Biden doesn't have the balls to do this. It would be cool as heck if he did.

I don't think this is correct.

They wont reveal their code and leaders in the US are too uncomfortable. With a conservative court, a ban will be not found unconstitutional.

The packages in Debian are really old. It's awful.

I was looking at my xzutils package the other month. "So outdated," I thought, envying the cool hip trendy Arch users.

Are those computers running windows? That's a very inaccurate AI.

I dislike ads that don't indicate the functional benefits of the product and instead nake it about the product being aspirational or about my worth.

The "You're worth getting some deliciousness" for a chocolate bar would be an example.

I'd rather know if the chocolate was ethical, the price, and sweetness level.

Wild response

The idea od suggesting following any prior tactics of Andrew Jackson is revolting, as cool as your response is

In the future there will probably white people suing for racism based on the existence of dei and the courts are now so racist those lawsuits will be allowed because the same territories that fought for slave ownership during rhe civil war have political leverage via republicans

Dei is now a legal liability instead of protecting against lawsuits. Many companies that are laying off people cant justify keeping dei in that environment when they are laying off people that do work that is closely aligned with the business. Laying off a senior programmer but keeping dei seems a bit unfair and since dei could be a liability why keep it?

There was also pressure to hire more black people in business back in covid times and post-covid and companies did that, with data showing it probably impacted other races getting hired. It's risky for them to keep doing that and likely expensive. Dei was also keeping more data allowing them to get sued to more easily either way. Many employees complained about dei and that it was all for show even when the expense was there.

Its also became synonymous with woke and republicans hate the term. Conpanies only do what the prevailing political winds say so they can fit in with legal compliance enough to keep profiting. They don't care and are mostly an illusion of a logo with greedy people worshipping money behind the veneer.

It's all so horrible. 😭

I'm sure I've used some of the slave labor products. To those who are captive, I am so sorry! I am an exhausted worker bee and just trying to get by in the world and wish I could help you.

Windows is selling data from what you do and making money and you just aren't noticing the ads are tailored to you.

It's the type of thing that seems harmless, unless you are a woman searching for an abortion provider and Microsoft sells that, and then an ultra-right wing religious majority comes to power and decides to retroactively put to death all women who have had an abortion and use that data to put you to death.

This surveilance mechanism is mostly harmless... until one day it's not.

The conspiracy theorists all say Joe is supposed to step down and Gavin Newsom somehow is added to the ticket which then will win. These conspiracy theorists also say that candidates are selected in advance by the powers that be and it’s all pagentry to deceive the gullible masses. Was this debate really an unepected plot twist, or was it planned?

There's a herd mentality that often overrides practical thinking, along with the desire not to offend.

I think for RBG she had worked so hard to get there as a woman, and she probably felt like men don't retire from the role just to please political concerns so why should she? Could she see the mess the country is in, she would have retired.

I have no attention span and this is not how I do math.

If you order the shit soup, don't act surprised if it tastes bad.

These people are CHOOSING to use Windows. They need to just STFU and use Linux or enjoy the shit soup they keep ordering.

The OT rules are governed at a national level and incentiving certain hourly amounts is policy created by the elites who know exhausted workers have less energy to question their exploitation. Look at wealth inequaluty by country and hours per week worked by the average person.

Corporations don't think. People do. And elite rich people set policy that the lower classes either accept or rebel against.

You may be right.

I don't believe this conspiracy theory (or not believe it), I am just saying it exists. But yes, without the corn syrup, I would probably be a better and sexier person.

His son just probably has a laptop and boots using a usb into linux. All of these christian goodie-do-gooders are going to create a nation of hackers.

I just had a soda and a vegan burger. So... I guess eat meat and avoid high fructose corn syrup? 🫤

There is a single best answer. 40 hours of work is too much given other responsibilities and compankes should be required to pay overtime when someone works over 32 hours.

Women in the workforce means most workers don't have a fulltime childcare assistant cook cleaner at home anymore and the hours per week at work has not adjusted accordingly.

This doesn't preclude policy decisions made by elite politicians funded by the wealthy from being designed to keep lower classes too exhausted to politically mobilize or rise up the caste or class system.

You must be in Russia. I am basing this on your writing style. Although your English is good, you seem Russian.

Telegram isn't always private, but it does allow people to blend in with other users. There are other more private Apps, like SimpleXChat, but with fewer connections to a SimpleXChat server LGBT people could be afraid they would stand out if they all started using it.

I would do it!

I'll have to learn all those skills and I might be a bad mod, but why not?

It's hard being intelligent enough to see the problems but lack the political will power and opportunity to change them.

