So the evil mega corp gets a free pass while the Internet Archive regularly has to fight for open access to knowledge. Fuck that and fuck Meta.

Microsoft is an abusive ex. It will keep abusing you because it knows no other way. You can waste your days trying to fight against it, trying to figure out how to disable and remove whatever new privacy invasive anti-consumer bloat Microsoft decides to roll out that Tuesday.

Or you can leave and switch to Linux and waste time there instead. Tux is all about that respect and is handsome to boot. He might be a bit sensitive and break down rarely so you might need to spare a few to make sure he’s ok, but it’s nothing a little love can’t handle. And he’s only going to get better and stronger as he grows. You might even look forward to receiving updates (wow, I know). A stark contrast from your abusive ex.

So… Mastodon integration instead I hope?

The Ad Algorithm

It knows when you are sleeping It knows when you’re awake It knows when you’ve been bad or good So consume for goodness sake

Fuck this.

He’s not even the FCC chairman anymore but this news still makes me want to punch Ajit Pai in the face.

I hate that Pixelfed isn’t good enough to capture these users and I say this as someone who uses it over Instagram.

From the what I’ve seen (and I have been watching fairly closely), I think Pixelfed and the stretched-too-thin-can’t-prioritize-and-somewhat-monarchial dev himself might just need more time to cook. I still have hope in him and his projects but I won’t be holding my breath again. If good shit happens, it happens. And I do hope it happens because it should’ve been Pixelfed in this article like Mastodon was with Twitter or Lemmy with Reddit. Not whatever this new corp that came out of nowhere is.

I choose to privately self-host open source AI models and stuff on Linux. It’s almost like technology is a tool and corps are the ones fucking things up. Hmmm, imagine that.

If consent mattered, governments and corporations all around the world wouldn’t be pushing to expand the global surveillance apparatus.

Is this just another Tuesday now? Fuck me.

CorpOS

I’m out of the loop. What is Roblox actually?

It will also come with an open source “For You” algorithm. I’ve been wishing the fediverse do this since I joined and it took literally banning TikTok for it to happen in the span of a few months by dansup for Loops, who thankfully has a favorable outlook on the use of algorithms on the fediverse.

Maybe unpopular opinion but I like connected stuff. I like what you can do with modern tech. I think it’s cool to have a coffee maker or something hooked up to Home Assistant so you can start a brew from your phone when you wake up.

What I don’t like is when I can’t control the tech. The only way I’d ever allow smart appliances is if the data never left my network and I took reasonable steps to ensure the IOT devices are isolated and secured.

Yo ho ho and two bottles of rum for you 🏴‍☠️

Some enshittified Lemmy alternative run by a megalomaniac who sucks Elon’s dick behind Wendy’s dumpsters and milks his userbase (but not in the fun way)

They always knew. When the time comes they’ll force everything back with even more bloatware and even less freedom to choose because that’s the corpo way. This is just another long-term power grab.

SMS is IE, Whatsapp is Chrome, and Signal is Firefox. Use Signal/Firefox.

My consideration was off the table after Facebook bought Oculus.
