Not The Onion@lemmy.world•BMW Patents Proprietary Screws That Only Dealerships Can RemoveEnglish
12·2 months agoBMW, in lieu developing electric cars that can compete with chinese brands, has found a different way of binding its customers to the brand…
Yes, Avatar is critized for just retreading the Pocahontas storyline. But it’s a story after all, a bit of narratization is needed. As for the fact that they need the ‘big strong human to protect them’, yes, that is woven into the story too. Jake has both insider knowledge and intel. He not only knows what the human military contractor is going to do, he also knows the motivations behind their action, how far they are willing to go and what it will take to stop them. As such, his input is crucial to rally the tribes and get nature on his side. Only with the help of Grace’s memories is he able to rally Eywa to their side.
But the military doesn’t care. Jake is still in a wheelchair at the start of the movie. Only by accepting a highly dangerous mission, infiltration, is he given the promise of having his old legs restored. And he is only given this job, because his brother passed away and left the Na’vi clone behind. So they are not offering this to any crippled army veteran. And yes, there are some good apples in the military. They turn on the military.
How is it military propaganda? The plot is about a private military contractor destroying an ecosystem for profit, while there is nothing but good things being said about the way of life of the Na’vi.

Technology@lemmy.world•Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdogEnglish
7·2 months agoI know they aren’t left, that’s why I wrote “left of the tories”. They are centrist and how Starmer ever managed to become prime minister is beyond me. That guy as a suit through and through.

Technology@lemmy.world•Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdogEnglish
281·2 months agoI’m baffled that all this tracking nonsense is pushed through by a government that is supposed to be left of the tories. I guess that goes to show you that “center” parties can be just as evil as conservatives.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump renames U.S. Institute of Peace after himselfEnglish
6·3 months agoYou think that republicans will try to make it a taboo to talk about any conflict between entities Trump “brokered a peace with” as a war, as to keep up the myth of Trump actually ending those conflicts? And do you think Democrats will be so weak that they’ll just let the Republicans do that?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon has a new plan to make money: Hosting and support services for the open social webEnglish
751·5 months agoI think that sounds like a really good idea, if you want to get corporate- and government hosted instances on board. What keeps most of them away from free software is that they can’t write a contract with anyone with clear boundaries and guarantees. If Mastodon offers these types of contracts, it would help the adoption rate.
psst it’s "too tired".

Games@lemmy.world•[VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and MangaEnglish
43·7 months agoThe video makes mention of a change.org petition calling on Visa, Mastercard and the like to ignore that sect trying to create moral outrage. I know Change.org petitions are pretty worthless, but this one already has over 100k signatures: https://www.change.org/p/tell-mastercard-visa-activist-groups-stop-controlling-what-we-can-watch-read-or-play/


If anything, getting the logs from that server would be interesting, to see if Lemmy’s long-term stability can be improved.
