People clearly realize that these algorithms are suppressing dissidents and freedom of speech. Why do they continue to subject themselves to these hacky workarounds and self-censorship?

This map is very inaccurate, as it neglects those who had consumed electrical energy through lightning striking them. That cooked flesh didn’t come for free!

Go fash, eat trash

Damn, I never knew that Markdown (or Lemmy idk) had footers!

I thought that Syncthing has its own encryption solution: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/untrusted.html

Otherwise, well done! It always feels great to have your perseverance and technical prowess benefit you directly.

I don’t think that you need to put your emoticons in a code block, you can just use escapes (backslashes) instead!

You can see exactly how I did it with the “view source” button in the web version of Lemmy.

Lazy Vegan frozen food. They make single portions of nice food that you only have to fry for 8 minutes. I keep at least 1 bag in my freezer for when I get sick or otherwise can’t be bothered to prepare a meal.

Why on earth is it opt-OUT? They could just keep on springing up “new” brokers which you’ll be playing whack-a-mole until the end of time. I don’t think that it should be opt-in either. How crazy of an idea would it be if we were to entirely forbid the sale of private information that people only “consented” to because they clicked the checkbox for a ToS that nobody ever reads, especially at this scale? How does this industry of spying actually benefit our world?

Cave Johnson here. It turns out that moon dust isn’t in fact cocaine. I am now terribly ill.

Go Go Gadget Gouge My Eyes Out!

Is there someone you forgot to ask?

• Putin: I consent!
• Trump: I consent!
• Zelensky: I don’t!

This YouTuber in particular does indeed just frequently throw out statements without properly checking whether they are even true at all.

Maybe they don’t want the karma bots to mingle with the propaganda bots.

If I ever have to buy a car, I’ll either get a used one from the 00’s or look for a “dumb” one. The amount of power that manufacturers wield over our own devices that we bought and paid for these days is nauseating.

I’ve heard that housefresh.com is a good source of legit reviews, for anyone looking for an air purifier.

Cory Doctorow describes a “reverse centaur” as a worker that’s tasked with babysitting (in this case) the output of an LLM to make sure that it isn’t wrong, as it often is. A plain old “centaur” would be a worker that uses technologies that make the work that they do easier and faster, like a centaur who uses their horse legs to run faster than a human. The “reverse centaur” would be a human with the head of a horse, where the human body would listen to the head of the horse (or LLM). That situation doesn’t benefit the human nor the horse part.

This is what happens when a time traveler steps on a twig.
