AI by white techbros is okay. Chinese competition is bad. That’s the real story. All the rich people are terrified of Chinese competition in the US, and now Germany has a bunch of Nazi bootlickers too.

Why would every American buy one if they can’t afford insurance + medical bills to pay for health care? “Oh look, I’m having a heart attack. Good to know. Guess I’ll just keep working.”

Laws don’t work any longer. Only for poor folks.

Laced with fentanyl.

He’s basically gutting NASA so it can be reduced to a taxpayer-funded corporate subsidy for greedy billionaires and giant corps. They’re killing everyone’s dreams and inspiration.

This is the real reason for tarrifs. Forcing citizens into paying ridiculous prices so biliionares can circle jerk about how much more power they can get. They’re scourges and bottomless voids of resources and misery.

Billions of dollars, and they can’t afford to buy ebooks?

If this happens, can we please all make a protest or petition with the FCC?

They need a tech ethics board, and people need a license to operate or work in decision-making capacities. Also, anyone above the person’s head making an unethical decision loses their license, too. License should be cheap to prevent monopoly, but you have to have one to handle data. Don’t have a license. Don’t have a company. Plant shitty surveillance without separate, noticeable, succinctly presented agreements that are clear and understandable, with warnings about currently misunderstood uses, then you lose license. First offense.

Edit: Also mandatory audits with preformulated and separate, and succint notifications are applied. “This company sells your info to the government and police forces. Any private information, even sexual in nature, can be used against you. Your information will be used by several companies to build your complete psychological profile to sell you things you wouldn’t normally purchase and predict crimes you might commit.”

I’ve been trying to tell people for 15 years. It hasn’t worked a single bit. It’s frustrating that people think they have nothing to hide when their carelessness and lack of tech knowledge is ruining the future of the next generations. I just can’t try to explain it to everyone. They don’t link the relation at all. I thought maybe eventually, they would just get it, but here we still are…

I feel like the last on the list is on everything these days. 400 pages of ToS.

The trick is figuring out what parties do that without constantly sniffing traffic or reading source code. Sometimes I wonder what all on F Droid has malware.

What do you mean by dark patterns?

So just use one too and blend in. Put on a stupid Trump or racist hat, and if you are not white, put on gloves. Then surround them.

No. There probably isn’t more violence anywhere else yet though.

Bought the gov means you’re rich.

So if someone says Windows, everybody gets a Bingo somehow?

Find a community you like. Be a member of it and you figure out more regarding subcommunities. It’s easier than on the big ones.

You must be really likeable. People downvoted the shit out of me on Reddit. I always hoped people didn’t hate what I said enough to downvote that much in real life.

Trump’s election is what did it for me. That and Reddit’s user experience had become so watered down with slop and bad content presentation in general. I’ve unsubscribed from Amazon, no Paypal, deleted Facebook, stopped using Gmail mostly (still working on that), deleted Instagram, stopped watching CNN, stopped allowing tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible. If your site tracks, I’m using another unless it is reasonable for the application.

Since then, on my phone, I use FOSS browser, NextDNS, Eternity for Lemmy, Pixelfed and Mastodon. For all my searching, I started using Swisscows, but now I am searching with SearxNG. Also, I am trying Proton, Tutanota, and kollabnow for email. Got Arch Linux on laptop because Microsoft tracking and snooping is so far out of control it should be illegal 50 different ways.

Fuck those techbros. This is now our civic duty.