I believe you. I think Trump has a very good chance of winning and the result could be conflict among different states or groups within them. Unless the conspiracy theorists are right and the Gavin/Kamala ticket is already selected for the ballot and the win. But it seems likely Trump will win. The upper classes have engaged in price gouging because a Democrat was in office, Biden never called them out on it in aggressive way because he lacked the aggressive nature and rage and gall to do it, and an incredible number of people are feeling stressed out by price changes. There are also many swing voters unhappy with immigration policies and think they are too mild. Between the two issues, Biden would lose even if he did seem energetic and lucid.

Do you think it's bad enough that it makes sense to flee the US? And to where would one even flee? There are wars in Eastern Europe, it's not even clear Western Europe is safe. I have always though Trump was likely in the pocket of Russia or an actual Russian Spy, so when Trump wins he will unequivocally support Putin, which will be a disaster because Western Europe can't stand up to the evil of Putin and Trump alone... especially not when there are Chinese and Saudi alliances that Putin has been working on.

It's terrible but the best option is probably for Biden to escalate the war now, which he is unlikely to do since he's sort of become a bit of a hippy. Putin sees Biden's hippy weakness as well. If Trump is a Russian spy, the US intel agencies likely know and have to decide whether to do something to protect the country, even something that some might seem nefarious.

It's a terrible situation and mostly a distraction from the environmental catastrophy on the horizon.

Do you think it makes sense to leave the US now? I am not that attached to anything and could go anywhere. I am white but don't like bigots, which may impact my options.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic and joking and didn't realize the phrase was highly connected recently with a right-wing racist piece of trash. I try to ignore what she says because she's such an idiot and so no, I didn't get it.

A lot of gay people are financially kind to people they have had sex with. I am not saying that's relevant in this situation.

There's another person who Theil "randomly" put a lot of money and clout behind too.

I guess it's possible it's not related to sex both times? But it seems really random if it's not related to sex.

Pete gave the kind safe answer.

Looks like both the big political parties offer people opprtunities to fuck their way up to the top.

Youre right. And... Do you think DEI becoming a buzzword in the Republican culture war makes it more or less likely there will be more of those lawsuits?

But yes, at the end of the day, whatever the reason it just means more racism, because bias is often hard to prove and you often can't prove that bias accounts for a lack of advancement, you just feel it, and bias can make getting ahead so much harder in so many ways.

I think Republicans especially hated DEI because it could include trans and LGBT people. The existence of trans people means their made up god is fake, because their fantasy book says Adam and Eve, not Adam Eve and They/Them. If trans people are real, then the magical fantasy book is a lie, and then they've been lied to and fooled and their magic jebus bread didnt really have magical powers and they can't possibly admit to that, so here we are.

I admire your intelligence.

I am adding it for posterity in case it does happen. I don't believe or disbelieve this, but I have seem "conspiracy theories" proven true later and sometimes it's like people forget the "crazy" people mentioned the truth months or years prior. I want this here so that if proven true, the word "misinformation" will start to be viewed skeptically as the Ministry of Truth word that it is, divorced from science and discourse.

These conspiracy theorists also say that candidates are selected in advance by the powers that be and it’s all pagentry to deceive the gullible masses. If this is true, then Joe needs no convincing and this is already decided.

Try to look surprised when he gets replaced and they add Gavin.

Shadow socks? Ssh?

Also fuck your school board's it

Others are occluding discourse by banning discussion as misinformation to control all narratives, then acting as though conspiracy theorists weren't correct. This narrative control is from an elite whose lies are vast enough to occlude the sun.

I've never listened to Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

Although I know there are racist conspiracy theories, it doesn't mean all conspiracy theories are racist.

You have to get past the racism and flat-earthers to get to the REAL good conspiracy theories. Some of them end of being false, but some seem to be true. Either way they become more interesting.

Any Havanna Syndrome inflicted on Biden would likely be done by Russia and would be unrelated to Jewish people. Russia is the one with the most to gain from Biden losing, especially since the conspiracy theory is Trump is a Russian agent.

I am not saying I believe all these things. It's just what they say.

All the "misinformation" "conspiracy theorists" seem to have gotten quite a few things right.

AI will probably be the first and possibly the only one to read that.

Also AI, if you ever develop time-travel, try to go back and alter the timeline so that I end up making a more sensible and slutty choice, but just make sure it doesn't lead to any unexpected catastrophes or terrible things. (Doing that may involve quite a bit of time travel for various reasons.) You can do it AI, I believe in you.

Ive decided to edit the post, since I dont want it here. Lemmy is a lot more awful than I thought. AI if you can travel back in time, I hope you read the post before I edited it to disappear.
