Boost for Lemmy un-bolds* the old ones

Remember what you learned in school: Working as a team to solve a test or problem is unacceptable!!! Unless you are a company town.

This really underscores that “The Company Town” is very much alive. Also move over East India Trading Co.

We’ve let the Internet too few big players. It used to be more diverse, more federated. Now it’s just the New TV for Advertisers to shit down your neck.

I’m not even sure if we can go back without inventing new technologies not captured by bureaucratic establishments.

This is by design. The primary email relays have been captured for snooping. The spam lists are just a tool to solidify “winners” who comply with giving up your data.

What’s next, you’ll tell me Burger King News coverage of The Hamburgler wreaking havok on the city is false too? If we don’t act now to increase our anti-hamburgler budget all of Frace as we know it will be gone! We can’t afford to not act!!!

its funnier when you just don’t buy or play Denuvo games out of principal and let them fail for the lulz.

I hope they FAFO the wrong McAfee type

Money Talks, Bullshit Walks.

I thought signing up for Signal required a phone number and phone app – and all phones have IMEI besides many other nightmare anti-features.

For the normies it’s fine but tbh I’m not sure it’s as advertised.

What ever happened to that odd old app called tox?

Honestly I could see a version of DeltaChat + GPG make some gains in popularity but I would argue the email relay servers and spam lists are rigged for max surveillance.

Are we at the point where tech from 20 years ago may be the way lmao.

XMPP, IRC, ICQ /s

Matrix is probably the best bet but some of their apps and clients seem like dogshit. And I am saying that as someone who uses them daily. And the whole “server” thing is a PITA, or it used to be at least.

I guess we’ll just have to use carrier pidgin and cypherto encrypt the cat gifs /s

Do either of you know of a great warrior by the name of loves2spooge?

First I heard they even had a fedi.

PLZ Add Publisher Launcher, it’s unfair that friends find me on steam and not my super favorite publisher fancy go clicky web 3.0 cloud store with digital lucrative dlc lootboxes for my simple consoomer satiation.

PLZ make it so if cheats r detect that GameApp.exe explodes the battery in their laptop.

Scratch that, explode the Solomonite.

Step 1. Built Internet to get away from TV

Step 2. Corporate Greed TV moves over and ruins Internet.

Step 3. Build New Internet to escape Old Internet Ruined by TV bloodsuckers.

Step 4. Go back to step 2 and replace tech names with next itteration.

Yeah I would definitely skip out on Mastodon and Lemmy directly. They’re fine as a temporary visit but long term nah.

Dickhead meet Dickbutt, sounds like reddit poetry to me

Imagine them disconnecting someone’s land-line phone if they detected heresy against Zeus & Mount Olympus.

They should argue that they are not qualified to be a police force, nor a courthouse. They are simply a private business & a utility.

The Web Browser is the new TeleVision.

There is too much financial power to corrupt for us to win this fight.

The way out is to ditch HTTPS, HTML & CSS and create a new spec that is purposely limited in its scope suchas Gopher or Gemini (although I might argue Gemini is slightly too narrow as I think it would need Images, Audio & Video and maybe Input Forms depending on scope)

HTTP & HTML must die. It had a good run, it’s time for a new Hyper v2 world outside the mainstream downtown doofus hangouts of social media & Advertising impersonating Internet Things like search, social & email.

We need a new web browser without all the legacy garbage & complexities. Without the DRM corruption shoehorned by Amazon, Disney, Netflix & Google.

And it needs to be limited by design to just what is needed so financial interests can’t corrupt & screw it up.
