I don’t think it can be overstated how far Apple and Tim are straying from their core values with this and the intelligence failures.
It’s bad enough Tim really only made the Watch in his nearly 15y as CEO. His recent capitulation to the Regime and now this, it’s time to go buddy.
You’re good at feeding shareholders and doing the stock buyback thing, but that’s not really what apple is. All of what apple is and you tried to mimic failed: the car, the ski goggles, the power mat and most recently “intelligence”.
These are the signs a company has peaked and is just trying to ride the past successes.
Thanks to Musk and Trump he of course looks like a half decent business leader, but when all the veils of secrecy are lifted and the privacy promises turn out to be empty, there isn’t much left.

Not anymore. They are pushing for a law that will make it legal for the regime to disappear US citizens. And almost nobody is talking about it

Only fighting when you’re certain of victory is actually the smart way of doing combat. Nothing to do with fascists or cowards.
I think what you mean is that they will only pick on the weak and indefensible. That’s what’s going on. This isn’t even a fight, they are snapping them off the street without warning. And it isn’t a victory either, as they are fast tracking mass outrage.
We’re being played, as is always the case with Trump. He’s dictating the things we get outraged by, day by day. He wants the outrage, because he needs the pretext for Martial Law. That’s the fight he wants, and the victory they seek: total consolidation of power, so he can crown himself king.
Hitler too, only had a vocal minority before he rose to power.

I wouldn’t say there is no secret agenda. It’s clear the administration is not in the loop of what the secret agenda is. Their blatant anti-everything-non-white and overall incompetence and ignorance is enough right now to keep the divide and conquer going.

Based on the upvote ratio of this very legitimate question, a majority of USA-landers who want to live in a country with a stupid second amendment, are actually too chicken to use the provisions it provides.

- Comment on Dutton refuses to rule out ABC cuts and repeatedly declines meeting with chair Kim Williams, sources say 1 month ago:
Well at least where I am, the Libs have covertly run independents to confuse the playing field and offer a moderate right candidate or something. Independents isn’t a guarantee for success, there is at least a 1% chance you’ll get someone who’s only slightly better than a party line drone.
And there’s also the Greens.
- Comment on Dutton refuses to rule out ABC cuts and repeatedly declines meeting with chair Kim Williams, sources say 1 month ago:
Albanese isn’t perfect, and if you can vote independent, do so, but Dutton just isn’t a good person. That’s all that matters. Anyone who’s ever met him and couldn’t offer him money or media attention he just shrugs off and walks past. Don’t vote for empty souls.

I think it’s clear that the answer to that is not enough, so why don’t you point me towards the nearest library with a Lemmy history section?

Ty. That stuff should be available in mobile clients too. It could definitely be better visually represented and contain a reason and a defederated since date or more.
Also an explanation that addresses my other example about downvote brigading a tertiary instance.

Thx. I saw the rule. @ mods I’m fine if you want to remove this.
I think federation needs to be better explained possibly here either with a sticky or sidebar. And a diagram of who we are federated with and not that’s live updated would be helpful too.
Thanks for all the work you guys do
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 month ago:
Ok thanks. I’m a little confused by what that means for voting. Is it possible that anti authoritarian posts or comments still get downvote- brigaded by an instance that is technically defederated from the instance of the OP?
So let’s say instance A and B are defederated from each other, but both are with instance C. User from A posts something on C and every B user still gets to downvote everything to oblivion right?
So .ml is effectively r/TheDonald and we can’t do much against brigading?

- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 month ago:
Ok, perhaps I don’t. Can you explain what people mean when they call for “defederating from” an instance then?
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 month ago:
Well argued.
I didn’t post it, I just saved it somewhere on .ml and it is gone, and found it back on !progressivepolitics@lemmy.world
My question stands though, I sense that “political” is used fairly broadstrokely It almost means “complicated, longer than 5 second attention span” stuff.
With political meaning “relating to the government or public affairs of a country”, e.g. a broad definition too. However, a free person being essentially abducted on the street by plain clothes “law enforcement” could perhaps be seen as a humanitarian, civil liberty, freedom of speech, and some many others before it being just “political”.
Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this or is a bit of an analogy to the r/TheDonald situation on Reddit? As in: I hope that we don’t slide the same way.
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 month ago:
I’m not complaining about bans. I’m trying to have a debate on why tankie-land needs to be part of this?
