does anyone else ever look at things they did even just 6 months ago and wonder how they got the energy to do such a thing in the first place?

People talking about this whole Google APK verification thing has really proven to me how many people mistakenly believe Google's flavor of Android is any more "free" than iOS. You have never had freedom and choice under the Play Services regime đ

Itâs unfortunate I can easily clear 10x the number of boosts on posts about bad news compared to good news. Whereâs all the people who want to highlight the good stuff going on? đ

I feel like every generation thinks they had the best childhood, because historically at almost every point in history your childhood was probably occurring at the all time high of humanity up to that point right? Thatâs the nature of progress.However, I genuinely believe people born from 1994â2004 actually had THE best childhoods so far, and ever since, the level of how cool society is has never again reached those all time high peaks. Iâm sad for the kids!Anyways, prove me wrong đ¤

@BrodieOnLinux sure, but unfortunately the ratio of AI videos to human videos is the best it's ever going to be

It's been said before a dozen times in a dozen ways, but corporations taking away *ownership* of internet spaces is why technology is kind of going to shit.People used to have hand-crafted blogs and build well-structured forums, and they gave it all up for a feudalist system of Facebook Groups, Subreddits, and Discord 'servers.' I'm so happy tech like Ghost and Mastodon is changing the tides here, I only wish we could speed it up further đ

It pisses me off that I canât write with my beloved em-dashes anymore, because my writing would end up looking like this Mozilla press release.

So how it seems to work is:Unconstitutional = Trump can do whatever he wants with no repercussions.Constitutional = The same, except he also pays defense contractors millions of dollars to check the [x] "war crime is allowed" box before he does it.Got that right? https://gizmodo.com/palantir-ceo-says-making-war-crimes-constitutional-would-be-good-for-business-2000695162#Palantir #USPol #USGov

It's cool to hear Trump is coming around to the idea of naming things what the rest of the world calls them. Let's fix this one next

RE: https://mastodon.thenewoil.org/@thenewoil/115971195227745876Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think âlol yeah well thatâs not going to stop *me* from using a VPNâA VPN ban isnât really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, theyâll use the fact youâre using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any âhard workâ (i.e. an investigatorâs job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.Donât think you wonât be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw#UKpol #VPNban #PornHub #ChatControl #Privacy #FreeSpeech #SocialMedia

I think some are still missing the point. Iâm not saying theyâre going to lock up every single person who uses a VPN or watches porn. Your governmentâs strategy is to make âcrimesâ like this as common and easy to commit as possible.This way, if you ever do something completely legal which they *actually* donât like, *which can be completely unrelated to VPNs or bypassing age verification,* they can pull up your internet history and easily prosecute you.Organize a legitimate protest, and the governmentâs swift response will be to label you a child sex offender because they found you using evil VPN technology.This is how free speech dies, not from a law that says âfree speech is dead now,â but from draconian, authoritarian laws like this that give the government âplausibleâ reasons to go after anyone, which canât easily be fought against.This has always been the playbook to target innocents. In the USA, drug possession laws being created as a pretense for cops to raid and dismantle minority communities, for example. And now this is coming to the digital realm.
