Yes. “That isn’t exactly free” indeed.

We give power to greed and it has corrupted our institutions. We differentiate far to little between personal ownership (to maintain and survive) and private ownership (to profit and expand) when it comes to taxes.

Any system where people will die from lack of resources should be abolished.

Would it be that shocking if they had bots here?

You mean analog cables like those shown in the picture?

Only (consumer) digital audio cable i own is a usb headset and apparently gold plated usb is so stupid there not even trying to sell those.

I am not convinced that the meme author didn’t know what they where doing and this is ragebait though.

I’m used to hanging around on !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz if that says something.

I am really sorry i pissed you all of, i just recently switched on a whim while i was gething super into being a windows poweruser and i swear i have nothing but love <3 i saw a really cool hyper-land interface, it was fast, beuatifull. i dig that. I installed it and i except for work i only used windows as a virtual dekstop 3 times in the month i am doing it.

Ok, Guys i am sorry. I actually was looking for a different meme witch more a hech yeah attidyde but then i stumbled onto this template i thought it be hillarious. I sort of made the switch recently and i learned a lot. I don’t wanna go back.

For audio these do make some sense… for any others like hdmi though…

And here i though “pretty epic” seems rather weird to me. I’ll have to check on desktop later.

You should probably add a link. I already know this happend but it still reads like a joke.

Truly the weirdest timeline.

In general thats an exaggeration but depending on the job, tasks and especially how much your coworkers understand your task.

I am adhd+autism and there are days where I completel 80% in the first hour before everyone else arrives and its nice and quite and i am still caffeinated. Then i struggle the remainer of the day to finnish

The supposed logic here is that the human genes that liked the taste of some toxic plants died out.

It can help in a survival pinch to weed out your options but I wouldn’t rely on it as a guaranteed truth.

I cannot disagree. At first i was worried about how good lemmy could possibly be with just a fraction of the reddit user base. Nowadays i feel like we got to many people already. Centralized under only a few instances no less.

WHAT? A nuanced personal opinion??? not fitting within either political extremes?? This is Outrageous!!! Not on my internet! /s

Direct copypasta from the wiki posted below:

In April 2019, a Twitter post by Pyle from 2017 resurfaced regarding the pro-life rally March For Life. According to some reporters, Pyle’s tweet expressed support for, or defended, March For Life. The tweet caused many fans to turn against Strange Planet and its creator, in a controversy described by at least one outlet as an example of the Milkshake Duck phenomenon.[23][24][25]

Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife “have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing.” He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were “troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it.”[25][26][27]

In 2022, he posted to social media in support of Bernie Sanders’ tweet in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which called the decision “an outrage” and supported codifying Roe into law.[28]

I am very pro abortion btw, my non relgious my best friend once described it as “a delicate matter balancing the autonomy of people over their own bodies versus the potential intentional death of a developing life forms. “

He has a complex nuanced personal not fitting within either political extremes? Outrageous, not on my internet!

At some point meta tried purchasing anonymized patient data from hospitals.

We are also discovering there are many subtle way to identify a person, like grammar, spelling speech patterns (tor specifically warns against this).

Chances are high they already have some data on you, all they need is enough subtle unique things in your data to rule out anyone else. Based on the times your most active and references you might make.

Now i am not a zuck owned superai but to give you my human attempt for an initial culling:

A social security number is the name of the American name of such number. Purposely sounding American is a strategy on itself for non Americans but the act of trying to hide your identity by pretending to be from the us can be an identifier as-well. You also seem to be more on the political left so your your likely part one of 160 mil people (for convenience i am assuming a 50% split in left/right ideology in the us)

In most countries your isp have some of your personal details your isp is also able to see all the internet domains you visit. They cant see what you do on them but because every instance has its own domain they have a timestamped list of all federated instances you visit.

It only takes that info to be leaked/hacked or sold for the big corps to obtain it. Of course if you use a vpn your isp cant see the domain but if you do have a vpn congratulations cause its yet another identifier and they too can be hacked or be selling this data.

The best way and only (still not guaranteed) way to remain anonymous is by using tor browser in windowed mode. Refraining from interacting and if you post to run your speech trough an ai algorithm to generalize/neutralize any personality from it.

As a lemmy user i can click your name and scroll trough a list of all posts and comments you have made. Thats your data and its currently free for the taking to any corporation.

Eventually instances may develop ways to protect their users from this for example make posts only visible to verified human members that are members of a community. Now imagine a user joining such community from the meta threads apps. It wouldn’t be beneath them to fulltime record the app screen and ocr all the text the user sees.

Pros: millions of users can interact with your instance

Cons: This is a super blatant attempt to consume all data. They have been doing this for years. “Log in with facebook” They see the value of the fediverse and aim to become the mainstream place for new accounts. Those users can then interact with any kind off community they want. Meta is not responsible for content on other instances. But they are harvesting all of it trough millions of clueless spies.

Time to implement a new checkbox “remember the state of the remember me checkbox”

Jokes aside this probably requires injecting some code or script into the webpage. Maybe theres a browser extension that can do this.

Lolwhat on that last line. Such a loophole.

Yeah me to. The internet is full of ads and porn as it is. What is the big deal about seeing them together?
