Every country has immigration enforcement.

I think the same theory works for everything- including generic replies to comments on Lemmy.

You don’t use search? Like you don’t use duckduckgo or anything?

You are proving my point. One was bad, the other was evil and you can’t see the difference.

. So he’s far from a good guy.

That was my point. One is bad, the other is pure evil. Lemmy: " I see no difference."

The only two who tried to shoot Trump were right wing. I have seen any leftists/socialists try and stop Trump either.

That’s kind of the idea I was thinking of. Lemmy users would focus on the bad of Hindenburg and declare him identical to Hitler. Hindenburg wasn’t a saint but it’s wrong to say there’s no difference between Hindenburg and Hitler.

Funding ICE and even reducing the budget while following normal legal procedures is a gigantic difference between Trump increasing ICE 3X and performing illegal deportations.

It’s not an ad hominem, it’s a comparison.

This post is on .world so I’d expect the majority of upvotes are .world too.

Average Lemmy user, “There is no difference between the politician on the left and the politician on the right.”

“A traditional Google search is still best for the simple act of looking for things to do nearby, but AI Mode could prove to be a nifty tool for more tedious tasks like product research for online shopping — an instant chart comparing baby car seats is helpful, even if imperfect. Just always check the answers.”

Exactly my experience. I don’t understand people who go to chatgpt first.

enshitify before the IPO

I always see it after. Because then the suits take over and it becomes a mandate to increase profits quarterly for the share holders. IPOs want to show happy users to sell the idea of future revenue from milking those users.

Yeah. It can be set on or off as default when CC is activated.

You absolutely can judge your own behavior when you are impaired

By the time you realized it you were already impaired. That’s why professional drivers have a schedule. It’s not up to them to decide for themselves that they could go longer.

I have a Toyota with lane assist and it doesn’t. The “lane assist” is part of cruise control. It’s off by default.

I love it because it removes a little of the mental load giving me more time to scan the road for potential problems.

Off by default should be the default.

That’s easier said than done. You can’t judge your own behavior when impaired because you are impaired. By the time you are aware you are that tired, you’ve already been impaired for a long time.

. Sure, the technology would be there and people would run amateur ip networks, or secretly piggyback of official uses, but it would be more like the dark net / tor than what actually happened.

The early Internet was exactly like Tor and darknet. Before DNS servers were ubiquitous, I’d go to an ftp site every morning that kept hosts lists and downloaded a hosts file to give me names matched to ip addresses. If darknet was the norm, a darknet DNS would be created and it would be the “Internet” but on different protocols.

The only scenario I can imagine is something like North Korea where people are so poor that they don’t have access to computers/phones which allows the government to restrict Internet to official cafes.

While it could be interesting, I don’t think it’s realistic. Before everyone had Internet, there was Fidonet. Trolls were on BBS FidoNet.

Before FidoNet there were Ham radio operators relaying across the world. There were Trolls on Ham when Ham was used by many during the 1970’s CB craze.

There is something inherently cool about communicating with people across the globe. So a few technical people make it happy and the masses use it.

So any communication medium evolves into an Internet even if the underlying technology is different.

The best you could realistically do is assume something causes an bandwidth limit of say 9600 bps. There would still be an Internet with all the problems but it would be text based.

The entire MacOS including finder and the tools was 216KB on the 400KB floppy.

The original Macintosh had 128k of ram.
