I see a lot of comments from Americans these days along the lines of "someone needs to save us!"

So more than half are okay with it or don't care about it.
Nothing has changed since the election.
And I remember them disabling the features that extension required to function.
Orbit was supposed to be open-sourced when it left beta. Wonder if we'll ever see that. I'd be happy to be able to hook Orbit up to a local LLM.
I recall they said it would be open sourced when it left beta. I wonder if they'll still release it once it's defunct.
Do you know how much electricity your comment just wasted?
Tom8to, tom@to, IMO. The "groundwork-laying" is also a process of seizing power, there just aren't quite so many guns going bang.
That's not really the case, though. This rise of fascism has been building for decades now. It's been a slow, steady, drip drip drip. Perhaps not so noticeable except from the outside - Americans are embedded in a pervasive atmosphere of propaganda. The Republicans have been getting more and more authoritarian over the years, more and more extreme, and the Democrats have been letting them. It's been more than four years since the last violent coup attempt, after all, and those were the same people behind this play.
It's not progressing fast. You just haven't noticed its progress until now, when it's nearly done.
If not now, when?

Propaganda will only get you so far. You need a radical insurgency you can count on.
Yeah, I'm going to wait until China announces it before I believe it.
Wow, that's a sentence I wouldn't have expected to say just a few years ago.
