I’d love to see a user-friendly, easily-implemented FOSS alternative to the entire Android system.

The options that exist now often can’t get past all the defenses that Android and phone manufacturers put into systems to secure their own data collection/revenue. I have an older Motorola phone that I literally can’t install another operating system on.

We desperately need a stable, user-friendly, and hardware-adaptive replacement for Android. I don’t want that shit on my phones any longer.

I hope so.

Yes. But, we are conscious beings and we can choose our spoonness.

Are you trying to accomplish something? Some work you need to do? Be like spoon. You have one purpose—to accomplish that objective.

Choose to be like spoon, and have a blessed day.

The Zionists are carrying out a genocide.

Just block this dude. He’s not worth listening to on anything, and he’s not worth arguing with.

Let’s try and keep old.lemmy.world a clean, hygienic place by blocking the garbage.

Fuck yes.

It’s a very specific group of people who suck like this, and they think they’re the heroes of the story.

These fucking Conservatives desperately need to have their fucking heads kicked in. They’re fucking apes; they don’t understand anything else.

Fuck no.

Fuck all these motherfuckers.

Fuck, looks like it’s time to start looking at more alternatives to Android phones.

Already got an old one rooted. We need a solid Linux alternative or potentially a European company to start development.

If any of y’all know of a good, usable platform, I’d love to know about it.

Since 2015, the DoL reported a 283% increase in child labor violations; and perhaps more shocking, 28 US states have introduced bills to weaken child labor laws, with 12 of those states enacting those laws since 2021

Project 2025 proposes eliminating protections against hazardous work for children. Specifically, Project 2025 calls on the U.S. Department of Labor to “amend its hazard-order regulations to permit teenage workers access to work in regulated jobs with proper training and parental consent.” In plain English, revising these “hazard-order regulations” means letting teens work in hazardous jobs.

It’s only going to be poor kids working these jobs. We’ve had protections for child labor for the past century, and these fuckers are trying to roll them back.

They are fucking evil.

Kettlebells! Kettlebells are a great tool to have for home workouts. You might want to start with a lighter one–even if you’ve worked out some, you can still wear yourself out with even a 35 lb. kettlebell.

How much actual power do you have in this regard?

Did you get to choose your job? Can you also choose not to have a job?

100%

We never truly have a choice where to work unless we also have the choice not to work.

This episode is beautiful: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Darmok_(episode)

It is about communication.

We can only hope that people will get themselves a chance to directly demonstrate their approval of Musk. Hopefully many of us will have a chance to see him in a place we can reach him and show our disapproval.

If not, hopefully at least one person can find Musk in one of his hidey holes, behind his security, without his tiny human meat shield (or with, who cares) and clearly, without complication, demonstrate their disapproval of Leon.

Digital piracy can get you at least one of those happy things.

lol

The consumer-side AI that a handful of multi-billion-dollar companies keep peddling to us is just a way for them to attempt to justify AI to us. Otherwise, it consumes MASSIVE amounts of our energy capacities and is primarily being used in ways that harm us.

And, of course, there’s nothing they direct at us that isn’t ultimately (and solely) for their benefit–our every use of their AI helps train their models, and eventually it will simply be groups of billionaires competing against one another to form the most powerful model that allows them to dominate us and their competitors.

As long as this technology remains determined by those whose entire existence is organized around domination, it will be a sum harm to all of us. We’d have to free it from their grips to make it meaningful in our daily lives.

The fact that the majority of us are essentially forced to participate in the capitalist market means that we will always be at the mercy of greasy, compliant, ass-sucking ‘bosses.’

We don’t have any freedom with work unless we have the freedom not to work.
