That’s whack. Spanish Onions refer to something completely different in most places.

Yes. It’s very easy. You just install the app, download the offline resources you want, and turn on LAN mode which allows you to access the media from any device on the LAN, or VPN’d into the LAN.

Absolutely. There is a nonzero overlap between FOSS/decentralized software nerds and white knights/nice guys.

Thankfully it’s not too much here, as Lemmy has done a good job at not tolerating intolerance, so the incel white knights leave, but some of the more innocent ones stick around.

GenZ is actually even more likely to get scammed than boomers. So no, not only have they not learned, they’ve actively gotten worse.

The study does acknowledge some correlationary aspects as opposed to direct reasons, such as increased online presence, but still… It’s real bad mama, it’s real real bad with these youths.

What about the billions ICE is spending on stockpiling weapons and vehicles, the increased military budget, rhe continued erosion of our rights, and the almost certainly rigged upcoming midterms suggests lawsuits and courts are going to be any impediment to the fascists eventually?

And no, I’m not saying we just roll over and give up. But I am being realistic with the way that most authoritarian regimes go, and how they consolidate all power. Trump campaigned on giving politice as much immunity as he could, and that includes the way that courts punish police oversight and brutality. He’s actually delivered quite well on the things that benefit him and his cronies. And since police serve as the Pinkerton class of capital, I think once he gets enough power, he will fulfill that promise.

Give DHS as much immunity as they need, CiA and FBI clearance and permissions up the wazoo, and anything else they need to stay in power.

You’re assuming that the police will actually sift through footage in a meaningful way instead of just trusting faulty, fascist trained ai algorithms. Like that one guy who got mistaken by an AI profiling systen at a casino for someone who was kicked out, and when handed his license to prove he was a different person, the cops LITERALLY just refused to believe the evidence of their eyes. They took him to jail because the almighty machine could never be wrong. The story is wild: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2026/03/11/ai-software-tells-cops-to-arrest-the-wrong-guy/.

I’m sorry that apparently this fascist threat isn’t enough for you to think it’s a big deal, but it is.

Exactly. No offense to the average liberal but this whole “but what will happen to all the compute and data centers when the AI bubble bursts” is so tiring.

Firstly, the fascist regime will absolutely bail out a few key companies. Secondly, all those centers will be used for mass surveillance, war games, predictive policing (and population control), and all the other shit in the fascist grabbag.

There is absolutely a level of speculation to this insane bubble. I’m not going to sit here and tell you to ignore the evidence of your eyes. Obviously there is an aspect of short sighted money chasing (pretty standard capitalist bs), and there is absolutely an aspect of corporate greed and the companies trying to outbuild, outcompute one another. But for the people at the top (Miller, Thiel, Elston, Musk maybe, and others), they absolutely have long term goals. They are definitely getting rich off the bubble and benefiting from the short term insanity, but there is more there.

These neofeudalist assholes want to see us in chains, under their ever watchful AI eyes.

Getting meta with the “shit post”

Believe it not, straight to jail.

Betrayal and abeandonment from your own

God. So incredibly sexy when it’s real attraction. Plus one of my strongest kinks is seeing people in pleasure. So, even greater that attraction when they also romantically enjoy giving each other pleasure.

Those of us paying attention have been waiting for this moment. It’s great living through end stage capitalism!

Retirement is a pipe dream anyway

That poor blanket hasn’t eaten in days. Pure neglect. You normies might not be able to tell, but I know what bedding abuse looks like.

420, I’m calling the Weed.

The saying is true for 95% of jobs. People don’t quit bad jobs, they quit bad bosses.

The best is to get a physical mouse jiggler

Right on point

I fit all of that on a 1TB HDD

Including a bunch of Ted Talk videos with good video and audio.

Download a program called Kiwix. From there you can install offline versions of Ted Talk, Stack Exchange, Wikis, tons of guides and forums, project Gutenberg, and SOO much more.

It can then be used as a server from any device (you literally just push a button) which allows you to access your media over your LAN.

The UI is pretty shit but it’s a great program.

Of course it doesn’t have everything. Like I also torrented the Anarchist Library (ironically not offered on their site as a single file, but I found it from a reputable source) and I’ve downloaded some other odd YouTube playlists here and there to keep (IT and homelab tutorials, music mixes, etc).
