humanity, at this point I’m skeptical that even if 50% of the population started to resist the government that it would do anything. After all, both viable parties are in the pockets of the billionaires that bought our current government. So unless we have a straight up armed uprising, this will mean nothing.

Why would I trust the big corporations that has been actively helping the Trump Administration? Call me paranoid, but I think there’s going to be a big crackdown at silicon valley soon

You can also disable ai via toggling browser.ml.enable to false on about:config. For now at least…

How is that measured exactly? If wage theft is able to be measured, then shouldn’t the corporations be punished for it? Last year, Amazon stole from me by claiming I didn’t work on days that I know for a fact I clocked in and out for, fired me over it, and then denied my appeal without reviewing any footage. I know that example is purely on experience rather than objective fact, but that’s how I imagine most wage theft happens. Therefore, if it’s able to be measured out reliably, then why isn’t anything done towards them? Isn’t wage theft highly illegal?? Or am I just ignorant???

I mean, for me personally money was only part of the equation considering I was willing to put myself in debt. I could have better job security doing a trade job if money was the only factor. I also found computers inheritly interesting and the job was in high demand at the time. It all has backfired now though, despite developing a passion for tech and software overtime. I honestly SHOULD have done something only for the money instead of finding the best of both worlds, but hindsight is 20/20 I suppose

Copyright can be used to in a good way. Unfortunately, its mostly used by big corporations as a battering ram to extract as much money as possible from smaller businesses and even just individuals

Pretty sure this has already been a thing

That might be true as I haven’t looked into it in detail. Though even then, if the goal is to make cars more affordable, there’s lots of other features you can cut down on that has nothing to do with safety

Ah yes, it’s safety that makes newer cars expensive you see. Not the wireless key-fobs, power seats, built in ipad to replace the perfectly fine knobs and buttons, autonomous driving features…

Guess we need to use capitalism to destroy capitalism like that jREG skit

The government is shutdown, people are starving, flights are being cancelled, inflation is being suffocating, and people are being kidnapped at the streets. So obviously, the name of a new football stadium is DEFINITELY what he should be focusing on. Fucking hell

I have it working on Ubuntu 25.10 and it worked out of the box for me. So I’m not sure if they added the drivers for experimental releases of Ubuntu or I had them unknowingly installed somehow. Therefore, no idea what to tell you other than try Ubuntu 25.10?

Guess ICE can detain someone without a warrant for any reason without needing to announce themselves, not just immigrants. Kinda like a secret police…huh. What other countries had a secret police again? 🤔

Isn’t Lemmy technically a form of social media? 🤔
