And the US set a record in 2023 with 40% of energy production from renewables. Mainly due to legislation from the current administration. Unhappy progressives need to acknowledge Biden is fighting the good fight on climate change. I wonder what will happen if the orange bezoar gets elected?

Any citizen of the US that votes for this bozo should forfeit their citizenship.

Such a thing shouldn’t exist.

At this point, Republicans are the biggest non believers on the planet. Everything they think or due is driven by hate. How is that consistent with Biblical teachings?

Maybe. But it does change what YOU know to be the definition. Makes it easier to separate the people from the word.

So you’re making your own definition of woke and you don’t like the definition you’ve settled on. Got it.

Feel free to take the definition I’ve give you and use it to educate others.

I just gave you the definition of woke from the American politician who is the most “anti-woke”. How in the world can you interpret that definition as meaning it’s racist to treat all races equally?

Are you a racist, sexist bigot? If not, this woke stuff shouldn’t really bother you.

The definition of woke: “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

-Ron DeSantis chief counsel

Anyone that would argue woke is bad is a racist, sexist, bigot

You do realize that the US tried to switch to metric for 6 months in the 70s and it was a giant failure so we switched back, yes? Do you think 2023 America is smarter than 1970s America lol?

Edit: not sure why downvotes. I am in favor of switching US to metric. But historically it didn’t work.

You may have nothing to hide, but you have everything to protect.

Hypothetical: if everyone has access to your data and habits it is trivial to modify that data to frame you for nefarious activities. In other words, why the fuck would you want every rando to be searching in your underwear drawer?

I’m more interested in privacy to prevent access to my data stream and PLANTING incriminating data. It’s a hell of a lot easier to frame someone when you have easy access to their devices.

TL/DR; You may have nothing to hide but you’ve got plenty to protect.

Apple has said they’ll pull out of UK if required. I won’t use any software that abides.

I moved to lemmy.ml

Microsoft did this with Office document formats, effectively killing OpenDocument and dramatically reducing the power of LibreOffice, etc. Threads will incorporate features that are not available in the open source versions of lemmy, driving users to their platform and marginalizing the open source versions. All the while sucking up user data and ignoring user privacy. Are we not stewards for user privacy for ALL users, not just the savvy ones?

Where have you read that lemmyworld has no intention of blocking Threads? I will leave as well if true.

Please remember the example of Microsoft and open source office document formats. And in the early days of Internet Explorer with HTML. The risk here is that Threads will embrace the fediverse for a bit. Then they will incorporate features that are only available in Threads that will bleed users away from the open source options. All the while vacuuming up user data for profit while having distain for user privacy. Why would we want to allow them to cast aside the privacy for only one of our users? Are we not going to act like stewards for open source and protection of user privacy?
