I feel like it should be tacked on as a bell curve to older generations too lol. My grandmother and my parents are absolutely hopelessly addicted to Facebook reels, scrolling them nonstop throughout the day, just connecting those ads and wild algorithm messaging with those little dopamine hits.

I remember spending hours tinkering with Linux in my bedroom as a kid and being yelled at for being antisocial and not spending enough time off the computer.

How the turns have tabled

Palantir laughs quietly

What in the name of my dental health

To quickly move financial assets out from the country in a way that is difficult or impossible to reverse or track

I don’t know if they still use this saying, but I like it:

“When in doubt, pray.
When in prayer, doubt.”

I mean, walking by and seeing

How could you not?

Which one was that?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Android_smartphones

Which carrier?

The freedom of Android means that there are tens of thousands of variations of devices / os versions / carriers all with different states of being close or far to vanilla and being more or less locked down. There’s a reason Graphene only officially supports Pixels.

Palantir has more data on more people in the world likely than any other corporation, and Peter Thiel is trying to wield it to collapse global democracy, so yes

I would say that psychologically it’s the addiction of power. We toe the line where “competition” creates the dopamine release of “being better than others.”

Yet for some that means it’s never enough. Richest person in the world? Need to take over government. Most powerful world leader? Need to assert myself even more.

I think the great filter often boils down to unnecessary competition. In the short term it leads to technological strides, but in the long term it becomes a species self-harm, and perhaps broader. A good theoretical example is

pills

Yeah and even better that most of them basically ignored him at the end of the parade. None of them want to be a dictator’s servant

Maybe that should be the new wiki image for

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment

Which is part of why he’s butthurt it had eras of military technology instead of the classic dictatorship parade of “we moved all of our functional armor here so the oppressed citizens are more fearful about who is oppressing them”

But did you think about the shareholders

Not to worry, it’s made in china, shipped from china, and then people in detention centers will be forced by ICE to package it for that bonus fascism feel for those that believe it’s made in the US and and they’re getting a deal on the T-Mobile package that costs almost 2x other providers for the same service.

Yeah there was just recently a top post on lemmy on whether or not people believe that Trump ignoring federal judges is illegal. I haven’t seen evidence that his administration is following through on any of these rulings, rather that it’s just dragging its feet until there’s no more judges to make the rulings.

Yeah lol the mic is definitely always connected to Palantir on this bad boy

Yeah had to swap out a steam deck joystick and scooped one up from iFixit and it was wonderfully easy to swap. That being said, being able to switch them out on my dualsense edge without a screwdriver and just having a switch on the back of the controller is really neat. Definitely my favorite controller I’ve owned, I just wish more PC games supported the haptics.

Only can Petahertz rise from the ashes of darkness and re-engineer the Universe before the incoming Heat Death

As long as you can disconnect them from the stream of misinformation that still flows in the media and social media. As an example my brother is a MAGA that would highly benefit from realizing nothing about MAGA will help him, yet when he sees the LA Protests, all he sees are “Protestor shoots other shooter in LA riots” alongside photos of people holding up Mexican flags next to burning cars.

Many of these people have been brainwashed for an incredible number of years that the brown criminals, the flamboyant gays, etc are threatening their way of life and the biggest enemy to America.

Then their healthcare gets shittier, egg prices go up, etc and they blame Biden or whatever because it’s the same misinformation feed meant to keep them angry at the wrong people. Half of the /r/conservative subreddit is still just blaming kamala for things and “investigating” the conspiracy theory of Biden being able to be president while having cancer among doing everything but realizing what is happening.

COVID restrictions are basically over but this is the top post on /r/conservative right now

And the reddit conservative community is tame. The shit flowing across facebook, instagram, shitter, truth social etc is far worse.
