Oh look, tankie horseshit. How many millions died as a result of “efforts to establish socialism”? So why don’t you shove that disingenuous bullshit up your ass.

Ah, the things we do to attempt to preserve our dignity when we think we’re getting something only entertainingly hot, but turns out to be Chicken à la Mace…

How about regulating all the big companies - prohibit sitting on apartments to drive up rents, limit Airbnbs,that sort of thing.

Sooner or later, Vader was going to find someone that shares his fetish for black leather…

overwatchnsfw?

Now that’s just sad!

Speaking of federation: How do we get at it here in Lemmy land?

No, this is what they should be doing. It’s the difference between owning your house and renting. They get to make the rules on their instance, they’re not at the mercy of a tech bro company or a trash billionaire that might have a political agenda against actual journalism…

After what happened to the BBC and NPR on Twitter, who can blame them for saying “Fine, we’ll do it ourselves!”

And despite security recommendations, too many IT depts still force password resets every 90 days…

And people confronted with this change their password from “p@55w0rd!1” to “p@55w0rd@2”. Yep extra-secure!

The thing I noticed right out of the gate when I went slumming on Threads is that the Android app package is 77MB. Compare that to Mastodon at 2.5MB.

Two apps that (from the user’s perspective) do pretty much the same thing - make queries to servers and display pieces of text on the screen, maybe with some pictures or videos. Not that hard.

So what does that extra 74MB of bloat in the Threads app do? Meta’s not telling us…

Oh, be nice to Stockton - his entire life imploded because of this incident!

He Gets Us…

Yep. Defederation’s the best weapon here. Keep the fascists ostracized!

Yes, another thing I don’t ever want to see here: normalization of bigotry & fascism.

On Twitter, I saw one of the chuds saying “You’re judging all Nazis as assholes!”

Why yes I judge all Nazis as assholes! Fuck normalizing fascism. KILL IT WITH FIRE, MODS!

Oh don’t get me started on the sealioning from the bigots! “But we need to have more Valuable Discussion™ about my horseshit that’s been debunked a million times already!”

Safe spaces for fascism. Spez let The_Donald and its imitators fester for years, thus turning Reddit into a de facto Nazi Bar. Thus years of harassing non-fascists & minorities, brigading, spouting bigotry, disinformation and toxicity while the admins yawned.

I deleted my Twitter account when Elon reinstated Donald Trump’s account - it was clear there was no saving that platform.

It’s a Nazi bar now because the owner is a Nazi.

I still have my Reddit account, but it’s becoming quickly like my Facebook account - I barely use it. In Facebook, it’s to catch up with friends and family, and in Reddit, it’s the more esoteric subs. But I feel dirty & gross every time I load up a page from those sites, so I don’t unless I have to.
