Yes, indeed, socialism is an offshoot of capitalism/liberalism (not neoliberalism) that emerged with the industrial revolution and predates Marxism, but communism coopted the term and made it exclusively authoritarian.
- Comment on Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest 3 days ago:
Yes, but that is no reason to disparage socialism itself. In authoritarian socialism, it is the authoritarian part that sucks.
- Comment on Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest 3 days ago:
Democratic market socialism is a perfectly moderate ideology. You can also consider weekends, paid leave, women’s vote as socialist policies. It is one of the main political currents founding the EU and South America. Only in the US is it used to describe radicals or as a swearword.

Well, this is where specific targetted protectionist policies can work, provided they are used to buy time to catch up, to differentiate and for RnD and not just to bury your head in the sand and keep making expensive shit products.

Unless it is used to pretend that it is a real video and circulated for denigration or blackmail, it is very much not at all like assault. And also, deepfakes do not have the special features hidden under your clothes, so it is possible to debunk those if you really have to.

Or pasting someone’s photo over a naked body…in their minds…

- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 4 weeks ago:
If everyone gets tested yearly until they die, this could cost as much as most cancer treatments and suffering combined and it would probably still be better for everyone if nobody has to go through that anymore.

- Comment on The current system of online advertising has been ruled illegal 4 weeks ago:
But isn’t most of that client-side processing? Can’t I request a vanilla generic page and once it is in my browser to process it to shape it into the window size and extensions I want? Even if it is an adblocker: serve me the ad, I’ll block it internally. But I suppose that for dynamic pages with js requests this would become hard to do.

But why unusable, why does a browser have to leak language, window size, time, extensions? Can’t those be spoofed?
- Comment on How Social Media Brings Out the Worst in Us 4 weeks ago:
What I’ve learned over time is that it brings out the worst in us, because unlike a live meeting, where there is a danger that you may be ostracized or beaten up, online people have a much less controlled environment for speech.
And since the user isn’t forced to pass a driving exam for how to behave and different communities have different rules, values and objectives, it is easy to feel a contrast without traveling very far, which triggers polarization rather than an instinct to adapt and grow.

What is so special about piefed? I see a few communities moving there. The interface looks different from the original lemmy flavours.

Next we’re going to have an epic debate on whether work done by the system is positive or negative and we’re all going to feel really smart and passionate about it. Like one of those Science vs Religion debate clubs.

Probably the same as North Korea, with the amount of money laundering, ransomware and scams they do.
