The planet will be fine once we’re gone.

Hopefully better stewards come next.

Kitty is in the mouse-killin’ bidness, and cousin’ business is a’boomin’.

I just assume they’re under contract to surveill everyone.

Bummer that the voters never held anyone accountable for the ‘Patriot’ Act.

The best way to get your position recorded is to call your representative or senator’s local office, and be polite. All you need to say is “I’d like to have my position recorded on X issue or X bill.” They’ll ask you (probably) for your name, phone number, and zip code to establish that you’re actually a constituent.

Hola Kitty.

Normally I wouldn’t pimp out my YT channel on Lemmy, but I made a video on this topic a few weeks ago: https://youtu.be/kklfzIxWJ7I

I hope some of these are new to you.

Not me, but it’s important to remember that Lemmy doesn’t just feed you an algo. You have to actually post things.

Mango, you perfect little furry god. <3

Yeah, when you’re on the global feed, posts fly by at a dizzying rate. Turning on slow mode makes it so that they stop auto-scrolling and only scroll when you click that you want to see more posts.

No doubt there are bad actors polluting communities on the Fediverse

Yeah, but there’s a huge difference: human moderation coupled with better curation tools. You can block a user or a whole instance, which quiets the Nazis pretty fast.

And the people doing the moderation are volunteers who actually give a shit.

Yup.

Though I thought of it as the Internet from 2010. No ads. No algo. All chronological. Once you figure out where the slow mode setting is and turn it off, Mastodon is the fucking best. I even pay a voluntary sub every month to help my instance host itself.

And it requires just enough setup (5-10 minutes tops) that the vast majority of the Internet is too lazy to use it, which keeps the quality high.

And then he went on Twitter and bragged about it, as if attacking a man who’s already been mobbed by three shitty cops isn’t punk bitch behavior.

Correct.

It’s a cycle, and one that’s repeated many, many times.

You’re right, Jake.

We shouldn’t act at all because bad things happen sometimes.

Thanks man. I needed that reassurance.

That volume also did not cross my mind.

Any camera/audio device with a wireless connection in your home is recording and storing your intimate moments.

And it will falsely identify people at even greater scale, because it is an imprecise and buggy tool.

Hell yeah. Solid Dub.

That guy just had a sports practice and his body temperature is elevated.

Signed, an athlete in a winter climate.
