Not only governance suffers.

Entertain me for a moment. Imagine a utopia in which you don’t need to distrust technology or guard yourself against the companies that control it. No data harvesting or sharing; your privacy, likes and preferences safe and your own. No schemes to come up with algorithms that enrage you and dominate your attention. Imagine that you could trust LLMs to be trained with only the best, curated sources and where their operation is completely open and transparent. Imagine how we would express ourselves through our tech and through social media. Technology would become deeply, deeply personal, benign, helpful and at the service of humankind… as it should be.

The idea is so crazy that it is borderline unthinkable, right?

No need for arms. Already being invaded by welthy gentrifying from the North. Most locals can’t afford coastal properties any longer.

Is it possible to block an entire domain from your feed in Lemmy? Say, like NewsWeek?

You could, maybe, try to make the argument that the use of the term “pro-business” is not meant in a laudatory sense. However, I find even this to be a stretch and, especially, if the article is written for an international audience.

They could have well framed the article around the the multiple controversies surrounding these characters. Heck, Mulino (who is standing in for Panama’s criminally condemned former President), is said to visit Cuba with certain frequency or, at the very least, uses a private jet that does.

Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.*

I agree. The priority implicit in the framing is backwards. It’s kind of fucked up to say “fueling the economy needs babies,” rather than “the economy needs to be adjusted to the falling birthrates.”

It just wraps around, like a videogame. Duh…

old.lemmy.world appears to be broken. I can’t log in.

Broken bootloader.

Today, I was not allowed to log into Google via a school website due to using a non-Google approved browser (DuckDuckGo).
