How can I pass all my internet usage through California?

memes: easy as F to produce propaganda for the rich of any country to use on the poor of any other country

Does it still save in one of the most basic but still GIGANTIC file sizes?

Don’t negotiate. Take your money out of big pharma. They’re only doing this to “make money for their investors”. If you know anyone who is invested, they are living off of blood money. Cancel big pharma.

You know who the real enemy in all of this is…

Anyone is making a fraction of a cent off of squeezing the literal life out of American citizens by keeping their money invested in “big pharma”. I am more than sure there are walking hypocrites out there that have had a loved one die while making money off their death.

If you care about this issue, tell everyone you know to de-invest in these companies.

Fuck them and their sociopathic ways.

Good. I’m surprised that all governments havn’t banned this chinese spyware.

1.) its usually a single persons job to do “social media outreach”, not most of the employees

2.) People shouldn’t be using their personal devices to do government work, period.

3.) slippery slope? why would someone use queer dating apps on their GOVERNMENT device? this is a stupid argument

4.) This is about GOVERNMENT, not private business. You are conflating the two.

So, i was feeling pretty apocalyptic about this too - until it learned that “micro plastics” include any synthetic fibers like polyester. i mean, of course our clothing lint will get everywhere

naw man, fuck that the only thing water boarding (and torture in general) does is get people to say whatever they can to make it stop. I just realized… with that as a tool, you could get any name you want out of anyone you’re torturing :(

Give a man AI and he’ll make a meme

teach a man AI and he’ll make money making memes

Holy shit thank you! THANK YOU!

I didn’t know this was an option!

THANK YOU!!!

Sir, I am from reddit - It’s bold of you to assume i read the article

I haven’t seen the film or heard much about it, only seen a preview before gaurdians but

How is this film QAnon-adjacent?

(and how is it that anti-pedophilia is now only a right wing thing when the church has been fucking children for decades? dont let em have it…)

oh its 5 planes? I thought this was some kind of laser that somehow activated the sky’s icecrystals like … sigh … "chem"trails. (they are not ‘chem’ trails, they are atmospheric disturbances caused by planes)

couldn’t drones do this?

Saint Peter, don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go

I owe my soul to the company store

I understand the need for nuclear. We HAVE to stop using carbon emitting forms of energy.

But I have never supported nuclear in the United States. Time and time and time again, history shows that corporations will water down the regulations around an industry. To the point of collapse. The problem is, when nuclear goes bad, its REALLY bad.

We can’t even get our fucking TRAINS to their destination without greed derailing them.

how many fucking oil spills have we had because of lax safety? remember the Deepwater Horizon oil spill? that was due to lax safety regulations, all in the name of profit.

Please, tell me:

Why in the flying fuck should I trust the regulations around nuclear energy to hold?

Whatever you say, I’m not going to believe you. Not until the fucking lawyers of the corporations stop writing the laws for the congressmen to sign without reading or understanding.

What the FUCK is going to stop ‘big nuclear’ from re-writing regulations?

I want the regulations around nuclear to be so tight, no capitalist will want to operate under it. I want several rubber bands and a vice around the balls of whoever is running it.

I even think maybe corporations can’t be trusted with it, and all nuclear energy should fall exclusively under the management of the DoD.

Im not there yet. Help me get addicted to Lemmy, please.

Eh, no. Mathematics is an hallucination of ours we are trying to desperately map onto reality. I say this as a mathematician. When you look out into our reality, you know what we see? A curved universe. There is nothing in our reality that is truely STRAIGHT.

YET, we creatures came up with such an unnatural thing as a straight line. Straight lines are a uniquely human hallucination. Its the logic we use to make sense of the world, but its a Rorschach test of our own making. You are attaching meaning to it because thats what our brains do. generate meaning out of chaos.

I need to look no further than pi, which is a number that represents our feeble attempts to push the round universe into our square heads. Its trying to represent the curved universe as a straight line (and visavers) - and reality said : LOL, NOPE!! YOU get a number that is more illusive than the irrationals. A never ending non patterned number.

All of nature is not based on mathematics. Mathematics is the language we use to describe nature. Thats like saying the Grand Canyon is BASED on book describing the Grand Canyon.

1.) No its not. Its our language, not nature’s.

2.) To a degree, yes. But thats because our brains are pattern seeking and pattern generating machines - not because nature follows a system WE made up.

3.) Did I mention Pi yet

THIS is a graph of a discovery that I made in number theory. Does it look like it has a pattern to you? I think this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, because IT MAKES NO SENSE. which means, we still have a lot to discover and learn

To quote the first words of the old Dune movie:

“A beginning is a very delicate time.”

What we should all take responsibility for is the health and quality of the community. We should be more active citizens, instead of the passive “consumers” we’ve all been corporately groomed to be.

I think more instances are the answer because this activity can’t be cheap. maybe Lemmy.world splits off into 2 or 4 instances. Lemmy1.world etc

This dynamic will have to stabilize in costs. I don’t know what that looks like.
