Thank you. Corrected.

I couldn’t care less about “the masses”. Most of the world are morons.

On the plus side, it’s nice that you don’t need a new ID for every Lemmy instance.

Any social media that you isn’t open and self hostable (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc) should not be used. That includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and more.

Most social media has, IMHO, been a net-negative for society and I am in the generation that grew up with it in its infancy.

I mean she’s not wrong.

Meanwhile Medicare and Medicaid continue to be underfunded and in shambles.

It’s getting really hard to see a solution to America’s problems that doesn’t include violence and burning it the fuck down to start over.

Anybody who thought any corporation is going to “do the right thing”: Exhibit A why we’ve been telling you that’s fucking wrong all this time.

Oh CES. You always bring out the weirdest, zaniest, most unhinged ideas and put them center stage. And I love you for it.

Not the product…this is fucking disturbing.

Sounds like NC’s Supreme Court needs a visit from the green hatted plumber.

Just saying that the Prius Plug-in Hybrid seems to be an excellent PHEV.

You’re probably a better candidate for a plug-in hybrid.

Would have been fine if it didn’t cost a kidney and they’d invested in app development more.

Too closed off. Too expensive.

Praise be.

Pretty sure as long as it stays within China or is “approved” it’s just like any other, but I’m not expert on Chinese internet. I only have tangential experience with it and never visited China.

Not available in North America without importing it, which voids warranty and makes it usually more expensive.

VPNs are highly restricted. China has their own subset of the Internet that only quasi connects to the rest of the Internet. If it’s not politically or socially objectionable, it’s allowed with little to no oversight.

Gotta love totalitarian government’s hellbent on curtailing personal rights and privileges.

They make nice looking devices, but I’d never trust a device from them.

Of course, I don’t trust a LOT of devices these days. Sure would be nice if we had a decent 5G capable, open source alternative. I don’t care if it costs $800+. I’d buy it.

Nifty project. Definitely I could see this being useful for discussing things that would traditionally be censored on other more centralized or semi-decentralized platforms (piracy, anti-authoritarian discussions in an oppressive country, etc).

I gave it a try and the loading times are atrocious, though. I suppose that’s an unfortunate problem with running decentralized.

Honestly it’s just really sad

A good man. Probably too good and wholesome for politics, which is why he was eaten alive during his presidency, but he always seemed to do what he thought was correct, rather than convenient or personally advantageous.

RIP Mr. President.
