Flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Emma Goldman was ahead of her time.English
111·10 days agoNot at all ahead of her time. Ignorance has been the bane of human existence for ever more. Of course it depends on who you ask. For many the ignorance of the masses is a feature, not a bug.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Netflix sued by Texas for allegedly spying on children, addicting usersEnglish
6·13 days agoInteresting that just after it’s battle with Paramount for the WB acquisition they are now being sued by Republicans.

Australia@aussie.zone•Is this the moment to change the way we think about economic growth?English
5·16 days agoThat moment was decades ago. Too late now you dipshits. Mind you, there will be a change to economic methods and measures, but it won’t be by choice.

HistoryPhotos@piefed.social•5-year old child worker in the shrimp industry, Biloxi, Mississippi, USA, ~1910English
3·1 month agoNot specifically. They’re willing to put up with a lot of shit to get just the one or even two issues they care about addressed. Funnily one of them apparently being to “own the libs”, lol. My point is this, look at the way they talk about liberals. When we liberals(?) hear them we think, “What a bunch of idiots, look how wrong they are about our stances on issues”. I consider the way they look at us as being that same contempt. Just a thought.

3·1 month agoI don’t say they’re blameless, only that when attacking a specific issue it’s not helpful to take such a broad swipe. You have to remember we’re dealing with humans here, a very difficult “they” to lay down.

39·1 month agoNot arguing with the take but I wonder if we need more detail instead of blaming “conservatives”. Maybe we could start saying “Some conservatives” more. If we keep exaggerating the divide there is only one place it will lead.

Ontario@lemmy.ca•Tina Yazdani Fired from CityNews after reporting 4 billion dollars missing from provincial investment fund.ontEnglish
16·1 month agoIs it actually missing or was it just transferred from Covid relief to the project fund? Now the administration of the project fund has had it’s own issues that need better control.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Saab dangles sovereign data centre in Montreal to undercut F-35 fighter contractEnglish
1·1 month agoTo stray from the comments so far may I say that I object to one more project being handed to Quebec while they continue to talk separation. For the last few decades they’ve been getting all kinds of perks to help convince them to stay. That has to come to an abrupt end.

Buy European@feddit.uk•Time for Europe to Use the Nuclear Option: Attack US Patent and Copyright MonopoliesEnglish
1·2 months agoYears ago they gave Apple a patent for using your face to open your phone, neither of which are technologies with any link to Apple. That’s all you need to know.

I asked a manufacturer how long it would take them to design and build one of my favorite cars and they said 6 months. I was surprised and asked, “Dat soon”. (Old Datsun joke)
