Blaming parents is an individualistic solution to a systemic problem

A system made up of individual people....

No one EVER wants to take personal responsibility. God forbid a parent actually parent and not just hand their child's mind over to the state.

Timmy - Can I have meta glasses / mindrape myself with brainrot?

Parent - No.

Problem solved over night.

Shifting all of the onus onto the "mysterious system" is exactly what causes these issues in the first place. Its a cop out 100%. "Well I know I didnt even try but but but the system."

Change happens when individuals nut up and take things into their own hands.

The parents are shitty parents and will continue to be so as long as people keep hand-waving any and all responsibility.

I'm not saying there's not a misogyny problem. Its the same old repeat divide and conquer playbook that I have issue with. You can see it all over the internet. We will never solve the root issue if we keep feeding this clickbait b.s. Purely designed to get people frothing at the mouth, its shitty "men bad" journalism.

Failed State.

Thread theme: https://soundcloud.com/pouya-kevin/1000rounds

[Chorus: Cop]

Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

[Verse 1: Cop]

Toss another shell on the ground, I don't need a reason, chief –

Just a twitch, a cough, a sneeze, and I'm squeezin'

Watch you drop like a busted pipe

I'm the jumpy type, soon as I hear a noise at night

I can't talk, just dump the mag

Into the dark – better safe than sorry, that's my flag

I'm a fiend for the trigger, ain't no safety

Count every round, reincarnate Dirty Harry

Fuck the de-escalation, I'm on high alert

I meditate on cover, you're so fake – you got hurt

I'll put two in your chest just for reaching for your face

The badge protects, clear the scene while I seal the case

[Chorus: Cop]

Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

[Verse 2: Cop]

So many civilians around me, yet I feel so alone

I'm a war vet walkin', sirens singin' my tone

You want that reckless fire? Go watch the bodycam to it

City's finest, you'll find us inside that cruiser, ready to do it

People right in front of my face –

But they really might lunge or reach for their back

I been on go for a minute –

Yeah, they really might move me off of my track

Yeah, I got a partner, but I still got a thousand rounds in my pack

Trigger-happy hero, a hundred clips flexin' –

But still jump at a crack

[Chorus: Cop] Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

Media IPs I loved repeatedly get wrecked by the companies that own them for the sake of easy profit.

They can't even get the BREAD or CIRCUSES correct. Like jfc. Truly mind boggling.

The biggest issue besides the llm is

a tool to download a user’s public posting history through the lemmy API

I think this needs to be very clearly explained to users in general. In the name of public education.

Your posting history is public, and can and will be used against you. At this point in time, anything posted on the internet is essentially permanent public history. It's in a database somewhere that can be leaked or scraped.

This is not a lemmy or dbzer0 problem.

Lets not act like this is an impossible task.

There is a process and actually multiple ways to accomplish this. Looking into, we might not even need to fork android, but just support existing alternatives.

I would think the first step is to fork the Android Open Source Project. use that as a base, start cutting out any links to google, fill in the gaps, etc. This is obviously not my realm of expertise but there is a path.

"170,000 tech workers lost their jobs in the U.S. in the 18 months prior to mid-2025"

Don't tell me we can't scrape together a team of experts and make this happen. Yes there will be barriers and push-back, but its either this or we just keep deepthroating google.

who controls the keys / where are the keys?

Users will know that a conversation is end-to-end encrypted when they see a new lock icon

Yes but there has been a cultural and technical shift on the internet. Your average AOL user was not out running witch hunts against people they ideologically oppose, you couldnt mass blast your shitter post to your 5m followers and change public opinion over night, You were not linked by your real name to your employer, your ssn address etc was not leaked 5x to sunday.

The landscape has changed "at this point".

The "anti-science nonsense" of today is the "we should of known" or "it was obvious" of tomorrow. At this point "trust le science" is just another tool in the hellscape dystopia we live in.

Is there a different, more free lemmy instance that doesn't censor wrongthink?

Its pretty wild but not unexpected to see one after another lemmy instance self-destruct in a race towards thoughtcrime.

The collective amnesia is unreal. Did we all just forget about prism? No US tech company can be trusted with your data at any level. By law they have to have backdoors or be shutdown, and can legally lie to you.

The biggest way you can help is to TAKE ACTION. Get the ball rolling. Regardless what you think the solution is. Take action to make it happen. Don't wait on "someone else" will do it. If you don't have the skills or know how. Reach out to someone who does, keep the ball rolling
