The few of us who do are screaming into a void, it would take something apocalyptic. Thought the cambridge analytical thing and the election would make people see but money talks i guess.
kennedy@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•TikTok’s Algorithm to Be Secured by Oracle in Trump-Backed DealEnglish791·13 days agoOracle will operate in partnership with the US government on everything from algorithm retraining to application development and source code review, the White House official said. It wasn’t immediately clear what role the government might have in oversight of the app, its algorithm and user data.
every article just glosses over the fact a major platform that people use to get/share information (with also a lot of personal data collected) is about to be controlled by the US government and a few of the president’s friends. No one is talking about how bad this will be its just "china bad’.
I only had an account to watch people livestreams concerts, protests, etc… Imagine the amount of suppression and propaganda if something like the L.A riots/free palestine movement happen again but the government controls what you see.
kennedy@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Has a person ever pretended to be a major Republican did a podcast interviews and everythinng else? While raking in a butt load of money? The turn around and be like HA MF's I am a liberal?23·21 days agothere was this black girl in 2018 who pretended to be MAGA. She went on twitter saying how her family kicked her out because of it so she decided to “speak her truth”. She managed to get sympathy from trump supporters and got them to donate to her go fund me. Only got $200 out of it and she returned the donations after admitted she just made it up for fun lmao
In an interview with New York magazine, Quran said she simply decided to “capitalize” off of all of the recent efforts by Republicans to shed the reputation that they’re “mostly racist.”
“A lot of Republicans have this idea that everyone thinks Republicans are mostly racist and they’re really desperate to get that stigma off of them,” she said. “I just felt like capitalizing on that.”
here’s a buzzfeed article on it https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tanyachen/college-student-faked-maga-trump-sob-story-trolled-gofundme
there’s also a high chance some MAGA influencers are just grifters anyway

You want less distraction just stop using those apps or turn off push notifications.

well I am absolutely shocked that meta could be so careless about people’s private data, its inconceivable 😧😧 they would never do such a thing.
I have all notifications turned off except for calls and texts. I tried the bell thing on for every channel i subscribed to on youtube it was absolutely hell. Thats what made me turn it all off in the first place. Every minute there was something new. And since notifications were on i’d also get those unnecessary shit that apps thought I needed to know right this second. Ever since i turned all notifications off my life has been so calm. Especially getting rid of the bubbles on app was so liberating.

I don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors in their c-suite but I wouldn’t be surprised if this fund is a way to get their hands into open source projects. Like you said there’s no explicit proof so it’s best to be cautious.
kennedy@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Technology@lemmy.world•EnteAuth (and a bunch of other FOSS) take Microsoft's "free" moneyEnglish21·2 months agoyes exactly, my problem is not the money. I don’t expect these project to always be free and I support those I can, sponsorship is good. These giant tech firms have used free projects all the time to make money without providing any support so its fine that they’re supporting them. My problem is that I do not trust Microsoft at all.

if the name is from a language you both speak (like the bob example) and the difference is only how you enunciate then dont worry about it. People dont care if its just a regional thing. Otherwise you should copy the pronunciation not the accent. idk if that’s what you mean but for example don’t do an italian accent in your english voice to “sound more italian” you’d get weird looks. Enunciate (the name only) the way they do.
