Bizarre when I ask recs for a tailor for a cosplayish project and people get mad that I don't accept suspicious website mass producing clothes in typical sweatshop countries. They even shat on the one tailor that was brought up for being expensive? I thought nerd spaces would support artists.

If you're posting about the Tylenol thing, congrats. Your attention has been successfully diverted from the Epstein files.

Also good for #degoogle.

EU getting their own search index, independent from Bing and Google. At least that's good news. staan.ai

Everything you do hurts the climate. The point is to find ways that are feasible for you to do that reduce the load. It's the pursuit of perfection and the snootyness of anyone doing less than that turns people off from even trying. Put in a little effort to change what YOU can.

While this is an issue, I don't like the resignation. Capitalism *did not* take away community from people - that's on you. And also, this shows that despite it all, many people are just comfortable *enough* to not do anything. If your ass was directly on the line, you would be doing something.

Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus. AI needs heavy regulations.

Yeah, I feel like the past 20 years I've kept hearing how bad the education system in America is. This is why investing to it is paramount. www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

An uncomfortable line of thought: I think we can all agree that the child Elon is dragging with him everywhere is likely to be severely fucked up. Best thing for him is for Elon to get bored of using him as a prop when he's old enough so he can go to his mom who may be able to undo... #freewill

Watch how Right-wing is starting to fudge the difference between the words "boycott" and "vandalism". They are talking about the Tesla boycott as if that was the same as vandalizing Tesla cars and dealerships. This is propaganda 101, they are trying to make "boycott" sound like an illegal activity.

A great idea! Pass it on. 🇨🇦

I'm all for #BuyEuropean but would be cool to have ethical and climate conscious production too. #climatechange #europe caneurope.org/omnibus-erod...

The nonsense at #Reddit is a great example of how it's clearly too big for itself. If a site has so much (seeming) use that they can't (won't) hire humans to moderate and instead rely on a really bad auto-mod to do sweeping bans, it is unsustainable. But hey, great time for Lemmy join-lemmy.org

There's some great reflection to be done with our social media use. How much of *actually* valuable things do you get from mindlessly scrolling junk, a lot of which has been posted by content farms? www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fedivers...

We need a much more heavily regulated social media, or we need some verification that a user is a real person. We cannot have the current level of free speech online, combined with anonymity and algorithms. Way too powerful of a toy in the hands of a humanity clearly not mature enough to handle it.

Governments should never, ever get a backdoor access to private online messaging. If it's there at all, it can be abused. I get the arguments about highly illegal and dangerous contents but the potential damage from abuse is far too great to be allowed. #privacy #fascism

The Finnish President says he was saddened by Friday's angry exchange in the White House.

Oh wow, has our Right Wing government's tactic of telling people to "just go to work" not worked? Maybe they should cut from public services some more, I'm sure the reduced capacity to hire people in the public sector will help.

The Moscow Institute of Computer Science has "caught fire", I felt a great disturbance in the algorithm, as if millions of bots suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Olen järkyttynyt. Yle uutisoi, että vihreät ja vasemmisto kannattavat huumeiden käyttöhuonekokeilua ja perussuomalaiset vastustavat. Siis, että progressiiviset kannattavat tutkittuun tietoon pohjautuvaa päihdepolitiikkaa ja taantumukselliset sormen heristelyä ja jalan tamppaamista? Oho.

Though I hope they'll also give more dedication to privacy.

“I can’t join protests” or “I don’t know what to do” are common refrains. Yet, resistance thrives in the everyday: sharing uncensored news, supporting local businesses, rejecting injustice in conversation, aiding neighbors, preserving culture, documenting abuses. Small acts sustain defiance.

Yep, I'm going. Haven't attended a protest in years but I need to do more than just bitch about politics online. And it's not just about Ukraine. Russia must not win this. standwithukraineworld.ukrainianworldcongress.org

I'm not happy about it, but yes. In order to guarantee the safety and well-being of European citizens, we have to start putting resources into Europe, starting with the military. And urgently.

Very worth a listen. Important points about the nature of journalism today (and why I'm finding news so tiresome). Thank you @helenlewis.bsky.social (please persuade Harris to join Bsky if you have any contact to him ;p) www.samharris.org/podcasts/mak...

Protest is a fundamental pillar of democracy. As citizens take to the streets today, they stand against the oligarchic system cemented under Trump—one that threatens equality, justice, and civil liberties.

Do some of you literally never ask if the screenshot of the post talking about the horrible thing that happened comes from anywhere near a credible source? #reddit

“Hack! Hack! We need hackers!” Hackers can play a role in supporting popular uprisings, but in America, there is currently nothing to support—yet.

Go protest Trump this weekend, use hashtags: #3E #USprotest #endimpunity

Talking to Americans about this is like talking to the elephant held down by a little bit of rope. It's mind-boggling.

It’s astonishing how many are willing to mimic the oppressive systems they denounce. Among the vast range of emotions available for effective resistance, it’s disheartening that anger is often the only tool some choose to wield.

Plenty of exceptions to this but I can't help but notice that comparing Japanese and American hero fiction genre, overall I get the impression that American heroes tend to be the sole saviors of a given situation, with the common people doing basically nothing to save themselves.
