  • Astroturfing is designed not to look like an ad. It’s supposed to look like grassroots support for a product. Legitimising it for the audience. Strategically, it’s effective. “Privacy market leader is bad for x, y and z, what do you think of competitor?”. It’s classic marketing of “here is problem, here is solution”. Just subtle.

    Most people here are probably off gmail or close to it. Best way to make inroads is work your way into a niche which Proton, Tuta, Mailbox did to great effect. As I say, I don’t trash the tried and tested options including rival products of Proton. This is email though, usually you want to put data in hands of companies you trust. Its the reason folk running from google, yahoo, outlook. Being careful and skeptical is good.












  • In reality, not everyone quits and your pay didn’t move. Only way to improve your pay is often move and negotiate.

    If you stay, you can do 200% of the work and hope there is a role and they appreciate your work. Or just sell your experience to a company that definitely has that role available.

    So you assumed I’m an American liberal…

    Firstly, I’m not American. I live in Europe. So fail one. Secondly, I’m a Socialist, so fail two. Fuck liberalism, and screw America, but ultimately, that doesn’t mean you have to swallow everything the enemies of American push. Oh, and I’m on Lemmy because I haven’t touched Reddit in a while. You’re the weirdest leftie that is still actively on an enshittified right-wing hell hole and the projection is real crazy. You cannot demand critical analysis from Americans, and fail in it yourself.

    Oh, btw, Russia is capitalist, with many, many billionaires. The proletariat are not reaping the benefits of their exploitation.

    I live in a world where you can be anti-captalist and not shilling for Russia.

    Let’s go back to basics though, if you have a source saying something, you have to ask who said it, and whether they have a motive. Russia Today is the Russian state broadcaster. It’s a really dreadful source to use to understand a war Russia are currently in. I’d suggest you’d find a less biased source, but not too many of them are pushing Russian propaganda.

    I’m really curious. How do you run polling stations, where you have to advertise to the public where they are, and to come there, and protect yourself from drone and missile strikes? I really want to understand how you can run elections where you’re being invaded. Can you help me out here? Any examples?

    I get really annoyed with Libtards throwing around terms like “tankies” but you’re really kind of walking the ball into your own net (football reference) when you’re shilling this hard for Russia.
