Oof. Cringey mod censorship.

What is this, Reddit?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Department of Homeland Security Is Demanding That Google Turn Over Information About Random Critics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
You couldn’t because of mod censorship.

Looks like Reddit mods also get banned then come here to satiate their superiority complex.

Honestly, the Lotion Pit is better interior decorating than modern “is it a home or the surface of the sun oh my god everything is so bland and white” interior design.

I’m old enough to remember 70s design still being normal and life just felt way cooler.

Funny how when you let conservatives have power your rights start being infringed upon.

Anyway, I wonder how Palestine is doing.

Yup. Middle finger. It’s a large hand person thing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i mean⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The first time I picked it up my hands were already large enough that it just felt normal to have each hand on the outer grips. I’ve been called a freak. Feared by children and scorned by adults. I was cast out of my village. Given no quarter.

It’s been a lonely life, but I yam what I yam.

Fun Fact: Holding it that way makes it a lot easier to break the joystick since you’re putting force on it from an angle. As an adult I’ve had to order after market joysticks with thicker sticks to replace the ones I broke as a kid. They’re actually much better with way smoother movement.

Big claims require big proof. But I bet all you have is a hunch.

I work alongside law enforcement. Part of my job involves helping detectives follow the instructions Apple/Google provide to them for downloading and unencrypting people’s phone data once a judge has given permission for them to request it from Apple/Google.

Now, I’m not familiar with “Lockdown Mode”. Maybe that uses separate encryption to encrypt data stored on your phone that ISN’T cloud synced data. But even then, if that Lockdown Mode is software created by the manufacturer, then they could have the decryption algorithm to decrypt it and I wouldn’t trust it. I would only trust open-source encryption software, like Veracrypt.

Bottom line is I’m here to guarantee you that if the data is synced with a cloud, it absolutely can be obtained by law enforcement.

Not that it’s particularly relevant, but typically when law enforcement get into the data, it’s usually because they have reasonable suspicion and it’s usually kiddie porn or chat logs proving they were trying to meet up with underage individuals. And I’m here to tell you that shit is way more prevalent than I think most people realize.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Reminder that none of your data is safe on a cloud. Law enforcement can get a judge to sign off and make Google/Apple decrypt your cloud data and give it to them.

If you really want your data private you have to put it on an encrypted hard drive. Recommend Veracrypt.

I mean I play the games either way.

So whether companies learn to make their games affordable for the vast majority of Americans who are cash strapped or not is irrelevant to me.

I’m just wondering how long it takes these companies to realize how many others like me there are out there and that they could be making a lot more money if they just made prices reasonable.

I actualy finally have a decent income and I still do what I do if the price isn’t fair, just out of spite.

Looks like we’re going to end up a crossover of North Korea and Russia.

All because conservatives hate America and enough others don’t give enough of a fuck to stop conservatives from destroying America.

Doesn’t stop one from posting “Google wiki icelist”.

icelist.is

There’s also an archive where people are taking screenshots of fascists who post on social media that includes their real names and photos.

We’re a heavily propagandized nation.

A lot of people know our healthcare is fucked, but many have accepted it because they think the alternative is worse. Because they’ve been told so by healthcare lobbyists.

American here.

I pay dearly for my health care and I still had to wait 6 months for an appointment with a specialist only to find out immediately after sitting down with him that I had been sent to the wrong place AND charged extra for it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You guys pay your medical bills?

Last time, I was told to go to a specialist. Called, was told the soonest appointment was 6 MONTHS OUT. Waited 6 months in pain. Went. Was there for 5 minutes when the specialist looked at my record and said I wasn’t supposed to have been sent to him, and sent me packing. Charged me $420 for that “appointment”. Never paid it. Don’t know if they ever garnished my wages or not. Never heard about it.

I’m not going to help them fuck me.

Your party claimed he was a threat but did nothing to stop it.

You mean they didn’t make conservatives vote liberal or take every dipshit that voted 3rd party or didn’t vote back to school to give them a proper education?

Oof. Censorship. Rare on Lemmy, but still present. Thanks for your hard work. You’re making a difference.

Everyone walking around with misinformation devices in the palm of their hands isn’t working out so well.

