They haven’t been on russias payroll for years.
They genuinely believe the shit they swill. By and large the paid agents were 5 to 10 years ago.

The current state American society has been in for the last 10 to 15 years is heavily a consequence of Russian info ops. Many countries run info ops. But no country has done as much damage as Russia
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
I was an intel guy most of my life, Intel on all the hand-me-downs I got from my grandfather’s appliance store, Intel on my first gaming PC in 2008 til 2012, Intel on the 2012-2019 PC, it wasn’t until I built my current PC in 2019 that I Switched because of the Meltdown / Spectre / Etc issues, largely just out of reputation not actually understanding them.
Sufficed to say, I left in 2019 and have had no reason to return.

That’s a really sharp observation…
You’re not alone in thinking this… No, youre not imagining things…“This is what gpt will say anytime you say anything thats remotely controversial to anyone”
And then it will turn around and vehemently argue against facts of real events that happened recentley . Like its perpetually 6 months behind. It still thought that Biden was president and Assad was still in power in syria the other day

rhetorical question, I know what she’s doing, clicking on random shit and then blaming other people for her problems.
every intrusive advertisement or popup. “I got hacked” every wrong website she goes to “this is a scam”

both of them shield, coddle, and enable a 53 year old man who is an overt Nazi and purge/mass death obsessed eugenicist freak, (my uncle), a lot more needs to be said to them honestly.

depending on your household’s browsing habits, it can be downright insane how much traffic goes through ones network (and the web at large), that is just nothing but dog shit.
I monitored my pihole at my place and my own traffic is usually no more than 15% garbage with about 750,000 domains blocked, but the second grandma or grandpa starts doomscrolling boomer things on their phones and ipads. I saw the network traffic at 60% blocked one time and I had to confront them and flatly ask them “what the fuck are you doing on your phone?”
also set up a Region exemption or whatever, blocking russian, chinese, and a whole bunch of other untrustworthy TLDs and im literally showing my grandmother the repeated attempts to communicate with something in fucking China in real time whilst she’s playing some solitare game she downloaded.

Not even a linux guy, but I had a Pi from a decade ago that I never opened, decided to set it up and use it for something useful, friends suggested Pihole. pained myself for 2 days getting everything working (most of my trouble had to do with peripherals and IP addresses not the device itself) but after the grief, got it working and it was well worth it.
I even printed a sticker for it that said “where ads go to die”
sorry doubleclick, but you’re toast
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 2 months ago:
I wasn’t dunking on the game, I only said I didnt play it, and otherwise, anything in the present that Krafton is associated with seems like something to avoid
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 2 months ago:
the creation in the game is advanced, its the gameplay inbetween the character creator and house designer that I find to be hollow
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 2 months ago:
I never cared for Subnautica I also never cared for PUBG
But what little I know about PUBG, What I’ve seen them do to Subnautica 2, and that lazy AI ridden “Sims killer” Inzoi, Im of the opinion Krafton are just hustlers.

You’re right, I Unintenitonally used a straw man argument. and what did you do, turn around and you used one right back, insenuiating that I think I get to decide who can reproduce.
give me a fucking break.

First mistake was assuming I was looking for respect from a comment section on the internet.

the countries that are panicking about birth control are also the countries that think they’re going to be at war in the next generation or two. And the demographic situation is already bad in the countries that aren’t already shooting.
Look at how bad things were before it started, and what 3 years of full scale war has done to Ukraine and Russia, they have more or less succeeded in signing each others death warrants as nations

Im sorry if it makes me an ecofascist, but that Trailer park welfare mom with 6 kids and 4 baby daddies is a problem. and there’s plenty of other cultures with a similar problem of having too many kids and not being able to provide for any of them.

- Comment on I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US) 3 months ago:
Chavs and yobs would actively fight with rednecks.
Worst of the British urban population and worst of the American rural population. They wouldn’t xo exist

Chavs. As in the Burberry hat meme?
Or the versions without the hats. Who are apparentley just called Yobs?

No, they dont,
just like how the US doesn’t want the dumbshit “my way or the highway” western canadian separatists.immigration is difficult, you’ve got to be extremely rich, smart and highly skilled in a marketable and demanded field, or lucky.

- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 4 months ago:
Im not upgrading my OS, and im not building or buying a new computer.
Im just going to ride it out until it explodes. the tech market is so messed up right now that I’ll end up paying more than what I did for my Machine in 2019, and it will be comparatvely, nowhere near as much as a performance jump as when I made the last switch from my 2012 build.

There’s been a mod that adds motorcycles and ATVs too but it’s clunky. I haven’t bothered to test the new versions but it used to be that you could only get on and off the bike from one side

a bicycle mod literally just came out a week or so ago
- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 4 months ago:
this is like, totally out of left field.
but if you want to live out the whole apocalypse scavenger, doomsday prepper fantasy. Project Zomboid and its mods are a great game for that.
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 4 months ago:
I’ve tried so many methods that ended in failure, I just gave up and learned to live without
different devices, AFAIK my work PC, personal desktop and both my old and new phone are probably comprmised somehow
tried using incognito mode, different browsers, coupled with different emails. even caved and tried a VPN,
always ended the same way. Make the account, and it gets shadowbanned as soon as I post. Even tried posting in completely different subs instead of the usual suspects.
until I commit to getting a burner laptop or some other device, they got me . I just dont care enough to go that extra step, its fucken reddit. the only thing reddit is good for is niche interest communities, hobbies, etc. the usual swill with News Politics and Sports is just blood pressure raising brainrot
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 4 months ago:
I tried something similar and even waited not hours but months before I even attempted to log in. My account would be fine but the moment I post I get shadowbanned.
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 4 months ago:
that part of my statement wasnt based in anything I know for certain, I see it mentioned a lot, I know they’re doing something with algorithms that auto-ban suspected accounts,
I wouldnt put it past them however. while I think my phone is comprimised anyway and unsuitable for going back to Reddit, I know that one way to get hardware id’d for good. is by installing that stupid reddit app, which I wont do ever
