- Comment on Donald Trump wants to control the Justice Department and FBI. His allies have a plan 2 days ago:
“He’s joking.” “You’re taking his words out of context.” “That’s not what he means.”
Trump is completely clear about his plans to overtake our government. If he wins, he very well may become our last president and first dictator.
- Comment on Farmers Hiding Bird Flu Cases in Cattle from the FedGov 2 days ago:
I saw it in a documentary a long time ago. I just looked myself, and it seems you’re right about it being their beef and not chicken.
The treatment designation is true. If a substance is added to food to be removed prior to consumption, it’s considered a treatment, and therefore does not have to be listed on the ingredients list.
- Comment on Farmers Hiding Bird Flu Cases in Cattle from the FedGov 3 days ago:
No joke. I was floored when I read that Mexico refused to import corn unless the FDA provided proof of full safety of the “Roundup ready” GMO corn and pesticides, and the FDA failed to respond with proof.
- Comment on Farmers Hiding Bird Flu Cases in Cattle from the FedGov 3 days ago:
In all fairness, the USDA has been useless for a long time.
Just one of many examples, treatments are not considered ingredients, so they don’t need to be disclosed to the consumer. McDonald’s takes mechanically separated chicken bits leftover from Tyson’s boning process, then mixes it with ammonia to kill bacteria, homogenizing it into a pink goo. That goo is pressed into one of four shapes, “breaded” and fried, and the ingredients list for McNuggets is not required to include ammonia.
- Comment on Farmers Hiding Bird Flu Cases in Cattle from the FedGov 3 days ago:
The USDA now requires a negative test for cattle to move across state lines, but no federal agency can mandate testing on the farms or go onto the farms without permission from the owners. Government requests to test farmers’ cows have mostly been ignored.
“You have to understand how they approach the world. They take on so much risk every day with what they do in their operation,” Naerebout said. “They are very reluctant on this issue or any other issue to have the government involved.”
So we have a feelings-based food supply. That’s probably fine.
- Comment on China poised to break 5nm barrier — Huawei lists 5nm processor presumably built with SMIC tech, defying U.S. sanctions | Huawei and SMIC quietly rolled out a new Kirin 9000C processor. 1 week ago:
Xiaomi is publicly traded, and Huawei was indirectly funded by the Chinese government with $75B in tax breaks. Good quality control in leading technology is very expensive. The losses from a manufacturing defect can be difficult to absorb, often leaving standards parallel to financing.

Have you seen knockoff iPhones that sell for 1/10 the cost of an iPhone? They’re not backed by a $2.7T corporation.

With proportionate quality control.
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 week ago:
I mistyped it the second time. The website states that the FCC adopted Net Neutrality in 2015.
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 week ago:
You’re right. It’ll only last as long as there’s a Democratic majority in the FCC. Even then, Brendan Carr stalled the recent reinstatement for six months.
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 week ago:
Are you suggesting I’m a bot because I took the time to get you the correct link?
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 week ago:
Sorry. I corrected it. Here it is again.

Yes, the internet was neutral by design, but not by legislation. The FCC made it law under Obama’s direction in 2017.
- Comment on Peter Thiel was trapped inside a student debating hall by pro-Palestine protesters accusing him of genocide 1 week ago:
As well. It was released in Safari in 2010, and Firefox in 2015.
- Comment on Peter Thiel was trapped inside a student debating hall by pro-Palestine protesters accusing him of genocide 1 week ago:
It’s built into Safari and therefore integrated into third-party Lemmy apps as well.
- Comment on Peter Thiel was trapped inside a student debating hall by pro-Palestine protesters accusing him of genocide 1 week ago:
Wasn’t on the table.
- Comment on Peter Thiel was trapped inside a student debating hall by pro-Palestine protesters accusing him of genocide 1 week ago:
This also works.

Reader Mode works on Apple devices
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 week ago:
It was enacted by the FCC under Obama’s direction in 2015.
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 week ago:
How do you figure? If they pay for fast lanes, then charge customers more, that’s operating cost, not profit.
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 week ago:
The thing that told them they can’t slow things down is Net Neutrality. That’s what this is. It was created under Obama, repealed under Trump, then reinstated under Biden. They didn’t speed up anything. The law was repealed, so they went back to price gouging large data users.
- Comment on FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole 1 week ago:
It’s also responsible for the last few years of streaming price hikes. ISPs throttle streaming services, customers complain, streaming services pay for fast lanes and pass the cost on to customers.
Fuck Ajit Pai and his orange overlord.
- Comment on “You Have Been Warned”: Republican Senators Threaten the ICC Prosecutor over Possible Israel Arrest Warrants 1 week ago:
Totally. Mitch McConnell’s pet project Katie Britt too.
- Comment on 85,000 Police Officers in the USA have been investigated or disciplined for misconduct over the past decade 1 week ago:
Sometimes they’re terminated, but since it’s more cost effective to hire an already trained officer, they usually just get rehired by another precinct. Officer training is now focused on threat neutralization over deescalation. It’s a systemic problem, and more than just some bad actors.
This was a large point of the BLM movement and protests. Republicans want an increased police presence, so the movement was attacked under the false narrative that it was black extremism.
- Comment on “You Have Been Warned”: Republican Senators Threaten the ICC Prosecutor over Possible Israel Arrest Warrants 1 week ago:
Here is the list of Senators that signed the threat:
Tom Cotton, Mitch McConnell, Marsha Blackburn, Katie Britt, Ted Budd, Kevin Cramer, Ted Cruz, Bill Hagerty, Pete Ricketts, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, and Tim Scott
- Comment on Risk your life with this one easy trick! 1 week ago:
Primarily, that’s true. Clean fill is also usually free from any large rocks that would make shoveling difficult.
- Comment on Risk your life with this one easy trick! 1 week ago:
It’s scientifically meaningless outside of “unwanted debris.”

It’s a shame we can’t grow a large enough potato.
- Comment on Biden Says He Told Nigeria to Kill Fewer Civilians — but Nigeria Keeps Killing Lots of Civilians 2 weeks ago:
Why does that bullshit about Reagan keep popping up?
First of all, that was prior to the start of the Israel-Iran proxy conflict in 1985 that is still occurring today.
Secondly, Reagan cut back foreign aid, which included humanitarian aid, from Israel and then provided military aid under the express agreement that they use it to attack Lebanon.
He wasn’t “being tough” on Israel. He was telling them where to point their weapons.
- Comment on The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down 2 weeks ago:
Sure, open source will always have the potential for the most privacy, assuming the user is savvy enough to maintain security. The article was primarily focused on Apple’s hold of the smartphone market. In the US, the only real competition is Android. Google is transparent about their consumer data use, and they also don’t offer much in the form of personal information privacy outside of encrypted RCS. For example, third-party apps can access user data and enable hardware APIs without first requiring user permission.

The consumer personal computer industry.
