Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you feel a kinship with people who drive the same make/model car as you?
3·18 hours agoI did when I drove a Saab. I got it right around 2009 or so when the brand was dying off anyway. GM pretty much killed it, but the market finished it. Anyway, was always fond of them bc they’re safe and they weren’t common in the state anyway.
Now, I give a little rev for other manuals/standard trans I notice at a light as an acknowledgement they’re not alone. I usually get a little smile or nod haha. Easy to tell on flat ground and no brake lights on.
I just use Google Messages, but I’m signed out of the app. Actually, no Google acct on my whole phone. I stick to F-Droid for apps of I need em.
The way I see it, mousy sms stiff goes through the carrier servers I’d not Google, and at least Messages is RCS. However, I’m running XMPP and jmp.chat for a phone number to test out switching entirely and setting up friends and family on my server. Trying to go full hermit mode.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I might shit my pants just a little if I saw this
171·2 days agoSalesmen at a local car dealership would super glue quarters to the parking lot. The porters and/or customers would always try to pick them up, and it brought us so much joy to watch.

politics @lemmy.world•Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution?
1·2 days agoThe beautiful thing is, the Forward Party would endorse a candidate who ran with the same core values and beliefs. Whether that’s a Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian, Reform, independent, etc.

A shameless plug, I know, but I’m so sick of people arguing about which side is better, while actively doing nothing but fueling hate and divide. You realize they (gov & media) monitor online activity and push bots and ads to perpetuate this stuff to keep us preoccupied vs taking action.
If you hate them (current cabinet) despite which side you lean towards, it’s time to take their power by taking their votes!
Likewise, stop spewing hate or disdain towards one another because that’s exactly what keeps the problem around.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Hackers Expose The Massive Surveillance Stack Hiding Inside Your “Age Verification” Check
5·3 days agoWhat country are you in? I literally just did this (US) in my browser and watched (started) 3 different videos with no account or age checks.
Hell yeah! Thanks!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is an old movie that couldn't be made today?
12·3 days agoHeck yeah, the unedited or “Not Rated” DVD version had the uncut scene where she defecates on his chest! Quite funny at the time, but I cannot imagine then doing something like that now, nor all the 9/11 jokes. Plus making fun of NK’s Jim Jong Il. I feel like you couldn’t really do that without stirring the pot at least a little bit.

Technology@lemmy.world•Federal Bill Would Bring OS-Level Age Verification to the Entire U.S.English
1·3 days agoThe other things politicians do, like in Illinois, is introduce one bill, and his other things within it to get things passed outside the normal channels. Like when Pritzker up and banned 170+specific firearms, ammo limitations, threaded barrels, and then started a registration process. Also repealed knowingly spreading HIV illegal, so anyone (by the sound of it-haven’t looked into it much) can sleep with a new partner without disclosing HIV status. I’m assuming that’s to appeal somehow to the LGBTQ community since the bulk of voters are the Chicago area, but some time he purely for just in time for elections.
You might think the firearms thing is OK as it helps cut down on crime. Nope, instead, there’s cashless bail and softer policies towards criminals. We can’t even accurately report those numbers based on how crimes or incidents are categorized. It’s a mess.
He also just made it so that a bulk of the DOT funds go to Chicago roads with little left over for the remainder of the state… The tolls collected by the Chicago area are supposed to help that, but nooo, just keep reallocating funds around election time. Sure.





Yes, it’s as bad if not worse than you think!
I mean the data hoarding, not documentary.
