Thanks for sharing!

Looks like this is the norm now, Technofeudalism is here, goodbye capitalism.

Following the censorship over the years, looks similar to what happened with legacy media (main stream media).

Quote included in post:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis

In short, the Internet opened the door to a much larger, more diverse, and more vibrant world than I would have otherwise been able to experience; and enabled me to be an active participant in, and contributor to, that world. All of this helped me to learn, and to grow into a more well-rounded person.

In recent years, it seems like the whole world has become more ornery. Maybe that has something to do with the pandemic, or with political disagreements. Whatever the reason, people have become faster to attack, and slower to recognize each other’s shared humanity. One aspect of this has been a constant barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users.

Fear can be a valuable tool, guiding us away from danger. However, fear can also be a mental cage that keeps us from all of the things that make life worth living. Individuals and families must be allowed to strike the right balance for themselves, based on their own unique circumstances and needs. A world of mandatory fear is a world ruled by fear – a dark place indeed.

Unfortunately, what is right doesn’t always prevail. As much as I wish circumstances were different, the stress and expense of this fight – coupled with the existing stress and expense of operating Omegle, and fighting its misuse – are simply too much. Operating Omegle is no longer sustainable, financially nor psychologically. Frankly, I don’t want to have a heart attack in my 30s.

Always a great day when you discover awesome covers!

Everything spys on us, not just tiktok. Yes, steps can be taken to lessen the spying, but in the end of the day we are just self censoring ourselves from other platforms.

Social media is here to stay and the masses use it as a way to get information/entertainment.

Making burner accounts are a thing, share information that goes against the status quo, I think that is admirable.

Only way people are exposed to certain viewpoints is by joining that bubble and going against the narrative.

In the end this gets complicated for various reasons, what do y'all suppose is the best course of action to go against the status quo?

Only the very best are selected, how lucky of you!

Oh, just saw Sabby Sabs talked about this.

Swing states are leaning toward Trump this time around.

Looks like it is getting closer to a three way race, RFK Jr. is hitting above 20 pts. according to polls.

Independents support for RFK Jr. increased after leaving dems.

When Dr. West and RFK Jr. are included in the poll questions, the numbers move around also.

edit: fix similarities typo

Awesome to see the similarities between: Newtonian Mechanics and Quantum mechanics

Coulomb's law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism and maybe even its starting point, as it allowed meaningful discussions of the amount of electric charge in a particle.

Here, ke is a constant, q1 and q2 are the quantit>ies of each charge, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges.

Being an inverse-square law, the law is similar to Isaac Newton's inverse-square law of universal gravitation, but gravitational forces always make things attract, while electrostatic forces make charges attract or repel. Also, gravitational forces are much weaker than electrostatic forces. Coulomb's law can be used to derive Gauss's law, and vice versa. In the case of a single point charge at rest, the two laws are equivalent, expressing the same physical law in different ways. The law has been tested extensively, and observations have upheld the law on the scale from 10−16 m to 108 m.

Not the dino nuggets!

Will the mammal nuggets take their place?

Yes, that is becoming the norm, similar to websites that want adblock removed or signin popups.

Aside from lemmy what do you use for info. and other?

Thanks!

I was thinking more like:

That was an awesome one!

Reminds me of an independent running for president, he is also really big in supporting Israel, like the republican ones.

Not to be confused with the other candidates that are calling for peace, 3rd party ones.

Always great when bipartisanship works for endless wars.

Seems to be the next step, if peace talks are not an option for US.

Israel war against Gaza is also taking some US attention from Ukraine, so this will help Ukraine, maybe...

I wonder what Putin will do next if Ukraine becomes more of a deefense state for US.

It does seem like it will be a long war similar to middle east conflicts.

Oh, damn...

Rare for me to use, but sucks option is being removed.

I know embedded is an option, and other front ends.

What do y'all use in the rare chance you see a reddit source?

Off topic thought I had when I saw this, more on the system being the problem.

This made me think of an interview with Richard Wolff and Lex Fridman.

Richard tries to explain his views on Marxism and Communism, #295.

He mentions problems with academia, and how it is tied to the corporate world.

Around 1:41:00, gov't/academics/corporations are all tied together in keeping the same system going.

To try and get back to topic, it may have to do with the kind of people needed to excel in competitive areas like a university/company/government.

Less on taking care of people and more on competing with each other to be the best...

Reminds me of sports and the fierce environment it produces. Some people adapt and become like them or they feel isolated.

Awesome!

Chilton County had 6x the infected amount...

The presence of the virus in Marshall County comes a week after HPAI was confirmed in an upland gamebird farm in Chilton County. All poultry there -- nearly 296,500 birds -- were affected and all will be killed by the end of the week, the department said.

It was not immediately clear if the cases at both farms were connected.

More than 344,000 birds killed in Alabama to stop spread of Avian flu

Looks like other countries are also dealing with a flu as well, that is recent news. Also pushing for more biosecurity measures and notifications of anomalies.

The outbreak detected in the northwestern state of Sonora killed 15,000 of a flock of 90,000 laying hens, and the remaining birds were slaughtered, the Paris-based WOAH said, citing Mexican authorities.

The ministry also said that the disease had been detected on another farm three kilometers away, which housed 54,000 birds, where disinfection was underway.

Russia, South Africa and parts of Eastern Europe have also reported concentrated outbreaks of the virus in recent months.

It comes after Mexico last year launched a large bird vaccination campaign in high-risk areas, including Sonora, to prevent the spread of H5N1.

Another statement from the Agricultural Ministry last week first announcing the detection of the virus said tests were underway to see if "the vaccine applied last year is effective in confronting the virus that entered in 2023."

Mexico's animal safety agency Senascia has urged local farmers to reinforce biosecurity measures on their farms and to immediately notify of any anomaly observed in their animals in order to protect the national poultry production, WOAH added.

Still have a year to go, so it may get worse or better.

Will be interesting to see how it goes, since RFK Jr. is doing double digits, but also has similar stance to Biden.

Yes, thanks for the link!

Great to know the difference!

Yeah, found the video randomly, and looked for the og one.

Thought it was a good skit, hahahaha

Thanks!
