Yay.

India gets to experience their own version of the “Great Firewall”

Isn’t the future just great? Every country gets their own “intranet” 🙃

I mean… you do know someone can just take a screenshot, right?

And even if you use the Android thing that blocks screenshots, they can still take a photo with another phone.

You need to trust the other person for there to be any “privacy”.

Problem is, piefed in run on a different code so you can’t just convert the lemmy database into piefed.

With a Lemmy fork, the transition would be seamless.

Inb4 netanyahu starts saying “Homegrown ‘Antisemites’ and start deporting them to El Salvador”

My brother runs away from the microwave whenever my parents turn it on… 🤣🤦‍♂️

Did I mention he’s vaccine skeptical?

“These pesky brown people should stop criticizing our glorious leader and savior Donald Trump, if they don’t like Trump, they shoud go back to their country”

Sound familiar? This is what you sound like.

Meh, maybe some non-tankie (and also non-right-wing) programmer can step up and we start working on a fork and we’ll donate? Maybe?

Anyone? 👀

I mean, you could just give your self a limit.

Add a “Iteration 1” to the first message, and the 2nd iteration of you should append the message with “Iteration 2” and so on…

If you still get warned of death in Iteration 500, then maybe then you can give up.

At least try to survive for a few timelines.

“Um… 😅”

whispers into phone

“The agents of the (Lemmy) organization have found me, I must prepare to make the ultimate sacrifice. El Psy Congroo”

The problem is that I can’t wait for the assassin to make a move in order to learn about them. It’d be a lot easier if I was trying to prevent someone else’s death, but I can’t send a message after my own death, can I?

Quickly program your phone to record a video and send a MMS to yourself if it detects you death.

You set up your phone at a vantage point pointed at you, and just go on live tv, make a scene, wait for the assassin to come. Then they come and kill you, and your phone captures their image, and sends it to your past self. Now you got a face to research.

What’s that? The assassin wore a mask? NOOOOO! 🙃➰️💀

What time travel rules?

Steins;Gate Rules, but without Reading Steiner

No, you get to send unlimited number of messages, but the furthest back is at the beginning of this 7 days. You could send it to day 2, day 3, or even exactly at 12:34 on day 4.

Maybe for a reason you have yet to experience in the future.

Perhaps a future leader?

Pehaps a future criminal?

Who knows 🤷‍♂️

NOOOO! My evil plans are foiled! 😭

“The Earthlings are trapping themselves on their planet!”

2025: AfD is banned

2026: New party is forned, Germans for an Alternative, or Deutsch für eine Alternative (DfA)

(You know what this means: The only good nazi is a dead one)

Americans xenophobia is just earlier immigrants discriminating against later immigrants. You see this quite common with first generation immigrants, especially those who already got citizenship.

“I crossed the bridge, now let’s burn it!”

Three Body Problem, part of a Trilogy of Books called Rememberance of Earth’s Past. Originally in Chinese, but translated to English, so the phrasing can seem a little “weird” since its the difference in language (according to reddit).

I haven’t read it yet (because I have attention span issues), but I watched a Netflix Adaptation 3 Body Problem which would eventually cover the entire book series, with the Season One already out.

There’s also a Tencent version of it called Three Body (三体) (in Mandarin) that coveres the entire first book, which I also watched and it feels slightly overdramatised so I kinda skipped a lot of it.

This is the exact scene from Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycs6JRx-pxk (minor Episode 1 spoilers)

Its an interesting world, and I’ll probably have to read it since the text is just too different from any adaptations, and they’re estimating season 2 and 3 of it being released in 2028 (I’m not gonna wait that long, I’m just gonna read it first).

(Its actually why I made this question. Both the Netflix and Tencent versions were awesome in their own ways)

So, Mr. Yen, are you still sympathetic to the republicans, who have a disdain for the same courts that gave you a win?

Or is your head burried so deep in your particle accelerator you don’t even have any clue about politics?

Dude thinks he knows everything because he has a PhD in Physics, literally out of touch with the politics that anyone doing 5 minutes of web searching can understand.
