Imagine thinking those were bad things! That's close to 50% of the US voting population (and I'd like to pretend it was only them, but the rest of the world isnt necessarily better).

How the fuck did we get here? Actually scratch that, i know that humans are greedy, tribal animals who are driven by biological urges only sometimes obscured by higher level thought. The bigger question is how the fuck did we manage to make it as far as we have?

I don't think anyone seriously thinks you can actually get rid of cars entirely, but rather they're annoyed that everything is built around the idea that you drive everywhere. This is damaging to the environment, human health, and probably even stifles community and culture.

Cash flow at twitter remains negative because I don't understand the business.

No idea, but I refuse to use it on principle. They are still some small communities in Reddit that I stay part of, but I come to Lemmy first.

They spent most of the 20th century telling us that Russia was the biggest threat to the world. 25 years later Russia starts invading its neighbouring countries and the halfwits are taking the Russian side.

This is hardly surprising. It's immediately noticeable in images, but we'll have to be very careful with other forms of output as the decline could be subtle enough to go unnoticed at first. There's a very real risk of poisoning our sources of data by allowing AI to write back to them without oversight. And given that the sources of data seem to be things like Reddit and twitter this is a real concern.

Threads has not launched in Europe because it breaks European laws. Yet 100M people jumped straight on it.

I don't really get what the hate was for Google+, it was better than the alternative/competitor at the time (Facebook)

He's Australian, we're used to getting screwed on pricing for everything.

I'm getting around this by having no posters or subscribers on the community I created.

It's a bit sooner than I'd expected
