  • "Biden is doing his best to pressure them to stop!"

  • Is that his house now? That is the most divorced-dad looking empty-room i've ever seen, like he just finished moving his shit out of his ex-wife's house and hasn't had time to get new furniture of his own

  • They shouldn't control that much wealth anyway, even if it's not 'real' money

  • I don’t see anything wrong with talking about the oligarchs as “kings” as well. I think that language could work just as well with Zuck, Bezos, etc. as it would with Trump.

    I disagree, I don't think people would resonate with that language as applied to other, 'good'/quiet billionaires like Gates, Buffet, or Page - in fact I think that's exactly the point of swapping terms because it sounds more specific to how those billionaires utilize their wealth and influence instead of the fact that they have it to begin with.

  • It’s the guy who is trying to play king

    yea.... except he's just the end result of a far broader problem

    This is exactly the concern with hand-wringing over semantics- the democrats aren't losing because they aren't being vocal enough about their opposition to Trump, they're losing because they're actively avoiding the root problem.

    Pick another word for oligarchs if you want, so long as the attention is being drawn to the root problem of wealth inequality and the billionare class. Don't just abandon the issue because you're afraid it looks like you might be critiquing our economic model when that's absolutely what we're doing

  • Yea but opposing 'kings' isn't even close to the problem of 'oligarchs'

    One is very clearly a result of a capitalist system, the other is a looser critique of authority generally.

    If it was really not ideologically tilted she'd suggest 'billionaire' instead of oligarch, but the dems are afraid of losing the support of the 'good billionaires

  • Seems relatively painless to chop those two instances off - chinese.lol has less than 200 users, and I can't even find instance info for doesnotexist.club (coincidence? i think NOT).

    I do personally wonder how difficult it is to spin up new instances though. How much effort would it be for them to create a new one and do it again?

    I'm actually most concerned with the IP leaking of the fediverse chick posts - hopefully some progress has been made with the IP leaking in auto-loaded external media through DM's

  • As enraging as this whole story is, I don't think there's any coming back from 'you're a war profiteer'

  • My dog once caught what I thought was a diseased rabbit (because how else could my fluffball catch a rabbit?), but now I'm thinking it was just a hare

    Looked like it had just come back from the ethereal plane, its eyes were so wide

  • Wasn't it Obama that normalized the indiscriminate use of drone strikes in civilian areas without congressional approval?

    Democrats are just more competent about their use of military action.

  • Liberals and progressives staying home wouldn't matter if the democratic party appealed to the working class as a whole instead.

  • "Vibe Coding" is not a term I wanted to know or understand today, but here we are.

  • Defeated Democratic candidate: accepts responsibility in the lightest possible way

    Liberal fanboy: Noooo, it's not your fault, it's the children who were wrong!

  • I have an anarchist child and they kill me in a rebellion.

    I'd be so proud.

  • There are not enough smart-vacuum owners in the world that would make it more profitable to just make the hardware without hoovering up the data that comes with its use.

  • Better to put my efforts toward automating the flipping of light switches and the raising/lowering of window shades

  • And some brands of 3D printers have started placing those functionalities behind remote servers and paywalls

    cough cough Bambu Labs cough cough

  • There are a million third party vendors that sell replacements on amazon, just take a look. Though - and I don't know for sure having not actually read the article - it seems as though you may also need to change out the firmware so you can keep operating it if iRobot's servers go down, since all the roombas i'm aware of need internet connectivity to operate.

    If you're at the point where you need to start replacing parts, it might be worth starting to look into other brands

  • Elon to Trump: "I can't fund 2026 midterm candidates if Tesla goes broke"

    Trump:
