I agree that it’s probably a sensational article. No matter what the numbers actually are - it’s too early to draw a line to Trumps policy decisions.

It’s cherry picking, but I’ll point out the 15% increase in the cost of eggs due to Avian flu. I mean, if we blamed Biden for inflation over the last several years then we can place this at Trump’s door step surely?

In any case, I look forward to seeing the MAGA-splaining in the coming months.

Yeah.

I mean I didn’t buy $15 in bitcoin 15 years ago (have never bought any, never will), and I’m not obsessed about it.

Is it really any different for this guy?

As someone who’s out of the loop may I ask what the story is?

What I’m getting is that he’s a wealthy has been who has some unmedicated mental health problems which manifest in these spectacular public brain farts.

Is that all there is to it or is there some explanation for the antisemitism?

That doesn’t mean that reprisals are a realistic possibility.

People manage all sorts of risks every day.

It’s not a question of whether some infinitesimal risk exists, it’s a question of whether removing names is an appropriate mitigation.

Obviously you think that it is, but I think most people value transparency and accountability. The elephant in the room here is that anonymity would hypothetically allow service members to act with impunity.

I’m sure you can see the risks in having service members escort detainees with no accountability for their actions.

Is this a realistic possibility?

Why would a cartel kick that hornets nest?

The top level comment says it’s not legal.

The comment you replied to is saying that’s not true, and that hyperbole doesn’t help.

Your comment says that legality is not morality.

Settle down, take a deep breath, and think about what you’re saying.

I don’t necessarily dislike “AI” but I reserve the right to be derisive about inappropriate use, which seems to be pretty much every use.

Using AI to find pertoglyphs in Peru was cool. Reviewing medical scans is pretty great. Everything else is shit.

If it doesn’t work then quick cheap and easy I’d pointless.

I’ll make you dinner every night for free but one night a week it will make you ill. Maybe a little maybe a lot.

Yeah.

I’m sure that shopify is a shitty company, but this doesn’t strike me as any more shitty than any other retailer.

I mean, you can’t have your staff telling people to reduce the amount of plastic they buy.

You raise a good point.

I’m much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.

I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don’t seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it’s just part of the show.

The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that “some” ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn’t have been aware of otherwise. I’ll take blissful ignorance thanks.

So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.

There’s just no way I’m ever going to do this.

Honestly, I’d rather go forage for twigs and berries than interact with ads.

Naming things is complicated.

It’s not really a case where some organisation has the authority to name something. Rather people just call something a name, and organisations adopt that name.

I don’t really understand lemmy’s derision for this opinion.

It’s the obvious outcome. Luigi might be a hero but he’s going to jail.

I’m sure that this seems obvious to you, but it’s not clear to me… are you saying that human to human transmission isn’t worth worrying about, even if the virus mutated to be more infectious between humans?

Having a quick read, it seems like infections in humans range from unnoticeable to very severe, so I guess it’s going to be a question of the ratio between severe and mild cases, which is unknown level given that we would need a mutation before it became relevant.

Did I just answer my own question?

In any case, this threat to your dairy must be very stressful. Good luck!

Settle down mate.

I didn’t say defaced websites are going to take down the government.

My implication was that it would be more effective than ranting on social media.

that is what I would do

No you wouldn’t.

It’s not about money and humanity though.

It’s about punishing “other” people.

Yeah. I’ve only spent a few moments skimming through the linked article but if you were part of a legitimate hacktivism group planning a significant operation why would you publish this statement ?

It’s really just spooky hyperbole - as though written by an adolescent that want’s to sound scary and powerful.

I would absolutely love to see hacktivists cause some chaos, and maybe even some real financial harm.

I’m not going to write off hacktivism so quickly.

Even if it’s just a few defaced websites now and then, that’s a whole lot more effective than any other sort of activism I’ve seen to date.

Historically authoritarians tend not to return control to democratic processes. That is to say, you become the threat you’re trying to avoid.
