Divide and conquer. Non state-actors and special interest have a far easier time attacking a hundred small entities than one big one. Because people have much less bandwidth to track all this shit than it is to spread it around. See ALEC and the strategy behind state rights.

In the end this is about economic power. The only way to curb it is through a democratic government. Lemmy servers too can be bought and sold and the communities captured that grew on them.

Yes. Cooperatives = co-ops. Let the workers (and possibly users) elect management and what to invest profits into.

But what if the magnets reprogram your brain to just not notice thee differences? Ever think of that? Obviously you can only question the infernal power of the heliomagnetism while wearing a tinfoil hat.

Easy. Nationalize social media and turn them into democratic cooperatives with the mandate to enforce strict moderation on hate speech.

In the article they say it’s likely a femicide, gender based violence. Misogyny is hatred of women - especially when they are not obedient or leave a man. So nothing really new.

What is new is social media and neoliberal control for profit, and a complete lack of accountability and moderation to stem the tide of hate speech.

Shhhh! Isn’t MAGA basically reading uplifting news to decide what next to destroy?

Hakas will continue until morale improves

To be fair, the FDA was incompetent / hamstrung in many other areas before. The overriding purpose was to increase profit.

They, at least they are trying something new :D

Only like 3.5% of the world’s population lives in the US. So if you happen to live in a country that has been negatively affected by US foreign policy in the last 50 years and don’t much care what happens to people inside the US right now, or what labels and pins they put on their jackets, yeah there is little difference between red and blue. Like if you ignore what ideological they profess to and simply look at their actions on other countries.

Empathy can be “disabled” though certain ideology or religion. Saying such radical things like “no difference” is an attempt help people snap out of this “sociopathic trance”. Or at worst an attempt to mock or scold you for defending an imperialist regime that has caused countless deaths and immense suffering over the last 7 decades.

Obviously this is futile. And lemmy is much more pleasurable when blocking such people.

If you imagine some kind of multi year “relationship education” instead of just sex ed where all kids at ~14 learn about pathological psychology and all the ways people can manipulate you or fuck you over I imagine it would be far less off a problem.

I believe most image generating models are too small (like only 4GB RAM). Deepseek R1 is 1.5TB ram (or half or quarter that at reduced precision) to get some semblance of “general knowledge”. So to get the “semantics” of an image right, not just the “syntax” you’d need bigger models and probably more data describing images. Of course, do we really want that?

Yeah neoliberals… the reason they want that is to get cheap laborers. Can’t believe they are so brazen about it.

I think ultimately we need to design an economic system that allows less work and less consumption. You want those outsourced jobs to come back but done by robotics. Coming back to stop needing to ship them halfway across the world, wasting energy. But we need to have a clear(er) vision to what we want to transition to. Like a partially planned and circular economy that covers the basic needs (food, living space, education, news, healthcare) for everyone for free. Otherwise there is nothing to believe in.

Well, did he get his phone?

You can predict what likely happens next: more neoliberal policies and degradation of quality of life. In one of the next election the fascists take over Canada. They never learn.

Weirder? Interesting, like how for example?

Sorry don’t know, I only see it in the settings of the default webUI

The US will not allow them to take Taiwan, too much at stake. Doubtful we’ll initiate.

But the US already did since Biden. They named Taiwan an “important strategic military partner” which goes much further. Basically the US is putting it’s finger on the map halfway around the world right in front of China’s doorstep and saying “this is ours” while China says it is theirs. Obviously Taiwan DID belong to greater China and even though I don’t especially support reunification it’s a slap in the face. Instead of letting sleeping dogs lie.

It’s always the press and people portraying the US has not doing anything but inviting countries into their military alliance. It’s dangerous warmongering. Yes, and the same happened in Ukraine.

I can see the opinions after another proxy war breaks out, oh those evil Chinese devils / yellow orcs! Appeasement doesn’t work, they want to gobble up all the world like Hitler!

Hopefully China is smarter or the USA collapses before that can happen.

Reading the headline I thought this would be about something space related, like unfolding solar sails.

And if it could distinguish better, it could also generate better.
