Is it really an ad if it’s not actually trying to sell something though?

This is why Arch never stuck for me. I work with Linux all day. I don’t want to spend my free time fixing my own shit because a update broke the bootloader.

There’s been a ton in the UK outed as predators themselves. It’s projection.

I just pretend I can’t speak English.

You are vastly overestimating the technical ability of the average computer user. I don’t even mean that in an elitist/disparaging way, they just don’t care about this stuff because they don’t need to.

BANG BANG BANG ASS POLICE OPEN UP

Normally platforms are around for a while before enshittification kicks in, I see that Digg are cutting straight to the chase before the site even launches.

I probably will check the new Digg out, but I’ve come to the conclusion that all corporate-run social media platforms will go down the road of fucking over their users in the name of profit eventually. I’m not willing to move to another one and build up connections and communities just for some rich fuck to destroy it on a whim. I’m far more interested in helping to build and grow federated platforms like Lemmy so that there is a true alternative outside of their sphere of influence entirely.

Bad faith agenda pushing was a problem in the days of forums and BBS too, although admittedly to a lesser extent because those platforms were smaller and less commercial. As long as people are able to talk to each other over the internet, that will be a problem. I think the best way to tackle that is being able to spot it and call it out when it happens.

It’s better in many ways, but one that I feel is quite important is that there’s no profit motive to keep users on the platform and engaging with advertisers for as long as possible, and therefore no need to develop the kind of exploitative algorithms that drive screen addiction and engagement through rage.

Corporate social media was a mistake. Genuinely, I lay a lot of why the state of the western world is the way it is at the feet of Zuckerberg and his peers.

Takes time to quit an abusive relationship.

Good choice for privacy, not so much for piracy. They removed their port forwarding feature a while ago.

Nonono this isn’t austerity, it’s sparkling cutting everything to the fucking bone. Totally different.

From what I understand they tend to use Discord, which doesn’t use E2EE and does very much cooperate with the authorities on stuff like this. A good chunk of them don’t seem particularly bright so just a matter of time while the low-hanging fruit is rounded up, but I can well imagine that the sheer volume of referrals the NCA gets for this kind of thing will take a while to get through.

This sad fucker just doesn’t know how to keep himself out of trouble does he? No doubt he’ll be blaming the deep state or the Jews before too long.

I managed to get one for £4.70 the other day, cheapest I’ve seen in a while outside of Spoons. Mind that this was at a tiny DIY music venue nowhere near London though.

This is illegal, you have to pick a side.

I use it in chilli and cottage pies as well. Just adds that little something that you notice when it’s missing.

The Lidl version is better. Spreads much more easily. The name brand stuff is like trying to spread pitch on your toast.

That’s weird. Have you tried reinstalling?
