#hoover — Public Fediverse posts

I registered a washing machine simply for the 10 years part guarantee. After 20 min dealing with an AI voice assistant it turns out that the parts guarantee is only a thing if you had taken out a rip off £8 a month scammy warranty. Of course the plastic fixtures snap after a while. Everything feels built like a scam these days. #hoover #fakeguarantee

“They're Launching A New COINTELPRO For The 21st Century”

by Caitlin Johnstone in Caitlin’s Newsletter on Substack

@uk_politics

“Between 1956 and 1971, the FBI conducted covert operations under COINTELPRO to infiltrate and subvert Black civil rights groups, the Communist Party USA, Vietnam War protester organizations, and feminist groups with the goal of stomping out all meaningful leftward political movement in the United States. The feds never fully stopped running such programs of course — groups like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter were known to have been targeted by police surveillance and infiltration. But it’s clear the rightists in the White House are aiming for something far more aggressive, and FBI Director Kash Patel sounds super stoked about the chance to become a 21st century J Edgar Hoover”

@paul
Sounds like an #GenAISlop #Hoover to me… block.

@sinituulia the only real answer to getting a #hoover is to buy a Henry. Long cables, long pipes, properly large bags, durable, 100% repairable (they’ve been making them for decades), more powerful than many and, indeed QUIET. It was quite the revelation to find a #vacuumCleaner doesn’t need to be loud.

Does chicken fried steak still have a place in Austin?

This is a story about chicken fried steak. Just the mention of the food can trigger a Pavlovian response — a tightening of the stomach muscles, a flaring of the nostrils. Maybe you even reached for a napkin to wipe away pha…

@jupiter_rowland Reminds me of why people say the incorrect word...

#Hoover a #common example (used instead of #vacuum cleaner)

So such things can be called almost in compliment to those things that were:

⏺️ first or widespread as #pioneers (like #Mastodon)
⏺️ most sold / most popular
⏺️ developed at a specific time or price to have been effect (like during few crisises in the last decade, e.g. #COVID + #Twitter #X fails)
⏺️ just what they have - not knowing the #tech or #soft #evolution.

Kann sich irgendjemand J. Edgar #Hoover in einer Eishockey Kabine feiernd vorstellen? Nein, oder? Mir sagt das alles. Obwohl #Hoover nicht gerade Demokrat war.

Watching youtube without an ad stripper is rad.

The injection of Christian-Nationalist propaganda is weird. In an interview with Jason Stanley, the excellent fascism researcher, I got a Jesus saves ad and a Hoover Institution ad about the evils of "socialism".
The funny bit of the latter was that the two guys in the ad both were beneficiaries of a major aspect of the denounced concept: free public education all the way through university.

My new washing machine connects to my phone via Bluetooth but I haven't set this up because I don't like AI. Somehow, the AI was that clever that it managed to connect to my washing machine without me telling it to. It also managed to send the AI overview and open the door without me even clicking on it. That's my kind of AI! Or I might have just needed to wait two minutes for the door to unlock...... #AI #laundry #hoover

@evacide great if all the info goes to my localagi db but terrible if it goes to big tech - this already happens with phones, no glasses required #hoover

When #WWIVeterans marched on Washington and set up an encampment to get
pay owed them for 12 years. #Hoover sent in armed forces to chase them out. It was during #TheGreatDepression. 1932. They were starving.

Don't worry, the Irony Police have already been alerted.

A quotation from Herbert Hoover

The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers. He cannot, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his shortcomings by blaming his opponents and hope that the people will forget. The engineer simply cannot deny that he did it. If his works do not work, he is damned.

Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, President of the US (1928-32)
Memoirs: Years of Adventure, 1874–1920, ch. 11 “The Profession of Engineering” (1952)
