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.

No Bambu keeps shutting down projects that bring any FOSS functionality to their ecosystem.

If this has to do with not wanting Bambu to monitor what you print, you could do is set up your own router (OPNsense, PFsense, OpenWRT) and put a VPN (tail scale, netbird) on it. Then you can set your printer to LAN in the router software, and with the VPN tunneling all your traffic through your network, your device will act as if it on the LAN. From there, you can send prints even out of the house without using their server side remote print functions.

Thanks for pointing this out.

It is worth noting that many of these farmers also have a material and financial interest in continuing fossil fuel dependency, as many of their corn crops go to biofuel in ethanol.

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.

I say I'm in school because some education looks better than just high school

You're arguing in good faith. Which, good, don't let them take that earnest attitude. But she is not.

She is getting paid to spread disinformation. Whatever actual misconceptions were there to begin, are probably now tied with deception and inseparable. Getting paid to lie makes it really easy to lie to yourself too.

See this is my issue with privacy ROMS is that they're not always built alongside pro-consumer, right to repair friendly hardware. They're often built for flagship phones, which has its advantages, but leaves the hardware experience locked down.

I really am so excited for functioning Linux phones. I LOVE GrapheneOS, but mobile Linux is being built around those ease of repair and tinkering phones more often .

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.

True. When it comes to wars it is, however the writers are SOOO adamant that they are a "exploration and science corp" when in peace time.
