Ok hear me out: instead of all of us having to become extremely knowledgeable on a new infectious disease every 3-6 months, what if we got a large group of experts together and just put them in charge of giving us easy to understand health recommendations. They could also do things like track outbreaks and predict future concerns.

We can live without data centres and billionaires but we can’t live without water

[Radix @NombreFalso1231]

Recordatorio de que el agua no es necesaria para enfriar los centros de datos, si la usan es simplemente porque es el método más barato aunque tenga enormes consecuencias ambientales.

Podrían instalar refrigeración líquida cerrada pero los capitalistas nos quieren ver muertos.

[Frank.Riot 🍉 @RiotFrank]

People will see this and then look you dead in the eye and tell you "the benefits" of building more data centres.

[bONGO 🌹 @wariocolosseum]

everyone responsible for this needs to be dealt with immediately

[Caroline Renard @carolinerenard_]

Nah, I hate that shit with my whole soul and think it’s destroying our planet.

[bONGO 🌹 @wariocolosseum]

i think more ppl should be upset that politicians so clearly intend to establish a surveillance state with the use of ai

[Rep. Keith Self @RepKeithSelf]

DEFLOCK AMERICA.

END THE SURVEILLANCE STATE.

[Zednigga @Zedlovafly]

America is turning into what they’ve criticized china for

[Gris 🇩🇰 @Graesplaene_]

Democracy is when a mass surveillance law gets rejected multiple times so you force it through with an emergency vote right before summer recess

[Cinna @blazyjai]

Reminder that shit like this is happening because Trump’s budget cuts to agencies like the FDA. Our food is less regulated now because of his choices as a leader.

[rae 🏒 szn @raeziIla]

sue his ass

sue the company

destroy them

[Watchdog (Dances on the Graves of His Enemies) @ComradeWatchdog]

No.

Fucking.

No.

This is unnacceptable. We do not have to cave to these fucking greedy psychos who wanna use up all of our electricity and water just to spy on us and replace us and feed us fucking slop.

Fuck these people. Fuck data centers. Fuck AI. FUCK THIS WHOLE SYSTEM!

BPD is fun bc I was chronically abused to the point of going literally crazy & now I’m the bad guy

[Hans senfuma @senfumahans]

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

The internet might be over.

I am not talking about the corporate, ad-filled internet. I mean the real one. The one you use to talk with your friends, find niche communities, and freely share ideas. The way you access and interact with the digital world is about to change forever if we don't speak up right now.

The U.S. House of Representatives just passed the KIDS Act. Do not let the well-intentioned name fool you. This massive legislative package is a wolf in sheep’s clothing that could potentially cause an unfathomable amount of damage to the privacy, security, and free speech of every single citizen in the United States.

Major civil liberties and digital rights organizations, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) are sounding the alarm. This bill is a massive over-reach of legislation designed to curtail your freedoms, everyones.

Under this bill, websites and apps will be pressured to verify the age of all users to avoid massive legal liability. This creates a de facto age-verification mandate, meaning you could soon be forced to upload government IDs, passports, or hand over biometric facial scans just to use standard apps or browse everyday websites. Forcing every corner of the web to collect and store these massive databases of citizen identity documents is an absolute cybersecurity nightmare waiting to happen, creating a golden target for hackers and data leaks.

The bill also takes direct aim at standard privacy features like disappearing or ephemeral messaging, treating basic digital privacy tools like dangerous design tricks rather than the digital equivalent of a private, real-world conversation. By weaponizing broad, vague definitions of "harmful content," the package pressures tech platforms to heavily over-censor completely lawful speech out of fear of massive government lawsuits. It risks sanitizing the internet and shutting down vital spaces for free expression and open communication.

This won't stop at signing up for websites, or chat apps. It will extend to artwork websites, multimedia hubs like Newgrounds, Music sites, even Reddit and 4chan will be subjected to this, and while you might think it's well deserved, you won't be saying that when they start asking users to verify their age on Mangadex or doujinshi sites, or on Itch io. Going to websites outside the US would be scrutinized if it doesn't follow the same criteria.

VPNs? Forget it, they'll try to outlaw those, too.

We all want children to be safe, but turning the entire internet into an Orwellian surveillance state where you have to show papers just to log on is a terrifying overreach. The bill has passed the House, which means the battleground is officially moving to the Senate. We cannot afford to sit this one out. This is a slippery slope and we must not give them this power over all of us.

[Smokey 🇨🇷 @SmokeTheShow]

When I was growing up you were largely seen as a rude freak for running up and filming a stranger - now I see videos of people asking not to be filmed and the comments are like “WHATEVER KAREN YOURE IN PUBLIC” and I guess I’d just like to congratulate the mass surveillance psyop

[not today satan @tanylake]

I have/had BPD. I definitely did fear abandonment but it’s deeper than anyone can fully realize. At the core is the lack of Self, which is so abstract it’s almost useless, until you find (or build) the self. Then it’s all visible.

The fear of abandonment is fear of annihilation because you are identified with the other. Losing the other feels like losing your self, it feels like dying. Like you cannot possibly survive without them.

The way to heal is to build internal scaffolding for the self, which people do unconsciously when they develop normally. But with BPD, you have to do it consciously. It’s hard work but it can be done.

[Praise @tufpraise]

All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough
