This is an indicator that every other company staying in the UK is complying with backdoor demands.

Yeah. Surely we can believe the anti-China stuff! Our own government wouldn’t lie to us! /s

So just blatant Sinophobia.

Haha. Yeah man, you’re not hyper focused on total cost of ownership. They know their audience!

The people who can reason that out probably aren’t very religious.

This is intentional. There’s a contingent of Lemmy power users who are actively sabotaging a push to make it more accessible. Every time this comes up, they openly admit their intentions are to keep it niche, and continue gatekeeping.

Jeep owners are the perfect target for this. Not exactly the kind of people doing a lot of research before purchasing a vehicle. Or else they wouldn’t buy a jeep.

Yep. Like holding a jump rope between two people, and one of them sends a wave through it to the other. The force still has to travel through the material.

No more non-federated social media. Centralized control will always be abused by tech sociopaths and government oppression.

Phones absolutely listen. But they probably process the speech locally, unless there’s a trigger word flagged, and send mostly text.

But then it was found Google would upload the audio when a zipper sound was heard, so who knows how often your triggering spy conditions.

I dunno. I guess another ideology that’s comfortable with spreading Big Ag disinfo. Trying to also spin it into a Trump own implied lib.

You tell me. What political ideology is driving you to post nonsense?

Why would I have to ask “them”? You’re right here standing on the claim.

Of course Trump can’t do anything to lower the price of food. Neither party is capable of doing that, because neither is willing to fight corporate grocers and farmers. But I notice both the libs & conservatives are working hand-in-hand to deny coverage to the bird flu outbreak. Putting the egg price on Trump just seems like your side’s version of pandemic denial in service of Big Ag.

Do libs really believe Trump is causing the egg prices, or are y’all just trying to help keep bird flu out of the public discussion?

Apple TV is rad, because you can pair it with a controller, and use the Steam link app to play on your computer from another room.

No need to have the computer near the tv for couch gaming. No need to listen to the pc fans screaming.

And in those circumstances, the loss of life was even less of a hit. In a civil war, for every American you order shot, that’s one less customer or soldier you have, and that’s if the soldier you ordered to do the killing doesn’t just turn on you or refuse. Your position becomes weaker, even if you gain ground anywhere.

Just the small percentage of people killed or disabled by Covid absolutely shook the labor market. Imagine what killing people in civil war would do. Suddenly the wealth they fought to protect evaporates through efforts to preserve control, and they’re left with neither.

That’s been the outcome of every war we’ve fought for 50+ years. We just lost a 20 year war against goat herders.

Guerrilla Warfare by Che Guevara is a good starting point.

For sure, but they’re escalating tactics.

They already dropped the charges against the bail fund organizers, but prosecuting them was never the point. They still scared a bunch of people, and tied up resources in their legal defense.

Also, I would not be surprised if Georgia was just the testing ground for these tactics.

Be mindful of local risks. In trying to end the Stop Cop City protests, the Georgia attorney general has declared all of these self-protection tactics to be criminal intent. Not bringing your phone to be tracked at the protest, or bringing a burner, is enough to get arrested in Georgia.

Granted, it’s just a scare tactic, and I don’t think any of this would hold up in court. But simply being arrested for something like this is enough to ruin some people’s lives.

I’m not trying to dissuade anyone at all, but I think people should know what they’re getting into. This AG has his eyes on the governor’s mansion, and he’s going completely off the rails to make a name for himself.

I’m afraid you can’t vote or protest your way out of fascism. Only way out is to shoot.
