Long term that&#39;s better than encouraging and directing the violence elsewhere. We do have avenues to make them change, they do feel social pressures, demoralizing them does actually work well. Encouraging violence is counterproductive if we want a world without violence. 2026-02-13T18:39:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrptz4d8dp4yjk445x6mtxgmwj54c3rc6kus66fj0zvl4skupwr3gzyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs26lj29g In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsta599zdwzvy4gftm04h0u2hy99upmapesdvee502l2cxzljrhfgq3th7sm'>nevent1q…h7sm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think being extremely online helps to see this, with all the people creating art or open source programs in their limited free time, and then sharing it freely. 2025-12-11T19:22:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd93cu2lk7kgy7ruw3ua495wqucjekvpd3a0fctpumgk38kv3aamszyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs2fvhglw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxrmfder57qdj7js35sh6ytddh40xjllgttsgaa7xl2axw23fn2kqznm946'>nevent1q…m946</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They added reactions to outlook (and teams) at work, and it&#39;s a trip. 2025-10-05T05:01:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrffdhuhjc4zjwwfxrqrv2ww7ayu4z5mqj89vdxxhemjezmdeh0cczyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs250326p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2ha44cksfnvxc42m9dfe3ex59p4ychwutegmnztqx0hgctlr7k9gzucn5e'>nevent1q…cn5e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think it really depends on public opinion. Like, if we had an effective opposition, with how unpopular Trump is and only getting worse, the military could point to that and I think they *would*. But we need that public sentiment they can see and point to. It needs to be clear that the majority of people don&#39;t support Trump. And honestly we are not there yet. <br/><br/>(And a major part of the problem is that the people who are supposed to be making that case, the Democratic party, are completely useless. So it&#39;s left to us citizens talking to the people around us an posting on the internet, which is working, but I worry too slowly.) 2025-10-03T18:14:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswrszrt3k6746k90ww3uyy5gnjnpj0crssq6guk89xrxjyukyte8czyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs26lhtxx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrj9ze3ep82x3qeuduux06f6el8eykpdu9l0l3fsus37mqcl2zvjg6ys7ve'>nevent1q…s7ve</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Going to respectively disagree on this one. The military is stonewalling and dragging its heels as much as possible. That&#39;s what it should be doing, generals are unelected officials, so they should do their responsibilities to the best they can, which includes pushing back against unconstitutional orders and preventing the military from attacking civilians, and they are doing that. They are holding to the constitution the best they can, and part of that, a necessary part, is holding to their nonpartisan role. <br/><br/>I will spare no criticism for the Democrats. Their job is to be that opposition, make the case how this is unconstitutional, and rally the people. They have let this fester over the last few decades, and they still lack the spine to do anything about it now. It *is* their job. 2025-10-03T18:06:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8h3zwuuazu8mc0d0pkearwm7lj8dr6q6l8m8yw5xw04jwglvcr5gzyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs2wndxz9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxl6lesjdh233elretm57vfrdamjncfrtfruj2mlwheup28ckjjasxfe7e8'>nevent1q…e7e8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s more that it is *ingrained* in the military that you are nonpartisan and serve the people via elected leaders. And that&#39;s good, we don&#39;t want the military thinking about taking over. The real problem is that Democrats are not leading. Like if elected officials are out there saying saying shit is unconstitutional, then the military can look to that as the will of the people. Same with giant protests (it is legitimately one of the points of them, although lack of media coverage hurts that). So the military does it&#39;s best to keep a lid on things, because they shouldn&#39;t be making the first move. I don&#39;t think that&#39;s a bad thing tbh. 2025-10-03T17:54:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0r0442wmltv66cgplywfa6gcgevkxhpml3t3ahafce2pd8ccesxgzyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs20dqz7l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0yvrlnte8vyk3nklmqqd7awvlnurdlpf9stg03gsy03tvdt36ssqh3rwn9'>nevent1q…rwn9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We came to Denver a few years back for a &#34;boys trip&#34;, and the only reason I was able to convince some of the guys to take the train from the airport instead of an uber was because it was free. Was very cool, helped make the train more used and kept a car or two from making a trip. 2025-06-25T16:15:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgtd2qvthnxz855lrm09tsvnlssnxtp3f07mxl2ngpa9f0cgtlcpczyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs28vd52z In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8zla8s7yssvkqud9hh9esngn2nerzrvj2wsx96lf82mfd70rmtgsh9puyu'>nevent1q…puyu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Democratic leadership doesn&#39;t want to change or retire, or even listen to anyone outside their elite social circle. So they fixate on their friends the op ed writers (or Chuck Schumer&#39;s imaginary family) that validate them doing that. They really need to listen to actual people, or even better yet, retire and stop getting in the way.<br/> <img src="https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/114/592/959/655/812/282/original/136d0fced742e1b5.png"> <br/> 2025-05-29T20:19:40Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsppwf9qnk0ae829rmzyuxp7zs56yk6tqm4kds64de3lq6687v5pmgzyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs2837hh0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs90qtn5g886rgptmzsujlyh5x3r3whvetrka49jf8s3j2kn98nadspt2t79'>nevent1q…2t79</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Memes are coping, and also allow people to feel united, which are both important. We do have to organize, and do more than meme, but we also have to survive the next four years to even have a chance. It&#39;s going to be really fucking hard, and attacking each other and denying people small joys and coping mechanisms is not going to help. We have to organize and support each other, and we are going to have to sustain these efforts for years. 2024-11-06T18:44:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvpm74qcnfay8umhasrdx94m0rswxzhnckjz2h7w66dvl0gdxqxpszyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs29vppl5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswwxlcwkclzhjefw2x8mwmtt65z2zq4p05u5qx4tft3vm7k8t64hqt2m9dl'>nevent1q…m9dl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I recently read Small is Beautiful, and 50 years ago this economist was talking about how growth was not sustainable and we needed to consider people, not just profit, in decision making. <br/><br/>Idk, I&#39;ve become convinced that we want more small local companies, and we should incentivize profit, size, and growth less. I feel like properly taxing the super rich would be a good start in realigning incentives away from profit at all costs. 2024-10-30T16:50:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8e487vrr5zjfw2za9srj4ver7qfrp6gsz49z3rf3xj7zl2j3kssczyp8hjutxxzjahuueuvc62td8gs4te6h4yqw4qeazm3uus63z8nfs2zhcfwp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2qk9yqghjj8xy3zqzgyrmkpl76cd8amrjqqts4vltcnzx4u6ejksx9ql2c'>nevent1q…ql2c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Provided you own it.<br/><br/>T-Mobile doesn&#39;t unlock yours if you buy on one of their deals/installment plans. *But*, if it is a deal, you can pay it off in full, they will unlock it, and you receive a discount on your monthly bill.

It&#39;s not even just about the privacy issue; we already know what that looks like and we don&#39;t want it. The core premise of Mark Surman, Mozilla&#39;s President, is that &#34;We can’t just ignore online advertising — it’s a major driver of how the internet works and is funded.&#34;<br/><br/>We can actually. We need to explore other models. And people are, but it sure would help if they had access to the resources of an organization as large as Mozilla. An organization large enough to be a driver of how the internet works and is funded. Really wish they would show some vision, instead of following down a path when we *know* where it leads. 2024-10-04T17:23:52Z
