Excuse me but wtf?

Hey man, if you haven’t figured out yet that these super popular military games are being directed by the government somehow, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Tarnhelm for Android. 👍🏻

This isn’t much of an own. They vibe coded an OS. The fact that it works at all is enough. Days are numbered.

You actually blew my mind here. It never occurred to me that they might actually use ChatGPT to run the country. I was thinking unmanned drones, data combing/surveillance.

Dear smart glasses wearers,

You’re colossal pieces of shit. And dumb as a bag of socks, morons who are paying companies for the privilege of spying on strangers without their consent. You’re helping to enable a world where privacy literally doesn’t exist and every public moment of every person’s life, whether they want to participate or not, is being mined and monetized by billionaires.

You are lower than pond scum. You’re the shit under the back of the toilet bowl that has never been cleaned. You are actually stupid. Like, actually braindead. You are paying actual money to be exploited. At least Facebook and Instagram are free. Seriously, what kind of dumbass would pay to have Mark Zuckerberg sit on their face all day? Fucking idiots. 🤣

Elaborate, plz.

I’ve never read the Parenti book. Thanks for the recommendation.

Pretty heartbreaking about Chomsky and Epstein. But, you’re right about Manufacturing Consent. Actually, Chomsky wasn’t much more than an editor. All of the key concepts and the methodology were Herman’s. Sure, the book wouldn’t have been so popular without Chomsky’s participation, but Herman could have written the book on his own, no question.

That’s cool then. Terrible haircut though.

Who’s the goober in the circle?

Like its title suggests, it delves into the ways in which popular consent is manufactured via the media (at the time - 1988 - mostly print, radio, and television). It’s thoroughly convincing and is that rare type of book that can discuss research without alienating casual readers. Highly recommended.

Why did homie get banned?

It’s a doomsday cult.

I know it’s very, very cliche to mention Manufacturing Consent these days, but anyone who hasn’t read it really should get ahold of a copy and at least read the first 2 or 3 chapters.

Guy is a score-chaser. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got rid of unmanned drones so that he could get the high score for most casualties of war.

Seems to exist all over Lemmy. I’m new around here, migrated from Reddit just a week ago, but this kind of post would get downvoted into nothingness over there. Not for the message, obviously, but for the self-righteous indignation, the name calling, for just being one big spoiled brat temper tantrum. So far, it’s the only thing I miss.

Almost certainly not. All the offshoots from Mozilla’s tech rely first and foremost on Mozilla’s production of the foundational software, which eats up a significant portion of their roughly $500M/yr operational costs. The heavy development cost of modern browsers is why everything is either Chromium or Gecko-based.

That said, Mozilla will be around as long as Chromium continues to dominate the market. Google literally funds Mozilla because it’s cheaper to prop up a competitor than it is to be sued by the government for monopolistic practices (check out 1998 decision against Microsoft for bundling Internet Explorer with Windows).

I’m not sure Firefox belongs on this list. Google finances Mozilla’s operation to the tune of $420M a year. It’s not for-profit, but it’s also not the same as the others.

Congrats on friends👍🏻
