Colonialism has never been a cospiration: it has always been done in plain sight.
Also it could not be a successful cospiracy if it had to coordinate millions of people.
No, it's not a cospiracy.
It's just people influences by US synthetic culture over the world being clever by doing... US things.
OR maybe I'm too european to understand the deep meaning of shitposting, after all. 😇
No.
I'm arguing they are mindlessy polluting the global noosphere because they can (slow language barrier). And they can do so mindlessy because they are an imperialist nation.
In fact I think shitposting is a US colonial tool.
It's not joking, it's not sarcasm or irony... it's not even meant to attract attention or to produce a feedback.
It's shitting into the global noosphere, just like many company pollute the biosphere.
A very US thing, indeed.

Karrot is a free open source platform for sharing real life resources (for example excess food, to prevent it going to waste).
You can follow the project at:
➡️ @karrot
The main instance is at https://karrot.world
You can find the source code at https://github.com/yunity
(The emphasis is on food, but the platform can be used to share anything.)

A #RISCV 64-bit CPU core licensed under #gpl3 that can actually boot #Linux
#openhardware is getting more feasible even to the core!

TL;DR Pubblicato da pochi giorni uno studio che analizza il traffico generato dagli smartphone con il sistema operativo #Android. Lo studio evidenzia come molte versioni siano state progettate per inviare al produttore informazioni sulle attività compiute dall’utente, dalle app installate all’uso dello smartphone stesso, con importanti ripercussioni sulla #privacy e sulla riservatezza. E no, l’utente, non può disattivare queste "feature"

Chiedere risarcimenti per #pirateria senza prove è facile per legali senza scrupoli, perché fa leva sulla paura e il senso di colpa degli utenti.
Ma quando l'utente chiede le prove delle accuse...

#LinkedIn l'ultima grande compagnia tech USA in #Cina lascia il paese pur essendosi finora sempre attenuta alle stringenti regole di Pechino. L’azienda di #Microsoft era stata costretta a chiudere i profili di alcuni giornalisti e attivisti che hanno osato condividere "materiale proibito".

Acer hacked (for the second time this year)

Confondete liberisti e liberali.
Ai liberisti non frega niente della privacy, ma solo del profitto.
Ai liberali non frega niente del profitto, ma solo della libertà (e dunque della privacy).
Confondendoli elogiate i primi ed insultate i secondi.
Ed il fatto che i secondi siano ormai estinti non è una buona scusa.

Sostanzialmente sostieni che non ci sono alternative ai #GAFAM (browser, chat etc...)
O che le alternative in realtà possono essere persino peggiori (RedFlag Linux, allusioni ai finanziatori occulti delle alternative a WhatsApp etc...)
Inoltre escludi lo stato/UE come possibile finanziatore alternativo perché lo stato è cattivo, le aziende private no (ILVA? Eternit? Delle malefatte di Google e Facebook si potrebbe parlare per giorni!)
Insomma se io fossi Schmidt sarei fiero del lavoro svolto con te! 😉

I am sick and tired of constantly reviewing settings in web browsers to see if they have snuck in some new tracking mechanism that I get to disable because "your privacy is important to us".
I am sick and tired of all the black UX that goes into this, like opt out instead of opt in, or at least providing top level choices like, say, Fuck NO I'd NEVER EVER Like You To Track ANYTHING Now And In Every Perceivable Future. Like sync'ing every setting in your profile except tracking related settings, because hey that way you might by mistake opt out of tracking on another installation where you really wanted to be tracked. The list goes on and on.
Browsers are critical infrastructure and clearly an open source stamp on them fails in itself to provide any meaningful shield towards capitalist subversion.
I'd like a browser with a license that explicitly rules out *any* kind of commercial entity or interest contributing or directing development.
Totally agree.
But for a point: we are NOT powerless.
On the contrary, we are very VERY powerful, we just need to open our minds to our tools of trade.
Take bugs.
Intelligence injects vulnerabilities though bugs since ever and they've always had plausible deniability.
We can do the same.
The stacks we are forced to use are so complex and messy that nobody can tell an optimization from a malicious bug designed to maximize the damage to the capital in some rare use case.
USA Intelligence does this since decades, so it can't be evil, right?
