  • I'm not even sure what words to use to describe how I feel about those numbers here in Germany. The only way I can see to get out of this is if Trump and his government quickly(!!) "destroy" the US in a major and visible way.

    The still ongoing tariff nonsense is one way, but it is not severe enough and Europeans aren't connecting the dots between one incompetent populist (Trump) and the populists they have at home.

    I've been hearing about (soon-to-be, if Trump doesn't back down) empty ports, which may lead to empty shelves in supermarkets. If this becomes big enough that social media is full of people showing empty local supermarkets and the regular media has no choice in turning this into a big story, we might have a chance.

    Not that I have any real hope this is would actually change anything ...

  • Ok, but the genie is already out of the bottle. Arguing like this is kinda pointless.

    I don't think it will be possible to get them off social media (or the internet in general), so you need to find ways to make it work.

    E.g. minors can not be advertised to, no algorithmic content, no doom-scrolling, and heightened data protection. I think teenager should get access to as much as possible to reduce the "risk" of them trying to go around it. "Their" version of social media might even be the superior one in the end.

    If the world wasn't on fire at the moment, people could calmly discuss possible solutions and propose laws in every country to actually protect their children from e.g. the stuff mentioned in the linked article. Sadly, this isn't going to happen ...

  • What a shit show. (Not an American, btw)

    I wonder, how many "both sides" Americans who didn't vote (or voted third party) expected Democrats to win anyway. This way they could feel smug for not "voting for genocide" while still getting the clearly better option.

    Now they have to pretend they didn't fuck up and act as if having a "protect the status quo" democrat wouldn't have been any better.

  • The warm feeling of helping billionaires in need of a new yacht?

    Not enough? Fine, here is another great benefit: The money will also go to fund and expend the new US gestapo ICE. Soon, ICE won't just go after 'Mexican looking' people, but also anyone critical of Trump, so they really need more people.

  • I technically have a Win10+Linux dual boot setup right now, but I haven't used the Linux install in forever, and I think it's broken. So I'll probably fix this and then use Linux when possible and continue using the unsupported win10 for everything that needs windows.

    I remember people mentioning the win10 LTCS version with 10 years support, but I'm not going to buy anything from them. Maybe I'll use it unactived if needed.

  • I agree, but in this case, I think it doesn't really matter if it is true. Either way, it is hilarious. If it is false, it shows how shitty AI hallucination is and the bad state of AI.

    Should the authors who publish this mention how likely this is all just a hallucination? Sure, but I think Musk is such a big spreader of misinformation, he shouldn't get any protection from it.

    Btw. Many people are saying that Elon Musk has (had?) a small PP and a botched PP surgery.

  • I don't think that most republicans believe they need Greenland for security reasons, but so what? They might as well, or it would be better if they did at least believe this, because the person they voted for and are still supporting is acting like a lunatic. And they are cheering him on, or at least condoning it.

    I do believe that that plenty of republicans like Trump threatening former allies like a big and strong businessman/mob boss would do. The same goes for those who think they should grab Greenland for the resources, or just because they can.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like covid and him wanting to keep his factories open was when his mask came off completely. People on the right cheered him on, and those on the left finally realized that he isn't a good person nor cares about people.

    This then caused a cycle. The left was "mean" and the right celebrated him even more.
