dessalines,

I don’t care about dorsey or whatever, but a lot of privacy advocates don’t consider signal secure, drew devault for example. I’m def among them, you should not trust any centralized US-hosted service.

dessalines,

You shouldn’t need to trust open source, it should be independently verifiable. Unfortunately that’s not possible with either signal or telegram, as there’s no way to tell what server code they’re running.

dessalines,

Haha no, but we do have some things inside lemmy to make it better suited for question / answer communities, like the forum / new comments sort. But ya I’d be down to hear ideas on how to make lemmy better for that purpose.

Blade Runner 2049 is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time (hexbear.net)

Holy shit this movie is pure art. The visuals and aesthetic are spot on for Cyberpunk and the sound direction is so good. Literally every set had me engaged because how good they looked. The scene with K just going around the city with these big ass logo’s of dead and alive companies was so good. Visually, this movie is a...

He played a good tech billionaire sociopath, which is what his personality is like anyway.

dessalines,

Zionism is a settler-colonialist ideology dedicated to the eviction and genocide of the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. We don’t allow them or their defenders a platform here, so you’ll have to go to reddit if you want to see people defending their atrocities.

dessalines,

I feel like they would also love batman from a “law and order” angle. He cleans up the streets, and beats up the low-level-drug-dealers while the CRT-trained cuck woke cops just sit there!

dessalines,

Stay respectful while disagreeing please.

dessalines,

I was talking about non-local posts. It’s really hard to tell what you’re asking. Click the all button, and now you’ll see federated posts in addition to local ones.

If they made all top-level comments thus suppressing all other activity on the post, what would that mean?

I can’t figure out what this means. New comments are also sorted as hot by default, if you read the doc I linked.

dessalines,

Every single one of the US’s amendments came not through voting, or within the political system itself. Every single one was accompanied by violent and disruptive protest and the threat from the masses below.

dessalines,

That’s truly one of the worst things about brain drain / educated people moving to the imperial core countries for the high salaries. Global south countries really need educated young people helping to solve their own problems, and Canada and the US rip out their heart and soul.

At least in tech / programming, a good chunk of us are devoting most of our labor time to not just wasteful things, but actively harmful things, like trying to get people to click on ads, or increasing viral engagement.

dessalines,

Capitalism, specifically late stage capitalism.

dessalines,

You also made me think of this relevant quote by Lenin:

People always have been the foolish victims of deception and self-deception in politics, and they always will be, until they have learnt to seek out the interests of some class or other behind all moral, religious, political and social phrases, declarations and promises.

dessalines,

It’ll probably tax your HD a bit more, sure.
