Anything people make, no mater how good, can and has been purchased to be turned to shit and controlled by those that purchase it.

GPL would like to have a word with you.

Yes, and stupid people are going to lap it up.

If it’s not federated then it’s not a good thing.

Oh goodie. Useful idiots need scumbags profiting off of their stupidity to get onboard.

Personally, I don’t think I’d want a free TV that perpetually pelts me with ads

Uhh, surely there must be a way to disable this once the TVs are in our hands.

I agree.

It’s fine if people want to get mad about it, but it’s more effective to just learn to live with it because it’s not going away.

We care more about this than we do about school shootings.

Weird Al gets it.

Cloudflare offers at-cost domain names. There’s a lot of issues with using them though. Since they’re so big, they have a culture of giving governments/oligarchs whatever they want.

There is Njalla, owned by someone involved with The Pirate Bay. It supposedly allows users to buy domain names privately, although I’m not sure at what cost. I’ve read users saying that Njalla will revoke domain names if pressured by outside forces, so they don’t seem like a good option similar to cloudflare.

The DNS is a tool of surveillance and control and we should move away from it as quickly as possible.

Can’t stop winning.

Federal investigators in Guam believed the devices held evidence that would help prove individuals handling the island’s Covid unemployment assistance program were part of a plot to steal funds.

Damn, they weren’t even doing this to go after pedos.

I’m curious where in the economic ladder this person fell. Rich enough to get a significant amount of money from the system, but still too poor to make the government look the other way.

Russia has never lied.

They also don’t punish people who tell the truth.

The billion-dollar company pays a lot of people to abuse its customers.

After getting into web development, I realize that no abusive tactic is an accident.

I’m slowly moving my accounts over from gmail to protonmail.

Privacy should be the default, not the exception.

Kinda crazy how this was all built on an ad empire.

Yeah. It’s a different story for people who ‘consume’ music like they consume other digital media.

Those folks always need something new shoved in their face, and streaming services are their go-to.

Nah. It was great and we should see more of it.

Stop being afraid to fight because your enemies might fight back.

We need to move away from the DNS as quickly as possible.

It’s just another tool of control.

It’s all about herding people by dictating the path of least resistance.
