Unfortunately they postponed it 11 days because Meta, of course, also announced an unrelated program named "Loops", and now the FOSS project manager doesn't want to release something that would seem like an afterthought in comparison. 11 days is apparently enough time to do last-minute ultra-polishing to get it ready to tell Threads to go f itself. We'll see what happens.

The argument is that all you're doing is moving the carbon emissions from the car directly in your vicinity to the coal-fired power plant a long distance away. Move that same coal-fired power plant into the sealed room, and suddenly it's no longer far away, and the "unclean" nature of the electric car, so the thought process goes, becomes obvious.

Then put them all in the prisons and enslave them, as is legally allowed per the Constitution. They'll work with sufficient coercion. Have the CIA seize their overseas assets and repatriate it all, or if it's in a hostile country, have the CIA exfiltrate or destroy as necessary. Humans will work when enough physical and psychological pain is applied to coerce them. That, too, is human nature. If they attempt to flee, have the CIA find them, put them in unmarked vehicles, and extradite them back to US soil to be put back to work.

What do you think for-profit prisons and state penitentiary are for? Look up the exemptions from the slavery amendment.

Sure am. I enlisted in the US Navy SSBN force. I voluntarily joined a service dedicated to bringing about the thermonuclear annihilation of the human species and the biosphere if ordered to do so, and I'm indoctrinated to have zero hesitation to flip the toggle switch according to procedure as long as prerequisites are met. I chose my own little path of evil because I saw no way for the world to improve itself, so why not do the world a favor and end it all? I have no right to call myself a "good guy", but that doesn't mean I can't also recognize that the rest of the world is just as full of shit, both past and present. Again, if I'm wrong? Tell me. Show me where there's hope in this forsaken world, because I can't seem to find it.

Connect for Lemmy has an option for blocking both. The comment still shows, but as "blocked by filter", which hides the content until clicked on, and can be re-hid.

Where do you think they'll flock to, so I can avoid it? Instagram? YouTube Shorts?

I've seen the same ads on Xitter whenever I bother glancing at that cesspool.

Based and comedy pilled.

As long as we don't let ourselves get complacent again this time. I'm not sure what I'd do if even the Fediverse eventually goes the same way.
