FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech workerEnglish21·4 months agoThe future vice president of America is close with the leaders of the neoreactionary movement. I suppose, I wonder if a positive public opinion would make it easier for them to mobilize.
Edit: ending up with support from both sides of the isle.
FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech workerEnglish31·4 months agoThat’s a sensible way to look at it. People’s actions can be separate from thier outlook, and that’s ok.
FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech workerEnglish21·4 months agoFair take. That wasn’t my intention, although, now, I suppose that maybe a natural progression.
I admit, there is definitely a disconnect, considering his actions, but, I really am torn on the idea. I guess, I question that if (and big if) his intention is to build this type of future, would his actions be enough to make others sympathetic to his cause? If, or at what point, people turn away?
FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech workerEnglish2·4 months agoIt could just be the tech culture he was around, and not the actual reasoning. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech workerEnglish611·4 months agoDoes everyone still feel the same if he turns out to be a neoreactionary / accelerationist?
Per The San Francisco Standard
Mangione gave Ted Kaczynski’s book “Industrial Society and Its Future” four out of five stars, writing that the man known as the Unabomber was “rightfully imprisoned” for “maiming innocent people” but noting that his actions were “those of an extreme political revolutionary.”
Mangione’s social media accounts paint a picture of a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for conservative thinkers. He has retweeted posts from right-wing capitalists like Peter Thiel and lists an applauding biography of Elon Musk as one of his favorites on GoodReads.

There were accounts, posting seemingly “up to date” information with no way to really fact check. There were some political “personal” accounts just testing the waters with BS. Stuff like: “It’s me. I’m not going to say anything else yet, but, here I am.” It made it kinda hard to discern.
FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Under Trump will anything happen to my brothers Social Security Disability? He is 42 and draws it for mental illness.English7·5 months agoIf Trump somehow can eliminate taxes on social security, the fund will have to reduce benefits sooner than projected. The cut will only benefit 40% of recipients that pay taxes, and that lack of extra funds comming into the system will bring it closer to insolvency, sooner rather than later. So unless your brother is one the 40% that will immediately benefit from the tax cut, he’ll get to look forward to lower payments sometime in the nearer future.

FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Exclusive: Trump plans no exemption for oil imports under new tariff plan, sources sayEnglish31·5 months agoOK. I know this sounds ridiculous, but…what if this is all a secret agenda to prepare us for climate change? Make it too expensive to use gas or drive or buy stuff or buy food.
They slowly ween us off of our dependence on…everything, while making us think it was our idea. (Cause climate change doesn’t exist) We would have to go back to living with nothing, poor, and growing our own food. Everyone that can’t keep up is given a free meal and work…in jail.
I know, I know. I was just pretending there was a bit of some sort of humanity in this train wreck.
FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Niantic uses Pokémon Go player data to build AI navigation systemEnglish1·5 months agoYou’d be surprised how a pokemon go player will open the app in the middle of the wilderness, even with one questionable reception bar, just to see if there’s a secret rare pokemon that lives there. Bonus if you get a postcard from a pokestop someone submitted, because that trail mile marker is “special.” You can keep it for memories, or send it to a friend you’ve never spoken to, for bragging rights. It’s also not unheard of, for people to crawl through backroads in their car, since the app won’t let catch pokemon or count km’s, if you go more than ±15 mph.

There is definitely time and patience involved to get it right on a consistent basis.
Never tried it camping before. Great idea!

FarFarAway@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Top AI expert 'completely terrified' of 2024 election, shaping up to be 'tsunami of misinformation'English1·1 year agoYou have a point. I sometimes definitely forget to consider the flip side of the coin.
Actually the die mart was my very closest convenience store. Nice guy from Nepal was always behind the counter. Homeless guy would sleep behind the trash cans on the side. Once, he overdosed at the bus stop across the street. Although, the signs lights were out before this happened, maybe there’s more to the name than we realize…
