NON·SERVIAM
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American.
Sorry but the only that comes to mind is this:
Browser, I guess? Without one you’d be back to early 1990s home computing.
Sure, but there are those who say Moraes is overstepping with his demands. Quite frankly I don’t know what to say, all I know is that any loss for Musk is a win for me.
🤷♂️
Elon is trying to enforce his views over Brazil’s law. To force a crisis IMHO.
He’s trying to see how far he can push his bullshit.
There is, the “Marco Civil da Internet” states that a business that works in Brazil needs to respect Brazil’s law, and non compliance may trigger block in it’s service by ruling.
That’s the thing though, to my knowledge Twitter didn’t break any laws, they ignored an order to take down accounts from their website. You could make the argument that in ignoring that order they were going against the law, but that’s about it. And honestly, that’s not the first time that has happened, this time they just decided to block Twitter because Musk was being a little shit about it, again maybe this will serve as a precedent in the future.
Libertarianism is a right-wing ideology though, it’s pro corporate deregulation and lasseiz-faire capitalism. If you’re pro individual freedom, but opposed to right-wing ideas then the closest thing you can be is an Anarchist.
Ok, but there isn’t anything in the Brazilian body of law that says social media needs to have legal representation in the country to be functional, otherwise TikTok, Reddit and even Lemmy would’ve been blocked long ago, that’s the argument being made. That said, nothing like this has ever happened before, so maybe this could serve as a precedent for a new series of legislations.
Honestly, I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, that’s the government reaching waaaay beyond what it should without any real laws to back it up, on the other hand, fuck Musk and if this is what it takes to keep gullible people off nazifascist misinformation and propaganda then 🤷♂️.
Pains me to no end that the only somewhat decent local RSS reader available for desktop nowadays is Thunderbird. All I want is a simple, no-frills attached local RSS reader that doesn’t make me run a whole server service just to fetch a feed.
Pile of shit is putting it lightly. At least it had some cool fire effects for its time.
Disregarding the absolutely unplayable and broken, I think it’s a toss up between the 2008 Alone in the Dark or Final Fantasy 15. I’m more inclined towards the latter because I haven’t played the former since release. It’s just a godawful RPG, if you can even call it that, the game basically plays itself, has no depth whatsoever, the open-world is meaningless and empty of anything interesting. Not to mention the story is both dogshit and a confusing mess nonsensically split between different DLCs, movies and god knows what else. Definitely the worst big budget RPG (again, if you can even call it that) I’ve played so far, it’s borderline insulting. The worst of it all? It was my first Final Fantasy and it was so bad it killed any interest I had in the series.
You jest but:
Absolutely… Will Disney likely sue you into oblivion? Most likely.
Thunder is by far the best FOSS app for lemmy, it’s like a lite Sync without all the ads bullshit.
I have not observed that people on lemmy are overall more intelligent than people on reddit.
Because it’s literally the same userbase, 99% of people here came from Reddit for one reason or another. It’s a fact that any community that grows too mainstream starts to decline in quality, so if you think Lemmy already has too much garbage you really don’t want it to become mainstream. Proportionally we have way less spam, astroturfing and just idiotic bullshit being posted outside of meme subs here, attracting more users would make all of these things more prevalent and no amount of decentralization would solve that unless people started to mass defederate, but at that point why even bother with activitypub in the first place. It’s kind of like the people in Beehaw that not only chose this platform but also want to federate with other instances but they’re constantly crying and complaining about other instances, threatening to leave the platform… Like, why even bother with activitypub?
Jesus Christ… Sometimes I think that maybe having restrictions on what you can name your child is actually a good idea.
The names, the Karen haircut, the shirts…
Chef’s kiss, all that was left were some MAGA hats, maybe a confederate flag.
The problems would only get exacerbated if more of them migrate over here, that’s the issue. I don’t think decentralization would solve the issues that’d come with people mass redditposting and shitting all over the place, especially considering the vast majority of users are in lemmy.world, so what good would that do when the majority of the userbase are centralized in a single instance?
I think it’s history, particularly ancient is fascinating.
