Technology@lemmy.world•Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027English
92·7 days agoThis is fucked. But aren’t “passenger vehicles” actually quite rare? I think most (environmental and safety) regulation is on passenger vehicles, which is why auto manufacturers try and sell so many trucks and SUVs since they don’t count as “passenger vehicles”. I could be wrong and this mandate is going to target all consumer vehicles.
Fuck all cars and our American car brained culture. But also fuck this legislation.

35·15 days agoNeither of my parents have any kind of savings at all, they basically only ever made enough to get by. My mom gets a very meager stipend from being a teacher. They both retired this past year and are drawing social security. It’s already really tight for them. I know when they get older I’m gonna have to sell their houses to make sure they have enough money to live on and the medical care they deserve. No idea where they will live at that point. Isn’t America great? Work hard your whole life to struggle to make it when you’re too old to work…

News@lemmy.world•'No Data Centers': Indy councilor's home hit with 13 shots in targeted attackEnglish
13·26 days agoBack when I was a libertarian (Anarcho Capitalist, but no longer. Loudly a democratic socialist) this concept was called “monolopoly of force”.

45·1 month agoI mean… I would vote for her (to be POTUS) too, since I’m very much a democratic socialist. Unfortunately her chances of actually being the Democrat nominee are basically zero. And even if she did get that far, she would lose in the same way Kamala and Hillary did. Fence sitters and centrists seem incapable of voting for a woman. 🤷♂️
I would be elated to be proven wrong! Please, Universe! Prove me wrong on this!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy?English
6·2 months agoThe thing that concerns me the most about federated content, is that a malicious actor could post something horrible/illegal (CSAM as the obvious example) and that gets replicated across the instances. Now those instances are “hosting” the content and could be held liable for it. A major corporation can pay lawyers to say the content was user posted and they are not responsible (happens all the time) but your average Lemmy admin does not have the same resources to defend themselves.
This is me and I’m mad about it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I am looking for a Linux OSEnglish
2·3 months agoThis question is useless, especially here where you’re going to get a million different answers from some of the most opinionated experts on the Internet.
They are all effectively the same with very minor (and shrinking) differences. The actual biggest difference is the type of release cycle (atomic, rolling, etc) and you can find multiple of those in the same distro. Again… It’s all effectively the same.
I’m gonna recommend what works for me, but it might not work for you. I like these because (again, in my specific use case) they “just worked” with little to no problems: Fedora for a desktop/laptop and bazzite for a handheld. Again… YMMV.
Go check distrowatch and try a few different distros until you find one you like. The more popular, the more likely you can find a community to support your questions.
I very often have whole days in my week, probably 2 or 3 where I don’t eat any meat at all. I am definitely no vegetarian, I love pork in all it’s forms. But the whole idea of having to have meat with every meal is ridiculous. Beans, falafel, cheese, tofu, etc are all tasty ways to get protein and are usually quite cheap as well.
And yeah the only non open source software I use is games. It took a couple years to get off windows, but I’ve been Linux as my daily driver since 2015 or 2016.

14·5 months agoIsn’t he enriching himself? I heard a lot of his income is from suing vaccine companies and now that he has his position, he can point to their “findings” about autism etc and say “there’s the proof!”
Oh God, a loose seal!

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Biggest invasion of privacy in human historyEnglish
2·7 months agoI was curious and looked it up, the price for BDXL could be a lot better. You’re better off just backing up to external HDD and keeping it on a faraday bag or something.
I used to (like 20 years ago) back up to DVD. It got pretty unweildy keeping track of what “stuff” I kept on which disk.
That said I guess I do fall into the “hardcore hoarder” category.

Your heart is in the right place, but please do read more than a headline. Bring reactionary is the job of the other side.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?English

This is dope. Do more.
