Too chaotic for a paladin

Amateur artist and junior IT administrator. Mostly self-trained in chaotic and often destructive ways. Opponent of mainstream social media and nasty digital surveillance, wanna-be cypherpunk. Linux user since 2013. Fully degoogled since December 2019. Fully BigTech-free since March 2024.
Synesthete. That weird freak who sometimes uses Daedric alphabet. Even weirder freak who use bare IP address instead of some server name.
Cryptography is my only religion - does Church of Wael look for new members?
In my free time I draw or write stories, first of all for my fun.

Funny thing... I always knew is decentralized, like . But for ~3 years I knew only one instance address, second one I accidentally saw here. And I absolutely don't know where to look for more. :blobcatjoy:

Another "like a tribal tattoo" ... this time. Planned to draw it more like these clay figurines decorated with coloured glass shards available in souvenir shops :blobcatjoy:​

Niby człowiek wiedział, ale jak obejrzał materiał z zebranymi badaniami, to mu się zrobiło trochę straszno.

Nie wystarczy dla powstrzymania naszego wymierania (katastrofy klimatycznej) zrezygnować z paliw kopalnych.

Trzeba jeszcze zmienić rolnictwo i ludzką dietę.

Zostawienie tego tak, jak jest, pozostawi przy życiu jedynie najbogatszych.

@warroza @sp6mr @rail_ @m0bi13 jestem za tym żeby się rozpowszechniło. Kupuję od paru miesięcy to, co jest dostępne w lokalnych sklepach i jakoś żyję, to nawet smaczne jest i w większości zawiera mało cukru jeśli wierzyć tym tabelkom na opakowaniach.

I nie, unia nie opłaciła mnie, żebym napisała ten post :blobcatpusheen:

@pawel ciekawy zbieg okoliczności że parę tygodni po tym jak usunęłam tam konto regularnie widzę tutaj posty pokazujące, co tam jest nie tak :blobcatjoy:

Klasyczny przykład podcinania gałęzi, na której się siedzi. Firmy najpierw zalały ludzi spamem telefonicznym, a teraz zaczynają płakać, że nikt nie odbiera od nich telefonów jak mają prawdziwą potrzebę kontaktu z klientem...

"So many people no longer answer calls from unrecognized numbers that it's becoming almost pointless to try to call customers when there are legitimate issues they need to resolve."

madargon,
@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@pluszysta @rdrozd @revanmj Ja od kilku lat nie używam telefonu jako telefonu. I obecnie jeśli mam połączenie nie przez Signal to ponad 99% przypadków to jakiś spam, fotowoltaika, ubezpieczenia samochodów, spotkania dla emerytów...
Czasem to nawet odbieram i kładę telefon na stole, niech się bot wygada i straci trochę czasu. Chciałabym powtórzyć taki numer jak widziałam opisany na jakiejś stronie, że ktoś puścił jednemu botowi wypowiedzi innego, z drugiego telefonu albo jakieś nagranie, żeby go zapętlić i zmarnować spamerom więcej czasu :devil:

I saw some photos of them, they are called Bluestripe Butterflyfish (I hope I noted it well :D)

Why the hell login via identity card is so much pain every damn time?!?

madargon,
@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@MartinBe Maybe it is somehow related to their smartcard reader software, distributed via the same government sites. I remember how I laughed reading their manual, definitely wrote by someone who never saw Linux.

madargon,
@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@MartinBe Every service there, related to taxes, voting, some weird services using their "inbox" etc. are the same. Chain of weird redirections, sometimes with as suspicious addresses as real scam sites. And I dare you to use adblockers in browser...

Not even sure if it was original, I saw it here many times independently last few days, from various accounts posting this.
I imagined it as some - - , most possibly living underwater so it could move quickly in this shape :blobcatjoy:​

holy shit. they actually called it "reply guy". seeing the Torment Nexus and copying it for profit is one thing, but seeing a reply guy and being like "I can monetize that" is a whole new type of evil.

@peteriskrisjanis @rose I thought it was satire when my friend sent me link yesterday.

Hm, someone never writes their own posts and only boosts other persons' posts. Legit? Maybe I am too suspicious.

@pascaline I know poeple using social media (various, not only fedi) this way. Rather harmless, until they propagate weird spam posts with suspicios links.

#Meta should just offer people in #Europe (& the rest of the planet) a simple option: either opt in to have your personal information sold to advertisers, or pay a fee to use #Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp & #Threads.

It works for #YouTube (I pay them to avoid ads), as well as other news organizations. It’s really that simple.

@darnell If their business model rely on exploitation, manipulation and general disrespect these companies shouldn't exist at all.

madargon,
@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@darnell But data are STILL siphoned off - there's a big lie paid tiers are free of tracking. Only there is no ads visible. And displaying ads shouldn't require invading poeople's private lives and activities. There wers context ads for example.
Maybe it's good time to finally separate first thing from the second.

madargon,
@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@darnell Yes, I absolutely don't trust them and don't use. I cut from my life few of them and never touched the rest. And I block connections to their services if I find them. Never thought they are critical.
But there are people who don't use it voluntarily but because of external factors (employers, stubborn families, various service providers refusing to use other communication channels) forcing them. And they don't deserve to be "punished".
