Mainstream US Media : Nothing Happened on April 5th - it was a boring day.
Reality: "Yesterday, more than 1,200 demonstrations were held across the country, described by organizers as a “National Day of Action,” against the policies and actions of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk."

Det har alltså brukat vara så att folk använt en sökmotor som ger dem en lista med länkar och sen har folk besökt de bloggar osv. som länkarna leder till.
I den framtid som dnu verkar vara på gång, blir det istället så att folk bara läser var "chatt-boten" säger direkt, folk vet inte varifrån informationen egentligen kommer, och de bryr sig inte heller.
Ingen läser längre någon blogg, blir meningslöst att ha en blogg eller att skapa något ö.h.t. 2/2
@hehemrin @KarlPettersson @LeoR1010 @mans om man struntar i just Google och bara tänker på fenomenet sökmotor jämfört med fenomenet "chattbot" så är det verkligen en dålig utveckling som jag ser det.
Jag tänker såhär: man kan tänk sig internet som att det består av en massa enskilda små bloggar. Om du har en blogg kan det vara bra för dig att det finns en sökmotor som folk kan använda för sökmotorn kan hjälpa folk att hitta till din blogg. Bra för dig!

"Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Seeking a Third Term in Defiance of Constitution"
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/us/politics/trump-third-term.html
"President Trump, in an interview with NBC News, said there were “methods” that would allow a third term. The 22nd Amendment prohibits a person from being elected to more than two terms as president."
I guess the USA is now close to being a dictatorship. Or is there still some doubt about that? Any signs that US democracy could survive?

"violent far-right groups in Sweden recruit boys as young as 10"
"Driving through western Sweden, [...], Lars Stiernelöf says he has noticed a worrying new trend among young boys. Since the inauguration of Donald Trump in January, after which the US president’s top adviser and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, gave two fascist-style salutes, there has been a rise in children using the Nazi salute in schools in Värmland."

Got this one for a couple of bucks.
It is in a very non-working condition, basically nothing electrical is working.
The only thing left is a Cathode-ray tube and some speakers - the rest was thrown out long time ago.
So, I need some tips from #fediverse
What display-panel should I put in this one?
I am thinking, of reusing a raspberry pi and make it some sort of "media station" if possible. But first do I need to make the display functional.

Plenty of devices have indeed been forced upon us since then! With no end in sight. 🙂

@samuel jag är lite orolig att det kanske hänger ihop så här: den svenska regeringen är, även om SD inte formellt ingår i regeringen, i praktiken i mångt och mycket styrd av SD. Regeringen gör nästan alltid som SD vill. I detta fall handlar det om en journalist, och SD gillar inte journalister. Än värre blir det av att det gäller en ETC-journalist. SD vill troligen inte att regeringen gör särskilt mycket för att hjälpa Medin, och regeringen lyder SD. 😕
@MCDuncanLab nice! It sounds in some ways similar to wildlife around where I live (near Stockholm), we have herons and beavers for example, but turtles don't exist here I think. Or if they do then I've never seen them. (I really hope I didn't run anyone over with my bike 🙂 )
