Dunno, we’ve never seen anything go wrong with the Soviet system of representation before have we?

also making some really shitty decisions or holding some god-awful positions

You have been banned from Lemmy.ml

I mean. They’re torpedoing that open source project’s chances for growth because of their ideology. It’s pretty sucky.

I agree with the rest of your statement regarding the development of Lemmy.

It’s because the devs suck

The “provided devices” is the important part of that sentence

My company exclusively deploys machines with physical coverings for the camera and hardware disconnects for the mics.

I agree on that point, nobody has the right to any information about me except for exactly what I choose for them to know. Speaking from an IT professional standpoint, if I deploy a device, I absolutely have the right to know anything that happens on that device. You have to from a security perspective.

That’s why I don’t use any social media on my work laptop. Ideally that’s why social media is blocked on work machines so it’s a non-issue. Kids should understand that concept early, you do have a right to privacy but you also don’t control that device.

We just fundamentally disagree on what rights someone is afforded on a company provided devices. They can’t opt out because obviously not, you don’t get to just opt out of information security policies.

It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.

Sooo schools should just provide devices to kids with no monitoring at all?

There shouldn’t be an expectation of privacy on school/company provided devices, that isn’t how it works literally anywhere. It’s on the parents to teach their children not to use the device for personal reasons.

Ideally the school machines should be limited to only allowing coursework and limited messaging between classmates and teachers, it’s a tool not a toy.

Idk I just can’t get upset about this. Kids and privacy is kind of a tough one to begin with, I personally think kids shouldn’t have unregulated access to communication devices at all until like 14-15, maybe.

Don’t put personal shit on work devices. This is pretty basic.

Strictly speaking they are leftist, just extreme in a lot of ways. it’s the authoritarian aspect of it that I dislike.

And yaknow, I wouldn’t even mind being viewed that way. It’s the shitty moderation style I will mock endlessly.

He also pretty much said as much during his initial ramblings during the invasion- that ukraine and other former Soviet states are rightfully a part of Russia.

…yeeeaahhh….

Anarchists only exist to the degree their privilege allows them to feel like they have no need for any sort of authority.

I’m sure there are some there though, as long and they bring the right flavor of kool aid

They’re leftists. Like actual leftists, some of whom subscribe to the idea that capitalism can only be overcome through violence.

There’s a lot of “well if it’s our authoritarian it’s ok”

My real beef with them is the same as my beef with .Ml and Lemmygrad, little baby mods and admins that hit you with the instance wide ban for disagreeing with their opinions

More egregious is getting banned for pointing out the admins suck

I mean, rebuilding the USSR is Putins historical justification for invading ukraine. It was a part of his whole rambling speech in the beginning.

And he was banned for saying that? Pft.

The irony of being banned for being a “debatebro” in fucking hexbear of all places, where “debatebro” is just the zeitgeist.

Call it what it is, he like most others was banned for having differing beliefs than the chosen narrative there.

”Millions of students across the country don’t have to imagine this deep surveillance of their most private communications: it’s a reality that comes with their school districts’ decision to install AI-powered monitoring software such as Gaggle and GoGuardian on students’ school-issued machines and accounts”

So the big issue with this is that they shouldn’t have private communications on their school laptops anyway. It’s the exact same thing with companies not wanting you to use their provided devices for personal reasons.

They own the device, you’re borrowing it, assume it’s compromised on every level and keep any communication that matters on your own devices.

Are you intellectually capable of seeing literally anything without complaining about Zionists? Like, anything at all? Every single comment you post is the same shit, we get it, be quiet.
