It’s not just the camera, it’s the geometry. A car can fit into a narrower space from a narrower lane backing in.

If you’re views diverge sharply from the mainstream, you’re radical.

If you think we should change society to bring about gender equality, you are radical. If you think it society is good with some small tweaks like legislating parity of pay or a certain number of women in c-suite positions, you’re a liberal feminist.

Afaict most supposed terfs are actually either non feminist conservatives or liberal feminists.

I don’t know how often exploits that this would prevent are found, but sometimes

Nazi Germany was the template, so there can be no answer more right than this that isn’t based on Nazi Germany.

Are palm trees not a grass?

I don’t have the ability to easily verify users. A user verification service would be great. I think it could work decentralized, but maybe have a separate service for it. Servers independently authenticate, and federate with each other. If one starts authenticating poorly, defederate.

I don’t think it’s a good fit within Lemmy or Mastodon, or … Because I don’t think someone who runs a server wants to bother with it. It needs to be it’s own service that integrates with other services.

What were Mark Rubio’s words? Oh yeah… “past, current, or expected beliefs”.

They are already explicitly past thoughtcrime being “deportable” and have moved onto expected future thoughtcrime.

Would they really have started killing so quickly? Like, I’d think they’d want to wait a couple of months and ease us into it

Is this something that could be integrated into lemmy itself?

Do you have reason to think that? Organizations that use mainframes keep them up-to-date in my experience.

This sounds like a big assumption.

To be clear I didn’t mean the rhetoric makes it likely, I mean an attack on Canada makes it likely. I think and hope that the rhetoric is market manipulation, and largely empty.

Whether that changes your opinion, idk.

What I mean is that the constant flippant “he can do what he wants” supports him now in the same way the confident “we’re safe because what he suggested is illegal.” if Trump was really that powerful the judges that would rule against him wouldn’t have the chance.

Things are bad, but acting like it’s already over literally strengthens the fascists.

You don’t need to support him, you know.

It’s going to hurt all the people. I think they’re underestimating both how secure their wealth will make them from Trump, and the backlash they’ll face as the dust clears. Their complicity will be treated harshly if this ends.

Trump is really ramping up the rhetoric on a Canadian/American war. I think such a thing makes an immediate civil war very likely.

I still think he doesn’t intend a Canadian/American war. I think the dual purposes are manipulating markets as part of pumping and dumping stocks for the oligarchs, and promoting instability in the West for Putin. But a Canadian/American war would be a ton of instability in the West, so maybe

46 percent of voters say his policies are making the economy worse rather than better, while 28 percent say the opposite (the rest had no opinion).

I think that 20 point gap is very significant. That’s too many for honest answers. It looks to me like either people in the left afraid to say things are going well (unlikely) and people still on the right, afraid to say it’s looking bad.

Trump’s whole strategy here was to tank things so quickly that there could be no resistance from the left and that the Republican base would remain loyal.

This is a real crack in that. 28% support days that his base it liking where we’re headed, but he’s losing the Republicans who don’t support him particularly.

Is that what Dumbo is about?

Yes. It’s not great that they’re banning a mass communication app. Tiktok is very often used for political communication and while I might support limiting the power of corporations in our political communication I don’t support the consolidation into even fewer hands.
