I don’t mean blanket free speech. I’m fine with people being censored for being complete assholes, for instance. What we have seen is censoring of people with the politics of Ms. Rachel lol

Uuuuhhuhhhhh both

You gotta hit em with the old “im a patsy”

I can move things with the Power of My Mind

Seconding Picard. MusicBrainz is the only part of my little ecosystem where I stick my neck out and constantly broadcast all my listening activity. The suggestions are awesome.

It’s the political culture of extreme paranoia, global domination, trying to ban encryption, sophisticated torture camps, IP insanity where they haul pirate site guys away for years, killed a guy over downloading academic papers off JSTOR, etcetera (no really, ETCETERA, it goes on and on) for me. You’re right about fedimap, I will see if there is more going on than I looked at last year. Plus, stuff like that and Fedidb is opt-in, which is why I was hoping there was more stuff lurking around. You’re right about friction but it’s easy for me to turn stuff like this into a game.

The RoK put communists in concentration camps and it is ignored as often as those who died in Hitler’s camps

So many people in this world need to die

Yeah just keep pointing out their hypocrisy while they shovel another twelve hundred people’s remains into unmarked graves why don’t you

Nice try, guy who doesn’t know what words mean or what’s going on. You’re in for a rough couple of years. Don’t say nobody warned you.

Do you not use backups?

Wrong, XMPP is the only option that actually lets you talk to baddies on their phone number without them downloading a new app just for you. Aside from some kind of tortured solution such as AirMessage/BlueBubbles involving buying a literal Macbook.

Every day I wish for the ability to go back in time to stop the release of that idiotic movie Wag thr Dog. This is not a cohesive explanation. It’s clear he will face no consequences for being a child rapist. Which should make sense considering he is overseeing the largest modern day rape and genocide opetation possible, why would his hogs draw a line there?

You follow my reasoning here? There’s so much more to what producrs the jingoistic US leadership ideology than accomplishing petty personal goals. The US lives off of predating on poor countries like this, and their development is a fundamental threat to its way of life.

What is an authoritarian? I am trying to identify them so I can deal with the issue handedly. You seem like an expert on authoritarianism so it ought to be easy.

Great, who is going to tell me that kids need to get infected with airborne AIDS in order to protect the rich now?

I strongly encourage them to do this. Ukraine’s done a wonderful job of pressuring Russia to take a more hardline stance on the war and pushing them closer with China. But, “the last rep is the most important”. This final push is required.

You haven’t been following the development of that “weapons platform” very closely, then. It’s about as likely as Trump’s plan for rare earth metals.

Brazil must invent Lua 2.

What makes you think that the US tech bubble imploding will magically destroy the rest of the world’s infrastructure? Or is a truly international internet what you mean?
