Patiently awaiting Congress to ban any Chinese robot vacuums out of national security risk

Not to mention a lot of companies are seeing search as a dead end product…

The problem with Mozilla is that their route back to greatness would require consolidation that cannot and will not happen due to lack of trust and diverging goals.

Mozilla + Proton + maybe a third party like Kagi for search (though it is api based) as separate but federated organizations is the only rational option for them ever reclaiming what Firefox used to be.

It feels like the world is too far gone for this to ever happen. Cynicism, pervasive internet and surveillance culture, and apathy just don’t make the world feel like it could go any direction people want anymore. Feels like we know the track for this and any new corporation in tech and the uber etc were the last of the unicorns where we actually bought into tech improving our lives.

Yeah, this. I had to sign a contract with the state (prior to all the Israel and Palestine stuff) and I was like the fuck is there a clause saying I can’t boycott anything to do with Israel?? Like in completely unrelated contracts you have to promise not to boycott or divest from Israel and I had no idea how or why that was even a thing because it didn’t cover any other country or entity. Israel has absolutely insanely good lobbying (or intelligence, or both).

I realized that as long as you are for state sponsored violence it is totally okay on Reddit. You can say I hope Russia stomps Ukraine’s out of existence but you cannot support violence by a non state actor.

“Us is not a democracy” is in response to republican lawmakers and pundits “reminding” everyone that the us isn’t and has never been a democracy. Just totally normal things for politicians to be doing.

Yeah I mean I got permad back in the day for saying that omicron was transmitting even among vaccinated people (like 2 weeks before that was general knowledge on the news and stuff and “accepted” information) so I get that they just censor along with whatever the current government wants but damn. I’ll take political shitpost cesspit all day over everyone banned for everything censored platform

I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence… like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.

As opposed to the teslas with the back doors for the us government… but will be moot when Canada is part of the states anyway
