No warning, no siren

And at the same time morons have spend the last few years of war in Ukraine to hallucinate about the new transparent battle field that makes so many systems obsolete…

And this exact type of trust me bro idiot is in charge of the US military now.

Yeah, that’s the plan… for the few days the total stocks last.

Iran has shot two times the amount of projectiles (most of them cheap flying mopeds…) in just that short time as the US’ (already upscaled) capacities produced over the whole last year.

And anyone with just two brain cells would have known this beforehand if they just looked a few seconds at Ukraine in the last years. (In fact several states in that region opted to make a lot of money instead by selling Gepards back that have been proven to be very effective against those slow moving mass drone attacks - Qatar for example sold their 15 back to Germany for twice the amount they originally paid, so those could be delivered to Ukraine.)

Objects is too unspecific, so I will just assume something like this:

No, there is no rift.

Just momentary confusion when reality clashes with the narrative. And that’s easily fixed once the cult gets instructed on their new reality.

Yes and no… how many details of your authentic and true self have you shared in discussing here?

And not only was there no progress regarding universal income, but basically all productivity increases of the last decades went directly and mostly untaxed to the top. All while wages (and social and health contributions, lots of taxes and sometimes even pensions linked to them) are stagnating.

So we are not only doing nothing to account for that issue, we are in fact already moving in the wrong direction for quite some time. And we are already reaching the point were a lot of Western countries are now loudly telling the fairy tale of how demographics are the problem that makes existing system unsustainable, when in reality the blatant transfer of economic output to the upper 0.X% is the issue.

The military? Probably not…

But you might get a federal agency already cosplaying as a para-military group to overlook the election and make sure you’re voting correctly. 👍

Honestly, if we are prevented from sharing our authentic selves, or at least who we want to be online, there’s not much point in social media. Everyone talking at one another without ever revealing anything real or true about themselves? It sounds absolutely hellish. Everything I hate about interacting with other people, and none of what makes it worthwhile.

This.

Burner accounts won’t help much. Somewhat fuzzy association of details from different sources to create a complete picture is what AI is good at (not very precise but with reasonalby good results).

The only actual way around is not sharing stuff you don’t want to share. Omit details in publically accessable online stuff, only share those properly encrypted (with people… not with systems).

“…most companies will do the same”

And the minority that won’t will survive the shitshow of idiot CEOs falling for a promise of AI -which AI cannot fullfil- just because they hate those icky employees so much.

In theory: automation makes the few working people massively more productive, so countries as a whole can easily sustain proper social systems even with those numbers.

Reality: Turbo-capitalism says fuck you!

Reality 2: AI is bullshit and not actually able to replace most people. But it will of course not prevent emploee-hating CEOs to do in anyway.

I might be biased but there could simply be some degree of objective assessment involved… *spitting looking at you snap*

Well… let me explain what this wrapper does…

I am so terrified of a future where people have hallucinate their own perfect AI companions and no longer understand that they need any actual human friends.

Deporting or locking away citizens and members of the legislature… a totally normal thing to do in a democracy.

I assume they plan to win elections in the very same way the nazis did… after the opposition was banned and/or locked away.

Flatpak just working would be a nice thing. Everytime I try they fuck something new up…

(Last time I thought about installing Steam via Flatpak on Arch to get rid of all the multilib 32bit stuff not needed for aynthing else anymore it worked for nearly 4 days. Then flatpak update randomly uninstalled its nvidia drivers because an “update” removing the old package first, then realizing it can’t find the new one make total sense of course.)

As many as are driving the correspondig vehicle legally on streets.

EVs are inherently cheaper that CE-based alternatives.

So unless this is about stopping the 24/7 propaganda of fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s just some useless PR stunt.
