  • What are some lesser known (so no Walmart, Nestle, Amazon etc) shitty, ethically bankrupt, evil companies?

  • Sinclair group in the US, bought up basically every local news station and began inserting propaganda into scripts as stories. Highly insidious because the older population generally trusted their local news anchors more than the national outlets.

    GEO group, one of the largest private prison corporations that also manages ice detention facilities and many mental institutions, not sure I need to say much more.

  • Sue acme for damages, and kmart posts notices near the service counter to inform other buyers of the danger. I worked at kmart.

  • Trump’s Unwelcome News to Auto Chiefs: Buckle Up for What’s to Come

    Jump

  • Full agreement about the "team sport" and them setting the field for trump, but traditionally gop members had to be team corporate interests first to even get on the bench.

    But perhaps it's just me being shocked at the realization juggernaut companies like Ford and Intel are now being treated as "little guys" in the party controlled by individuals with billions in personal wealth.

  • Trump’s Unwelcome News to Auto Chiefs: Buckle Up for What’s to Come

    Jump

  • No doubt. I just remember a time when 'god, guns and gains' were the only consistent republican policies, and this wasn't long ago. Declaring the stock market irrelevant would have had them booted from the party quicker than you can say dow jones.

    Now here we are, watching maga cult handwave it all away to liquidate. Just insane.

  • Trump’s Unwelcome News to Auto Chiefs: Buckle Up for What’s to Come

    Jump

  • One of Mr. Trump’s advisers, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations, said the Biden presidency proved to Mr. Trump that the stock market is not a foolproof barometer of the economy’s future, nor a useful indicator of voter sentiment. If it were, Mr. Biden, who presided over a booming stock market, would surely be the president, the adviser said.

    That's one hell of a pivot, even for republicans.

  • Trump's border czar: "I don't care what the judges think"

    Jump

  • They were literally told to hold on deporting these people, and then said nope we got them in the air already, in under 24 hours. If that's not outright defying the court, I don't know what else we're waiting for.

  • Trump raises Canadian steel, aluminum tariffs to 50% in retaliation for Ontario energy duties

    Jump

  • So no steel, aluminum or electricity? Well crap, didn't have bronze age dystopia on the bingo card.

  • Why are Google's Assistant(s) so bad nowadays?

    Jump

  • I dont know of any directly comparable assistants from europe unfortunately. Mistral AI is French and produces a decent LLM, but I was underwhelmed with the software ecosystem. It's essentially just a chatbot.

  • Why are Google's Assistant(s) so bad nowadays?

    Jump

  • I've been doing a 90 day test of perplexity pro and so far it's my front runner. They recently released an assistant that can launch in place of google assistants, it's able to use screen context and interact with some apps, you can limit what info they collect, they don't sell your data, and it connects to multiple models.

  • Trump border czar: ICE will ‘absolutely’ deport legal immigrants

    Jump

  • "If they commit crimes" is doing a lot of lifting here. Sorry Tom, protesting is not against the law- yet...

  • JD Vance's cousin who volunteered to fight for Ukraine speaks out

    Jump

  • Wow that's quite a convincing argument. Looking forward to ball-kicking for America.

  • JD Vance's cousin who volunteered to fight for Ukraine speaks out

    Jump

  • Trump can kick them in the balls and they'll straight face blame Biden.

  • Tesla’s stock is plummeting. So is the Bay Area’s respect for its vehicles

    Jump

  • I agree with everything here, and encourage pre-2023 owners to continue applying the "Elon killed my resale value" bumper stickers to their cars.

  • Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing

    Jump

  • For a private voice group, could you use something like mumble? It's still out there, doing voice well.

  • Trump administration rethinking Guantánamo immigrant detention plan amid cost issues and power struggles

    Jump

  • No fucking shit. Said this the moment he announced it - the facility was not designed to hold this population, and flying people offshore is crazy expensive. Ignorant plan like all the others, falls apart when grandiose delusion meets reality.

  • Kevin Rose, Alexis Ohanian acquire Digg

    Jump

  • Reddit (and by extension, Lemmy) likely wouldn't exist without Kevin Rose. He both popularized the concept of user driven link aggregators and royally screwed digg during a big redesign, pushing the users to reddit.

    Alexis Ohanian is generally considered a "better" cofounder of reddit (or atleast, not spez). I think the two combining forces to relaunch an OG site is newsworthy.

    If it's a positive, will remain to be seen. I won't go back to a closed/non-federated platform, personally.

  • 'Bloodbath': Social Security Administration Begins Mass Firings | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Yes, of course! As long as you make at least $100M a year, all investments will be returned as tax breaks.

  • ‘This feels like a repeat’: Republicans try to get a handle on their town hall problem

    Jump

  • Yup, my R representative hasn't held a general town hall since 2016, but people keep voting him in! Must not be much to talk about.
