I might be an addict.
I saw this and immediately thought, “I would do anything to have this. I wouldn’t have to buy weed for at least sixteen months if I had this.”
WamGams@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Neo-Nazi leader found guilty of plotting attack on Maryland power grid29·5 months agoThis is a really strange fucking case.
He was inspired by an instruction manual that definitely had ties to formal intelligence, rather it be ours, Russia’s or somebody else’s.
There was also a Christmas day power grid attack back in 2022 in Washington state that appears connected to that specific instruction manual, but essentially all information regarding that case is wiped.
But going back to this guy the article is about, a few years prior he made contact with an older gentleman who wrote published white terror manifestos. This case forced the FBI to reveal that the older gentleman had been an FBI source since the 1970s and had even funded the publishing of some of his nazi material.
This case is terrifying and the more people who learn about it the better.

Thank fucking Todd.
About time.
Your link doesn’t work though.
WamGams@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Tucker Carlson's Son Buckley Lands High-Profile Role on J.D. Vance's Team81·5 months agoPretty much confirming here what we all have been saying:
The plan is to get Trump out of the way.
Trump hates Tucker, and the world knows what Tucker has said about Trump, we have the texts.
WamGams@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•FCC reinstates complaints against ABC, CBS and NBC for 2024 election coverage1·6 months agoAt the bare minimum, if liberals started watching PBS for the nightly news, they would be better off.
Only 20% of public broadcasting budget is federally funded and they would need an act of congress to begin moderating content.
Which… the government does not produce the content nor do they own any of the radio stations. PRI & NPR are private companies who produce the content, and the stations, which are community owned, purchase the license to broadcast their content.
The public airwaves are already well protected against Trump and liberals need to get on them before they fall victim to the brainwashing.
WamGams@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•FCC reinstates complaints against ABC, CBS and NBC for 2024 election coverage4·6 months agoTo the best of my knowledge, only about 1% of Americans are watching Fox and CNN on any given night.
I would also say that Fox and CNN viewers tend to be the dumbest and least informed of all news watchers.
Americans have to rebuild our media and we are doing it from the ground up. It is terrifying but the best thing that can happen for the left is for Trump to do the job of the communists without having let them taken power in the process. If he wants to create a power vacuum for us socialists to fill before he realized what he did, fucking let him.
WamGams@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•FCC reinstates complaints against ABC, CBS and NBC for 2024 election coverage332·6 months agoI see the argument that if we let ABC, NBC and CBS fall, nobody is left is big enough to continue the fight.
But I would say they weren’t on our side in the fight this time anyway.
Do we give a fuck if Fonald Trump brings down Disney’s news division? Or GE/Comcast?
Donald Trump can go after any executive he wants as far as I am concerned. Let him focus on them so we can regroup without having the billionaires in control of our side as well.

I will try to have an open mind about it going forward.
I am happy with loops for now though. No longer having the algorithm I don’t miss it. I don’t miss 7 ads per hour, all of them for jedi pajamas or dhubai chocolate that costs $50 per bar.

You were a gem, David.
WamGams@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•U.S. TikTokers flock to Xiaohongshu, baffling and bonding with Chinese users.English0·6 months agoI get that it is the most organic thing you have ever felt, but that should be itself something that makes you raise an eyebrow.
A foreign language service that does not cater to you, in a language you don’t speak, and theoretically has none of your prior data is perfectly catering a social media experience tailored individually to you, and doing it on a level that no corporation who has been targeting and grooming you for 20 years has been able to achieve.
Either your comment itself is inorganic and mere advertising promising impossibilities, or you are a genuine person offering such extreme praise but we need to be skeptical here.
You aren’t saying the app is good. You are saying it is the best experience you have ever been provided, and if that is the case, this app has some explaining to do on how they achieved that.
Genuine or not, your thoughts on the matter are weird, so weird that it becomes hard to even respond to.
WamGams@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•U.S. TikTokers flock to Xiaohongshu, baffling and bonding with Chinese users.English0·6 months agoFrom the article somebody further up posted up, rednote has had about half a million downloads from app stores in the US.
TikTok’s US consumer base is about 136 million if my memory of what was said on NPR a couple mornings ago is accurate.
While I am sure that number will be growing, a lot of the feeling of everybody moving to redhorse appears to be astroturfing.
Like… they had a 50,000 person live event that sounds awfully a lot like like a recruitment seminar/product orientation.
This isn’t organic.

The websites we use have the power to determine whether we believe in genocides or not or if we know the civics of our own community.

I dont think they intend to shrink their sphere of influence.
Proton literally has all of those except for maps.
