In many countries it is legal to promise a tax rebate when you are in office. Many cons (oops, I mean conservatives) use this as voting bait for people with no critical thinking skills, and then turn around and give their corporate masters and billionaires huge tax cuts that make those same voters loose critical services that makw them pay out of pocket.
In other words, “Heres $200 to vote for me so i can make your life way more expensive on a yearly basis through medical care, less regulation, less infrastructure repair”.
This is the same grift, but more blatant and obviously something that would never get fulfilled, which is why the number is so big. Bigger numbers make critical thinking fail harder, especially when times are economically tough. It tends to get cons reelected even when they are not doing well in polls, speaking from the Canadian experience in this.


Matrix is the proper space for a privacy focused community. Discord as an application is privacy invasive and requires ID to be provided. This has nothing to do with a public community not being private. It’s the wrong technology choice for what they claim to be focused on and there is no getting around that.


My thought it was over blown until I saw them claiming that anyone on Mastodon is “not a user” and them saying that any real users are on their Discord and not complaining.
Uh, OK - Discord was semi-excusable up until 2025, but at this point anyone using it to communicate with their users is certainly not considering how bad that channel is for user privacy. Im a Graphene User, I will not use Discord, and I am not going to continue to use an OS thats supporting the rapid expansion of datacenters through the use of AI.


Using tech that billionaires push makes them richer and gives them control.
Tell me how does not using their crap give them control, exactly?


To drive this home, Trump tower is the 32nd highest building in New York

Or better, tax the fucking billionaires and get some better funding in the departments that actually help people and fund a proper free medicare program and save people more than $5000/year


Just what we needed, a little Minority Report salted into the dystopian salad of this fucking timeline.


You’ll fall behind in the race to the lowest IQ as they all turn their thinking over to AI and get lazier while you continue to exercise your brain.
Fuck 'em.


LibreOffice also has a nice webdav integration so you can tie a Nextcloud account in and automatically checkout and edit documents in a multi user environment. Poor mans Sharepoint.


Yeah the redirect to open in an app thats only on google play is a fun part of this too… Very suspect.


I lost a few IQ points reading this ad.
But they love charging for the kidney stone removal.


I’ve had to move a lot over the years. Lived in large and small cities in 4 provinces.
I can say with great certainty that this rental scenario (depicted in OP) is very common in any conservative managed or low income areas. Tends to not be common in nicer neighbourhoods.


Dear lord no.
For extra fun, there’s also dist-upgrade


Agreed, just updated my comment for clarification here. But I’ll add that I still own any game I’ve bought on Steam that was pulled from the store. They tend to be on the better side here.
That said, DRM free for the win.
Trump should stop breathing
