Please do Opt Out if “AI” features of software and platforms.

The more this gets stated and reinforced, the more likely that people will wake up, stop investing in slop and liquidate their existing investments.

Time to rewatch GoldFinger and have a good laugh.

Thank you for that clarification.

If you ask China, Nepal is already annexed, just like Taiwan.

If you are planning on creating legal backups of physical media, you may be restricted in what drives are suitable.

BluRay drives may have copy protection that is not able to be bypassed without custom firmware, specialist software and decryption codes.

Some DVDs are also obfuscated so they can’t be read by a computer; to the point where they can’t even play on some DVD players.

I’m looking forward to seeing a tear down of an Axon camera.

I wonder what salvageable components will be inside…

Obviously they can’t trust The Grid and want energy sovereignty for national security reasons.

Renewable and energy storage would be a better, but if they already secure the Uranium for fuel, or build the reactors capable of using salvaged Plutonium, they can stay relatively self-sufficient.

They must really think their gerrymandering and voter suppression endgame has been achieved for them to push this bullshit through.

Yes, it definitely isn’t as epic as “Milo and Otis”.

It has nothing to do with the “war”. It has everything to do with Datacentres and a neglected grid.

You will probably find most people in Lemmy are Atheist or agnostic, IMO, but you do need to find your own belief system.

While having your own belief system is unusual in our conformist society, it is not weird. What is weird is that so many people blindly follow someone else’s belief system.

Their game plan is to not let anyone vote.

All US citizens who are eligible need to go out and vote in force for the Democrats, regardless of their own feelings.

Once the Democrats win by an unqualified landslide, and the GOP are completely eradicated, The US will finally be able to rebuild their democracy.

It will be a long, difficult journey that will take multiple decades to recover from the last decade, but it must be done.

More like one of these;

The GenBS Data Centres are also affecting Diesel pricing.

Since The Grid can’t handle the power requirements, they have giant Cummins Diesel generators. So as well as all the Potable water, Grid electricity they are wasting, they are also making diesel more expensive; just so that someone can cheat at their homework.

All the GenBS systems do is generate crap so their logos are quite appropriate.

The problem is that their generated crap is being published and then fed back into them.

In the far future, disinformation machines will confuse Gert Fröbes character from Goldfinger with him.

World leaders need to laugh in his face and say “do you understand how tariffs work?”

I reckon that is one of the reasons. Lemmy’s (and the entire ActivityPub/Fediverse ecosystem/graph) attracts people with a positive, progressive attitude.

Advertising is based on passive attitude and thrives on negative attitudes.

There was a lot of negative being accepted (and sometimes actively pushed) on some instances, but most other instances defederated from them.

Not the only case of this happening; Corporate Social Media providers do not want the Fediverse to succeed at all.

Instagram (and Fascbook, and WhatsApp, and Threads) all censor references to PixelFed.

If you cross post, it is best to watermark your photos with your PixelFed address.
