11·19 days agoEast Germany or the Soviet Union collapse makes the better comparison. Similar mass delusions among the public that all the debt, wars and breakdown in society is normal or will get better on it’s own. Loss of the rule of law and truth more broadly. Like after the Soviet collapse, you have oligarchs coming in to take over parts of the system and privatize them. This effect creates the authoritarian system that lead to Putin and those around him. The U.S. has its Gorbachev. Even in Soviet society they had a concept called Vranyo, which translated to the fact that the population largely knew the Government was always lying and corrupt, and the Govt knew the population knew they were all lying and corrupt, and anyone who tried to Plato’s Cave it was always shut down across the board from both sides. The mass delusions lasted until the collapse. And even after for many.

News@lemmy.world•Texas sues TV makers for taking screenshots of what people watch
421·19 days agoHow long ago was it that someone would say there is secret recording technology capturing screenshots of what I watch on TV, sending it up to third parties, including the Govt, and selling it to others? You would be labelled as crazy. The boiling frog approach to build a surveillance prison around everyone while they just accept it is fascinating.

Parts of Santa’s narrative were adopted by colonists in New York, which blended St Nicholas and stories around Odin. Odin from Greek Mythology was known to fly around on a horse, knew who was good or bad, and at times had presents. In New York at some point, this all changed and a prior diety type figure in Odin became commercialized. The white horse became reindeer. Santa eventually adopted Coca-Cola’s colors and the commercialization and rebooting of Odin was complete. Thanks for reading.

2·1 month agoIt won’t be long before the keyboard itself is minimized for online communication. Models will be personalized for you in the sense that your text messages, emails, etc can all be generated. Then you just have to select the one you want to use. Kind of like auto-completion now taken to the next level with “AI”.

politics @lemmy.world•Colorado Attorney-General explains why the state is suing a deputy who aided ICE
12·6 months agoThe problem with his argument, just to play devils advocate for what the right wing would say, is that local law enforcement has a responsibility to assist federal law enforcement to enforce federal laws even if they do not exist at the state level. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes this very clear. With that being said, it is the role of the AG to resolve conflicts between state and federal law and from that perspective, they are also correct. At some point, it becomes a matter of what laws people choose to enforce, have the resources to enforce, or want to enforce or not for political reasons. This is kind of like the difference in federal classification of cannabis versus state classification of cannabis. If it is still illegal federally then in theory the feds can force the states to shut down cannabis shops and deport people. Just for clarity, the ancestors of the people being deported lived here long before the United States was created and have a right to be here and states have a right to determine the best path forward on cannabis. Just my personal opinion, but of course, even a state AG can have their opinion and there is always going to be a limit to their power. The Trump admin, Supreme Court, and Congress all on the other side of an issue makes it difficult to win. At the end of the day the truth is that there are not really any laws, the courts exist to determine things in favor of who has the most money, and money has bought everyone at all levels for a long time. It’s only what those in power choose to enforce, or how they choose to resolve contradictory state and federal laws, or how they are paid to decide how to resolve it, and so no laws really exist, it’s just up to whoever is in power at that point in time.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless"
7·6 months agoCertain addresses get flagged in bank and verification systems over time that are shared addresses among many people. Places where someone can get mail without a permanent legal address is one example. Shelters, general delivery at the post office, etc. So much of the concept of your identity is tied to your legal address. Courts can use this too and claim they can’t find someone then issue default judgements against them. Meanwhile, so many places are heavily monitored because they have turned into police states, it is not usually in question for the goverment who someone is and where they are located. The post office should provide long term PO boxes for unhoused people for free and these should be accepted as legal addresses. But often, you’ll find a PO Box isnt accepted.

Every time AI is injected into something new, it’s basically just an excuse to transmit more of your data and telemetry up to a cloud server so they can spy on you and sell the info to data brokers.
