Would rather talk to myself, it’s saner.

Been there, left that, they have no redeeming qualities.

odysee looks just like youtube now, and not in a good way, I will have to look further into it again though

“middle school” is ironic given the post title

It wasn’t a deflective joke, although there is a definitely a joke within it. Some people are just obvious and pointless, so why bother.

Privacy should be a given, most people can’t vote for shit though.

You are ai Bill

firefox also crossed lines, were called out for it and backpeddled somewhat, they can easily update to trash again any time they choose. I’m not sure to what level the forks are exempt from any changes.

Point being, for the most part when it comes to tech, we have limited options.

I already use linux, and lineageos without any google apps, I also use a vpn, expecting at any time at least one of those will also become non-viable, but not knowing what they will be replaced with, if anything.

It’s always a full moon somewhere on the internet.

“is ai” is very obviously a simplification, but is also the reality of where they have chosen to go.

The manner in which debian conducted their transition, says a great deal about them.

You were not going to give me the benefit of the doubt, don’t expect anyone who is genuine to believe otherwise. The subject of ai is mainly polar. the majority of people on lemmy are not experiencing their 1st day on the internet.

You really very clearly did not understand that, but please fell free to pretend that you have won the internet, and don’t y’all forget to pick up your free fries.

Probably something for me to look into again soon, maybe

These days it seems like we are chasing our tails with all of this anti privacy bullshit, it is stupidly time consuming, and everything has to be treated as temporary anyway, just waiting for it also to become bullshit.

Happy, happy, joy, joy

Go back to the beginning and understand the thread is about Australia, and that Anthony Albanese is the Australian prime minister, the leader of the government that introduced a ban on under 16 social media access, and wants ID for all online usage.

I subscribe to very few channels these days anyway, but it does come in handy from time to time to look things up. Yet to find a decent replacement for yt.

I have looked at other video sites in the past and never found one that ticks the boxes, things change though, and there really does need to be other options.

I’m using pipepipe on my phone, it’s okay for what it does, I would rather be signed in to like and comment, but I’m not doing ID crap for that.

That was the point, the post is about how it is in Australia “AU”

My mistake, hello donald trump

more like urine with urine

The wall is for the rest of the world, the usa had its chance to be decent and chose to be the exact opposite for many decades. Now even with something as revolting as trump, the people still show no sign at all of ever waking up and being decent.

complain about things being shit and then use chatgpt, well done champ.
