He doesn’t genuinely think that’s true. It’s all a grift.

The noses on the Nazi and the woman look like the other two to me.

“Don’t be evil” 2.0

This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc.). To ensure we and our users benefit fully from this expertise, partner Kinjal Shah will join our board.

So we’ll see how long before the VC enshittification begins.

Edit: do you have to be male to be a cryptobro? Cryptosis?

Cool so a replacement that also has crypto bros behind it. Isn’t it fun how Mastodon doesn’t even get mentioned in major media?

They’ll be as “concerned” as Susan Collins for 4(+) years, won’t they.

The president shouldn’t be able to pardon state crimes, only federal. But who knows anything is possible now.

Meanwhile all we got was that bungled foxconn grift in Wisconsin with trump.

It also helps Ruben Gallego continue to move up in his political career.

It still helps. You don’t want Kari Lake around.

The thing is he could do nothing, and then tell his supporters, “I did it! I deported all the bad guys!” And they would cheer and say, “Wow everything is better now. We love Trump.”

When you’ve convinced the people of a fake problem you can just give them a fake solution. “I scared away the monster under your bed.”

Mostly yes: In a sense, doing anything “permanently and forever” is a big deal. People can change and grow, and a full permanent ban without any opportunity for appeal seems harsh. Very few things should warrant a permaban: one example that comes to mind is willfully attempting to circumvent a temporary ban. Posting spam, too.

Also no: Lemmy isn’t and shouldn’t be a critical part of anyone’s life. If you were forever banned from it, maybe it’s okay.

We’re linking to Reddit now? 🤨

This was mentioned elsewhere, but I wonder if it had anything to do with right wing folks attacking FEMA employees. It seems like we’re missing half of the story here.

Steamed ANDs

Dev boards for different microcontroller and fpga platforms. Also UART to USB adapters because I can never find one when I need one and just end up ordering more.

Anything else I can buy bricks and mortar without much hassle.

Nah nothing that cool. A megacorp that has so much influence that it doesn’t need a military of its own. It knows everything it needs to about everyone, can sway public opinion as it wishes, and will continue to enmesh itself into every aspect of private and public life. It produces no products. We are the products, and we are the consumers.

And it’s already here: Google, Meta, whatever Elon Musk is doing idk.

The GameCube in a cool color (like Spice Orange). Not just because I like orange. It has great contrast with the grey and black parts of the console. And the whole thing is wrapped up in a tidy, aptly-named package!
