That dishwasher runs perfectly fine without connecting to an app. Been using it that way for half a year.

People are so obsessed for nonsense features. Just set normal mode, auto air, start. Done. You know when it finished because the red light shining on the floor turns off, it beeps at you, and auto air opens the door so it can dry faster.

Guess what? You just had a machine wash dishes for you and you didn't even hear it running the whole time.

Check the trash filter occasionally, which is a physical part you can pull out from the bottom and wash in the sink. Clean the gaskets occasionally to keep a clean seal like any dishwasher.

I will probably open it up at some point and see if I can damage/remove the radio so it can't ever connect to anything.

It's a dishwasher, it doesn't have to massage your plates' backs. Nothingburger rant.

This is exactly what Mango Mussolini and his ilk want. They will then declare martial law across the entire country and accelerate Fascism. The USA is slightly smaller than all of the EU in square miles or kilometers. The entire EU. Not just some tiny nation like Germany that is smaller than some US states. Couple that with how the US economy is rigged so people lose their health insurance, medications, and die if they aren't working, it makes it extremely difficult for people to up and stop working to travel 3000 miles to destroy buildings.

Much better to rally every American citizen to just collectively get on the same page and play a long-game. This will take some time as MAGA comes to realize how wrong they were on their gambit to hire a felon with no business acumen, and they need to be welcomed back into the fold. They've been fed a stream of information poison for decades, so it isn't surprising how they were led astray, really.

Getting 300+million people scattered across the vast lands all on the same page makes it much simpler. Once a critical mass is hit, just stop doing anything. Employers can't hire scabs if nobody is working. The entire US economy crashes to a halt. Those billionaire losers can whine and complain on deaf ears as their profits evaporate. Once they realize the President really never had any power, and shouldn't, those pearl-clutching oligarchs that care about their profits will start understanding who they should have been respecting and listening to this whole time.

Many are already stocking up on supplies, medications, food, due to supply chain disruptions to come from "tariffs," arbitrary bans on classes of people, and other wacko illegal crap being pulled. The country will be organically ready to stop playing their games in under a few months.

America has literally no rulebook for this scenario. Big change will have to happen to fix it unless the US states grow a collective spine. Arbitrary violence likely will not effectively accomplish that goal.

As for the "Don't Tread On Me" larpers, they're just loud larpers - they are a tiny subset of the US population. Maybe they'll grow a spine, maybe not, either way they'll be welcome if they want to wake up and actually defend that 2A they purportedly respect.

Your assumption is incorrect in that this is already happening. You need to think bigger.

Let them die, they are getting everything they wished for. Would have been so nice if they’d only had the brains to recognize what they were wishing for but alas, here we are.

Here's the problem with that, the anti-vax adults were likely vaccinated as children, so they'll live, while their children die, never connecting the dots as to why they survived.

Media/social media are owned and controlled by the oligarchs in the US. Getting a message through that firewall in today's America is exceedingly challenging, albeit not impossible. They all pander to their special interests rather than report news. The more fringe ones like The Intercept tend to be a bit too fringe, which damages credibility on a wide scale.

It would have to be a new movement with a new media broadcast platform, hosted somewhere secure and hardened. Probably not in the US, with routing contingency to get around the US government attempting to block them. Not new tech, just something that isn't owned by oligarchs or have a tainted reputation.

Would have to be organic/word of mouth at first. Really hard to get traction that way these days. Again, not impossible. Just challenging.

Colorado has a 5.9 million person population spread across 104,185 square miles (269,837km^2) of mountains and plains.

Probably around 3GB. I have some cheaper Motorolas with that, usable, but a lot of app reload. Also, stick to older, slower phones to avoid the AI on-device. Otherwise rooting, GrapheneOS, etc.

At this point, you gotta use AI that can search the web to shovel through the crap. Weird time to be alive from every angle.

LOL, Dems, how about you prove you can do anything useful first, and then ask for money. You're a disgrace.

You're not prepaid cell phone service.

That’s what all the money in the Social Security Administration is for.

Normal cars do whatever is in their power to cease movement while facing upright. In a wreck, the safest state for a car is to cease moving.

The very annoying things right now:

• This was a family of Mennonites, as @IHeartBadCode@fedia.io said, their way of life is purposely dumbified - 15 years ago this would have been a sad story about a child that died because of a cult with backwards thinking.
• Media is broadcasting it like "omg look how America is going backwards" - which yes, we are, but the full story is helpful - they're just dramatizing this one poor kid's death for the clicks. (Example of a way for media to be more truthful: "6 year old Mennonite child in cult dies of Measles due to their ridiculous belief system.")
• Anti-vaccine groups should be given no credibility. Crazy is supposed to live on the fringe so they know they're crazy and nobody will listen to them, not make Comcast News.
• The US government is hiding how bad the measles outbreak is, some alt accounts on bsky suggest the cases are in the 2000s a few days ago, probably higher now.
• Brain worm in charge of HHS which won't help anything.
• It happened in Texas, which given the current climate, media stirring the pot will just drive more opposition between people in the US when we need unity against Tyranny.
• Articles like this are just for the clicks.

an increasingly vaccine-hesitant country

Come on, Comcrap. Loud doesn't mean popular.

Trash "news" service.
