Yeah the statement it links to is from 2015.

The other transforms these societal demands in woke-liberalism, erasing the class struggle component of feminism, anti-lgbtphobia, anti-rascism. Rendering these fights too individualized and inconsequential.

Which is still not the same level of existential threat as forcing women to die of easily treatable obstetric issues or giving paramilitary thugs a budget bloated enough to be a top 13 military by funding carte blanche to execute or disappear protestors/POC/people with accents. Just because neither party is leftist (or ideal) does not mean they are the same.

HOWEVER, I’m deliberately changing it to mean there isn’t even a simulacrum of difference between Democrats and Republicans

I will grant you that both parties serve monied interests and share a lot of the same agenda. However, one party has been working for generations to roll back rights for women, POC, LGBTQIA+ to the 1950s.

Not a lawyer, but this sounds antitrust here in the States too.

Someone once analyzed web based recapatcha. Their conclusion was, G isn’t trying to figure out whether you are human. It’s trying to figure out WHICH human you are. It’s identity resolution, not bot detection. If it can’t get a high enough confidence estimate, you get denied. Sometimes with infinite captchas.

I’d be interested in reading/watching if you can recall the source.

They want their quick fix of dopamine and damned be the minor inconvenience of possibly interacting with a bot.

Reddit still has some value in that it has active niches or hobbyist subs. I still pop in for book/movie/tech recommendations.

Thiel himself said 4/6 of the founders were making bombs back in HS.

Oh for sure. My comment was just to say just because it’s closed source doesn’t mean you can’t get some sense of what they’re trying to do behind the scenes with your data.

Closed source doesn’t necessarily hide trackers either. Tracker Control (on Android) will point out tracker libraries and tracker domains closed source apps use. A good DNS blocker will let you know too by the logs.

Because without conscious effort to expand your horizons, your preferences and distastes ossify around what you were exposed to growing up and in young adulthood. However, the world continues to change. Aging also can make adapting harder cognitively.

I was so disgusted setting up Windows the last time I had to do so. The installation process was just upselling/shoving adware. And now every other update bricks your pc.

At the bottom of user skill, you’ve got your aunt who needs a Chrome bootloader. Linux is perfect for them, maybe better than Windows.

My school system had thin clients running CentOS growing up and nobody had issues.

Your fingerprint being one of like five people running TempleOS would deanonymize you lol.

Lebanon would have had to have launched a land reclamation campaign big enough to make the Dutch look like amateurs or made their own Greater Lebanon for the headline to have been in anything other than percentages.

Elon: hails from the OG apartheid state, in his free time boosts racist stereotypes about black people, far right influencers and far right political movements, one of which is literally the remnants of the Nazi party and does the Nazi salute for the whole world to see. This guy: totes not a Nazi

Someone has to ensure they’re using slurs instead of that godawful “cis” word.

Get off that shithole. It’s all Nazis, bots and troll farms anyway.

Yeah but Apartheid Clyde’s AI pumps smog and other pollutants in Memphis which affects its impoverished black residents.

There’s quite a few Discord alternatives. IMO Stoat and especially Fluxer are pretty discord-like. Fluxer is pretty new and still working out kinks. They support (Stoat) or will support (Fluxer) self-hosting and Fluxer will implement (limited) E2EE. I have heard of other alternatives like Root, TeamSpeak, Mumble but cannot speak to them.
