We've gone from "if you don't vote you have no right to complain" to "if you don't dedicate time to running for office in matter how reactionary your area is, you have no right to complain."

May I please have rent and food money since I will be needing to stop working to start campaigning for local officies? Can I also now have money for different healthcare that is tied to work?
I'll happily give you links to donate if you put your money where your mouth is, I've been wanting to run for office in my deep red community. No guarantees they'd vote for a queer disabled leftist however.
When WannaCry was a major threat to cybersecurity, shutting down banks and hospitals, it was found that it used a backdoor Microsoft intentionally kept open for governments to use.

EternalBlue is an exploit of Microsoft's implementation of their Server Message Block (SMB) protocol released by The Shadow Brokers. Much of the attention and comment around the event was occasioned by the fact that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) (from whom the exploit was likely stolen) had already discovered the vulnerability, but used it to create an exploit for its own offensive work, rather than report it to Microsoft.[15][16]

EternalBlue[5] is a computer exploit software developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).[6] It is based on a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that allowed users to gain access to any number of computers connected to a network. The NSA knew about this vulnerability but did not disclose it to Microsoft for several years, since they planned to use it as a defense mechanism against cyber attacks.
In real life, if I do not prevent someone from doing a crime that I am aware of was premeditated, I am guilty of not doing my duty. Corporations are people thanks to Citizens United, and governments are ran by people, so uphold them to the same standards they subject the populace to.
Because the NSA, CIA, and FBI love them. Vault 7, Magic Lantern, Intel ME and AMD PSP, Dual elliptic curve, COTTONMOUTH-I, ANT/TAO catalog, etc.
Hell, Microsoft willingly reports vulnerabilities and exploits to the government for them to use.
North Korea wishes it had this level of control on the goods its citizens willingly buy.
American Alphabet Soup backdoors good, Non-American Alphabet Soup backdoors bad.
We could just ban the idea "companies that have open vulnerabilities for corporate and government use" but that would benefit every citizen of every nation, so no.
If there's a backdoor for the FBI, there's nothing to stop Russia and China to also not use it. Same for a Chinese backdoor, nothing to prevent America from figuring it out. It's why China bans American companies, and we're phasing out Russian and Chinese companies.
It's impossible for an open door to know who's using it, and keys for a closed one can be copied and leaked. The safest way to garuntee noone else uses a backdoor, is to not have a backdoor.
"It's not illegal so that makes it cool."
I personally find the ides that if you want an eduction, which is required for modern living, you need to abandon your rights as a citizen. Mandatary and needed public goods shouldn't strip you of your mandatory and needed rights.
Students have their rights stripped, especially as a child, because some Karens and Kevins didn't want to be a member of the HOA, they wanted to be a school board member.
Bags searched and confiscated, protests shut down, students having harmless objects taken away out of a nebulous fear of "could maybe do somethig in the future".
The people pretending to educate citizens, then denying the citizens educating each other.
The people pretending that war is good when Your Favorite Team does it.
The people that act like murder is actually a complex issue.
Revoking the right to question the war, that's awesome. It's cool to violate 1st Amendment rights when the good guys do it!
The fact that most people assume Arch is a broken mess because of a meme is wild. Same people would think Linux is impossible to use if they used Windows still.
Every world leader above 60 should be out of office. They don't have the same opinions and energy of the people they are leading into climate change beyond saving, and increased interest of Fascism.
No you don't understand, we use this bot to deem people as biased. Ignoring that all media is biased to its owners' financial interest and nothing else.
Hell Lemmy.world has banned active users posting NBC and CBS and other reputable news outlets because they shared them too often.
The mods who installed this bot act like its some major service, when all it does is enforce the shifted overton window and acts like news and trends isn't bought and sold to the highest bidder.
This bot doesn't improve anything, it doesn't make mods jobs easier, it just wastes energy like Bitcoin and AI farms.
Beatings will continue until morale over dead children improves. Now go vote or you'll have more beatings under the next guy!
