  • Yep. Twitter and Discord are the two most annoying walled gardens I can think of when it comes to projects (like FOSS dev).

  • This pic reminds me of a ten-year-old post:

    Used to take prework out as a teenager. About a year ago I'd be taking 2 scoops of the strongest shit I could get my hands on. I'd have to spend almost 10 minutes between sets sometimes to keep from puking. Then one day I just thought, what the fuck am I doing. I started lifting to get healthier. And here I am taking in God knows what from a container with a psycho clown that's chewed half his own face off. What the fuck happened. I started with a half a scoop of c4 and now here I am. Who the fuck is this for, am I supposed to be that methhead clown, is that supposed to be appealing? Since then completely gave up prework outs and never looked back

  • How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"?

  • It looks like lemmy.ml didn't remove it, but their staff are certainly anti-ICE, plenty of posts there for weeks full of outcry.

  • Thanks for checking, it's refreshing to see that attitude and care online.

  • Sanders and AOC tell packed arena Trump is ‘screwing over’ working class

    Jump

  • I would suggest they survey their target audience (when they're in Arizona, ask Arizonans), see what they need the Dems to help with, and then see if they can use their power to help with it.

    I know that's vague, but one of the worst things I could do is arrogantly pretend I know the most important struggles of local working people. Sure, I could just guess, and some of those guesses may be right - perhaps establishing community aid organizations to reduce the impact of financial strain, creating or supporting rent/tenancy unions to help address housing crises, and labor struggles like union industrial action efforts to create better working conditions and reduce injury and death in the workplace, throwing their weight behind existing protests. But if something else is more important to a region (perhaps a local group able to solve a local problem is underfunded or needs an expert to assist), and a political party recognizes and addresses it, that is empowering to the citizens and helps build enthusiastic support for the party, rather than just seeing them as ineffective distant rich people.

  • Ah, right. I'm not familiar enough with US law to realize.

  • There is nothing they can truly do to fight without tons of popular support.

    That's true, absolutely, but also there's only so much hype can do without actions alongside to make people feel empowered. Plenty of people go to protests, then realize they've just stood around chanting and feel like nothing was accomplished, especially after a few times in a row. So while rallying and gaining popularity is necessary, it's not sufficient.

    On the other hand, using those crowds to accomplish actions, even minor and safe, shows to participants that this is a group and a strategy that can accomplish things.

  • It has to be organized for one.

    I disagree. Consider racist mass shootings by lone perpetrators. It's clearly an act attempting to incite terror and tension, many of them make it clear in their manifestos that they're trying to spark a 'race war'. But it's not organized, beyond being the result of stochastic terrorism.

  • While he certainly deserves to suffer proportional to the suffering he’s causing

    Even Abu Gharib would struggle to do that. The scale of influence billionaires have is insane.

  • ok that's cool and all but what are they actually doing?

    They've clearly demonstrated they have enough influence to draw a crowd. Plenty of activists dream of that kind of audience. Hopefully they did more than just state the obvious........ mobilize them towards non-electoral action!

  • Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road

    Jump

  • The video does bring up human ability too with the fog test ("Optically, with my own eyes, I can no longer see there's a kid through this fog. The lidar has no issue.") But, as they show, this wall is extremely obvious to the driver.

  • Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road

    Jump

  • I hope some of you actually skimmed the article and got to the "disengaging" part.

    As Electrek points out, Autopilot has a well-documented tendency to disengage right before a crash. Regulators have previously found that the advanced driver assistance software shuts off a fraction of a second before making impact.

    It's a highly questionable approach that has raised concerns over Tesla trying to evade guilt by automatically turning off any possibly incriminating driver assistance features before a crash.

  • People outside the US, do you still consider America a democracy?

    Jump

  • The amount of voter suppression, the broken FPTP system and mass media influence over the US electoral system, means that for all intents and purposes, the USA federal election is just picking your favourite of the two viable owning-class-endorsed candidates. "The people" never had a realistic chance of representation or empowerment. This is not a new critique, it's been discussed for at least a century and a half.

    There is simply no real value in calling the USA a democracy at any point during our lifetimes, regardless of whether you are allowed to vote or even write-in candidates, regardless of the two-party system, because the power imbalance between the working class and the owning class surrounding that vote makes it as much a sham election as Russia's sham elections. But even compared to other (until recently) close allies, the US implementation of federal voting has long been an absolute circus.

  • This one was making a child with an HIV-positive parent resistant to HIV, so it's a bit better than 731 torture.

  • I have problems with the doctors' way of doing so, but their act was to allow an informed consenting(? it's complicated) couple with an HIV-positive parent to have a child resistant to HIV. It was problematic, yes, but very different to the war crime experiments, much of which was simply about morbid curiosity and torture.

    Laws were changed after this incident:

    In 2020, the National People's Congress of China passed Civil Code and an amendment to Criminal Law that prohibit human gene editing and cloning with no exceptions

    So, in case you actually meant that weird ignorant remark you made about Uyghurs, the answer is no and no.
