daikiki@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL american public support for requiring vaccines against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last yearEnglish221·12 days agoWe’re doomed. If 51% of the country has decided, based on a neverending stream of lies, that we should all die rather than receive basic health care, then there’s really nothing much left to argue about. America has has decided it would rather commit suicide than acknowledge that there are people who DO know what they’re talking about and actually listen to them.
That’s it. We’re done. We’re all gonna die of some easily preventable plague because we didn’t fucking ostracize these idiots twenty years ago. The country is now run by the people who actually believe the comical lies the GOP used to tell to keep the idiots compliant. I don’t think you can come back from that.

His real name is supposed to be a state secret.19·1 month agoHeadline is misleading. The commander of Israel’s tech intelligence unit doxxed himself. Which makes you wonder how he got to be the commander of Israel’s tech intelligence unit.

daikiki@lemmy.worldto Formula 1@lemmy.world•Ben Sulayem studying F1 cost cap, considering eliminating it due to management challenges for FIA25·4 months agoMBS is a stain on humanity. Not because of this, but this is profoundly stupid. If he’s considering abolishing the cost cap because the bureaucracy is hard, he might as well do away with weight limits, fuel regulations, and track limits. All of those things are hard to keep track of. They require cameras and scales and accountants and all of that costs money and effort, so he figures, ‘let’s do away with it’, not realizing that without all of that shit, the FIA is just a logo and a wikipedia entry.

I just wish he’d played it more gracefully these last 30 or so years.

What’s illegal is when you feed those books into your reality devouring content monster and it outputs all that copyrighted content in a slightly different order and you profit off that content vomit.

This is an old towpath, and the bridge is designed in such a fashion that horses towing barges can switch sides without having to unhitch.

daikiki@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Motorola Outsources 90% of Its Phones, Xiaomi 78%, Vivo 52%, While Apple Outsources NoneEnglish22·10 months agoIn case you were wondering, they’re saying that Apple doesn’t outsource its design. It outsources its fabrication like nobody’s business. I always kinda thought that’s what outsourcing meant, but apparently there are companies that neither design nor fabricate their products. I guess their core competency is just taking the money.

daikiki@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Media Outsourced Jobs to Mexico Even as Trump Pushes “America First”101·11 months agoHe’s not pushing “America First”. He’s just saying “America First”. He has no intention, should he somehow come to power again, on acting on it. He won’t act meaningfully on anything he says.
We know this because this has happened before. He ran on hating brown people and queer people, but when he became president in spite of the fact that he got significantly fewer votes than his opponent, the only meaningful thing he did was massively increase the deficit and give that money to rich people, to the tune of twenty thousand dollars from every man, woman, and child in the country. And also sell state secrets to comparatively minor regional powers in the east. And we mustn’t forget the million-plus excess deaths he presided over because he seems to legitimately think that things he doesn’t understand can’t be understood so just say whatever and let the corpses fall where they will.
The news outlets who report on this shit know this, but as far as I can tell they don’t want to report on any of it because they’re worried idiots will be mad at them. We need a better way, but before we can have a better way, we need to smite this movement. Nothing good can possibly come of it for anybody but Trump himself. Even his followers only stand to lose.
Okay, so there’s two shows from the nineties about shopping malls in space. . .
