- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 1 week ago:
Tbh, I never cared about it much, mine isn’t exactly a new account and I haven’t experienced what you describe very often. I mostly use lemmy via the voyager app and here I can’t even see what instance someone is on, unless I search for them specifically (or I’m too much of a noob and don’t know how). So if some people want to base their judgment on that, whatever.

It’s just the first instance I found when I signed up, I didn’t know anything about its reputation.

Money is not printed by the local government at all. Money is created by private banks through extending credit. And it shouldn’t be controlled by the government either, that’s a terrible idea.
I agree with the rest though.

Oh so you support grifting off the public domain? Maybe grow some balls instead of taking the status quo for granted.

Unfortunately, this partnership with OpenAI means they’ve sided with evil and I won’t spend a cent on their products anymore.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 month ago:
That sounds like total bullshit, according to that logic anything could be declared a military target and therefore nothing would fall under the Geneva convention. I think you’re talking out of your ass.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 month ago:
Has Israel officially declared war on Iran? Apart from that, why aren’t they protected by the Geneva convention?
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 month ago:
Since when is it legal to kill civilian scientists in another country?
- Comment on UK government withholding details of Palantir contract 2 months ago:
Great work they’re doing, hope they keep it up. Fucking cowards in the UK government… had they not left the EU, they would not have caved to the US as easily.

Indeed, as mentioned in the article.

What? You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. I recommend informing yourself before spewing nonsense.

I agree with the sentiment, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend F-Droid, see privsec.dev/posts/…/f-droid-security-issues/
- Comment on Marc Andreessen predicts one of the few jobs that may survive the rise of AI automation 2 months ago:
The problem is not people like him. The problem are newspapers publishing it as though it was important and people giving a shit about it as though he wasn’t a moron.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
The EU isn’t democratic. As opposed to national parliamentary democracies, the European parliament has barely any power compared to the commission which has no democratic legitimacy.
It’s as democratic as democratic gets on that scale.
That is also completely false. There are numerous proposals that would make the EU more democratic, but that’s obviously against the interest of the incumbent neoliberal elite.
- Comment on CVE Board members launch the CVE Foundation, a dedicated, non-profit to continue identifying vulnerabilities, after the US ended its contract with Mitre 3 months ago:
Lobbyists aren’t inherently bad. The problem is lack of transparency and controls. Without effective controls of course a corporation with millions to spend will always have the upper hand over some NGO that lobbies for the common good.
- Comment on Europe’s GDPR privacy law is headed for red tape bonfire within ‘weeks’ 3 months ago:
These cutbacks are completely stupid imho. The EU is undoing decades of good work by jumping on this dumb deregulation band wagon. I guess it was always run by a bunch of neoliberals…

VPS, I wouldn’t run a mail server from my home network. If you go with mailinabox you don’t need to set up a proxy, it’s pretty simple.

What more you should ask is precisely that it’s not owned privately. Otherwise, soon the next Elmo comes along and buys this one too.
