Yeah one person can do only limited (at least constructive) change. And that likely takes time, but also consider generational shift. I think it’s very likely the dems will slowly (depending on AOCs popularity, faster) shift more progressive. Let’s hope the democratic system isn’t entirely degraded till then, and Trump get’s less popular as well.

So just bury the head in the sand and let the world (or at least US) collapse (i.e. uncontrolled climate change, entire degradation of the social system to capitalism)?

As audiophile as I am (own very expensive (> 1k) headphones for instance) and additionally I’m musician/producer.

I don’t think you can hear the difference between 320kbit bitrate vs flac in a blindtest (this is important, to avoid biasing yourself). I could notice what was a 128kbit mp3 and flac in a blindtest and already that was minimal (and is likely mostly related to the 16k cut-off of 128kbit mp3), but 320kbit, nope…

If you notice a difference it likely has to do with different mastering/LUFS etc. not the compression artifacts themself.

Or millenia, if at all…

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

I’m really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I’m thinking about shorting the stock, it’s so vastly overvalued, and there’s strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)

So I guess it means now, that if you’re still undiagnosed in the US (and suspect to be autistic), better don’t let yourself diagnose… Sad times…

I mean yeah for non-white people maybe. But teenage German girls, that’s a novum

Dark MAGA in the process…

The future looks dark for Murica

good god if this place isn’t unfunny as hell

I think c/lemmyshitpost quite funny, at least the posts itself, not sure about the comment-section…

leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics

Fair enough I think it’s also way to overloaded with the depressing evolution of american politics…

it will work for 99,9% without any flaw

Unfortunately not anymore.

And it doesn’t help, that Mozilla is also slowly turning towards enshittification… (since they fired all servo devs…)

Right, but you can also create accounts on different instances, so not really protected. Actually I think it’s very difficult to really filter bots when they’re done right, especially in times where LLMs start to be increasingly more popular.

Yeah though I think it’s a little bit too political at times. I get it, Trump and Musk is destroying the USA from within, but I don’t need to read about it in every second post…

My fear is that, if lemmy gets too successful, that regarding bots the same fate may occur.

Yeah I’m actually slightly annoyed that while the first presidency we haven’t cooled that much and prepared ourselves to be less dependent on the US.

But I think now it’s pretty clear, "Trump"s USA is not something we (as europeans) can rely on anymore. Repeating the error twice should be more than enough to come to that conclusion, it was blatantly obvious that something like this could happen (seemingly not for a lot of americans, it’s almost comical to see something like “LeopardsAteMyFace”). Though I’m still a little bit surprised at what speed Trumps administration is able to disassemble the US…

Well, I think forbes is maintaining a well known list, here’s his entry, which should give you some info about the source of his wealth: https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk/?list=rtb%2F

As usual with billionaires (and actually most people with a significant wealth)

Oh in practice it works quite well for me, basically all my friends and family use Signal now. You can slightly push them towards that, explain the obvious pros, it’s simple to install, so it’s just a small matter of convincing. I only rarely use WhatsApp for some external groups.

Great I wanted to suggest kicking the US out, if they want to do it themselves, less potential for (violent) conflicts.

He can try to “blow apart” G7, but since every other member state is very likely not in the best mood towards the USA, it will likely just result in the US being gone, i.e. G6 has been “born”.

Yeah destruction is done quickly, reputation and generally constructive policies (especially internationally) takes time.

What the US/Trump-Administration is doing, is just dumb (even for themselves). Europe almost has to slowly(?) cut ties with them, with what they’re currently doing. And I do think “cutting ties with the US” increasingly gets more popular for a reason… Let’s just hope that the same fate won’t come over europe and that the current success of right-wing parties in europe is temporary…

Even if you don’t take profit off the list, it could well be that he had more financial success in these other companies because he uses twitter as promotion and propaganda platform…
