LOL, that’s a good one.
I mean, it did happen in the Oval Office, not unlike Trump’s decision to monetize the Resolute Desk for ad space.
Artist, theatrical performer, roller derby announcer, and former derby skater in the Midwest.
Single, childless, and married to my my freedom and sense of adventure.
LOL, that’s a good one.

That’s true, but one can look at historical protest movements and learn ways to be more effective about this. MLK and Malcolm X were exceedingly strategic in what they did.
Or hire The Satanic Temple to do it for you. They’re better at protests than anyone else.
Simulating homelessness is a shit tactic.
Fascism aside, who thought it was a good tactic to simulate homelessness as a protest tactic in the US?
Americans hate homelessness so much that they’re okay with government spending more on the issue because, while cruel policies are more expensive, we collectively like the cruelty.
Fun!
I’ll probably pick it up in a few weeks. I’m having a lot of fun with BG3 right now.
I picked Baldur’s Gate 3 back up two weeks ago.
Last summer I played Act 1 of the game and found myself thoroughly satisfied, and decided to wait to play the rest.
Act 2, like Act 1, is just as awesome. We’ll see if I decide to take another break before the third act, haha! This game is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Other than that I’ve been taking a lot of 10-15 minute breaks while working from home and enjoying the minigames on Meta Horizons.
I dunno, man. I keep telling people to stop voting capitalist, and every election it’s 99% Democrat and Republican, so this is what happens.
Reminds me of how vociferously the Right raged against Obama when his DOJ released its report on domestic terrorism and rightly attributed to right-wing interests. Obama, as the good corporate lap dog that he was, apologized for saying the correct, factual things, which is weird, because that report’s one of the few good things Obama ever did.
Israel keeps pounding murdering people in Gaza as Palestinian death toll in hostage rescue raid rises to 274.
That feels a tad more honest.
If I’m understanding you correctly, Brave Browser does that.
I’m about 2/3 of the way through backing up my ‘Liked’ songs to MP3 files, at which point I’m ending my sub.
It’s a bummer because I actually really like Spotify’s algorithm and it suggests great music for my tastes, but, I can have that for free without feeding their stupid insatiable greed.
LOL
US agencies will take their bribes and do jack shit. As with everything else, Europe will lead on the regulatory front.
I love that half of my feed is Israel stories, all of them negative, and both presumptive US presidential candidates support Israeli genocide 100%.
I still have a ton of these books and bust them out occasionally. CYOA was the peak of reading growing up.
They still sold user data without being upfront about it until caught,
And then they did better, as a business should. It’s all in their FAQ.
I’m not sure why there has to be a circle jerk of trolls any time someone mentions Brave, but here we are.
That’s fine. Do what you like.
I think that, if you’re going to pretend to know what you’re talking about, you should know what you’re talking about.
I think it’s a good thing that a person as to willingly opt-in to data collection.
It’s really that simple.
False.
They sold data from Brave search, which you don’t have to use. (and I don’t.)
Also, the crypto thing is also opt-in. You don’t have to use it either.
It works better than Firefox, especially if your aim is blocking ads.
Brave’s native adblock works better than anything else I’ve tried.
Give Brave a look, folks.
I switched to Linux this week. I highly recommend it.
Unfortunately, that ship has sailed.
The corporate social media algorithms do two things: Convince users that everything they believe is correct, no matter how crazy it is, and also keep them as pissed off as possible. We were never sophisticated or intelligent enough to discern truth from fallacies, and that’s much harder to do now that fake information has become so sophisticated.
It will be interesting to see how the EU AI Act works out, because that will apply to external companies that have users in the EU, and therefore may force some of the bad actors to self-regulate. That said, I have zero faith that people themselves will decide to make better choices.
