This is what we’re dealing with here in the States, folks.

Gawd help us.

Republicans use rape language so casually, they make me want to puke.

Honestly guys, they’re just scared little babies who really want to do the right thing, but are afwaid of the mean Orange Daddy!

Stfu douchebag

I honestly have no idea lol.

You’re the second person to call out my narc ass.

Fine, he lost twenty bucks then, Im thrilled.

I hope the anxiety causes him to smoke his entire ketamine stash in one sitting.

Just keep in mind, “it’s called the Fediverse because it’s crawling with Feds.”

Don’t get stupid.

I left all my comments up. I decided it’s fine.

🥲

“Gotta get in there & scoop up grandma’s retirement funds while they’re cheap!”

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder that self propelled compost sludge, Pete Hagseth, who was approved by the Republican Congress to serve as head of the DOJ, has multiple white Supremacists tattoos.

What you’re talking about is if AI is actually inventing new work (imo, yes it is), but that’s not the issue.

The issue is these models were trained on our collective knowledge & culture without permission, then sold back to us.

Unless they use only proprietary & public training data, every single one of these models should be open sourced/weighted & free for anyone to use, like libraries.

Thx, that’s exactly my concern as I remember it being an issue when I was flashing ROMs in the past.

I wonder if Square would still work, for example? I haven’t flashed open source ROMs on my phone since like 2012.

Honestly though, I just consider the phone a lost cause when it comes to privacy & use it accordingly. Uncle Googs is always watching, even when the damn thing is turned off.

Mullvad is really for anonymous sessions. It’s meant to blend in with every other Mullvad instance on the Net so it helps make users harder to identify. It’s not geared towards daily use.

On desktop, I switched to Librewolf and installed the Dark Reader add-on.

I will continue using Firefox on Android because I have absolutely no illusions about my privacy on this fucking thing.

Didn’t they also elude to collecting telemetry recently? I know it’s up for some debate but, if true, I’m not sure that’s a thing we can turn off.

I have a theory that this is intentional design.

When products perform smoothly, you don’t interact with them, they become invisible, & Uncle Googs needs you interacting with their products as much as possible.

Thanks to telemetry, Good Ol’ Uncle Googs has millions of hours of behavioral patterns to sift through, provided by all those free Chromebooks for school districts across the US.

So Google know exactly what gets folks engaging with their phones &, I believe, intentionally cause frustration over seemingly simple tasks b/c many many people will forget what they were doing, fix the issue, then get distracted by entertainment apps, doom scrolling, etc.

Dark patterns & behavioral manipulation.

Sorry, wasn’t trying to agitate, just spewing on the Net.

The amount of censorship taking place on that platform every day lately is kind of staggering.

The Walled Garden is actually the problem, then.
