Stupid fear mongering like this is why your politics is stuck in the last century.

But whatever floats your boat.

On Lemmy, it’s a sin to make money off your work, especially if it is opensource core projects providing paid infrastructure/support. You can only ask for donations and/or quit. No in-between.

The never ending cycle of rich countries grandstanding and shaming poor countries into tough regulations, green initiatives, environment preservation to slow down their progress in every sector after benefiting off of massive scale no-consequence exploitation of their own.

Because it’s dragged down by conservatives and rich people who benefit off regressive policies.

Your statement is akin to “trickle down economics” where the elites control the fountain and gullible people think it’s going to reach them up any day now.

Sounds like you should go and join a religious cult. They’ll probably have lots of fake shit for you to listen and see.

Also I remember while teamspeak was paid, discord was free.

Most professional programmers I meet use Linux. A few even scrap MacOS out to install Linux on them.

Constantly under attack?

When was it ever separate?

can?

I mean the US gets to shape the narrative everywhere else by making the social companies to do so, but the people removed about how they’re being manipulated in return is always going to be hilarious.

Lemmy is being overrun by brainwashed wankies more than anything.

There have been a few narratives this election which seem to have been tested out on here weeks before getting to Facebook and reddit. “Blue MAGA” was a pretty obvious one they seemed to workshop on Lemmy

can you post some links?

Internet is not a place for public discourse, it never was. it’s the game of numbers where people brigade discussions and make it confirm to their biases.

Post something bad about the US with facts and statistics in US centric reddit sub, youtube video or article, and see how it divulges into brigading, name calling and racism. Do that on lemmy.ml to call out china/russia. Go to youtube videos with anything critical about India.

For all countries with massive population on the internet, you’re going to get bombarded with lies, delfection, whataboutism and strawman. Add in a few bots and you shape the narrative.

There’s also burying bad press with literally downvoting and never interacting.

Both are easy on the internet when you’ve got the brainwashed gullible mass to steer the narrative.

Techcrunch has basically been an ad network for companies who want to promote themselves. Other open source projects probably don’t have a budget to pay for an a̶r̶t̶i̶c̶l̶e̶ ad spot.

After a century… boy that’s depressing.

I bet the chinese are going to stop exploiting the south china sea and the japanese will stop hunting whales in mass after exploiting it for a century.

I’m telling you when they do stop, it’ll be turned into an uplifting news. We’ll almost have 10 whales in the wild by then, but Yaay!!

Execute Order 99.

“Kill all humans”

yea let’s just forget about the illegality of those things and how companies, ISPs and law enforcements fight tooth and nail to shut those services down repeatedly.

You ever wonder why these companies don’t operate in countries that don’t have strict piracy laws and can’t shut down sites with court orders? Because it’s still easier to pirate than face criminal charges.

WTF. I would fucking love barebones launcher. I was holding off using epic launcher because it was so laggy and slow when it first came out. I was using legendary before, but stopped using Epic altogether. Might just give it a try again.

I’m starting to feel steam is getting bloated and plain annoying. I just want a launcher to launch a game and pair with my friends after a long day at work. I don’t want a crappy browser following me around in the background. I already have a browser if I need it. We use a different app for voice so could do away with all the other bs as well.

The surface level entitlement in these threads are always off the charts.

Everyone is on this bandwagon that Google hates adblockers on youtube. It certainly does but it hasn’t been this agressive as of late.

You know why?

The issue google has is with server farms guzzling up the entirety of their video database for training their AI. They’re using open source tools/frontends to do these downloads. That takes up lot of resource and bandwidth unlike ignoring the minority of plebs using youtube without ads.

They want to rule the AI trend not fuel the COMPETITION. They will do whatever to keep their competition from getting ahead.

And it isn’t cheap to keep up with server farms unlike letting miniscule numbers of terminally online mouth breathing basement dwellers who think too high of themselves block ads.

But whatever floats your boat.

Block me or I’ll keep saying forbidden things and your handlers will start to get mad.

“I know I’m right and you’re wrong, no matter what the reality is” isn’t the flex you think it is.

Also go ahead lay everything out here and let’s see if it deters everyone you consider a CCP shill to stop as you’re told by your handlers.

brainwashed psycho.

There’s an easy solution. Dump and create new accounts every week or month or whatever fits your needs. Backup and move your data if you want (lemmy’s data import doesn’t work well with big data though).

Just like changing your password routinely increases your security, new online identity gives you privacy.

Because the fediverse isn’t as big as you think it is and so the number of crazies aren’t a problem yet.
