Hi there!
Aye, in terms of actual numbers there was a small hard right in Germany in the 1930s…
Sometimes you can seize power as a minority if you’re sneaky and underhanded enough, or if your opponent is complacent and weak.
People are easily fooled into acting against their own interests and helping their enemies defeat them (Brexit being an obvious recent example).
Yeah it’s tiring. It seems especially prevalent on Lemmy, way more than I’ve ever seen anywhere else for some reason.
Like, I use Linux for all sorts of things, it’s great, but there are plenty of situations I use other stuff in too. Open your mouth around these folks though and all they say is “hurrdur use Linux”.
Very helpful my guy, thanks xD
I’m the author of my video content, not YouTube.
I carefully produce and render it, carefully ensuring it meets the quality level I require, and then I upload it.
I assume YouTube will transcode it, sure, but I assume they have expert engineers who have tailored the transcoding system to maintain the highest possible video quality whilst hitting whatever their filesize goals are.
At no point should AI be applied to alter the content of my video in any way, especially without my consent. That’s ridiculous.
Fuckin Cylons, man.
To be fair, this is 2025, there’s no trustworthy data about anything any more.
Hell, you might just be an AI. Or I might just be an AI. Or maybe there wasn’t even an outage. I didn’t notice any issues, so maybe AI hallucinated it, or it’s been made up as clickbait and been second-hand reported by thousands of news sites that don’t care about fact checking any more.
Not that there are facts any more, anyway.
Murderous fascists gonna murder fascistly.
If ya liiiiiike a lotta chocolate on ya biscuit go somewhere else
That’s fuckin rad, I love satellites! So eerie and mysterious ~
A fascinating read, thanks for sharing :-)
Ah yes, what a lovely content not viewable
They’re based in the USA, they have to work with the government or they’ll be targeted/taken over/shut down, surely?
They could try to escape the USA and move all their operations to Europe, but I think they’re just going to stick where they are and do whatever the fascists want them to do. So long as they’re getting paid why should they care?
You… you know those are fiction, r-right?
“little Greta”
…ew. Who talks about an adult woman like that in the news?!
It’s strange seeing an article in something like the New York Times about my city. I’d have thought they wouldn’t have much interest in what goes on in Manchester just in general! They never seem to care about us. Usually it feels like Americans think London is the entire UK.
Bloody windy here today anyway, that’s my local news update, bit of a storm passing through, so it’s a day of rain and gusty galey winds sadly. A real change compared to the crazy warm sunny dry year we’ve had so far! Winter is finally approaching I suppose…
‘Not one Linux distro named after me! After all I did for them!’
I wanted to move to Jellyfin, but there isn’t an app for it on the LG WebOS library like there is for Plex, so I wouldn’t be able to watch stuff on my TV, which sadly makes it useless for me :-(
I don’t have the money to be going out and buying extra add-ons for my TV to watch stuff either, sadly. So, Plex it is for now!
If you’re against fascism, you’re now an enemy of the state.
Better start doing Nazi things to hide your true anti-fascist terrorist feelings, so you don’t get arrested!
Honestly, there’s too many school shootings to keep track of over there, it’s basically just routine now. Awful as it sounds, reporting on them seems as pointless as reporting on motorway crashes - they keep happening regardless and are horrible preventable tragedies, but are limited in scope of their effect on a national or international scale.
High profile political activist assassinations are far less frequent though, and far more impactful on that country and potentially on an international scale depending on how the country adjusts it’s policies or social norms (it’s not a good thing I know, but they have become jaded to shootings in their schools and barely bat an eye when it happens on a national scale any more, so it doesn’t really affect anything worth reporting on over here).
So, I can understand why one would get more attention than another, even if it’s not remotely just or fair.
But yes, I can’t imagine why our government would offer condolences or anything positive towards that fascist’s memory or family. We’re not afraid of calling a spade a spade over here, but our government isn’t exactly stellar, alas.
I have long hoped that they would sort out their school slaughter problem, it’s ridiculous that they’ve built and maintain a society that not only allows it to happen in any but the rarest most extreme of circumstances, but that they aren’t interested in fixing the issue enough to actually make meaningful change.
Heck, I see them installing special equipment to slow down gunmen, I see them trying to arm their teachers (insanity), and give kids bullet proof backpacks and such. It all sounds ridiculous looking in from the outside so I don’t know how much of that is even true, but it seems they’re trying to treat the symptoms not the cause :-(
Anyway yeah, our current government sucks, I certainly didn’t vote for them. Their stances on a great many things don’t represent my views.
Some sort of well organised community militia with the right to arm themselves, perhaps? Wait, that’s a great idea for addition to the Constitution, write that down!
