Violence was pretty common in those days. The problem with the German opposition is that they were waiting for a red line. But the nazis incrementally racheted up their actions so they didn’t recognize that red line until it was too late.
Everyone knows what you mean if you say you’re American
This, OP - this is the right answer. Take all the opportunies you can. AOC recently said it best: you won’t regret anything you try. Some of it won’t work but if we all work now and keep trying things we can make a difference.
In the 1930s in Germany there was a group that basically tasked itself with the protection of democracy and they waited for a signal from leadership that never came. Because leadership was waiting for the one moment. Don’t wait, try things.
But what, you say, well we’re in uncharted territory now but: join activist groups, protest, make memes, call your congresspeople, if you’re in the gov’t somewhere - gum up the works, if you have money - give to liberty advocates, think of things I haven’t thought of here and do them, and bring friends.
The important thing is that we all do something, and keep doing something. They can only win when we let them.
She better be ready for a fight because the music industry execs are salivating at the potential for firing all their artists and replacing them with AI
Yeah I was thinking about this the other day after watching some Twilight Zone or something. It’s interesting that a lot of our fantasy/sci-fi is about how pathetic humanity might be compared to alien beings, especially since in reality we actualy play the role of the highly superior beings.
Yes and last I checked it was pretty difficult to buy undiluted nicotine at all
Health care is not compatible with the free market as health care is logically something people would pay anything for.
Poorly regulated economy really
Anyone who makes that argument has no idea how bad things can get and how fast.
I think you’re right that it’s simple.
If I stole a book to learn from I could be prosecuted for shoplifting. They stole millions of books for their AI to learn from. Seems cut and dry to me.
Yup, the free market and health care are not compatible because the free market works on principles of supply and demand. But when you have a limited resource that people will literally pay anything for (their health) - well you can see where the problem is.
Nice thanks, always good to have options
Thanks for the suggestion, hadn’t heard of it.
So I guess it’s a VPN software - would that solve all three needs in one? I can see how it works for remote files but not as well how it would help with the other two.
Amazing, thanks - I’ll look into them.
Is there room here to ask about software? I’ve been interested lately about getting into hosting my own server for multiple things. It’d be nice to be able to access it remotely for files for work, as a media server locally and remotely, and to access my Stable Diffusion instance remotely. I suppose those all require different solutions right? I’d love to know more!
Agreed, they don’t even have the cash cow that some other free OSes have in their app stores.
I try to get out but you drag me back in
The only reason this might see real legal action is that FB did this to other megacorps.
Ha I should have known someone else here would have the same first thought as I did. Didn’t turn out so well for me and my buddy though - our stuff and our boat is still somewhere in the void.