I like that you think Americans allowing a carnival barker (rapist, felon, pedophile, insurrectionist) to become president, twice, is the Dem’s/liberal’s fault.

My child, that shit falls squarely on Americans.

It’s not like these were confusing elections. Dems should have been able to run a fucking goldfish and win. Because Americans should have seen the clear and present danger the Republican party and their pedophile leader posed. But they didn’t. Because Americans are dumb and the majority of the blame falls on them.

Because many were stupid enough to vote for 3rd party candidates that literally could not win, and even more chose to stay home like a bunch of dumbfuck little bitches.

Found the dipshit that thinks not voting leads to something better.

It was also the only strategy last election, but millions of idiots still voted for non-starter 3rd party candidates or didn’t vote.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
So you’re blaming Dems being weak for Republicans being fascist?

Next are you going to blame the rape victim for not fighting back hard enough?

Dems haven’t done enough. That doesn’t mean they made this all happen. Republicans made this happen. Period.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

their only policy for the last 10 years is we are not Trump, despite every other indicator showing that they are.

Criticize the Dems. I’m not saying they don’t deserve it.

But that statement is irresponsible. Dangerous even.

The last time Dems were in power American citizens weren’t being executed in the streets in broad daylight by an immigration agency 1300 miles from the southern border. The last Dem president wasn’t sending a Gestapo into American cities to terrorize American citizens to instigate pushback so he could cancel elections. The last Dem president didn’t corruptly use the National Guard to take over Washington DC. The last Dem president didn’t instruct his DOJ to openly defy the law.

I can’t believe this continues to need to be repeated but THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Not Republican isn’t enough though.

We can’t have a repeat of a bunch of bumbling dipshits voting for non-viable 3rd party candidates that literally cannot win or not voting at all.

I will be voting for whatever Dem candidate is on the ticket. Because I’m tired of feds infringing on our rights and executing American citizens in the streets and the most likely way to make that stop is by voting for whatever Democrat is on the ticket.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
A 3rd party candidate that can’t possibly win because they’re from a non-viable party that isn’t actually trying to be viable and who has zero representatives in Congress.

Or maybe I just wouldn’t vote. It’s all so corrupt anyway.

PSYCHE!!!

I’m not a fucking blithering idiot. I’d vote for the candidate most likely to defeat Republicans/Fascists. So the Dem candidate. Whatever Dem candidate.

Because I’m not a fucking idiot.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
1. Buy a gun. Or two. Train. Help others buy and train. Many people just need that little push from someone that knows more about the process than them. It’s a whole hell of a lot more difficult to oppress people who are armed to the teeth. Just watched a video of armed protestors in Philadelphia. The cops show up, try to get them to stand down. They don’t. The cops end up leaving. There’s your proof.
2. Hold conservatives in your life accountable however you see fit. If that means cutting them off, that means cutting them off.
3. Fight misinformation wherever you see it by correcting it with facts. Even if it seems pointless. You aren’t commenting for the benefit of the piece of shit you’re trying to correct. You’re commenting for the other people that end up reading it and learning from it.
4. Read the CIA’s “Simple Sabotage” handbook, which is available online. Do anything in it that you can reasonably do, ESPECIALLY if you work for the federal government.
5. Support and protect your neighbors, assuming they aren’t conservatives. Do not aid or abet any conservative in any way, shape, or form. Do your due diligence and make sure any business you’re spending your money with doesn’t have conservative ties. Google the owner’s name and check their social media. Make sure they aren’t conservative.
6. Vote. Every. Single. Time. In every election, no matter how small.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s been over a decade.

These aren’t confused people anymore.

They. Are. Traitors.

They are traitors who will do anything, up to and including electing a felon rapist insurrectionist who regularly violates the Constitution and sends a masked unaccountable secret police force to harass and murder Americans, in order to get what they want.

That’s not confusion. That’s malicious intent.

If you want to know how to make traitors stop being traitors. If you want to know how to make fascists stop being fascists. Well, I’m not totally sure I wouldn’t get banned for the answer. I definitely would on Reddit.

Those of us who passed our history classes have been trying for a decade to get people to help vote us in the opposite direction of this. That didn’t work. Now it’s happening and there’s no easy way out of this.
