1·1 day agoHave you not been paying attention?!
Of course not.
And we didn’t used to have just the two seasons, winter and everything on fire.
1·2 days agoVim for the most part, and nano for when I’m tired and can’t remember how to work vim.
Because a communist country minding its own business while trying to provide for its people is evil, while a capitalist country bombing country after country non-stop for decades while trying to provide for a handful of billionaire sociopath pedophiles is good.
2001·4 days ago“The claim that WhatsApp can access people’s encrypted communications is patently false,” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said. He added that the bureau had already “disavowed this purported investigation, calling its own employee’s allegations unsubstantiated.”
I can’t help but notice that in response to people’s concern that Meta may be able to read people’s messages, the Meta spokesperson responds that WhatsApp can’t read them. A little bit of administrative juggling on Meta’s end so that the team with access to the messages doesn’t fall within the WhatsApp department, and both claims could be true.
the only way to stop this is for entire swaths of people to quit their jobs.
There’s a middle ground: unionization and strikes. Not always successful but more effective than just complaining.
Age verification done the right way does not require providing any personal info. I 100% oppose forcing people to share personal data with private companies. This is not what we’re talking about here.
Handing your government ID and other personal data to private companies is exactly how current proposals for online age verification work. It could be done without this, but that’s not what governments and corporations are pushing for, because the goal is easier surveillance. Take a look at some of the problems with Persona, for example:
The next step will be to make more essential services online only, so people have to use the internet.

They probably know this perfectly well. But there are corporations and their lobbyists to think of, and they’d much prefer it if ordinary people weren’t able to build their own devices and spare parts, but instead had to buy them at inflated prices.
Into fascism. But also from fascism.
Ardour is also good.
5·10 days agoClearly, scientists are witches and must be burned.
Right-wing politics has always been an incoherent ragbag of momentarily convenient positions, insincerely held.
Pete Hegseth bragged on TV that he had not washed his hands in 10 years, because “germs are not a real thing.” These are stupid people.
5·10 days agoSame here, using the default web interface, but this bug seems to happen sometimes on Lemmy: half the people see a link and the other half just an image. OP probably did post a link.
That has always been true, but the prices are higher for all tiers now.
Yeah but then they wouldn’t get to collect people’s biometric data to sell to the highest bidder.
VPS hosting doesn’t allow you to pretend to be in other countries to view their TV or sites that are censored in your country (unless you pay again for a VPS in each country). So it won’t replace everything commercial VPNs do.
