Why is your first reaction to attack the left, when the right is standing in front of you?

I’m curious as to how this manifests when advanced security is enabled. Advanced security on iCloud is supposed to make photos and many other services e2ee.

We do not have the option to ignore the opinions of billionaires. Their opinions become government policy through lobbying and it impacts us all.

No, not quite. I’m saying musk has never believed in the free market in his life and has never argued in good faith. All of those wealthy types know exactly what they are doing. They publicly embrace a fake ideal of free market economics up until they no longer have to put up the facade.

Optimistic thinking! But I’m afraid such protests are futile for many reasons. The biggest issue is that refusing to vote has no visibility; it is not like a real protest or real activism. You simply disappear in numbers small enough to not matter, and those in power will continually claim the power until contested.

There is no reconciling with those in power through pacifism. History teaches us this time and time again. Continue to vote while you can, and remember Trotsky’s ideals for when things go bad.

  1. Never trust the ruling class
  2. Control your leaders
  3. Have confidence in your own abilities

Yes. He isn’t concerned with the concepts of lying or telling the truth or even being coherent and rational. He simply states whatever he needs to at a given moment to elevate himself or give himself an advantage. I don’t think he goes through the rational pause most people do before they lie. He doesn’t think about it at all.

Yeah, they’re not leaving. The only way they would leave is if the service were to be physically shut down. Pretty sure you could make everyone watch 1 minute long ads on app open and they would still stay.

Come to the midwest of the USA. You'll find all of that shit out here, too, if you know where to look.

We compete for that spot

Saw that going around. It has been debunked though.
