  • Is there a link to Chomsky commenting on any of this? I’m simply stunned. And I know the monster Epstein collected public figures and I agree that being collected by him is damning. But I’d still like to hear what Chomsky has to say about the image. Like… anything?










  • I’m sure others in the thread are having a tough time embracing that they agree with Crus a little on this.

    Stop shoving shot down our throats. That’s what I want to say to car companies.

    ZERO computers!

    I want MANUAL WINDOWS!

    Manual locks.

    ZERO SCREENS!!

    I drive the last car mass produced with manual windows and manual locks.

    It has 150k miles. Runs great.

    There is zero tracking agents on it.

    It’s just a car.

    I was thinking about this the other day. I don’t need a car that goes over 40mph. I could get to work and get home. A literal Model T would do.

    We need to look backwards for common sense.


  • I’d say most folks at Lemmy are actively trying to grow the communities and the Community and so are genuinely welcoming and helpful.

    I’d ask you to bring your friends and family. This might be controversial because Lemmy tends to attract amazingly talented tech geniuses — but others should be welcomed here as well.

    I’m here to watch the corporate owned hegemonic control of all social media crumble— so I say we grow the Fediverse a great deal. Of course it’s not big enough to take the whole world but perhaps slow and regular growth will be met with the kind of independent commitment needed.

    Anyway: WELCOME. Look. I wasn’t afraid of all caps. We’ll see how that goes.




  • I’ve tried to remain civil but since your dream job is “going shit for other people,” I agree we don’t have much in common. Yes — that’s a quote.

    Allow me though to ask you to leave your ignorant, toxic, homophobic, ugliness at Reddit where they need people like you to undermine their efforts at community building.

    First: we’re all here because we want to weaken the current corporate hegemony. So… yeah… down with big billionaires. You and I are on the same team. (Unless you don’t get the Orwell reference.)

    So… I just want to get this straight.

    Let’s say it takes X amount of work to support your needs. Your PB&Js and Captain Crunch… whatever it is.

    So… In your world… let’s say you eat for free… whose precious calories get burned in the acquisition of the calories upon which you are sustained?

    Touchy much?

    I’m not the one complaining about the hours per week I work or my compensation… just saying…

    Honestly— we’re just another organism on the planet.

    Separate yourself from the system — a hatchet in the wild… and you’ll find you’ll still have to work. The native Americans had to hunt and build domeciles and make clothes… maybe farm… fish… it’s work all the way down to the first turtle.
