IT WAS ALL THOSE DAMN AVOCADOS, WHY DIDN’T WE JUST SIMPLY STOP EATING THOSE AVOCADOS

The obvious difference being my/others mastodon posts aren’t showing up on wordpress and being monetized. One way federation to masto doesn’t matter bc it isn’t data farming / putting ads on masto content.

Yeah I’ve seen almost no movement against Tumblr while everyone got very riled up about Meta federation ie fedipact, probably a blindspot bc users have positive associations with tumblr, but it’s still an ad/data company all the same.

It’s a video from a good place, but doing things like this are exactly the kinds of things that fuel content leeches like Destiny, he’s one of the few people that is not worth responding too pretty much no-matter what, I guess the intention could be to offer deprogramming for Destiny’s audience, but it would be a much better use of time responding to people who’s jobs aren’t essentially farming hate against themselves.

I get you like this article but posting it 5x is a bit much, you can just post it to lemmy.ml if you want everyone to see it almost everyone is federated with them.

Yeah like is the New York Times in the room with us right now? God forbid the US officials/media are hypocrites, anything but hypocrisy! Just an excuse to not engage with the article.

I’ve never been without ad block, but I’m not surprised they put a lot of ads bc I doubt they would be making any money enough to hire someone without having like 15 banner ads. Satire is not exactly a monied industry.

Out of those two I would probably go with Mint, but they are comparably simple, so neither would be a bad choice. Make sure to backup your data, but otherwise you probably shouldn’t have any issues with the install, check out ExplainingComputers on YouTube if you need a tutorial, he does a lot of stuff with Mint and put out a new Zorin video last month.

It has AMD integrated graphics which should be supported natively by virtually every new computer/laptop if I’m not mistaken, what distribution did you try?

I’m mostly hoping that the few accounts I follow that are basically only on twitter and facebook eventually open an account on bluesky or even better mastodon so I can follow them with RSS, but that will probably take a while so I see your point.

Aren’t they all gonna be defunct by the end of the month with Elon’s changes to guest accounts or did I not understand the earlier posts about that correctly.

There are about 200 countries not 1700 you peepeepoopoohead

This guy would probably explode if he found out someone said he was inspired by Karl Marx

If you’re asking this you should probably use one to be more safe if you’re exposing stuff to the web, there are other ways of doing it including just VPNing into your home network or using a VPS or cloudflare tunnels, but using a reverse proxy manager in combo with cloudflare DNS is a good place to start and is probably good enough if you use good enough security with it: long unique passwords, two factor, security keys, etc.

I really only use matrix/element I just was just shocked they’re paying 6 mil a year for phone verification and they aren’t completely underwater

Or was it that poor Cuba never had a chance to stand on their own because of the evil Americans blockading the island and forcing them to stand on their own?

You’re so close here, but yet so far lmao

Regardless of bringing up the holocaust (which is not something that should generally be said) going straight into you’re a cow these words rhyme with cow is just a lazy bodyshaming misogny 1 2 punch, and in that sense the joke is definitely the problem even if you excuse the bringing up concentration camps because they’re both Jewish, an aide to the most progressive LA councilman shouldn’t be calling anyone a cow on the timeline

Maybe to an extent but I would say a lot of other people are “brainwashed” in a different way, you drop a Canadian super pro China guy into Beijing and they would not stand out as much as if you dropped some super pro US guy there, your conceptiοn of “brainwashing” lies entirely based on being in a vast majority English language site with vast majority North American and European users, there’s a lot more people in the world than only westerners and or english speakers and a lot of them have opinions you wouldn’t agree with and they aren’t any more or less brainwashed than you, you would only see them as more brainwashed because they take heterodox opions in your corner of the internet

I don’t like all the defederation drama even though in many cases they started it, I prefer the reddit approach where I can interact with pretty much everyone, my instance is only defedded with the borderline illegal gross burggit stuff and the openly racist one and I think that’s preferrable to leave the user to block individuals or communities they don’t like other than the heinous stuff, I would rather have my posts reach most people on the site rather than smaller subsections personally.
