I think allot of Banks have a ton of assets tied up in commercial real estate. This is the real reason they are pushing everyone to go back to work. A lot of powerful people will loss money if the commercial real estate market crashes.

You don’t have to even disable it, just turn off voice commands. You can still activate it by pushing a button. Personally Ive been using Bing chat over Google assistant for a few months now.

I use this https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt works well for NYTimes. you just add this list to your favorite adblocker I use Firefox with Ublock

I think it was more that in the early days of the Nazi party they did accept socialists. It was more of a big tent party because they needed to attract members. Hitler was never a fan of socialism and as he gained power he purged the socialists from the party.

I think there is a difference between uprooting your entire life to move to a foreign country, and deleting an app

Wastewater Operator. We have an older gentleman at my job who refuses to use computers at all. We still do everything with paper and pen. Nothing is digitized.

There’s no data in Central New Jersey where I live

For now. The important thing is that there is an alternative place for people to go when Reddit does things they don’t like. Everytime Reddit does something that angers their users this place will grow.

It would be far easier to start a populist movement that reigned in corporations. The problem with revolutions is you never know who’s going to to end up on top at the end. Most likely the new regime will be just as bad as the old. I think what we actually need is more democracy. I like the idea of a democratic referendum that allows the people to force the government into action.

I’ve tried a few apps, but I keep going back to Jerboa

Thrift is a professional grade drain cleaner a plumber recommended to me. It’s powerful stuff so make sure you wear gloves and a mask. It cuts through everything.

Yeah I think iPad’s are clearly better than any android tablet.

Pixels give you 5 years now same as iphone.

Isn’t threads a Twitter clone? Will it even effect Lemmy? For me personally I don’t use Mastodon, but I might if threads is successful. I use Twitter to follow famous people I like. If famous people move to the fediverse because of threads that will only make sites like Mastodon better in my opinion.

Yeah I think In a year or two this will be just as good as Reddit, maybe better. Personally I prefer Lemmy, it reminds me of Reddit before it gained mass appeal. The important thing is now there is a viable alternative to Reddit. Everytime Reddit does something controversial, this site will gain a wave of new users.

Taxation was the main reason for the war. Britain had levied some new taxes to recoup the cost of the French and Indian war. It put a significant strain on the economy.

I think most revolutions just lead to a new ruling class that is just as bad as the old. It didn’t take Stalin long to become just as bad as the Czar. After fighting a war to stop taxation from Britain, one of the first things Washington did was put down a rebellion to enforce a federal tax on whiskey.

Democracy is good for the oligarchs. Trump is a populist. The oligarchs definitely don’t like him. Even the Koch family is against him.

You don’t need a college degree to work in the trades. This is a point of contention because I’ve heard people say many times they don’t want their tax dollars going towards someone’s liberal arts degree. I’m a wastewater operator. I have a degree but allot of the people I work with don’t.

Or just force all Louisiana onto a server not hosted in US. What could they do?
