Trumps "tech bros" cannot keep the truth from the masses forever. The truth is slippery and always finds a way out, eventually. I hope that, in the near future, something is done about the power of subscribing and gross wealth accumulation for all of those "tech bros". That power should always reside with the people although it's currently in the hands of a bunch of adult middle-schoolers.

Some psychiatrists and psychologists have speculated that Donald Trump may be exhibiting signs of dementia. These concerns have been raised by experts who point to his public appearances and statements as evidence of cognitive decline. Factors such as his age (nearly 80) and a family history of dementia have also been mentioned as contributing to these concerns
Specifically, some have identified "four signs" of dementia that they believe Trump is showing. One of these signs mentioned is confabulation, which is described as "honest lying" or memory lapses, and is considered a potential indicator of dementia
However, it is worth noting that one report indicated Trump was assessed for cognitive function, which was found to be normal. Despite this, questions about his mental acuity persist among some observers
There’s that new video about trump having CHF, and a real diagnosis for CVI that went under the radar a few years back. They can certainly be related to each other. He’s definitely got real health problems.

What happens when a guy with dementia takes control of the most powerful army in the history of the world? There's plenty of people here on lemmy cheering military spending by the day with the argument that peace is war, let me ask it again: what happens when a guy with dementia takes control of the army and the most advanced weapons in existence?

We need a code word to get around censors like they did in China by calling Xi "Panda"

This brings up something that has been bothering me for awhile. It's really been bothering me that when I look up an opinion Gemini will tell me whether my opinion is right or wrong. I knew it would be ripe for abuse.
I had a distrust of google from the get-go back in 1998... no joke. I used yahoo for many years (and yes, I am aware that Yahoo and MSN are not much better in privacy terms) since it had a lot more than just searches. yahoo news was my main source of internet news for a long time in the very early 2000s.
Honestly don't understand this to the point I suspect you're lying or stretching the truth. Search engines were awful in the 90s for a lot of reasons that Google's technology solved.it took another 5-10 years for capitalism to catch up and make their relationship with the tech more symbiotic
