Are you actually a republican/conservative on LEMMY of all places, for real, or trolling?

It must feel like walking into the wrong bar or something.

I am not gatekeeping, just curious how you stumbled here.

What proof do you have of intentional plot to cut human population on Earth?

Who defines “common sense” and “moderation”? Meat eaters?

If vegans were majority, then you would be, too, called a radical for saying “we should build a slaughterhouse to give people PTSD”

I am not even vegan, but we can’t trust meat eating majority to write the rules on what’s acceptable amount of meat eating. This is just biased and unfair.

It’s immoral to leech off other people’s children tax money, sure.

But also no one wants to be a sucker doing 20+ years of unpaid labor raising kids, so someone else 's S&P 500 keeps growing and sustains a very comfortable retirement plan, and no one will even help you with raising kids anymore.

It’s really the system’s fault, not individuals. It makes it lucrative for every individual human to give as little back, and take as much from everyone else.

BTW Lemmy supports spoiler tag for cases like this. You can write using this template:

::: spoiler write whatever button name you want
here write whatever spoiler you want

To get the following result:

I think reason why ultrarich can be called dumb is their lack of introspection.

They don’t waste time thinking “How does this affect other people?” or “Why do I want to be rich?” or else they wouldn’t have spent decades relentlessly grinding in a rat race.

You also have to be very delusional and take massive gambles to get rich. It worked out for Gates or Musk, yes, but its a survivorship bias. Lots of other psychotic people have lost all by chasing the next big thing like AI-powered startups or NFTs.

Although I would surely not claim all ultrarich people are dumb, because I haven’t seen any, nor have research to back this up.

I have been experimenting recently with turning airplane mode on when I am outdoors. Although I still use a notes app and an offline .mp3 player.

I can definitely recommend, it feels much calmer, slower, and my situational awareness improved too.

They literally said in the opening sentence: “the best thing about early internet wasn’t AIM or MySpace”

The post isn’t about individual technology at all, but how relationship with technology changed.

I managed to squeeze 5 years out of a $200 budget phone. 7 years on mid-range or flagship is trivial.

Especially as new Pixels have lots of features to improve battery longevity:

• charging only up to 80%,

• OLED display that turns off pitch black pixels. Many apps nowadays have pitch black themes, and you can set wallpapers to pitch black,

• limit display smoothness to 60 Hz,

• battery saving mode,

• dark mode,

• turn off background usage for individual or all apps

Taxing sugar is protecting the poor people’s wallets long-term from having to buy Ozempic, surgeries, sneakers for jogging, and fitness trackers.

That’s the real way wealth gets transfered from the bottom to the top - by selling poison AND the treatment for it.

It’s not like authoritarian governments ever lied with their official statistics to prove a point or anything…

Environmentally inclined people feel like they do something and don’t rally against the real problem.

Actually we have already been lobbying and protesting and trying to change the system for decades.

The work might not be visible, but it’s due to resource constraints, not because we are delusional and think that decreasing global CO2 emissions by 0.000000027% will fix the biodiversity loss.

Having friends is bad OPSEC!

Signal people have already explained why they refuse federation.

Basically, looking at history of federated messaging protocols (SMS and email), they are permanently frozen in time, and haven’t had security improvements for decades.

Signal team considers this tradeoff unacceptable, as highly targeted individuals rely on Signal to always keep it’s security model up-to-date against the most capable adversaries.

Thanks, this makes sense

Yes.

GOS has compatibility issues, but they are unrelated to the sandbox and can be fixed with some tweaking.

And I still believe in having a curated primary digital fingerprint.

Could you please elaborate? I know what digital footprint is, minimizing and compartmentalization techniques, but not primary and curated digital footprint.

Your argument is extrapolating way too much. You constructed this overcomplicated chain of thought that supposedly proves GOS sold out because… They got a manufacturer to build hardware that meets GOS requirements?

This is no different from ZOG, deep state or Blackrock conspiracy theories.
