That’s not what Palliative Care is, or at least it’s not the only thing that it is. My Dad had palliative care when he got to the final stages of dementia, and it was the best thing we could have done. I will always recommend the form of care he got to anyone dealing with this particular issue.

on Protestors Ransack AI Lab, Leave Graffiti Calling on Masses to "Burn the Data Centers" in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20h ago
I love this, thanks. I’m particularly interested in Jury Nullification. I was hoping that would work for Luigi, who deserves it, the same way it worked for OJ, who didn’t.
Over the next two years, MAGA is going to try to throw thousands of innocent people into prison for decades as terrorists, and we need to completely shut it down at the jury level, if it comes to that.

We don’t want them, and we elected officials to block them. If our elected officials ignore us, and accept the bribes to build them despite what we want, then we are perfectly within our rights as citizens to burn them to the ground.
We don’t want them, and they’d better listen to us. They won’t get burned down everywhere, but there is a non-zero number that absolutely will get burned down. If enough of them burn down, they won’t want to take a chance on investing in them.

These corporations have to know that they NEVER have things locked down, they can always lose business. Pulling the plug on a major contract with a major company, will send a harsh message to the rest, and go a long ways to keeping them in line.
And it will make Peter Thiel cry, which is nice.

Wow, brilliant. I’ll bet all the doctors in Europe never even considered that, in their rush to execute a 2 year old. If only they had consulted your genius. /S

on Zuckerberg's Pervert Glasses Have Been So Publicly Shamed That Meta's Reportedly Now Working on a Version With No Camera in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
It’s not even the glasses alone, it’s that it’s one more major part of the ENTIRE surveillance state that is growing around us. It is being sold to us as this great new future, but we are all very aware of what they really intend to do with it, which is enslave us in every way possible.
They are denying it, of course, claiming that this will make our futures easier, and more fun, but we KNOW these people, and they are not interested in making our lives easier or more enjoyable. Just the opposite, in fact. They want us working every second of our miserable lives to increase their personal profits. To them, that’s ALL we are good for.
To us, they have ALL the money and power. Let’s take that from them before they use it to kill everyone who resists them, because we all KNOW that’s what’s coming.

on Trump says AI safety fears a 'hoax' as he rejects calls for greater safeguards in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Sep 2026
He had nothing to do with that. In fact, every intelligence source in the world was taken by surprise when the Soviet Union not only fell, but also that it happened so quickly, and with fairly little bloodshed. NOBODY saw it coming.
It happened on his watch, but not because of him, but Conservatives like to take credit anyway.

Historians generally like to wait about a decade after a president leaves office before they start evaluating his presidency. Some policies take time to bloom, and there might be policies that later make that administration look better, or worse.
In Trump’s case, he was such a terrible president, that historians pretty much installed him in last place immediately after his first term. Obviously, his second term has only confirmed what historians concluded already.
It’s not just because his policies have been so terrible, although that alone would bury him, it’s also the fact that he’s a proven Traitor in multiple ways (the Jan 6 coup, the false electors plot, stolen documents, foreign collusion, bribery from hostile nations, etc).
He is such a terrible president, that even Biden’s ranking has suffered, because he allowed MAGA to rise again, and allowed Trump to regain power.
He is EASILY the worst president in history, and that is before the fact that he is likely to end up in prison or even executed, has been factored in.

When this is over, we have to pass a law making it illegal to name anything after Donald Trump, with one exception: Sewage Treatment Plants. Then people who live nearby can say things like “Wow, Trump smells particularly bad today.”
But seriously, we have to make sure nothing can ever be named after him.

on Don’t Let Anyone Take Away Your Big Box of Cables - Jim Nielsen’s Blog in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Sep 2026
Now that I have evolved into an old guy, who has developed a habit of buying old used music gear, I can assure you that your years of hoarding, and defending, your box of cables will not be in vain. I have been digging into my box of old AC adapters, and finding success about half the time. It’s like finding gold!
My stock of old adaptors is running low, but I’m good at scavenging them when stuff is getting tossed out. I always make sure to coil up the cord, and secure it with a twist tie. When I undo a cable, I always keep the twist tie on the cable.

