  That’s worrying…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In January, billionaires amassed more wealth than the poorest third of humanity owns.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Every year…

  I honestly don’t care anymore. What’s the point of getting outraged over this when we could be speding that time and energy into building guillotines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to use a VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s much more than that. Amazon’s strength is also in its proximity warehouses and contacts with delivery companies.

  Otherwise you just have a federated Ebay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You wish. It’s not gonna happen with these douchebags in power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They also block any content, even private messages that contain Bluesky for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is on the Wrong Side of History.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I ALREADY DO GOD DAMMIT! (Seriously I have pen pals. I write letters every year. I’m actually late and need to write them!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larry Ellison wants to put all America's data, including DNA, in one big Oracle system for AI to study⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, people in the U.S. have to start using that 2nd amendment and start eliminating the threats to their country. Like this guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is on the Wrong Side of History.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I just upgraded my subscription to Proton. (YES I KNOW ABOUT ALL THE DRAMA WITH THEIR CEO!!! AT LEAST THEY’RE NOT SELLING AI SERVICES TO MILITARY CONTRACTORS, DOING MASS SURVEILLANCE OR SELLING MY FUCKING DATA!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopify pulls Kanye’s website offline over swastika merch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What a way to honoer his mother’s name than to name his creative company after her and then associate all of this with nazism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no words, much feelings⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK i guess that settles it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no words, much feelings⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a Big Mac a few months ago last year. There’s nothing “big” about the Mac anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no words, much feelings⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me is the “Get the reefill app” part that gets me. Like why do you need an app for that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no words, much feelings⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah right, prove it lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that tinfoil hat comfortable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an uninformed statement.

  You get to pick your provider. So pick one that you trust.

  It’s FAR better than without as your ISP is probably selling your traffic to third parties or at least monitoring it. Some VPNs don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tor over VPN

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Use a VPN. Problem solved.

  This is a big load of bullshit. Techno fascists. Fuck em.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America's drinking water systems have a hard-to-swallow cybersecurity problem | More than 100M rely on gear rife with vulnerabilities, says EPA OIG⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First thing to do: disconnect them all from the Internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deleted my Reddit! I am now entirely federated online except for Pixelfed!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Congratulations. I deleted mine earlier this year and it’s been a blessing. The community I used to be a part of has become so toxic. I go check it out from time to time and I can see I made the right decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought you were going to say Gentoo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s true that were total sluts aren’t we?

  We’re never faithful to one distribution. Always hopping from one to the next until it doesn’t satisfy us no more.

  I normally don’t care when celebrities pass away. But I genuinely cried when Robin Williams died. And I’m still sad about it.

  Bro. How do you even cut a baobab tree???

  At most people have been cutting into the tree. Maybe you can search for “cut baobab tree”?
