For a better lemmy experience, remember to block lemmy.ml , lemmygrad, and hexbear.net . On mbin, use URL spec /d/<domain_name> and block. Or since that doesn’t seem to work, just block their communities whenever they pop-up.
Moved on to the better fediverse platform, mbin, avoid lemmy instances: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/blob/main/README.md (scroll to bottom)
Oh no, models will be more responsive to anyone as opposed to only billionaires.
This is not good news, but when you’ve let the genie out of the bottle, this just seems like balancing the scales. At this point, transparency, not closing off the information to a select information, is a good thing. Something social networks like this fail to get.
Meanwhile conbrainwashedtives are dellusioning themselves that those systems are part of the “deep state” and not a part of the government that’s classified for a reason, part of it being the check and balances they only defend when the candidate they don’t like is in power. Welp, this was coming, and this is going to critically expose the systems to the moron that sent firing notices from an unsecured mail server without even going into how they are going to abuse it themselves.

Spoken as if it was true Russian troll factory appraised propaganda. This is the sort of message of apathy they want permeating throughout the opposition. The problem isn’t people, the problem starts with you. What are you going to do about it, and why should other people do something you don’t want to work towards? Those people you are calling to revolt, what if they think the same thing you do.
The US thinks it’s special, so it doesn’t seem to think that this scenario is already working out in countries like Turkey, in countries like Hungary, in countries like Belarus … You are not going to get a revolt, if you were that special it would already materialize at the personal level. You will decay into a dictatorship. The people overthrowing your democracy are psychopaths, they are psychopaths that have trained to not give a concern about society, they have lived in positions of affluence where they haven’t had to care or have been burned by it, hell, these psychopaths have even played all the world building and backstabbing sandbox computer games with all their heart that for you were just an amusement and barely a footnote, and they will continue to gaslight your doubts and fears.
They have all the experience, and you, well, if anyone does rebel, it will be done with inexperience and a healthy dose of “well, society deserves this” apathy. At that point, it is just a matter of the will to accept losing for something you believe for versus the practicality of just living on no matter what because at least you live. A lot of people have clearly chosen their side, and it tends to be with “well it was chosen for me” when that’s just projection of what they have already decided to choose. People praise Luigi, people have seen how society unites with Luigi, but they will never be a Luigi.
Basically, the governmental version of shotgun argumentation.
“Whistleblows”. What a moronic take, in this regard taking the word of Edward Snowden is like taking the word of a random stranger in the street. At least we know on what Edward Snowden is likely spending his days on in Russia: Gaming. Wouldn’t blame him, it’s not like he can freely travel.
So is gambling.
this shit will fade in to the into the domain of low skill grifters.
Seems about right. It just happens you can really get ahead by being a low skilled grifter in today’s world.
It really isn’t. This seems like rewriting history for views, although it’s still an interesting read. This article is basically:
At the root of this reactionary thinking was a writer and public intellectual named George Gilder
- followed by an explanation of how his influence started and grew there, followed by a fair degree of mental gymnastics to how well-it-didnt-seem-to-be-there-but-it-really-was.
Societies change, I’m sure his and a number of factors less colluded that the article suggests also did contribute to it, but it wasn’t the same. IMO the biggest transition has been from Silicon Valley being fostered to create an investment hotspot to Silicon Valley being targeted by increasingly classist special interests that were losing their competitive traction because of how much influence its innovations were having on the rest of the world.
Take your whataboutistic absolutes somewhere else, there are uncensored models and the fact that there is potentially heavy censorship behind the major ones to serve political interests is not a good thing.
I can’t believe the US’ first dictator will be this diapered decrepit senile old scammer.
You probably crossed an admin and didn’t even realize it. Reddit is really utterly shit behind the curtains, they just happen to put on a good face that has generally fooled politicians and influencers alike. Most people care about what’s behind the curtains like they do with politics, not much at all, so they keep getting away with it specially due to the heavy control they have on the narrative. You know societies will begin to give a shit about social networks and what that is doing to our real societies when you actually have a recourse against their Black Mirror Nosedives.
Now our governments will give a shit for AI IP trampling. Or at least it would, if the “leader of the free world” wasn’t so busy threatening it and re-prioritizing concerns. Eat the shit pie whole, Elon.
Talk about a shitload slice of the irony pie, the industry that has not given two shits about intellectual property is getting undone by the masters of intellectual property theft and they don’t even have a recourse because of the bed they’ve made. Now, it’s time to lie in it.
Virtue signalling idol virtue signals, more at eleven.
Whataboutism is basically their go to. Their mind doesn’t understand people actually being capable of critical thinking and being able to criticize both things, they just project their own personality cult belief system.
It’s like those fairy tales Zionists try to convince you about that every belief system should seek their own nation. It’s easy to come up with free land when you have zero value for the people living on it.
A lot of technology goods. Which basically means China, which was already doing a lot of their manufacture, wins out. China is going to be moving all in on the US international market as it continues to ramp up this way, and the US will be left increasingly alone when it is eventually forced to aid Taiwan in its defense.
It’s a practical monopoly due to how they’ve exploited their Android presence in the mobile market. The only viable alternative is Yelp. The biggest problem is getting people to jump on the same platform and to leave reviews, and Google does this with mobile location tracking, even prompting the user when they think they’ve been remotely near a location at times. Maybe it does need a fediversed alternative, it is quite the unaddressed monopoly.
confederation
… odd choice for a term … Nobody in the EU would define themselves by it …
Well, trying to use terms to justify the US confederacy post-Civil War aside, it would actually be better for a lot of states. The rest of the world can no longer trust and increasingly bipolar schizophrenic US, whereas that’s not the case for a certain number of states. You can’t overcome the deeply flawed and corrupt two party federal system, and it’s rapidly becoming even worse. If you can’t fix the problems from within, you will only be able to fix them from outside.
That’s ok, the ones who don’t want to join will get deported as illegal immigrants once they barge in. That, or put into remote reservations in land nobody wants.
