Taara is Google, just saying.

Thanks Microsoft for admitting that Wimdows sucks. You didn’t even try really.

Maybe they should also ban lobbying by Google, Microsoft etc.

Let’s poke the bubble.

Does anybody care about people in Yemen? Such a fuzz about a stupid group chat while the big story could also be the airstrike and murder of people. What happened in Yemen?

In thie fesiverse graphic each person has exactly 1 connection to a fediverse thing. But in reality, there can be more. I guess in practice there are often more than one.

That’s me most of the time. Does it mean I’m ADHD?

GNU Taler seems to be a good thing to look into. Not a crypto currency but a payment system which preserves anonymity of the buyer.

Always have some chewing gum ready. (I would advise for cyanoacrylate but that’s illegal in some places because you could use it to stick yourself to the road as a form of protest)

It seems a scary move but at some point you have to do what is right and not what is easy.

Please panic. There’s Librewolf. A deshittified Firefox fork. Would be great to support that project.

How about another type of control: by default your profile is not federated. Then you manually select the instances you trust. And your data getcs shared only with those. Dating usually is kind of local anyway. If i live in australiay I’m likely not interested in matches from the UK. So instances could already serve as some pre-selection based on your region and possibly community type.

My last impression was that alovoa would need a lot of work still. It’s also the best thing I’ve seen so far but it’s very buggy unfortunately.

How about doing some fine-grained control mechanism: you share little data publicly, then once somebody likes you, you can decide to share more with them. With some cryptography tricks should be possible to share this information only with the other person and not with their home servers.

I bet that what we see here is partly the work of the worlds largest propaganda machine. I’d like to believe that misinformation was the reason for them supporting Trump. So yes, properly informing people could help. But I’m worried that the Trumpian shit-show clogged some brains. What to believe in a world made of “fake news”?

I simply wonder what’s happening and expressing my frustration.

No question - it’s good he is mobilizing people. Organization is key, and to me it looks like it’s currently lacking. I really hope Sanders can change this.

It has been damn obvious and yet way too many people voted Trump. And, come on, it was clear Elon would be there as well. From outside the US it’s hard to understand why. It leaves me with two explanations, both of which I don’t like: either people were misinformed and/or did not understand what is going on, or they did really want it.

Maybe you can help me understand.

Wasn’t that obvious at very latest 4 years ago?

Like it was not a risk before. People just didn’t want to see the obvious.

Maybe now would be the right time to lobby this organization. The impact of Twitter may have brought us Trump and all the destruction which will follow. We can’t affort this once more.

A pity they go again for the same type of platform. It’s just a matter of time until the profit maximization monster strikes there too :/
