One man and his drone: ‘My hope is to shut down the coal industry’ (www.theguardian.com)

“I can’t give up,” he said. “They’ve already pretty much won. They can do whatever the hell they want, but I’m still alive. I’m still breathing, and so I’m going to cost them as much money as I humanly can while I’m still on this earth. Because I’m right and they’re wrong.”

NounsAndWords,

It hasn’t helped Walk’s popularity that he’s seen as transgressive in other ways – he’s an atheist in a deeply religious area and he despises Donald Trump, who won West Virginia by a thumping margin in the 2020 election, to the extent he turned up to a rally of the former president with a “Fuck Trump” sign, prompting a volley of threats.

I like this guy.

NounsAndWords,

So the hijab will keep ants out of my hair. Got it.

NounsAndWords,

and I have no horse in that race as I’m not an American

You are seriously underestimating our ability to fuck up the whole world.

NounsAndWords,

Is this much different that the piles of prewritten obituaries news outlets have for pretty much every person they would report dying?

NounsAndWords,

Yup, that’s the Trojan Horse part of the meme. Good movie opens the gates for dozens of crummy copycat movies trying to take advantage of early 90s toy nostalgia.

NounsAndWords,

I agree with you for just about every other human in existence. Not Mitch. Fuck that traitor.

NounsAndWords,

If it makes you feel any better, he would have done the exact same or worse to anyone else in his place.

NounsAndWords,

It seems (seemed) like a pretty good vr headset…just it’s owned by one of the worst companies and I have no interest paying them hundreds for that level of access to my personal information.

NounsAndWords,

I read stuff like this and initially think “no, people have a vague sense of who these politicians are” and then I remember 2008 when a girl told me John McCain was the protagonist from Die Hard and refused to believe otherwise.

NounsAndWords,

I think it’s a combination of lack of vocabulary, projecting a story online to their own similar thing and responding to that, and just people using a lot of hyperbole which can sometimes be misunderstood in text.

But yes, I agree, people on the internet are the fucking worst.

NounsAndWords,

Obviously the knee jerk reaction is “ah shit” buuuut what if it actually followed the teachings of Jesus instead of whatever the hell religious people on this country pretend he said?

NounsAndWords,

Do you see all the engagement this post is getting? It’s not just a marketing gimmick for Twitter…

CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )...

NounsAndWords,

refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )

Ah, so I’ll need a new extension that fakes my browser to say it’s chrome before I can use adblocker. I think this is a cat and mouse game with no end.

NounsAndWords,

It kinda makes sense. All the people who know better already use an ad blocker so they don’t know what it’s really like and all the people who don’t know to use an ad blocker don’t know any better and that’s just what the internet looks like.

NounsAndWords,

The analyst in question, whom the court did not name, failed to get pre-approval from the deputy director that is required for searches that use “sensitive query terms,” such as the names of public officials or candidates.

“Rules for thee, but not for me.” Except it’s literal law enforcement policy…

NounsAndWords,

Is there any advantage to an app over just using the site on mobile?

NounsAndWords,

Like they don’t ever seem to interview anyone or ask direct questions to understand what is happening, they just take a cursory glance at comment threads and pinned posts, and assume they understand what’s going on.

Being a staff writer with deadlines will do that to you.

NounsAndWords,

Tbf, you can be the author of something and also completely fail to correctly cite your own material.

NounsAndWords,

The really annoying thing about the “brainless market oriented CEO” type, is that they’re often right about the market part and make lots of money…by destroying their product. Then off to the next shiny piggy bank to break open.

NounsAndWords,

It turns out the real witchcraft was inside of us the whole time.

NounsAndWords,

I’m picturing a business meeting with a video of Matt from Sales on a high-stakes sales call playing in the background.

Everyone in the meeting will still be complaining that this could have all been done just as effectively in a reaction video.

NounsAndWords,

The man’s been through a lot. Let him have his hobbies.

NounsAndWords,

Is it possible this is all an elaborate scam to steal billions from his private investors like The Producers when the entire network collapses?
