@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Of course one more thing America is #1 at is controlling the media, so none of the other stuff ever gets to be seen by Americans... and that is where it's at.

@mcr314@todon.nl @cadey@pony.social In my limited understanding of computers an ssh key, as you know, allows devices to communicate without passwords, so I presume, well hope this is a parody of those X memes which harvest passwords from unsuspecting idiots. I'm not sure that a lot of thought went into it tbh.

@Khrys@mamot.fr Given that he called a complete stranger a "pedo boy", was sued for it and won the case allowing him to call whomever he wants a pedo (without any evidence or consequence), I can kinda figure where this case is going.

@mcnado@mstdn.social The thing is... nobody with any say gives a shit and even if all these cogent points are brought to congress, what if anything could happen... a strongly worded letter perhaps, a reprimand, this is an exercise in power, pure and simple and so far I have not seen anyone capable of stopping it.

@cstross@wandering.shop Far too much faith is placed in ai for images. How on earth did we get to the point where people assume ai knows how bodies or clocks or indeed any devices move or work. It's only harvesting images, using recognisable sets of pixels in proximity to other pixels. The real surprise is how ai gets any image vaguely correct in the end, even with chance, but yet people are blindly assuming it knows everything about the content of the images it steals.

@maria @grammasaurus @mrundkvist I suppose it comes down to travel, is it a right or privilege? One person travelling on a jet wouldn't make that much difference to life expectancy in the long run, but a plane full might. Like the carbon footprint labelling, I think it would be cool to see a simulation of what change one decision made on their own life expectancy. That is would they choose the cheaper ticket knowing that a small portion of their life is part of the saving.

@maria @grammasaurus @mrundkvist Well it is a choice. A choice to not travel at all or if one has to, to save just a little bit of air quality. For some the choice is taken out of their hands entirely as they cannot afford either. Consider the dearer ticket an investment in future stock, that is until they offer more affordable rail options.

@mrundkvist The time has come when we rationalise the destruction of the environment. It's always been easier and cheaper to destroy rather than create.

@grammasaurus @mrundkvist Well that's a little over twice the price but consider how much it will cost you for oxygen tanks in the future when the air becomes too toxic to breath for more than five minutes. I'd reckon it would work out more than $1300 and for a lot less time too. There will come a time when we won't have the choice.

@rbreich There's a real 'last days of the Roman Empire' vibe going on with the U.S. lately. Like the Roman Empire, it's collapsing from within. I just hope Greenland is not its last grasp at glory, because that would not end well for anyone.

@andrewstroehlein@mastodon.social It was such a toxic atmosphere on Twitter long before Musk's takeover. Random pools of filth coalesced, however, making it impossible to filter out the slime as I once did. I stayed much longer than I should have, but when the blue bird was caged, that was it, but it was no idyll, even in the early days.

@randahl@mastodon.social Do you think a document like this matters to Trump, who is riding roughshod over the rule of law? Historically, I think any Native American or First Nations people would tell you that U.S. government agreements are not worth the paper they're written on.

@shoq@mastodon.social Some people would point to Trump as one of the causes of the downfall, but many fail to grasp that he is merely a symptom of a wider disease, itself causing great harm. There always was a bigger game afoot.

@csstrowbridge @SKleefeld Much as I would like to see that happen, I fear that the attitudes of Trump, Vance et.al. were lurking about in their base and they just allowed them to get out and play. There are many more with America First tendencies, believe me.
