I think I'll just call it decrimination, because it can happen to anyone regardless of who they are.. these extra words just makes matters unnecessarily confusing
🤣.. Theres no way people actually enjoy his content unless they're as silly as he is... and YouTube basically grabbed their algorithm and rigged it to put his channel on top of the platform ( alongside other channels ), the more subscribers and viewers the more ad revenue they'll receive..
Xiaomi has big issue with phone ownership, I think their new OS called HyperOS is step solely to make it as hard as possible to Unlock the bootloader..
It gets worse when you watch his interview with Tucker Carlson .. guy said if a government forces us to censor a group it'll only censored from the app you get from big tech play stores... That's horseshit... If you censor a group from your platform, it'll be removed from all people's feeds regardless of their clients or from where they got the app...
I've seen it firsthand how some channels are not available on telegram downloaded from app store vs direct apk download
the right word is "visible".. discoverability on Telegram has always being broken, as in you search for a channel, good luck finding it!.. like you said it's because of your phone number region.. Etc... that has been fixed when they introduced similar channels feature, since then I never used that broken search functionality.. But once you find and join a channel, if Telegram mods decided to censor some posts or remove the entire channel, it'll be removed from all clients... unless there is some client out there who saves snapshots of all channels or posts ( somehow )
A lot of the issues reported here, started showing up on my device after each OS update, but VLC didn't push any updates for over a year now... VLC is king, but what went wrong?...
So have been testing over the past few weeks and made accounts on: a) Hubzilla b) Friendica c) Mastodon d) Kbin e) Lemmy f) Iceshrimp g) Bonfire h) Peertube i) Funkwhale j) Pixelfed
I'm only interested in moving my friends away from Facebook, and have the same fun we used to have as a group, for now nothing seem to match FB functionality unfortunately..
Have your own profile
Public and Private Groups
1 to 1 chats
And of course no one would consider joining a platform without a ( feature complete ) mobile app, Firefish is amazing but it has no mobile clients that look as a good as the website, and people say Friendica is the ethical Facebook, but it's ugly..😅 i don't know what to recommend ?
Sorry, should have expressed myself better, sometimes you're not exactly speaking what you thinking .. I was referring to the mobile apps, Friendica main app looks horrible last time I checked
It stops working after a while ( days or weeks ), your receipents will stop receiving your messages, and you'll not receive theirs, or you'll receive them with a big delay, it happens more frequently with iOS users
most people have to go out of their way to start a secret chat, the user journey to activate it is too long, it's safe to consider it hidden...
Hi, I used to use Instander to browse Instagram privately but it doesn't seem to be updated anymore, is there an alternative that you recommend that has similar features? Like "ghost mode" when watching stories
used to use Instander to browse Instagram privately
That's far from true, if you installed it on your phone, it'll collect all the data that the official Instagram app collects... Does it give you the option to use an anonymous account ?
there's another project called Honista, but I quited Instagram years ago... So idk about it's features..
I'm kinda embrassed to say that I used to think "based" meant : "a person who's is a purist in terms of their tech tools choices.. Like they use Debian or Arch, and GNU/Linux Mobile.. Or ReplicantOS... like Only FSF approved software... A person who hates mass surveillance and wants to go off the grid.."
when I understood what it meant, I was disappointed 🙄
Just leave your phone at home, and bring a Digital camera, and few SD Cards ... Oh, wait.. < insert company name here > makes Cameras that spy on you... nevermind...
maybe we should hire a fast sketching artist to draw police brutality ... What.!... your pencil can track you now... come...ooooonnn

I'm probably going to downvoted to hell with this... But didn't people say Proton might be a government Op, even Tuta was mentioned as a honeypot in a recent Court case, so they released a blog post titled: Tuta is not a honeypot....
Idk... my guts tell me, if something is too good to be true, then it's not true... Proton offerings are amazing for a free plan... And their clients looks good and they sponsor YT channels... I used to be happy to see an Open source project succeed as a business, but the concept of honeypots, made me rethink my view
first of it's a comment not a response.. secondly, you quoted everything in wrong order to make it appealing to further ridicule, which brings me to my last but not least point, is that what you do? you find something ridiculous and get your dopamine kick by saying how ridiculous it is!
