I know! At least we got an Antiviral Wipe during COVID!

It kills me how few (American) people know that Philomena Cunk came from those series, and it makes me sad that we never see anymore of Barry Shitpeas, her compatriot “man on the street” figure in the Wipe series.

…and I think this attitude has been used to infantilize these women and absolve them of their own awful natures.

half of the white women in America voted for Trump and treating them as brainwashed (which by extension implies innocence) treats them as though they don’t take part in and enable ssid behavior themselves.

I understand the dominance of the patriarchy influences this, but this is the modern era and all these women have a phone with the whole ass internet in their pocket. They have the tools to learn differently and walk away and they largely choose not to until the consequences come knocking for them specifically.

So I am with OP on this one, she’s quite likely an even bigger piece of shit than him.

The end is hilariously dark because it’s so self referrencial to Booker’s previous work on Newswipe/Screenwipe.

Daniel Kaluuya’s final monologue is absolutely channeling Brooker in his Screenwipe era.

So much regulation can sadly be boiled down to the idea “Contempt of Business Model.” Because once that business is entrenched and can afford lobbyists, now it’s time to lobby anything other than their business model as illegal.

This seems like a pretty good breakdown.

Yes, exactly, building parallel systems that actually cater to the needs of the local populace. Interconnecting those systems via federation sounds key to making it work!

It’s a little bit funny to see people talking about the benefits of centralization on a website that was built to be part of a larger decentralized network. As if we’re not here because of the problems with control and censorship in centralization. Reddit has a history of silencing leftist voices, yet those voices are more “free” to speak here on the Fediverse.

The entire point of the original structure of the internet was to build resilient communication networks for the military so if one node went down, a new path could be routed around the broken node.

Centralization absolutely leads to fascism because it gives all the controls to a handful of people who aren’t responsive to democracy.

Our representatives do not represent our interests because they are so far removed from us. We honestly need far more representatives representing far fewer people (like maybe a few hundred per representative) because then a rep has to be on a first name basis with their constituents and understand them because there are so few they represent. Either that or we need to bite the bullet and go direct-democracy and just have senators and house representatives just be figureheads who help write bills, with citizens having the final vote on each bill.

So they don’t need as much cooling, and will produce less waste heat due to the temperature coefficient of resistance.

And honestly in areas with colder year-round climates, the increase in ambient temps from running locally might actually reduce heating bills because it’s technically doing double duty of doing a job and heating the place.

D’oh! I knew I was forgetting something!

They are desperately trying to stave off the crash until Democrats have a majority so it can be blamed on the Democrats.

OK I went to the store and bought some queso dip… Now what?

You can’t do this to me on the day Patrick Stewart died!

I already got my invitation 🙂 I hope I can afford it at some point, too.

Isn’t it a paid service, though? I trust Mozilla more than Proton as well… but I also can’t afford a paid service at the moment.

Tuta is based in Germany, so they are more likely to have to comply with information requests as Germany is part of the 14 Eyes international information sharing network. Thus countries like the USA may be able to get your info from Tuta legally.

Other than that? Honestly I’m not sure.
