Worse than ever :( over 14 years, and I have an audience of 4 persons, four persons in fourteen years and 2 months :( who can match that artistic record?

I hope too. Thank you.

Anybody else feel like Lemmy is like 60% Russian trolls lately?

China and Russia both

I don’t think Chromium has “gone bad”? They make a WIndows and macOS build too, not just Linux: https://chromium.woolyss.com/download/en/

It isn’t funny. It’s exactly how Trump got into so much society power in the first place! “Mock mock mockery” behavior!

On The “Contradictory Vaudeville” Of Post-Modern Politics
What this film is going to suggest is that that defeatist response has become a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia…

NOTHING stops this, because people keep mocking back. And it isn’t just one single individual, Donald Trump, but multiple families (Rupert Murdoch, etc) and millions of people who believe QAnon / “Q” without there being any person, just a constant barrage of leadership icons mocking truth, mocking sincerity, mocking the Constitution, it is a media cult of ignorance! NOTHING STOPS IT! 10 years and 10 months of this!

Blah blah blah week :(

Bad Dog seems to have a YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@BadDogDC but they aren’t off to a good start. All the songs they uploaded are marked as YouTube Kids which means you can’t even playlist them.

Twitter / X is the drug, tiny little bits of LSD drug. www.LazyWake.com for video by media expert Marshall McLuhan.

Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

This fits with the “Rumors” of technology company of this community.

I suggest putting bounty awards or running contest (prizes) for open source software related to Beehaw… even $50 for certain feature, make a dedicated website maybe (Beehaw Bounty .org or something)

… how is the week going. Well, beyond words.

“Russia interferes in your brains, we change your conscience, and there is nothing you can do about it.”

That is how my week goes :(

My contribution to Humanity and #MemeLife platforms - I come from BBS days in high school.

Kids these days. In 1776 when I was 7 years old, we MEME war on CB Radio, Breaker 19!

IBM, Lions Gate, Apple, EU… https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-x-antisemitism-twitter-ads-83e68f03e9bf1d261c1a8c55066c4e59

“Je ne vois pas dans la religion le mystère de l’Incarnation mais le mystère de l’Ordre Social. La religion rattache au ciel une idée d’égalité qui empêche le riche d’être massacré par le pauvre.” (Napoléon Bonaparte / 1769-1821 / au Conseil d’Etat, le 4 mars 1806)

Have you see examples of what memes were run by the IRA and CA?

You obviously are so well versed on /c/Politics that you don’t even know what Cambridge Analytica did to the population? Steve Bannon?

When presented with a citations, mocking is a typical symptom of the problem. Low-effort one-line junk responses to a total article.

It’s odd how many people think Fox News language behavior isn’t a concern.

People so strung out on memes they chase any free sample feed, inclusive of Lemmy.

We are in an Information War and I don’t see enough peer to peer friendships being made between The People of China and everyday people in USA, South America, Africa, North America, Europe, Australia, etc.

I don’t see China people on GitHub and YouTube like I did 5 years ago. Maybe the real war is power over technology and all of humanity isn’t winning. Isn’t that another way to interpret Climate Change, an education mistake on a global scale? Advertising and marketing defeating science teachers? The love for the singe-passenger automobile 9 to 5 commute job - exceeding the reality of global climate physics?

Like they say in The Orville - Dolly Parton was a hero! she basically turned out to be a great teacher, like Mr. Rogers on the true problems of childhood. 9 to 5 was kind of like showing children what your divorced single mother was having to go through. Not to say that fit the relationships in the film itself, but the office environment of white collar world. The technology of the Office Workplace and the era of typewriters as business machines.
