Idk man, the west still have records of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

Similary, non-US countries will have records of the US’s fascism spiral.

I had those at home when I was a kid.

I was born around the 2000s

It’s not really that old lol

Granted, I was in a developing country, so the timeline of technological development is not quite the same (People’s Republic of China).

Do people in the west still have Cassettes in the 2000s?

People value their lives

Can’t trust the nazi computer that’s trying to crash your car

Just use wired. Wireless is a proof-of-concept technology that is just worse.

Like… image if wifi required you to put your phone directly on top of the router… and it’s much slower… might as well just use the ethernet.

Maybe if wireless charging one day works throughout an entire building, we no longer need to charge anymore.

More like a sundown town that there are still people running gay bars in defiance of the townspeople.

Hey, I live in a ghetto city (Philly), but we aint no nazis.

Better a thug than a nazi

(Okay, Philly isn’t actually that “ghetto”, but the point I’m trying to make is: Don’t lump the crackhouses with fascism, we are not the same)

Protonmail (and other proton services) has a Free Tier, and it’s company, Proton AG, were For Profit for a long time (until recently).

Tutanota (now known as Tuta) also has a Free Tier, and is still, to this day, a For Profit company.

Bitwarden allow you to store unlimited passwords, they are a For Profit compant.

Standard Notes let you have Unlimited Notes, and was For Profit until they got bought by Proton

Notesnook also allows Unlimited Notes, and is For Profit.

Yeah… the education system has definitely failed… 🤦‍♂️

A man-made concept that doesn’t really make sense and still makes my head spin.

Let me see…

• Defined Territory
• Membership (Citizenship)
• Freedom of movement within the territory (Usually… but not always… ahem Hukou ahem)
• Usually controlled boundaries of the territory (aka: borders). Members can usually freely enter or leave (assuming they haven’t violated any of the rules (laws) of the country). Non members would need to have permission. Usually, there are special identity documents given by a person’s country of membership, to be used to ascertain their identity and which country they have membership in.
• Usually, everyone has at least one country where they have membership in… but some people have zero… and that’s sad, because they aren’t allowed to go to clubs to party without membership 😥 (#EndStatelessnessPls)

Um yea, countries still make no sense.

Can we all just be one United Earth?

The Expanse Timeline?

The Man In the High Castle

Go watch it, its… interesting… (very dark and depressing)

Oh I’m here… maybe not for long tho…

Hmm what’s that? A knock on the door? ICE Agents?

Oh yea, btw I’m not white, so I’m fucked… 🤷‍♂️

Not really, if they actually look good and doesn’t have the uncanny valley stuff to it. But there should be rules on Lemmy (and hopefully other platforms too) to required images to be marked as AI.

Shadow ban doesn’t do anything because the people running the bot could just create a script to check if the comments is visible from another account (or logged out). And if it isn’t visible, they’ll know there’s a shadowban.

Me who is asexual/aromatic:

Bro, what AI is that?

So fucking real.

This should be the official portrait.
