After a while using duckduckgo for everything, my work browser was hooked to Google, and when I went to use it the results were shit, and the ads were just overwhelming. Reconfigured it to duckduckgo.

Life is better.

By whose authority, though?

I mean. There’s governments out there committing genocide despite the overwhelming population of the world being against it.

What does authoritarianism even mean, in that world we live in?

Look at how Chinese are approaching education and you can get an idea on how to do things at scale.

Your link doesn’t work for me. Is this the same?

Keep paddling, and don’t look at the people controlling the steering wheel and engine room.

He’s just a tool, though. The problem is capitalism, and in this instance, the expectation of intinite growth.

If you want well articulated rage against the hp machines, do follow Louis Rossmann.

Right to repair matters!

“Reports are not clear, but it’s probably China’s fault.” 🙄

As if the government wasn’t controlled by probate lobbyists.

Blame goes to private interests being allowed to influence public decision makers, in my opinion. Infrastructure companies should not be for-profit companies.

They already do restrict you from using lemmy by charging full Internet price for it, and allowing special free data plans for Facebook.

Net neutrality matters.

I added an Al Jazeera video argument of a single state. It is not a defense of the zionist fundamentalist terrorists state.

It’s a defense of a multi ethnic state, run by the people for the people.

If nobody did anything maybe in 50 years the social indexes may improve by collective work of the people that live there, and know the right priorities, like Vietnam is recovering after the US simply stopped bombing the shit out of that land.

Or, you know, a solution that isn’t imposed by western colonialists, maybe? But by the sovereign people that inhabit the region?

Otherwise, I agree with everything you said.

Pentagon. The security agency of the country vetoing ceasefire agreement in the UN security council, in favour of Israel attacks.

Independently of whom, exactly?

Chinese got the food and people logistics sorted, too.

Speed trains go bzzzz

Petrol cars go brrrrrr

In our society people are acknowledged as human beings through consumption, and that need is hammered onto our heads by ads and beauty norms everywhere.

Belonging is a human need. Sometimes some cheap makeup is all it takes.

But also, the rich people are stealing from us in so much worse ways. A rich teen stealing from a rich corporation is kind of karmaeic, and really, even if she was caught, nothing significant would happen, whilst a poor girl doing the same would suffer a lot more.

Ergo, if you see something, no you didn’t.
