i’m surprised to learn that anyone was still using tape.

some people did it for the funsies – like platner

Nobody is ready because you can’t really prepare for something like that.

no, but you can atleast try to guard for the things that happened the last time it happened.

because horseshoe theory. lol

wikipedia is like google or facebook – we’re going to be stuck w it for a very long time

the real irony here is that the american version gets shutdown immediately if a gun is found among the pep rally goers protestors

this meme should add a panel to the top saying something to the effect that the us empire’s congress voted to ban weapons shipments to ukraine in 2018 because of the nazis – it seems to help disprove the accusation that this narrative is nothing more than russian propaganda.

i wish that show would come back so i could get some more shoreleave. lol

Isn’t [obama] [black] why is he a [racist]? Also those bullet points do not help his case lmao. Very Orwellian

switched out words to help you see why this argument doesn’t work.

It’ll blow back on me because it’s literally me, my manager and a fresh grad new hire. Lol

And anything I could do would hurt the people we serve MUCH MORE than the people at the top of the organization.

The Australians and Western Europeans being surprised by the same Latin America style political shenanigans perpetrated on them by the american government to prevent them from going commie – or obstructing the Epstein class in Australia’s case – feels so much more satisfying than proving a maga wrong and I think betrays acculturation as an American.

why do you think that distinction matters in this context?

– but only if it’s based. :p

good thing that downvotes can only be used to suppress narratives on lemmy. lol

And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work.

i feel this in my soul since i’m the only one responsible for an abandoned code base with only a part time fresh graduate too inexperienced to help – i’ve lost track of the number of rabbit holes that would have been impossible without gemini.

they used this slogan back in the day to sucker in a lot of people into using their services at a time when google was too new to be trusted.

and this strategy is used so heavily that you can see it in many examples like the heritage foundation.

i love it when someone unintentionally points out how american i am. lol

and you’re right, collectivization is stronger outside the united states.

yeah, the hauwei route seems to be the only avenue that western world can’t stop them; but i’m still salty about my xiaomi being blacklisted in the united states despite having had used it for almost 2 years before hand – it’s the nicest phone i’ve ever had and now it’s a paperweight. lol

not if the western world keeps black listing their phones at a rate slow enough to keep westerners unaware that it’s happening.

the tech sector has always been a labor aristocracy and will never organize as a result.
