Because it is also a fucking Trojan horse for The Media to further erode digital rights and harvest more personal data.

“Representative of Defence Contractor claims that Australia isn’t spending enough on Defence”.

Hopefully they give her a job at Mar-A-Lago.

Honestly, I would seriously consider getting the kiddies version of the App if it was “without features like algorithmic recommendations, engagement prompts like push notifications, and AI chatbots”.

I have seen title cards change on unwatched videos from something that is innocuous and directly related to the content to something with a scantily clad female, tangentially related to the video who is much younger than me.

While not technically Jailbait, the title cards are sexualised.

I mainly watch renovation, restoration, cinema, off-roading, engineering and fabrication.

The majority of this content is male-dominated and I do appreciate when videos aren’t bursting with aggressive machismo. I think the algorithm has determined that when I watch a video with a female host it is because it thinks I am being pervy.

Loops is a Fediverse equivalent.

It is not a medium that interests me, I have found the content on Loops to be mediocre.

That said, I have found the content on TikTok to also be mediocre and YouTube clips are just jailbait clickbait.

Yes, I know it is algorithm generated, but I am pretty sure everyone is just getting jailbait clickbait.

Now just imaging what would happen if Fracking is ever legalised.

The whole Fossil Fuel Industry is pumping all its advertising and lobbying budget into forcing this to go ahead.

That is why Victoria has a useless desalination plant.

That is why there is so much Astroturf against Windfarms and Solar Batteries.

That is why certain Australian billionaires are funding so much Politics.

This would be a great marketting opportunity for a Solar/Battery company.

Be green while growing the green, without being Narced on by the power company.

Add some fish and you have a Permaculture setup!

Just between you, me and the entire Fediverse, I put the sarcasm tags on just in case I offended anyone.

We need better public transport so that those people who are not confident drivers, or are not competent drivers, or are downright incompetent drivers don’t have to drive.

Less roads, less vehicles on the roads mean that those people who do enjoy driving for the sake of driving can still drive, but they are sharing the road with like-minded people. This is my selfish view with altruistic results.

I deliberately purchased a Suzuki Jimny because I can fix anything that is on it without specialised training or equipment.

The only special tool i would need would be a wrench for the front hubs.

The only specialised equipment is a scantool for configuring the VVT.

One of my neighbours has a Kia K200 for his landscaping business. Another has a Ram 2500 for his ego.

Only one of them can drive through the estate when there are other cars parked on both sides of the road.
