Those are weird places to mine data… are they specifically targeting young people?
those systems don’t even work and can be so easily tricked.
normalization is the point, and harvesting data, not actual safety in any way
does using Death Stranding still work because i’m not giving them my face
I used a jpeg of Seether’s drummer for my Google account and that worked.
Literally Spez right now…
(I’d post the uncensored image but IIRC Lemmy World is German-based and have strict laws against Nazi iconography)
He’s wilfully given the data of users who have criticized Trump and ICE, AND he looks like a spitting image of Tintin…
Theil should be removed from any authoritative seats he may hold, and then be stripped of his wealth to stop him buying our elected officials
“Compelled” *evil shojo laughing all the way to the delete button"
Fucking never. Never ever. I’d sooner cut myself off from all technology and live in the woods than willingly give those creepy fucks my middle goddamn name. There is absolutely nothing good that will come from this company. The people at that company literally fucking movie villains. It’s fucking crazy that absolutely anyone works with them, let alone world governments.
These large scale surveillance companies like Palantir, like Flock, they shouldn’t exist. They should be outlawed. Our government needs probable cause and a warrant to surveil a suspect. If a normal civilian followed you around and filmed you, kept track of you at all times, they’d be arrested for stalking. But for some reason private companies can just watch every man, woman, and child in public and online, catalog all our movements, where we went, how we went there, who was with us, track what we do, what we read, who we know, how we spend our time, what we say, etc., and then permanently log all of that, use it to form dociers on us, predict our behaviors, or desires, ways to manipulate us, and then turn around and sell that data to governments, other companies and private parties. How the fuck is that legal.
Why in the fuck would you ever allow a private, profit-driven company to have that kind of power over your nation, let alone reward it with federal dollars, long term contracts and access to our law enforcement and military data and systems?
Worse, the founders and CEO are unhinged wannabe dictators trying to form their own sovereign techno-states. They’re not even secretive about that. And our goverment is fucking funding these nuts and giving them every detail of the lives of our citizenry, our goverment officials, our military… how fucking stupid do we have to be, guys? I wish I could say it’s just Trump but it’s not. It’s mind boggling.
I’m here because of this. 10 year old Reddit account deleted, app deleted, done over and out.
Peter fucking thiel has too much money and is backing everything, for example PayPal and stripe that are processing 80% of e-commerce payments
What is the lemmy equivalent for discord?
Matrix. Also to a much lesser degree XMPP.
Fluxer.app
Matrix is probably the closest in terms of being widespread and well supported by client and server implementations, though it’s not quite the same. It’s a bit finicky in practice too.
read somewhere that Matrix may be compromised. Have you heard of this?
Nothing so far, there is Stoat, Roomy and Root, iirc there are others but I do not recall them atm.
Abandon all of these platforms and any others that associate in any way with Palantir or Thiel
i still use them without going through the id system
hasn’t affected me at all
Almost wish I could be part of the exodus, but I use none of these
Good
The problem is that millions do, and won’t understand what the big deal is, and be sucked into the fucking psyop vortex.
Few powerful people deciding everything and millions falling in line and the few outliers being affected even if they opt out due to decisions of millions of others who support the few powerful sums up the world.
That’s the thing. You don’t have to fool all the people all of the time, just most of the people most of the time.
I’m watching Gladiator tonight for the first time in 20 years. It’s hardly new but so painful to watch again through the lens of the current state of America. It went from ominous historical warning 25 years ago of power, weakness and how men act in opportune moments to a primer on current affairs.
I never really saw it as an allegory for fascism, but that’s an interesting take.
At least the bad guy gets shanked in the end.
Indeed. It’s like so many people have been trained to be asleep at the wheel.
Many don’t have the capacity left to make conscious decisions about these things - either they are already living paycheck to paycheck or it is too abstract for them to realize it might bite them and everyone else on a future date. Even if i have ideas for the first group that I have no power to make reality, I don’t have a solution for the second group either.
Let’s wait until it’s revealed that every commercial us platform is connected…
palintirs AI desperate need to get clients, so when the bubble burst they wont be hurt that much.
Fucking Peter literally creating the very monster he claims to hate.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
They’re trying to force it to happen. They somehow think they’ll be spared and only the people they hate will have to suffer.
It’s a great way to kill those products. That’s maybe the only upside.
Is it?
Most people won’t care and continue using it anyways.
I won’t, for sure, but most people are fucking idiots when it comes to this stuff
The problem is there are a lot of subreddits that are an excellent resource. As far as I know, there aren’t any Blender help instances with a 100,000 people. I really wish there were.
Yeah, I haven’t used reddit for years, but recently landed there trying to figure out an issue with raspberry pi /ssh. So much content and support… real shame
Maybe that’s his goal.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
FUCK THE SYSTEM!
I WAS BORN TO RAGE AGAINST 'EM!
With the unlubed, thorny, gritty, legendary dildo of consequences!
And a squirt of lemon