Not all states collect political affiliations, but in any case, you don’t have to register a party. I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. I can’t vote in primaries, but neither party can count on my vote, and they have to earn it every election.

Canada should announce that they’ve changed the names of all the Great Lakes to Canadian names, like Lake Toronto, and Lake Ottawa. Make sure there’s a Lake Saskatchewan, because there is no way Trump can read or pronounce it, so that will really piss him off. Maybe he’ll painfully stroke out and croak, and we can all read about it the Big Beautiful Obituary.

on With the backlash to data centers, Flock and AI glasses, a mass opposition to big tech is underway. Silicon Valley is in denial. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
He’s not the only one, there are a bunch of companies that want to launch fleets of satellites. I read a recent article that said in the very near future, only about one out of every 15 visible “stars” will be natural.
Since the beginning of time, every living creature, including every evolutionary stage of mankind, have looked at the sky in wonder, awe, navigation, science, calendars, romance, beauty, religion, etc. Gazing into the cosmos has been a core human experience for trillions of people since the beginning of humankind, and now these Sociopathic Oligarchs want to STEAL that from every future human, just so they can have a little more money.

This is the argument I’ve always had about nuclear energy. Sure it works great in other countries, but in America the plants will be built by corporations whose ONLY priority is profit, and they will cut corner after corner, and legally bribe government regulators to do nothing about it, until it fails. It is inevitable, and we ALL know it, which is why nobody really advocates too hard for nuclear power in America. We all know how fucked up it would be.

For the most part, there’s nothing to boycott yet. Showing up to council meetings by the dozens, imploring them to say No to the data centers they’ve already been bribed to accept, is the same action, done preemptively. Boycotts come later, when the data centers are actually open.
I’m aware that some are already operational, but they are a fraction of what these predators want to build.
Right now, the move is to let them know that we don’t want this, and there will be consequences for supporting data centers. Then vote them out in the next election, and make it very vocal why.
And in small towns and counties, where the council members also operate businesses, those businesses need to be boycotted. You don’t get to inflict existential damage on this town and it’s citizens, without feeling retribution for it. I hope your bribe was fat enough to sustain you after your business crashes, because that’s the choice you made.

Testifying in front of Congress doesn’t mean anything. That’s just a dog & pony show meant to placate the rubes. NOTHING ever happens as a result.
Look at Tickemaster/ Live Nation. They e had to explain themselves a number of times to Congress over the last 30 years, and they’ve only gotten bigger and more predatory. It finally took all those politicians trying to get Taylor Swift tickets for their screeching daughters that made them angry enough to finally do something about it. They are finally having a trial about it, but it’s still unclear if they’ll feel any consequences or make any changes.

There seem to be only three things that data centers are going to be used for: Crypto Mining, Mass Surveillance, and Data Collection, none of which helps the average citizen, most of it hurts us badly, yet we have to pay for it all.

on Americans are cheering for vigilantes who take down Flock cameras | The surveillance cameras have become another flashpoint of growing bipartisan anger against tech industry excess. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 27 Aug 2026
A local guy just got caught taking down a decoy camera that the cops set up to get whoever had been cutting down cameras in the area.
So they caught him, but the mayor seemed irritated about the decoy operation, which she wasn’t aware of. She wondered who paid for the camera, but it turned out to be a 3D print that one of the cops did at home. Aloarently city council were already debating removing the cameras, and the mayor seems to be on the negative side.
Anyway, whenever the story comes on the news, I vocally declare my support for the guy, to anyone who happens to be in the room.

We need to talk a LOT about Jury Nullification in this country. They are trying to weaponize the courts, and ultimately it doesn’t come down to the system, or the judges, it comes down the Citizens simply saying NO.
Trials put the power into the hands of the Citizens, and we should exploit that power against our Opressors. WE will decide who gets punished in this country.
Because we know precisely how psychopathic our political and business leaders are, and they are already openly hostile to the Citizens.
Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has said that he wants to reduce the population to $100 million, about a 70% reduction. They are already looking for ways to eliminate people, they aren’t going to block any vehicle that helps achieve that objective.
Other countries are positive that their nations will use AI to deliberately murder much of their population. We are positive that they will.
