It’s the media’s job to make us angry at foreigners while ignoring and accepting our problems at home. They’re just doing their job.

Looks like there’s one on Lemmygrad but Lemmy.world, the biggest instance, is not federated with that instance.
Thanks. I was wondering what the context of this post was.
At least Matrix has a lot of 90’s references and a very 90’s setting. Mostly the pay phone I suppose, but they’re a big part of the movie lol.
I hope we don’t lose them. Or someone is archiving all this knowledge.
I still find some good answers for questions on my car in some good old, car forums specific to whatever make you may have.
The Fantasy Grounds forum is for a virtual tabletop for TTRPGs that’s pretty active, and it’s been going through a lot of good UI updates lately since the guy from DnD Beyond joined.
Love it lol. That banana phone song was a blast from the past.
Is it your cake day? What’s the cake next to your name mean?
If so, happy cake day!
I believe both. Fusion bomb was made after the fission one. So ya, that’s a tough one.
But I suppose as long as we’re just making wishes, there’s got to be one like things can’t explode but you can still get harmless energy from them or something like that, so stars still work. Idk,this one might require a physicist to phrase it right lol.
So kind of enforcing karma as like a universal truth? I like it!
NFT, Blockchain, dot Com boom, there’s always another one
Not to derail, but may I ask how did you become an AI Engineer? I’m a software dev by trade, but it feels like a hard field to get into even if I start training for the AI part of it, because I’d need the data to practice =(
But it’s such a big buzz word I feel like I need to start looking that direction if i want to stay employed.
What I’ve learned from this thread as someone getting into horror again is that I really need to watch Hereditary and the original Candyman. Might just bookmark this for all the great recommendations. Only hard part is that my partner isn’t into horror so it’s hard to watch them.
Ooh that also reminds me of an RTS I impulse bought once and ended up absolutely falling in love with for a long time.
It was called Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. What I most enjoyed was it’s unique factions: a clockwork/steampunk faction, an Arabian Nights inspired faction, and a Chariot of the God’s inspired Mayan/alien faction.
Mighty Be Our Powers by Leymah Gbowee
It’s an autobiography by the woman who is probably most famous for leading a Lysistra-like sex strike in Liberia for peace but she’s also done other cool organizing of woman, and Christians and Muslims in Africa.
I’ve heard really good things about this one. It’s on my list.
There’s no been proof that Tik Tok sends all the data to China or that China manipulates the algorithm. In fact, to appease the US before, they agreed to let Oracle and a purely US subsidiary look at all their code and data and content moderation. Oracle would spot check the data flows and where it goes. Tik Tok would report to Committee on Foreign Investment in the US on everything, even hiring practices. And a 2021 study found Tik Tok didn’t really collect data beyond the norm of other players in the industry, or beyond what it said it did in it’s policy.
Most of the claims by a Tik Tok whistleblower that alleged otherwise seem to be from one guy mad at being fired who’s made wild claims, like Merrick Garland instigated his firing, and he only worked there for 6 months.
All this scaring is literally just because politicians are scared that people in Gaza can use it to report what’s happening to themselves during the genocide, without the blatant censorship of American companies on the issue. Even Romney admitted that’s the reason. I don’t actually use Tik Tok and I think it’s algorithms are bad for our ADHD addled brains, but I would also apply that to YouTube shorts and Instagram stories. They should all be regulated, not banned. Hell, we actually could use more foreign companies that aren’t vulnerable to US censorship, not the opposite. This is especially important since reporters aren’t being let in Gaza and the ones who are are killed. And we’ll probably lose it once they finish their restructuring in Project Texas, although sounds like they’ll be banned before they do.
