Interesting. I figured there was just a backdoor in Knox or iOS it was using.

Interesting, I haven’t seen the “pure AP” thing, will check it out. Yeah I’m not attached to any particular model of it, since there are pros and cons of each, and they have the same basic structure (communities on lemmy appear as users reposting whatever mentions them, you could represent imageboard communities the same way, etc etc). Hopefully people evolve beyond just imitating popular social media products.

Yes, these guys are just giving you the quick overview. The enemy is colonialism, which has transformed into the neocolonial financial system. This includes all the core countries like USA, Israel, Western Europe, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and Australia: together they control the world’s banks, international legal bodies, high-tech manufacturing, as well as the academic and journalistic training and distribution systems.

So the problem is actually much deeper than a few bad sources. The most valuable fields of study have been twisted by capitalism or basically just destroyed. Just take a look at how they’ve been dealing with climate change. Just because dealing with negative externalities on a business or society level is unprofitable or political suicide, we’ve been treating it like it can’t be mitigated by constraints on manufacturing, and new solutions can’t be invented. The Guardian has been posting the same stupid crap about spraying sulfur into the atmosphere for decades, and until recently they pretended investing in green energy + vehicles + industry could never be made profitable.

Well, Mastodon seems designed to have people give up on it. Austere interface, short charlimit, no federation of reactions, no search bar. I hate it so much. I recommend one of the Misskey forks. It’s more “modern” than any mainstream social media website now.

Use one of the crazier ActivityPub platforms if you want funny reacts. A lot of them are like an unholy mix of Twitter and Discord

Movim if they’re private, or interested in computers, otherwise I have had success with Pixelfed and Funkwhale. I don’t bother explaining any of the weirder forks or what Mastodon or Pleroma is. People want somewhere to post photos and videos on, and I just want to be able to see ActivityPub posts

These guys seem to be having a good time though

Oh hey it’s one of Signal’s main vulnerabilities again @[email protected]

So true bestie no Nazi immigration thugs until the inauguration

If liberals refuse to say water is wet, eventually the Nazis will be trotting it out like they came up with it. Doesn’t really help anyone to deny that intelligence collaboration with USA bloc is mandatory for tech companies.

Does Carlson, who wanted to join the CIA and supported all kinds of neoconservatives throughout his career, really pose any challenge to this? No, he is just going to inoculate Trump supporters from the information being used against the right, which paints itself as “against the New World Order”. Fascism has done this since its inception, such as with Mussolini and others posing as anticapitalist critics as part of their eclectic strategy to gain support while out of power.

This article you guys are getting worked up about is just silly. Telegram is obvious cop shit, but like most “cybersecurity” analysis, this only treats enemies of the US as a threat. Imagine if we gave any real weight to this kind of association with US, Europe, or Israeli intelligence. They’re the actual pioneers of spying technology for the past 70 years.

Just buy a Chinese ereader, Rakuten is way overrated

Seems like something easily avoided with the Fossify Contacts app since you can just do a file backup

Also, “a generation” and “AI” are both optimistic. America is not recovering in its current form.

They already taught me to write cursive, so, as far as I’m concerned, the education system has outlived its usefulness. You want a future for your kids? Come across the Pacific, my former countrymen. It’s not so wide and deep as it appears!

God JPEG XL has me doing the dog having flashbacks in the kitchen GIF

Hm fair enough, would you say it applies to the situation between Google and Firefox? Because at this point it’s clear donors are a bigger factor than any software community. I made the comparison since the improvements of Rust and the potential it has for Linux and technologies intended to replace XMPP seem to have been politicized, giving NGOs control of projects in a way that could be misused further down the line. They’ll have a legitimate justification for it since they keep the projects alive.

American hegemony is better described as global dictatorship of international finance capital. The countries being called “rival superpowers” today are merely semi-peripheral industrial powers that are too developed to be bullied by the United States and its allies, despite their control over the banking system and formidable weaponry.

China and Russia are not pursuing mutualistic development with third world countries out of some kind of moral obligation. It is just more efficient than jockeying for control in the neocolonial system. You know who is trying that? Turkey and India. Watch, they’ll get left behind to line Erdogan and Modi’s pockets. Just relax gringo nobody is coming to take your [checks notes] koalas. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
