you are 100% correct, however, the longer im here, the more tech literate i become, the easier it becomes for me to explain it to others, and thus, the fediverse grows. word of mouth to those willing to take the plunge.

you cant force people to learn something, but being able to sell it convincingly helps, especially if you know what you are talking about, and arent abbrasive or judgemental.

linux community / privacy communities rock here.

also general conversation feels more honest and constructive. instead of the whole "WeLl AcTuAlLy!" type of shit you get on reddit. it happens, but nowhere nearly as much.

also, way less censorship. comparing feeds from lemmy to reddit, is like apples to oranges.

this feels like a much more human space to me.

......./s?

just a reminder that the recent manhattan shooting was not about a disgruntled former football player with brain damage attempting to shoot an NFL headquarters, he was assassinating the CEO of blackstone ("former" black rock subsidy, that is part of the reason the rental crisis is what it is) and the media is actively covering it up so people dont rally around him like LUIGI MANGIONE.

nobody drives across the country only to get off on the "wrong floor" from their target, and shoot a random CEO and then kill themselves.

its all bullshit.

just figured id post that here, cause you know, new york.

they are just going to give more resources to israel to continue the genocide and write it off as food aid for gazans.

saved you the bullshit.

Bill C2 removes canadians constitutional rights to privacy by giving police and the government access to our data and mail without warrant and also gives the US access to that same data. which will be shared with private entities like palantir, a company actively working towards dark enlightenment.

on that bill alone i have lost any faith i had that carney cared about our well being. the cuts hes planning to make will effect our already struggling and overcut healthcare system, and many other social programs. in increasing amounts, annually over the next three years.

hes a repackaged conservative whos attempting to open us up to privatisation. feeding tax dollars into "nation building projects" essentially paying for corporate projects on our dime. especially in the energy sector, and oil. for someone who is supposed to be climate concious, this is another nail in the coffin of climate change.

the US and oligarchs the world over are cheering for this while most people are still blindly believing hes our "answer" to trump.

hes the richest PM we have ever had, a banker, and also still has the ability to manipulate markets for the benefit of his "blind trust" which also has american holdings.

he says a lot without answering questions fully, using corpo speak, he just throws out terms that sound nice to placate his worried supporters before they get buyers remorse. and then shuts down reporters who ask him hard questions, from either side of the political spectrum.

he lied about no longer supporting israel, and is still sending them weapons, ammunition, and parts for F35 jets after saying we would no longer being doing that. and so is complicit in genocide.

hes full of shit, and we fell for it out of fear of trump.

and the media and people just loooooove this guy, by design, and refuse to look into the long stretching implications of his policies because "at least hes not PP!". hes shifted the overton window further to the right with virtually nobody noticing. and destroyed the federal NDP in the process. the left is dying in canada, and they dont even realize it.

we are being fattened up for a corporate takeover and economic annexation. as well as drifting further into a surveillance state. our rights and social programs slowly being stripped away with a smile and promise for a better future

hes not our friend, hes a wolf in sheeps clothing.

geniuses

it can harvest my black berries.....

and by that i mean it can be used as an automated masturbation device to extract the semen via sexual stimulation from my genital region. implying that i wouldnt use it for its intended purpose, but for sexual ones, as a joke.

on a subconcious level, this is a knee jerk reaction to a creeping feeling that humans are becoming more and more obsolete in the face of automation, and the horrific potentialities of what is yet to come.

fuckin' clankers!

neat, funded by alibaba and tencent in part. so basically this thing is going to record everything it sees or hears and send it to data brokers.

the ultimate humanoid surveillance bot for those who can afford 6k for a virtually useless conversation piece with a short battery life.

cant believe someones complaining about a cheaper carbon footprint (literally) and the ability to get their hands into pringle cans.
