Open post gavinisdie @gavinisdie@masto.ai · 10mo ago Replying to @SKleefeld@retro.pizza "America has blown 80 years of accumulated goodwill & trust among its allies, our American moderator was told… America’s recent actions have destroyed the ability of any ally to continue to have faith in America to act even within its own strategic self-interest, let alone that of any ally. The officer then said that even a swift return of America to its former role won’t matter. Because 'we will never fucking trust you again.' The Americans at the table seemed somewhat startled by the heat of that pronouncement." Anyone startled by that pronouncement is insanely optimistic or incredibly naive. The damage DJT did during his first term would take decades to fix; the damage he's done since is absolutely irreparable. And while you might think that's awful or unjust, they only need to 'never' trust us again for maybe five years. Because there won't be a United States of America beyond that. DJT is running the country like any business that's been bought & is being sold for parts. https://www.readtheline.ca/p/matt-gurney-we-will-never-fucking @SKleefeld@retro.pizza we deserve every but of pariah state status for atleast a generation, whether we somehow get out of dictatorship or not

Open post gavinisdie @gavinisdie@masto.ai · 37mo ago Replying to @burgerdrome@aus.social <p>I love my smart TV. I love the way it takes a long time to boot up because it's trying to refresh the advertisements on the home screen. I delight in the way it randomly restarts because it's downloaded an update without asking me, each of which makes the TV slower and slower with every subsequent install. I adore the way it buries the apps that I want to use, and that I use without fail every single time, below the apps that it's being paid to promote and which I have never touched in my life and would never use without the cold metal of a glock pressed hard against my sweating temple. I am infinitely thrilled by the way the interface lags constantly, due to the need to have one thousand unnecessary animations rendered on hardware ripped wholesale from a ten year old phone. I feel myself borne aloft on wings of pure joy when I am notified that my data will be collected and analysed to determine my useage patterns. Even now I am writing this from a field of beautiful flowers and soft luscious grass as I lie and look up happily at the bright blue sky, smiling happily to know that this is the future of technology</p> @burgerdrome@aus.social I'm glad I still have a "dumb" TV, leave all the "smart" stuff to streaming boxes and game consoles
