It's important not to forget the past. If America treated slavery the same way we'd be a lot further socially.

A teen in Nebraska was sentenced to 3 months in jail because Facebook turned over her "private" messages but sure, no real life problems with trusting meta with your "encrypted" messages.

Don't be like the boomers. We should be loving the generation coming after us not making fun of them.

Don't get too excited. They're just doing it so it doesn't get in the way of the Ai they'll be putting on there.

So the FBI, the one that was ran by a trump appointee, staged a false flag coup. And instead of doing something to stop it trump did nothing. And I'm supposed to believe democrats are responsible? If democrats managed to infultrate the FBI and attack the capital why was trump too incompetent to do anything about it and why did he care that someone died if she was just antifa pretending to be a trump follower?

Also, it turns out sushi people are just eating raw fish because they are pretentious and not because it taste better raw.

A little column A and a little column B. Some fish I don't like raw and some I don't like cooked.

As long as content keeps showing up on my feed I've got no reason to go anywhere else.

For not being a US citizen you have a better grasp on our free speech laws than the professors suing Texas. First I want to state fuck Greg Abbott. Now with that being said, it's not a violation of free speech for the government to block a website on government devices/networks. There are already a huge number of websites that are blocked. I can understand the arguments against doing it but it's not a violation of free speech just because they don't block Facebook too.

You're telling me that trump lost control of his appointees before he left the white house or that he was the one who ordered leo's to provoke the riot? No matter how you try to spin Jan 6th it falls on trumps shoulders. And we know the government provokes shit it just so happens that this time it was done in plain sight and the right is denying it. We heard his speeches and read his tweets too.

Lj has states he intends to introduce a one time payment for ad removal in the near future. People getting huffy over a 6-pack a year fee can rest easy soon enough.

That's gonna take a lot more than 20 years

You're absolutely right, there's no privacy online. But there are significantly better alternatives that offer end to end encryption and sometimes digital communication is required.

What's dishonest about pointing out that if the FBI provoked the riot it was either trump who ordered it or trump who ignored it? Who do you think was in charge on Jan 6th if not tangerine palpatine?

Girlfriend is pregnant? Better be a man and drop out of school so you can get a job. I hear the military is hiring...

I feel personally attacked.

It's extremely easy for an evangelist to make something into a satanic symbol. I don't remember exactly how she did it but my grandma managed to make "zoso" (which if you're not familiar with led zeppelin, each band member had a symbol and that was page's) into some anti Jesus bs and used Bonham's trinity symbol to justify it somehow.

To be fair to people who are offended by this, the weight of the criminal seems entirely irrelevant so it's pretty obvious that the intention was to rile people up.

Parents tend to care significantly less about a $20 toy than a $700+ smartphone.

If they were wrong people wouldn't be complaining about US defaultism.

This is why I can't wrap my head around any of the tiktok hate. I don't trust tiktok with my data so guess what? I don't use it. I don't see how my coworker using it is going to be the downfall of America. We've already banned it from government networks, that's plenty.

boost for reddit dev looks like they released a boost for lemmy

M8 one more time: it is not about stopping students from using tiktok, it is about preventing tiktok from being accessed on the school network. No one cares if you turn off wifi and go on tiktok, that is literally what they want you to do if you wish to access it.

Is there a single country on this planet that has even brought it up? Hunting and fishing aren't going away in the lifetime of someone born today m8 I'm sorry.

M8 all this article is is a shitty attempt to throw someone under the bus and brand them deep state and you're buying it so hard.

That's a oneplus problem. Pixel devices have the option to change photo formats. You can download the default Google camera from the playstore iirc

Because getting congress to change a law after a new state is added gets a little annoying.

Aight so that explains why the stormed the capital but why did they show up to a standard event that happens every 4 years? And why did they bring guns and tactical gear? And why did they build a gallows? They didn't need cops to incite shit, they showed up with a plan and for once in US riot history the cops actions aren't blatantly horrible yet it's what everyone wants to point to this time. Interesting.

In my experience Lexus is more deserving than Tesla. Most Lexus drivers I come across on the road follow the laws pretty well and use a signal, but the people I've met in person who drove them were assholes. Opposite has been the case with Tesla drivers for me and the pic says assholes and doesn't specify their driving ability.

Reddit hid NSFW from /all because of apple and advertisers. 2 things Lemmy doesn't care about appeasing. All is exactly what it sounds like, all.

Unfortunately they typically vote against their own interests and go republican. Of all the Mexican friends I've had I can only remember one not being conservative even though she comes from a conservative background.

Phobias aren't uncontrollable, they're irrational. The treatment for a phobia is exposure therapy because of how irrational it is to be scared of something that can't or won't hurt you. So if you chose not to seek treatment, you're the asshole and you should be ashamed of yourself.

They definitely do but let's not kill their optimism.

If blocking a website on government devices/networks is a violation of free speech why are you just now sounding the alarm? Why didn't you sound the alarm when I wasn't allowed to browse reddit on my government laptop? The government blocking access on personal devices/networks is a violation, blocking access on government networks/devices is business as usual.

I used it as an example because they're both owned by meta and make similar promises on privacy and encryption.

Vampires don't care about ownership. If you're in the house they want in, you can invite them in.

Vampires try to stay away from apartments. They'd need permission to enter the building and permissions for each apartment it wishes to enter. Unfortunately, once in new york city in the 1800's a vampire was getting a meal at a new apartment complex and had permission to the building. As he was making his way through trying to get an invite into an appointment he went to one of the penthouses that take up a whole floor. As soon as the elevator opened he'd made entry to a home without permission and turned to dust. So vampires have been weary of apartment buildings since.

if I take out a mortgage for a property before I buy it and I destroy the house; the bank still comes after me for the value.

There's a type of insurance for everything.

They're not banning their students from using tiktok, they're blocking access to a website on their own networks. That is how network security works. I have many IP addresses block for many customers because some website shouldn't be accessed on networks with PII. It's really not that complicated.
