Didn't the US just "give Rafah" to Isntreal as an agreement that Isrealhell won't retaliate on Iran?

Supreme Court Expands Access To Roofies ( www.theonion.com )

WASHINGTON—In a historic ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court declared Tuesday that Americans have the right to roofies. “A sexual predator’s right to Rohypnol is an issue of personal liberty that must not be infringed upon,” said Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who grew visibly emotional during oral arguments, asserting through...

It got me in my way to learning about decentralization and now I'm all over the small web stuff.

I just wish there was a way to delete my reddit profile comments easily. I log in every three months or so by accident usually.

My god you are clueless. Have you moved out of your parent's home yet? I'm just curious where you are in your life? If you moved, were you given a stable and well funded childhood? I'm just trying to understand the disconnect.

Thoughts on pinboard's viability?

Been using Marcin's beautifully created bookmark manager since yahoo killed delicious. It was yahoo that bought it right? I digress. Anyway, I've been paying for his service since he mentioned it would be helpful if the old users also contributed BUT the site's downtime has been rough and unpredictable lately. It's just worrying...

@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

People are "lazy" and only social, today. They want to log in, info dump, and not think.

Before the nadir of social media, when reddit and twitter were coming up, the people online were predominantly young millennials and new tech was exciting. That was a time where netizens were more curious and accepting of online platform learning challenges. In fact, if it was beta or even just more hands on and generally nerdy, that often made the platform more appealing. Then everything became standardized. Mega social media squashed innovative smaller fun projects. Competition got absorbed. And with the mass standardization of the internet came the younger generations who came up just expecting shit to work as they've always seen. Streamlined and with an inclusion of 15 minutes of fame. But, in honesty the biggest snooze is the lack of innovation that drove the old internet drives today's general malaise.

Times are different. People are bored with internet tech and are therefore less curious. My younget gen z and y co-workers glaze over if I even so much as mention irc or playing around with your own web server. Gen y understands but doesn't care because Twitter and IG governed their highschool experience. Gen z doesn't understand and are kinda boomer-esque in terms of any software comprehension. I've had to teach my interns what Excel even is.

Times are different. Everything has being standardized, monontonized, monitized, predictable, and generally boring. I think the fediverse would have to become mainstream to appeal to the mainstream. And today's mainstream aren't interested in new platform learning curves unless there's something fun, compelling, and of entertainment value to them.

Just my old millennial lady take.

Yea... and I realize how harsh it sounds but like, I put "lazy" in quotes because I don't think it's really laziness. Maybe more boredom? The environments' just been designed to not invite exploration. Everything is just automatic and instant now. Innovation is driven by need. The need has been engineered away, for the most part.

Those still exist at this time.

It's more like they will miss fully having to rely on the library and their family owning a collection of encyclopedia because no internet.

White Rural Trump Supporters Are a Threat to Democracy ( www.thedailybeast.com )

In the popular imagination of many Americans, particularly those on the left side of the political spectrum, the typical MAGA supporter is a rural resident who hates Black and Brown people, loathes liberals, loves gods and guns, believes in myriad conspiracy theories, has little faith in democracy, and is willing to use violence...

It's weird because the leaked Parler account maps showed the density of membership was in red parts of cities. Less in rural.

Yes, no. An ideology that celebrates killing minorities, women, and the queer community deserves all the hate it gets. The latest victim to your favorite ideology, Nex Benedict in the US and the entire Palestinian population vis-a-vis Netanyahu's conservative government. Conservatism belongs exactly where it is in the public's eye. If not moreso.

We're definitely already there. All the world's knowledge at our fingertips and people are convinced Ice Spice is throwing satanic signs at a ballgame. We're there without AI.

AI has taken the stress off of writing resumes and cover letters for me. I think I'm ok with that extra help.

Is* it older adults or is it only boomers? Legit question. They grew up when you could leave doors unlocked and seem to think it's still this way in a lot of their behavior.
