I'm sure brands and regime propagandists will love this!

we allowed anti-vaxxers to dictate public safety measures and make their choice our choice.This is such a disturbing inversion of reality.
What did "anti-vaxxers" do other than eventually be 'permitted' to participate in public life after being designated as second-class citizens in many countries?If our governments hadn’t caved, we could’ve stopped covid before all the mutations.It's funny how the issue isn't even masking or particular reforms.
The frustration is that the totalitarian 'emergency' fascism couldn't be maintained (entirely in some places) or indefinitely.

These people genuinely scare me.
People underestimate how little it would take for them to push for other obscene trespasses. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscienceC.S.

Freedom isn't free, it's earned by the spines of those who turn down the easy path.

Crime that pays is crime that stays.

Given that a majority of 'AI products" aren't economically viable, what are the risks that these projects will fail and be abandoned?
I'm all for plentiful green energy, but this seems like a high opportunity cost for little gain.

I really just see Apple as the kind of company that can withstand some of the existing waves that can disrupt the market.
Considering the Google anti-trust going on, Android's future seems at least a little uncertain.

I'm not really talking about the alt-right specifically but the hordes of people who fell for the Q operation, and similar controlled opposition narratives.
The kind of people that think the IDW's "Pheonix the Republic" slogan is a good rallying cry.

I'm convinced that using iOS is going to be a "right coded" thing in less than a decade.
It really looks like X was an experiment to see how little you can give people for them to cheer to total digital serfdom.
This is because we're going to see much of the right wing abandon free speech principles and continue building the "torment nexus" with the neoliberals.
FOSS is going to become more left-wing, not less, but thankfully also more anarchist as this accelerates.

I did put a disclaimer that I know it will sound crazy to people.
There's a couple of threads that lead me to this, but I'm convinced more than ever that
Musk is basically Q 2.0 for a wider audience.
So much of what's going on these days reeks of (actual) military-grade psyops for a particular purpose.
I see a coalition forming that's building on a variety of themes that make Alex Jones' "Prison planet" rantings look benign by comparison.
To go even further, too many Libertarians have been taught to be blind to power outside the state, in hindsight that looks deliberate.

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social
People are fixating on the iOS thing, but I'm really just emphasizing cultural shifts and that was an example that came to mind.
But it's a lot more related than you would think.
As somebody who has been trying to communicate FOSS values to a right-adjacent audience for a while now I'm convinced the window for outreach has effectively passed.
Instead we're going to see the right double down on all the draconian digital "safety" measures (which is already happening) and act like anybody who cares about independent digital infrastructure is a weirdo.
Musk has a lot to do with it, because his entire OP is "the government can't save you, but the technocrats can!"

@sun@shitposter.world
The "Covid is not over" crew seem more interested in ritualistically defending their choices in 2020/21 as something that should be done always. It makes sense if you remember how thick the propaganda was, and that most of these people only trust 2-3 sources of information to form their worldview.

Gm everyone :pepeclap:
Any big plans for this week?
It's turkey day for us Canucks.

Alt-fedi meta time :popcornpeped:

Pretty rad visualization

Hardest part imo

Nostalgic about loading bars

A must-listen rant by S2 Underground on how vocal elements of the HAM radio community puts people at risk in emergencies.
The entire rant is worth your time...

I can't believe the people building the torment nexus believe that they'd actually use the torment nexus.
