They’re not rebuilding anything. They’re just adding back doors everywhere. If anyone hasn’t learned yet, these are crackpot script kiddies at best. Even If somehow control is take away from them, they are now going to definitely have to redo the entire thing to make sure none of their shit code survives.

As long as you don’t let too much magic smoke escape.

Do we really want something that is completely incapable of making proper, sound decisions running around in your house? “Hello human, I see rocks are good for you. Eat this rock! Why are you resisting sustenance? Let me call an ambulance you seem to be ill and your teeth are falling out” That’s just an example of Gemini powered robot.

A broken clock is right two times a day I suppose.

This sounds like the machine from Idiocracy that prints your ID on your arm. First Name: “Not” Last name: “Sure” Tattooing “Not Sure” on your arm for identification!

Good thing made up stories from social media prompt lawmakers to pass laws at record breaking speed rather than do something about the fires burning right in front of them. Let’s see what other bullshit that can be made up to get things done!

Two sides of the same coin if you will.

Let’s not forget Something Awful and YTMND now. Should reboot those too. Maybe assemble them all together like Vultron or something.

Digg lost its popularity for the same reason Reddit is. It started taking investment money and began to please only the share holders. Yeah it’s private owned again, but they will just repeat the cycle because the temptation is there.

I’ve only been using Lemmy for a few months, but it seems to me that taking any instance public will not be a feasible business model. i don’t recommend anyone go back to digg unless you just like watching enshitification happen. Should they reboot Ebaulmsworld while they’re at it? I know that last statement struck a nerve!

You know what’s a great backup? The ability to read a map or use a compass. This is set up to get Starlink or another billionaire to own GPS.

Sort what you know is predictable bs. For example, you know the bad actors are going to always say or do outrageous things for distraction. I use the uBlock Origin browser plugin with filters for “Trump” “Elon” “Maga” and most news sites have about 2 or 3 articles worth reading. Entries even get blanked on Lemmy. Instead of seeing “TRUMP, ELON, MAGA DO THIS!!!” You now see “Secretary of Defense halts Cybersecurity from offensive attacks on Russia” from a decent source. This narrows most news to either things that may affect you directly or helps you build a better informed opinion. Also, if you are in the US, take every opinion from the house of reps and the senate and throw it in the trash. Until they quit acting like children and begin negotiating like adults, they have absolutely nothing good to say. That’s a good chunk of the “news” right there. So when you see stuff like “REP INTRODUCES BILL TO …” just stop reading. If you care to look further look for the bill number and actually read it. Most of the time it’s really stupid crap tactics just to rile up the public. They have been doing that for well over a century. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

tl;dr: sort the troll news.

I remember a time when Google wrote “Don’t be evil” all over their stuff…

In some agencies, you are trained to disobey an unethical or unlawful order. I guess people just rapidly clicked through the power point slides on mandatory training days.

Can start with people not directing anyone to the .ml, or .ml like instances for starters. Maybe even sticky that the top.

I can see this going absolutely side ways when your mind tries to cope with where 1000+ hours of your life went. Also you’d probably get 1000+ hours of ads beamed into your brain to make up for that gap of time, unless you pay for the “Memory+” or “Memory Max” tier, with just slightly less ads. Would be cool to experience a game for the first time again, but I would just read a book or share gaming “war stories” with my imaginary buddies.

Ever notice that every cash grab that’s funneled from the US government into corporations is always 80 billion dollars? Where is the line for this because it happens a lot.

You have to rub literal tons of cash into their face before you can rub their face into the mess they created. It also helps to be Russian. I don’t know I’m just sayin’.

Where does one sign up for the Monopoly version of the justice system?

Gold Medalist in mental gymnastics right here.

I don’t even … Just odd.