I quoted the bits that answer your question and which completely undermine the bits I didn't quote
Not what I asked, I don't see ridiculousness in my comment, so if you care to reply with feedback, please do, otherwise stop bothering me
You thinking it's a honeypot is a win for the government. All they need to do is spread some propaganda
Good point, but I didn't think of it that way just because, I saw things and read stuff that made me suspect it...
to run a service that is hard to keep alive. And if they were to run a honeypot
But they did, and it worked for them before, and it'll always work unless no one start using that service, so there's no point in keeping servers operational.. time for a rebrand. plus they're getting paid.
having it outside 14 eyes countries would be the most stupid decision the government could make.
having it outside the US ( if we're talking about the US ) maybe, but the 14 eyes... It's just s story at this point, even countries outside the 14 eyes spy on their citizens and make secret deals.. So..
Which one pops to mind first, even if it's not the most fucked up one you've come across?
what I remember for sure, is the general theme of these books ( made me really disgusted and depressed ) which.. is hatred..
alot of things that we consider wrong, you name it.. are normalized.. Not directly but they're presented in a certain way, that is justifiable...like.. say racism...homophobia.. Murder... Etc..
Edit : Of course, that's wrong no matter how they try to justify them..
Takes place in NYC, a story about Dr. Joseph Lister who works for the Mafia under a guy named Lucky Lusiano, so this Doctor guy works inside a building that looks like any normal building, but it's actually a secret club, for the Mafia.. And other shady people..
Inside that building there's a butchery ( or butcher shop ), where he inspects the human meat that will be served to the club members..
So one day he decides to get that story out, and he goes to the FBI..👀.. He spoke to the head of the FBI who told him to act normal and go to work the next day..
The next day he walks in to that building were he saw the FBI director standing next to Lucky Luciano, and his family on their knees... I'll let you guess what happens next
Tap for spoiler
🍖🥩🍗🍔🍟🌭🍲🍞
That's not the only fucked up part, a lot of restaurants, famous ones like McDonald are serving human meat, and people love it because it's actually delicious... The author claims..
From where they're getting this meat ? Homeless people... Again according to the author..
So this author views men as sex toys, like on the first page... aside from that there's something really interesting going on for this novel, she descibes her sexual experiences ( yuck I must tell you ), but she says she's doing it for "research purposes".. ( lol, i know ), like she quotes verses from the Hadith ( Hadith is any book that gathers and curates all of Prophets Mohamed's sayings and deeds, the two Major ones are Sahih Muslim & Sahih Bukhari ) and she tells us that she's having random sex with strangers to apply the stuff Prophet Mohammed did with his wives... her reasoning is: if we're going to take Prophet Mohammed as a roll model, we might as well .... include his sex life...( she triggered a lot of Muslims because of this, but I'll give this one another read to fact check some stuff despite how cringy it is )
published English translation
You'd be right, you guys don't even get the real translation of the Qur'an and Hadith... just a watered down version... peaceful and cheerful..
You did tell me what you think, and I appreciate your honesty, but I didn't criticize you.. like on a personal level if that's what you mean.. I didn't crtisize anyone on this thread on a personal level ( yet everyone seem to take their dislike for Russell Brand on me, which is sad to see ) because I asked a question about Russell Brand's take, not Russell Brand himself... Not the person but the reasoning of that person...
I didn't say tell me what you think of Russell Brand?, instead : tell me what do you think about Russell's opinion? Two very different requests..
I just spotted a flaw in your reasoning and notified you about it, it's Ok to be flawed in your reasoning it's part of being human, and I think Russell's take is very flawed that you could see few flaws from the first watch..
I could have phrased my replies better that's for sure, but I'm asking you to leave what you think of him out of your conclusion, because this was an interesting video to watch for me, and I think it could be fun for you to debunk some of the things he said... Not debunk him.. :) ( the later is what you did, or tried to do.. )
It's been fun talking to you, hope I didn't offend you when I said "you didn't add anything to the conversation" that was pretty condescending.. If I did then I apologize..
sans all the ads, dark patterns, and shitty business model.
To me it's enshitification because they grabbed Linux and KDE and added all the unethical spyware on top of it, EDGE browser comes to mind...which last I checked shares you data with 927 advertising companies.. Maybe it's a higher number now..
windows is actually a halfway decent os underneath all the enshittification crud.
even that I would argue is enshitified due to all the spying stuff they put into it.. Microsoft is real life E Corp
I use GrapheneOS ony phone and a Mac with the security options as optimized as possible. For most of my emailing etc, I use Tuta and Proton. There are instances however, where having a Google account is beneficial (some apps for example won't download from Aurora store in anonymous mode)....
people added "reversism" to things like descimination & racism just because it's harder for them to recognize it when it's the other way around
I think I'll just call it decrimination, because it can happen to anyone regardless of who they are.. these extra words just makes matters unnecessarily confusing
