“without thinking”

[X]

All I want is a real life iteration of J.A.R.V.I.S. and several billion dollars so I can blurt out cool ideas and have them rendered and built in a couple hours.

I’ll be good I promise.

The US government doesn’t care when its own citizens are being killed, why would they suddenly spring to action when Ukrainian citizens are being killed?

Maybe Ukrainians should start wearing kippah so Congress gets confused and sends them money and weapons.

/s but actually /exorcistvomit

Does anyone know what kind of timeline there might be before the pilots are trained to fly them? Is it something that might have an impact within days/weeks or is it going to be months before they can be used effectively?

We just decided

At least half of them were forced into it by the government and are keen on reminding everyone else about it with their douchey flags.

Even on mobile it’s a couple clicks away from being on or off. Saves me more time than it costs when something doesn’t work the way I want.

Well said, and the things you’ve listed are why I’ve begun to de-google myself. After decades of wishing they’d fix certain products and features or compromising just to keep everything under one roof, I’m done with them.

I appreciate the role they played in helping shape the internet, but I won’t be a part of helping them try to kill it.

The last time the US was attacked by terrorists it was domestic terrorists, and it’s happening basically every day.

Reddit will continue to do things that push the users away. As apps and accessibility to Lemmy improve, hopefully quality posts and comments will continue to grow.

YouTube filtering is fairly unique to YouTube since they serve ads so aggressively so it’s unlikely to help on other sites.

Same thoughts here.

Watching the world’s reaction to the Ukraine/Russia conflict compared to the Israel/Palestine conflict is equally baffling.

The world’s moral compass spins like a top. At what point can we just declare all these attacks and wars unjust and a waste of life and resources?

We have the technology and resources to make a utopia for all humanity but instead we spend our time and money coming up with new ways to kill each other and reasons to be hateful. It’s only going to get worse as the world shrinks from climate shift.

What a time to be alive. History will look back on us with disgust.

It’s a shit show largely enabled by the US.
