  How does that even logic?

  This rhetoric is very dangerous. It’s fueling censorship specifically targeting marginalized people

  This one looks like a long runner. It feels a bit repetitive though

  I was the lead engineer behind the graphite tips rods at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and I helped Boeing design MCAS for the 737 max

  microprocessors are kind of the exception, really. but yes we’ve had regression in product quality in exchange for lower prices and even then not so much anymore

  I’ve been dailying linux since 2010 and it’s gotten way easier. stuff that didn’t work just does now. remember printer and wi-fi driver hell? now it works worse on windows if anything. games and some proprietary software are the only anchors, and that’s kinda going away slowly

  it does it to pictures of real 12 year olds and nudes too, not just the nazi bikinis (but also that)

  I mean, yeah, but it’s one thing if some perv’s running it on their own box after reading 5 guides vs. elon musk having a tiwtter bot that does it for you without even trying to stop it from doing that even after knowing it’s doing it. the former is unavoidable, the latter is a choice he’s made for some fucking reason

  So they’re just gonna get away with it?

  Do the “safety measures” fix the problem? I don’t want to check myself

  They’re rather lose than change

  There is no chance president newsom or whatever snake they pick will abolish ICE. Bet on even more funding. Basic pattern recognition from the last several Administrations shows us this is the most likely outcome

  People are fighting back and it seems like it’s working

  Now this I do and I’m glad it helps

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we need more users⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. If news headlines and Linux are your jam you’re all set already. That’s enough to keep me coming back but I aggressively join new communities as they’re made to support them. I only post rarely though, do I only do so much as of now

  I heard that a lot of that stuff had lead in it, making it useless for eating with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stanley cups are just cups that people are way too excited about for some reason. Anime figurines, depends on if.they like the anime too. If not, they’re not worth anything. Retro consoles are cool but there are emulators

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it wouldn’t even be hard to make small appliances or even major appliances that were designed with repairability first, we just need somebody to hurry up and design such a thing and get the parts manufactured

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes sense. I suppose it’s similar to me buying an anime figurine but at least I’m not under any pretense it’s going to be worth something someday and it’s up in the air whether anyone want to inherit it. It kind of sucks how much marketing has manufactured stuff out of thin air that we’re all just supposed to go with despite it being totally artificial.

  it’s furniture adapted to the different needs we have. little space, frequent moving. cheap furniture that only has to last until the next change in space usage renders it obsolete

  why did they collect all that? was it for fancy dinners that almost never happened?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what caused it? was it stuff all of a sudden becoming cheaper than places to put it? was it wisdom passed down from parents who experienced the great depression. an ideological commitment to assigning moral worth to wealth and by extension material possessions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom with the real questions ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  stuff used to be more expensive relative to wages, especially electronics. our parent’s generation were from a time where a TV cost 3 months rent. now a month of rent is 3 TVs. this also accounts for “you’re poor but you have an iPhone” discourse
