causing? no
hugely enabling any slight tendencies? no doubt

presumably a liability thing, don’t want to be nuked for slander

you do you but i’d totally be down for a sugar mommy who i greet with fresh cooked dinner every day

i just wanna fucking be able to give people i meet $20 if i feel they need it, and not have to even think about how it affect my ability to buy food

i like how you make this sound like users are the ones at fault for not liking shitty things, how about mozilla tries earning money without making the world worse?

because it’s not true, them being smug is a tiny fraction of what’s wrong with them, and pretending that it’s worth noting is disingenous.

ah yes i’m sure it has nothing to do with the dems being completely fucking useless, no it’s definitely just them being smug…

all language learning is just down to exposure and repetition, so just consume as much french media as you can and get some flashcard app to memorize vocabulary.

oh sure it’s great until it confidently hallucinates something completely insane and you have no way of realizing it’s gone off the rails

for this reason translations are probably the last thing generative AI should be used for, at least when it’s done in a language you speak you can double check it.

i will never understand what people hope to accomplish with these licenses, when even the fucking GPL isn’t particularly reliable.

a license is only useful if it can actually be enforced and people are willing to interact with it, if a license isn’t robustly worded and thought out or it’s simply not backed by a trusted group, it’s basically entirely pointless.

I maintain that the GPL is the best license purely because it has the FSF behind it and it has been used since time immemorial, it’s one of few open source licenses that has seen repeated stress testing in courts and stood up to it.

i don’t. Come arrest me, officer >:3

but also proof of stake is just taking off the mask and outright saying that rich people control the network

mfers just open their zipper and start pissing, being dumbfounded at how this results in them pissing their pants

i feel like this just keeps happening in the open source space, people go “Oh this is bloat, get rid of the bloat” and ardently insist that actually it’s better to use a bare TTY, despite that just… obviously being hilariously dumb?

i love that bluesky just keeps getting away with it like this
“oh well they said people can run their own instances, so that must be true!”
nope, you just can’t run a bluesky instance, can we please recognize this fact and stop giving the massive corporation the benefit of the doubt?

android with lineage on it, and configure things to limit what they can do with it.

you can get pretty close to the best of both worlds, letting them have navigation tools and whatnot while also simply not having the google play store available on the phone at all, and exposing them to a very minimal amount of data harvesting from the tech companies.

can you define “left-leaning bias”? because many people say that and actually mean “doesn’t arbitrarily go ‘both sides!’ every time an issue is brought up”

it’s not “left-leaning bias” to recognize the state of the world and the solutions to it, that’s just being sane and not-evil.

what also helps a lot is not using sites like temu and amazon

What’s been working for me so far is just hard reloading the page, after that it seems to forget all about it so long as i’m on the same tab, though it also works just fine to keep making new tabs and hard reloading every time.

the vast majority of my feed is really good and i have a bigass pile of subscriptions to channels i want to watch basically every video from because they’re really good

learn to tell the algorithm to fuck off and serve you better things, don’t just blithely slurp up whatever it feeds you.
