Slavishly Follow the Fascist Government's Lead
I am a building
WHO ARE YOU I AM FROM ANCIENT GREECE
It's almost impressive how quickly the whole of the business world capitulated to Donald Trump.
This is what's fucking shitty about this
Every company and every politician and every person who bends over so willingly IS THE PROBLEM
It's like they announce their regime and these idiots roll out the red carpets immediately ready be the first company to suck the government off
If they all stood their ground, it would buy more time
It's too hard to change anything, but only if it's progressive policies. Fascist policies can be implemented immediately.
It's too hard to change anything if one believes in laws, rules and the general idea of a fair justice. They don't have this limitation.
First reddit now youtube. Welcome to the tech broligarchy
We need a good federated youtube replacement so badly...
PeerTube isn’t bad, it just has no content
What about this idea:
Stop staring at internet videos all day and go get a life. Learn Spanish, take up woodworking, volunteer at your local school, walk around the block… do something useful instead of staring at Internet videos, or worse, making internet videos for people to stare at
No thanks.
This is an unhelpful and condescending comment. It dismisses the meaningful activities people engage in online as "not life": self expression, creating art and community, working, socializing, enjoying entertainment, and learning new things. It proposes a false dichotomy wherein not-online is utopic with universally accessible activities and, especially, an absence of the very same people who make online spaces toxic hellholes. They are present in "real spaces" too. These are not mutually exclusive things. You are likely to find that pro-social activists online are often try to be pro-social activists in person as well.
That being said, I agree that people get terminally online and that balancing digital and physical lives are important. Managing attention and mental health are important, especially when content about important and meaningful topics turn into viral and incessant feeds that are geared to overwhelm human brains that weren't evolved to handle such constant cognitive/emotional stress.
Take care out there folks.
Man this whole anticipatory compliance with the fascist regime shit is fucking awful
Welcome to how the world has always worked and always will. There's gin to help wash the black pill down.
Probably because no one is actually using any gender identity based bigotry any more. So they might as well just remove it, it saves space. /s
It's time to boycott Google as well now hu? Already ditched their search engine and moved to kagi
