Basically this. I will pay for good coverage and news that doesn’t normalize insane bullshit.

I like your last point. The American people long ago fell asleep at the wheel. We either gobble up propaganda and vote for his insanity or don’t think it matters and sit out. Chickens are coming home to roost.

I have no faith in HP not to be all NIMBY about everything personally. Those people have their little enclave they paid a mint to get into and don’t want to change that.

I’d argue the people who thought their smug self righteousness was more important are shit myself.

But hey, now we all get to live in this hell right? Or not live I guess.

I think we should stop using their terms.

Llms spout BULLSHIT half the time. They don’t hallucinate. They confidently state incorrect garbage.

Agreed. The prices are already high and the huge crowds don’t make it better. Especially that little part at the end of sixth.

Really makes you wonder how stupid you have to be to listen to him talk and think he makes any sense at all.

Anyone got a similar periodical to recommend? I used to sub to them as their international coverage is great but I couldn’t stand the sanewashing of trump and his bullshit and refuse to return til their terrible editor in chief resigns or moves on.

What gets me is there is still people supporting this. I find it hard to imagine how we’ll ever progress given we can’t even agree on the problems to be solved.

Given how it’s amended I’m OK with it not. Seems to me it’d only get worse at this moment.

Anecdotal but Lemmy seems full of germaphobes. It’s whatever but just my observation.

I’ve lived long enough and dealt with this without getting sick so I also don’t really care personally.

Not necessarily. They can fail whenever and it seems they’re piling into more unstable assets like bitcoin vs treasury assets.

I wouldn’t trust it personally but that’s just me.

His name has been in the news too long for that IMO. I think he’ll flounder in the primary.

Mental shortcut to me is the easiest thing to look at.

It’s super easy to just default to something. It requires no thought, introspection, etc. Just a simple, quick answer that may or may not be right but you wouldn’t care.

So much of modern life is people defaulting to a lazy, easy option.

Some. But subscriber rates went up when they disabled sharing.

I’m like you and think some definitely bail but not enough for then to care.

My response concerned the duopoly though. Graphene is still dependent on google regardless. They can’t maintain all of android themselves even if they tried. So it’s the best of a bad situation but does nothing to alleviate the overall problem.

We somehow always top ourselves. Sadly enough.

The similarity to the wall street protests is exactly what comes to mind for me. At a certain point you need actionable goals and them to be clearly known.

If China wasn’t dealing with unknowns in their military due to corruption I think they definitely would. Still might.

Never watched any other videos of his but that Louis Rossmann has a good video about it.

In general I take all graphene claims with a grain of salt. They definitely slander other OS’s that aren’t even claiming to compete with them.
