Oh no.... Anyway..
"The new guy cant be as bad"
Or
"I'm not voting for a woman"
Or
"I'd rather vot for Trump than a demented person X"
I have very little faith in the average person.
I dont trust anything that isn't fully decentralized. Bluesky is very weird in that regard, its partially centralised. I guess it's better than Twitter (but that is setting the bar very low). I still refrain from using it too often.
It will almost certainly have ads in the future and will inevitably go down the path of reddit, twitter and Facebook so I prefer to use something that is completely out of reach of the CEO if something goes to shit.
Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.
"WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE????!!?"
Like fuck off no I wouldn't. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.
To be fair. That's what's basically been happening over the past 50 years. Just look at how we let Russia walk all over us. So it kinda makes sense for them to expect the same outcome.
Their only problem is that since Europe is basically on its own now, Europe has to choose for european produce. We can deal with one shitty dictatorship trying to push us around. But now its two shitty dictatorships so yeah that kinda changes things around (finally).
They've been X tier for a while now. A lot of people have been (shadow)banned just for having opinions that don't fit reddits narrative. Also better not disagree with any mods since that's basically an instaban.
It's sad since I was on reddit since the beginning. First Imgur turned completely to shit and now Reddit has become a dystopian hellhole. I just couldn't deal with all the shitty practises and enshittification it went through. Also all the subs I liked were filled with bots and reposts ad nauseum.
Honestly I like lemmy way better BECAUSE it has less shitty people on it. Way more meaningful discussion and less shitty one liner "LOL LOOK AT ME IM FUNNY" dumbass comments.
I wonder what his defense will be. Probably something like "i touched her without consent but I was not assaulting her" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xsmST_fuaNA
Reddit. Free speech*
*only if your free speech aligns with our interests.
Nah, being convicted is for minorities and the poor.
That said, I'm not sure if she's rich so maybe?
You'd think people would want something different like a non proprietary OS that spies on your every daily aspect of your life seeing the recent tensions in the word.
But nah let's all keep using Facebook, MS, Google and act all surprised pikachu face when 1984 finally happens.
I've been wanting a phone with alternate OS for ages now but it simply isn't there. Guess ill just have to stick to grapheneos for now.
If blackberry manages to come back without using android I might consider them. It its just going to be another shitty android phone with a blackberry skin on it then I'll pass. Probably a fat chance anyway since no one will buy a phone that doesn't have android or iOS.
i switched to Linux Mint as well. I really don't want to use any big tech garbage anymore. They will lure you in with a cheap offer and then when everyone is aboard it's time to raise prices and start the enshittification.
Thunderbird is also a very good alternative to Outlook.
I steered away from cloud services as long as possible and it seems i've made the right choice by keeping it local to my NAS.
So Russia can put nukes there? No thanks...
As much as Hungary is a shitstain in the EU, the moment they are thrown out they will join Russia and make things even worse.
