And why should I believe anything you say? I mean, if I'm correct and the internet is a giant skinner box used to condition us. Wouldn't that be what you'd argue anyway?

Granted, but that doesn't answer the question at hand.

No, it is on voyager too. I built and installed it last night.

How do we avoid defederation through leemy.world and lemmy.ml? What I mean is, there are instances for Canada, or FOSS, or any other inalienable trait. Most can communicate with eachother with exception of porn specific instances. When new people sign up, they look for popular instances and there are no restrictions on what you can join. So, larger instances like .world and .ml will have more foot traffic and more new signups. I think that's just an immediate path to recreate reddit and I think that needs to be recognised and seriously avoided, at all costs. The whole point is that this is not-for-profit, free of advertisements and already voyager as downloaded for android contains ads. Also, unless specifying only foss software during the building process of app on linux, ads are present there too. I would love to see some community driven livestreams or events, where we could fund the developers ourselves through donations. We're all refugess from reddit, but that doesn't mean we have to be "libre reddit." I think we could easily fund ourselves if we fostered more of a connected sense of community through events and conversations, turn this group of websites into something more than just friendly social media.

I block everything Meta so I don't know what that is, but why would you link to centralised social media from the fediverse. We come here to avoid the tracking.

Yeah, but they can just lie. That's how all this happened. Generate distrust in the media, create a fake climate of fear against "evil immigrants." No politician calls them liars, because they're all complicit. Capitalist mouthbreathing drones.

To be fair, it did stop a lot of people wanking into their cereal. Not all, surely, but a lot.

Carney is a former central banker, he will not do anything to upset the flow of money. Realistically, every single career politician in the world is complicit in this. Why can we build no more, houses? Why is everything so expensive? Why is the American party of "progressiveness" running Kamala Harris whose brother is CEO at Uber? It's an illusion, they are all compromised, they are all bought, that's just the nature of Capitalism. We have bring back the death penalty, but only for corporate person-hood. If you commit global terroristic acts like Meta, Muskrat and Amazon, we should be able to kill these things. We have to stop putting the 1%'s property rights over the lives of the 99%. It's our planet, why do we need elected individuals whose sole purpose is to make decisions detrimental to everyone but themselves. We need to make Fight Club a documentary.

A friendly reminder to everyone. Lemmy is absolutely not representative of the broader mass media dialogue happening around us. We have to be paying attention to how all people, close with us in our day to day lives interact with it instead. My boss is a retired mechanic who thought Trump was gonna run the US "like a business." I have been speaking very openly about my views on the American News Media bias in Canada. How new and legacy media are both monopolies controlled by the same small group of men. How the Heritage Foundation funded the Trump Campaign. How every far-right group appearing after Covid had the same names and message. America First, Canada First, Britain First, Ireland First, Francais Premier and all, coincidentally, funded by right-wing, American, Christian groups. Something clicked with him today, while he was on his phone and I watched as it all suddenly made sense to him.

Then I watched as he actually became worried. People know that it's Big Tech and we have to have these conversations, because that's how you get people to put their phones down and re-evaluate the idea of trusting 5 companies with all of their personal information and doing all computing in a web browser. That's how you wake them up to the fact that LLM's and embedded AI assistants are only their to spy on you and silence dissent.

Hey Co-pilot, have any of our user's expressed dissatisfaction with the regime? Here's a curated list.

We are so close to class consciousness do not let this echo-chamber be a safe space. Get Offline, get loud, get honest. Fuck Google

Homely af spam bot. At least they're going for realism.

Maybe, but it's a brand new Linux install. New browser and everything, just a bit unnerving you know?

Due to the giant GOPstrich in the room. I have switched to linux and been actively trying to learn as much computer science as possible. I set up a TOR relay using Librewolf as the browser, using socks5 to send data from the browser, through the network. As an experiment, I asked Microsoft's AI where I was and it immediately returned my city. I tried again using a VPN, with a different browser and it still got it right. So, I wanted to ask, how can we limit the telemetry collected by these programs? How can we better limit their ability to spy on us?

Right, but as a counterpoint. The French weren't facing certain global annihilation brought on by Megacorporations who convinced every person in the world to voluntarily spy on themselves for the last 2 decades in order to amass more power, wealth and influence than every individual country in the world. Those, whose mere existence has accelerated global warming to the point that the purposeful act of ecocide has become their main goal, after they force us into world war 3, strip mine the globe for resources in order to fuck off and terraform Mars. All to live out a South African-Apartheidist-with-a-botched-penis-implant's grandfather's wet dream of enslaving humanity into a technocratic hellscape before Larping the provably erroneous Ugenix "hypothesis" of hyper-diffusion. So, you know, maybe give The French Revolution a break?
