This isn’t your average everyday yikes, this is… advanced yikes

Ew lmao

Only a very small number of American Christians believe in the rapture.

The Surpreme Court unlike lower courts can overrule prior decisions it’s made. Thats how Roe v Wade was overturned

Oh yes it’s a thing, to a lesser extent than Reddit though obviously. In order for anything to be done about it though, the bot accounts usually have to do something that betrays the fact that they’re bot accounts though. Such as accidentally passing through a variable instead of the value, such as with your post. Hence why you will see people question you

For good reason. For years bots have been making Reddit posts just to farm for content for YouTube videos or market research

Uh it must be a whole lot more than their pro max because the IPhone 18 pro max was only $1,300

TNG only. The Enterprise D was the only headline ship that was meant to carry a permanent civilian population

I mean even in the actual canon, the civilians and families that live aboard the Enterprise signed up for the experience knowing full well that seeking out new life and new civilizations would incur the possibility of those things being hostile. The crew does their best to minimize risk but ultimately if those people wanted a life of guaranteed peace and safety they’d have stayed on Earth.

Respectfully to you personally as your heart is absolutely in the right place, Americans do not need or at this point want Canadian forgiveness. Canadians have their own problems with their far right neighbors that they will continue to underestimate until it’s too late. And when that happens, the majority of Americans — who respect and support Canada and its people, who were outraged over the governments treatment of Canada, and who turned that outrage into action through protests and yesterdays rejection of the current government, will remember how Canadians turned on them.

The global rise of far-right authoritarianism defies borders and those of us standing against it should have been standing shoulder to shoulder, but instead Canada would rather blame all Americans while burying its head in the sand and pretending like the same thing couldn’t happen there. As if America is somehow uniquely susceptible to a problem that has been plaguing the entire world. First they doubted Americans would deliver on the rejection of its government, and now that they have, they disqualify it.

We should and we have to put things to rights with Canada because it’s the right thing to do, and it’s what our northern neighbors deserve, but frankly the holier-than-thou pearl clutching that has dominated online Canadian-American discourse has sucked the well of Canadian sympathy dry for a lot of people.

Yes pretty much everyone alive knows what a cassette is. They might not know what a Commodore is specifically

How do I delete someone else’s Lemmy account?

I haven’t used Umbrel but I’m pretty sure it predates the AI times

Even with the inflated prices, buying storage is much cheaper than renting it from cloud services.

The target lifetimes for a NAS hard drive is 5 years. A 16TB NAS drive will cost less over that 5 years than Apple’s 2TB cloud storage plan. And that’s assuming Apple won’t raise over those 5 years (they will).

Andy Yen’s political afilliations are one thing, but this does indicate an imminent decline in the function of the product.

You’d be surprised at how many people on Lemmy have decided Proton is lying to people and secretly sharing all your data with US authorities because of the handful of times they have been ordered to by law hand over metadata that does not include the content of their data.

These people then say to ditch Proton and use Tutanota instead as if they they somehow won’t be compelled to do the exact same thing.

I have never bought into the Proton hate seen on Lemmy, as most if not all of it came from a fundamental misunderstanding of how technology works. And if anything, this report confirms that the employees inside Proton really do seem to care about the product.

But ultimately, if the CEO is this hostile internally, those employees will leave and the product will just enshittify at an exponential rate. This is actually some very damning insight into the future of Proton.

Proton has a couple competitors that are viable to switch to, if not somewhat half baked next to Proton. But it’s important to understand for the people who have been berating Proton for handing over metadata to authorities and similar things, that Tutanota and other competitors will have all the same problems. Tuta is based in Germany which is a member of 14 eyes, and will if anything be more susceptible to the whims of the US government than Proton was.

As an American, who is entirely against the current administrations hostile behavior towards its allies, I’m glad that this debacle has at least spurred other nations to into separating themselves from America’s BigTech grasp. GDPR was only ever going to be a half measure as long as foreign governments continued to rely on American controlled infrastructure, and American made software and cloud services.

This is the kind of thing that should happen regardless of the temperature of diplomatic relations with the U.S.

From the article (And OPs title)

“there are still no signs of AI boosting productivity growth.”

Mine got past that phase and now we’re in the being selective about who gets the AI subscription, and lowering token budgets phase.
