Not entirely sure where my cousin gets his information. He may be mostly getting it from social media. But it is possible that he still watches traditional news. Although, the traditional news in my home country reports about the US here and there. My mom still mostly watch news from our home country, but even she doesn’t know about the ICE arrests.

I know Lemmy is gonna say “stop being addicted to your phone” but like I’m asking this question with more of a like “fuck corporate” attitude

I gained a reputation in my work as someone always glued to the phone, even when walking home. Not that I care much about what others think, but in my defense, I am trading stocks. I toned down using my phone because I got called out by my supervisor as it had affected my work performance. In my role, we have lots of downtime in between the tasks and using phone is allowed so long as we do the job properly. Anyhow, not that I mind much what they think of me because my plan for early retirement is more important than my company needs who could eventually throw you under the bus 😝 I know companies don’t always appreciate long time employees so why should I give 110%? Some people give too much to companies but not me.

Of course, this is in Asia of all places lol. Small shops there love making play on words.

Nothing says ‘circular economy’ like Microsoft stranding 400 million PCs

This might be a silly question but would this not be a good idea for a start up company that recycle computer parts?

Hi fascist! I’m guillotine!

The case revealed Google continued gathering user data via Firebase, a monitoring database embedded in 97% of top Android apps and 54% of leading iOS apps, even after users disabled data collection

This is why we can’t have nice things.

After watching Breaking Bad, I felt as if a part of my life had been torn away from me and I have been left with a hole.

I searched for my topics of interest and hobbies but barely got any hit.

Oh yeah, it is worth noting that Nebula doesn’t have as many options as in YouTube, I’m afraid. That is the limitation of platform. New content creators do come in to Nebula but not as often as it would be on YouTube.

Personally, I love nebula because it does have the topics I am interested in, which is mainly history, news, video games and politics. There are also long form video essays on variety of topics. I would say that Nebula is more like nerdy because of prevalence of those topics. I haven’t come across Nebula videos that are more niche like, let’s say, woodworking or metalworking etc. I do photography but I think there is only one Nebula content creator that does photography.

What about Nebula? It’s paid subscription but you can pay for once off lifetime subscription for $300, and the content creators even encourage users to opt for the latter. Edit: wording

I’m pretty sure some of the tankies are genuinely paid troll. The level of gymnastics, spins and gaslighting they make is something that a trained PR person is proficient at. I noticed this way back in Reddit.

All the more reason to use Signal.

Being American is not exclusive to black people and thus American culture has a country-wide problem in relation to guns.

Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don’t shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels

Whenever i mention the Swiss having as many guns as the US, if not more, and yet the former has practically zero mass shooting incidents, and pointed out the problem of America is cultural, Americans tend to turn a blind eye to it.

Not buy a house, inherit a house from our boomer parents.

Imagine the amount of caffeine in just one pint of glass.

More like, under new management.

Neoliberal politicians do have plans, but it is for the benefit of the rich.

Indeed, he’s an idiot.

People are afraid if he becomes prime minister. The thing is he’s a harmless idiot because he is all complain and rhetoric without offering any specific plan on how to implement what he wants. If what he wants happens, and then what? Should he come to power, it’s just going to be whatever the hell happens. His potential leadership will end up collapsing like the far right tenure in Sweden, Finland and The Netherlands. Farage never really have had any significant leadership experience, because he spent most of his career beating the drum but never leading the band.

But from my personal perspective, his premiership, if he does become PM and even if it fails, will set precedence and open the floodgate to a cleverer authoritarian demagogue that could plunge UK to a full fascism. I think most people are short sighted about the snowball effect of current actions.
