Not giving the Babylon Bee clicks is a good thing.

If phrased like that obviously not, but that’s now how those things are marketed. The average person might just stumble upon AI “therapy” while googling normal therapy options, and with the way the media just repeats AI bro talking points that wouldn’t necessarily raise red flags for most “normal” people. Blame the scammer, not the scammed.

Modi has been in office since before Trump’s first term.

ETA - he was also elected despite him being complicit in an anti-Muslim pogrom in 2002 being public knowledge.

Football.

You don’t need to be in line of sight, your family needs to be. Are you still going to risk it if you know that the government will throw your family into a concentration camp in response?

Assume that the fascists in this fight have zero respect for human rights or human lives. Because they’ve already proven that they don’t.

Then Tim is probably going to get himself killed in a standoff with the police.

The US lost because of domestic pressure to end those wars. Militarily the US was never in danger of defeat. Do you think that the current US administration is going to give a singular shit about domestic pressure once the shooting starts? If the military sides with the government, the government wins. If the military sides against the government the government loses.

Tim shouldn’t be allowed guns either.

Die hoffen vermutlich auf baldige Neuwahlen und wollen danach auch in die Regierungskoalition.

So you think your 9mm is going to defend you from a government tank when it actually comes down to violence? You’re fucked, gun or no gun.

400€ im Monat mit Arbeitspflicht für alle unter 70? Frage für einen Fritz.

Yeah, that’s gonna get people killed.

And that’s not even mentioning the mass abduction, reeducation and forced assimilation of Ukrainian children.

I’d argue that Lemmy and the wider fediverse aren’t simple and effortless enough as they are right now. There’s a reason that Bluesky took off when Mastodon didn’t.

It’s very much not. There are plenty of people who do not only not have the knowledge (and the time, interest or even ability to learn) to self-host anything, but who also don’t know anyone who does. That’s probably a majority of people, actually. We need privacy-respecting, open alternatives that function as drop-in replacements and that are just as intuitive and easy to use as corporate offerings. Otherwise the future is corporate shit.

Peaceful being the operative word. If Taiwan democratically elects to join the PRC then yes, Germany would accept that. If China invades and holds a Russia style “referendum” then no, Germany would not consider that legitimate. Only one of those is a likely scenario, and it’s not the first one.

The soundtrack is also amazing. But yeah, the movies did the characters dirty. And it’s not like the character building is particularly compelling in the books to begin with, it’s very much a “the good guys are good and triumph over the bad guys who are evil because they’re evil” kind of story.

Is that supposed to be English?

Phone speakers these days are fairly decent. Will good headphones/speakers with a good DAC and AMP and a lossless audio file sound better? Well, duh. Are phone speakers adequate for the vast majority of people who aren’t audiosnobs, sorry, audiophiles? Also yes. Just don’t be that asshole using speakers in public spaces.

No thanks.
