Yeah, not a choice any of us who work in tech can make. But the small choices we CAN make do add up significantly.

Xulai@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•‘I worked so damn hard’: Biden laments changes in U.S. since he left office - National956·20 days agoExactly, this.
But wait, there’s more…
Enabling a genocide- something all the candidates were going to do anyway- is deeply unpopular.
Supporting Israel at the expense of US citizens isn’t okay under any circumstances or leader. It is time to end this farce; the only folks who don’t listen are the ones being paid not to.
Amazon is already dead to us. Just like Tesla, Target, Starbucks, and Meta.
They will never be purchased from, or supported in any way- ever again.
Xulai@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•The Ugliness of the ‘Big, Beautiful’ Bill, in Charts - The New York Times121·21 days agoThey aren’t bootlicking, they’re telling you the fucking truth and you are too thick skulled and poorly educated to understand it… proving their point.
US citizens elected Trump. They believed the blatant lies despite being told the truth.
That’s all there is to it.
We are genuinely so fucking stupid as a society that we (not me- citizens in general) voted to give up all our rights and enable a Hitler wanna be.
And we are too stupid to understand that all it would take is a couple hundred thousand of us marching into DC and guillotining every member of government that allowed this, then allowing the military to conduct new elections with stricter rules. This process is literally in our constitution. Second amendment.
Prevent public officials from lying by law, stop lobbying, stop allowing money to matter in politics (no candidate may spend money on advertising of any kind.)
Each candidate gets one hour on free, live television/streaming to present their campaign. If they lie at any point, they are immediately disqualified. Then there is one debate. Lies are immediately disqualifying from public office here, too.
That’s it. Simple as can be.
But US citizens are too stupid.

“Intelligent People Understand the Limits and Dangers of AI; Unfortunately AI Company Leaders Do Not, and Seek to Silence Opposition”
Xulai@mander.xyzto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?134·27 days agoIt doesn’t seem like you understand how to speak properly.
Pseudo intellectualism is when people present false or illogical statements as fact.
And right now, the only person doing that is you.
Xulai@mander.xyzto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?123·27 days agoSounds like a citizen or fed that is fat on propaganda swallowed whole and without thought is angry that others don’t share his delusions.
Agree.
Complaining about civility is the first step toward letting morons rule.
If one is making foolish or false statements, one should expect to be humiliated. Come back when you are better educated.
If one is being an asshole for no good reason or making false accusations against another due to losing an argument, they should understand that they are now a legitimate target for everyone to dump on with impunity.
Being confidently wrong, or an asshole without cause deserves equal or greater consequences to the harm caused. Public shaming via humiliation - aka incivility - is more effective than actual punishment or moderation.
