Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.
it’s a bit like intrusive thoughts, a mental picture of violence. it’s a bit embarrassing to acknowledge to have such violent imagery, but i don’t act on it.
Intrusive thoughts is something many people have, and if you aren’t damaged as fuck, you won’t act on them. Something else to compare it with would be the call of the void - that feels similar.
Count me in on cute aggression - my 4 cats are regular victims of cuddle attacks, and one of them is so extra cute and loves me so much giving me soft love bites on my arm (maybe she has the same thing?) - when she does this i really get aggressive when petting her - and she loves it, giving me lots of kisses while i stroke her belly from top to bottom, if she doesnt zone out and start drooling
excuse me, i’ve got to grab my kittie now - aggressively lol
ok, so the system must be able to complete payment themselves using well-known “fancy” credit cards, which belong to a white guy working in Big Tech (or an equivalent business credit card, which would be easier) complete with linkedin profile.
sounds more complicated, but should still be doable. but it’s a mind experiment anyways (and probably already in use by secret services to keep a low profile on their agents).
That’s a good argument, so probably the location should be in a pretty high COL suburb, maybe a gated community.
i know it’s not that easy, i’m quite paranoid about my trackability, but running that browser in a small VM would be an option.
Italian law allows for up to three years in jail for “promotion of pirated copyrighted materials.” Italy generally has some fucked up laws, like ISPs required to block DNS addresses by request of Copyright holders for blocking of illegal live sports in very short time frames, and those blocks are not even required to be listed somewhere, which has already caused some issues like when they blocked a cloudflare ip, causing completely innocent sites and services suddenly being blocked in the whole country. Recently they demanded that google Poison their DNS servers using that same law.
Italy is the MPAA’s wet dream manifest
E: i forgot that they also managed to block the entire google drive domain in italy because there were some downloads there lol
E2: i was not completely up to date: In January, the Court of Milan found that Cloudflare’s CDN, DNS server, and WARP VPN were facilitating piracy. The court threatened Cloudflare with fines of up to 10,000 euros per day if it did not begin blocking the sites.
I have an idea for a business: a browser with vpn. the catch is that the vpn connects to the poorest areas of the country you live in, and the browser reports your machine as the most crappy thing that can browse the web - which should result in low, low prices everywhere!

Wasn’t the title originally the book her mother wrote?
wait for a rainy day, no watering needed!
And that is exactly the situation in Russia: it’s an
It’s pretty late, so i don’t repeat the exercise for China or bring up more examples - i’m pretty sure that if you try to counter my points someone else will give you more examples.
You ignore 50% of the political compass here - authoritarianism sucks just as much as fascism or unbridled capitalism.
but the only way to break through this is to change the platform. Since both of them already keep their posts equal on both sites, it makes switching easier for everyone; removing their content from Xitter would be an incentive for others to switch.
The ideal way would be to try and band together a large amount of “regular posters” and completely switch on an agreed date together; that would have a pull effect for others to do the same.
It seems that multiple people don’t get what you are trying to say, and i would really like to know. if you have the time, could you elaborate?
and we are talking about reasons why people are still there - those two aren’t one, because you can read their posts somewhere else too. Except if you meant that people are still there because those two are still there.
It does not restrict them per se, it’s just that the mechanics of what to show you are either simply based on posting time, or amount of “interactions” or “interactions/time” or similar simple algorithms. It would be possible to analyze posts for specific content and show you for example ragebait only, but i doubt that pull request would be accepted - you would probably have to make a fork of your fediverse platform and implement it there.
Cory Doctorow is on mastodon, just like Molly White
i know that it’s configured as a D-pad by default, but it’s missing haptic feedback - there’s not enough of an indicator where on the touchpad your finger rests, and if you lose the central position, have fun finding it again without looking. i often tried it. but it’s simply inadequate as a D-pad.
I agree that not including the D-Pad was a bad move, but if you play games that use the d-pad just for functions like map or switching of equipment, there was the option to use the trackpad like a weapon wheel where you could define i think 8 functions with OSD, and using one of the back buttons made that 16 functions you could define freely - you could replace the hotkeys of a game that used half the keyboard with this thing lol
i’ll paste my vision for datasets and LLM here, not that i would live to see this:
Since GenAI-models and the datasets they are trained on resemble an interactive snapshot of human culture, I believe that the datasets should belong to an UN organization like UNESCO, corporations/NGOs/people should be able to license them to build their models (ev. with “community models” provided free for personal use), and the licence fees should be used to subsidize culture. This plus an UBI would make sure that artists don’t have to starve, corporations can use them to try to make a profit, and everyone else can use them to create for their own or their communities use. Artists that don’t want to go into the datasets have that right too, but also won’t have access to that financial pool (this shouldn’t be the only pool).
IP law in its current form is only a weapon for corporations to punish people, like when the RIAA sued small fish into bankruptcy for downloading a few shitty pop songs; they are also often used to dismantle privacy or push more surveillance, and i can’t defend those laws as they stand. Fuck copyrights.
