Probando desde otra cuenta, ya que la primera parece tener problemas para recibir los mensajes de vuelta. ¡Es bueno ver que hay gente con el interés de aprender Español!

I would presume they can use their personal accounts. Or set up an alternate org outside of US jurisdiction.

Maaaaan I tried to like Gemini but it’s all over the place being a “worse Gopher” of sorts. Not that I wouldn’t adopt it if it garnered more attention, but I feel like it’s made for pubishing “yellow pages”, not actual content.

They want to help you save battery!

Good ol’ rtorrent never dissapoints. For when I want something with a webui, I have a qflood container that I extracted from its old *arr setup to more generalistic usage.

What a precious overlord!

¿por qué no los dos?

Even if he’s in court he’s still innocent, until (or even after) the court pronounces themselves. Courts don’t somehow magically generate a quantum state of truthfulness, they only declare legal terms.

I wouldn’t say it’d be “in their favor”. To be honest, I don’t think even the ruling class has a way to make this smply “go away” in the “make sure polices and judges do not pursue this case” sense, and even if they did that’d just spark more animosity towards them that they have this power (i mean, we know they do, it’s just now it’d be visible) and they’re using it.

Theoretically: no.

In practice, in the world we’re living in? Hell no.

Any attempt to prosecute the killer would simply add to the advantage the ruling class already have, and be basically an injustice by definition no matter how “by the book” could it have been approached in the otherwise wondrful and illusory world of theory.

Not really federated. You can’t, for example, raise issues or set PR requests from another instance.

inb4 “it depends” but, well, really, it depends, on the what.

Having something to lose because you care for them means they are a liability and a weak point that can be exploited. They are also a natural distraction. In that sense, their presence and status as “things to care for” make you weaker; however, the fact that you care grants you motivation, as well as spite, that can be pretty hard to find elsewhere. You won’t find people who truly care so much as to give their lives for their employer, even top level bootlickers shy away once things get dicey. And spite is quite the damn effective motivator! So, the fact that you can have something to lose promotes you to keep up a higher “action baseline”: waking up in the mornings, keeping yourself healthy and open enough to actually go and protect, etc…; those make you stronger.

As someone who has had 8 cats before and has also provided support for 7 other ones, I can easily tell that their cute little purrs are energizing and I’m more active and aware of the world around me simply because I have to find good quality cat food for cheaper. So if anything I’m a “stronger” agent in the commerce.

effectively forcing their own personal feed preferences on everyone who uses Lemmy

But… that’s how voting literally works. Hence one of the smartest ideas I saw once for Lemmy (and for the Fediverse in general) was to substitute upvoting/downvoting for “voting on tags”, such as being able to tag a post as “fake news”, “inspiring” or “AI generated” and have people vote on those instead of on the psot / comment proper. Alas, I don’t know what ever happened to that proposal, and could never find it again to track it down.

But, see, that’s the thing and that’s why there’s an important difference between blocking and downvoting:

If I block something bad, like say fake news or fascism or AI, I block it only for me, it’s only protecting myself; but if I downvote it, I also help protect my peers. If we want to make community, that’s very important. And like any measure, it can be gamed, but so long as it’s the one option we have, we gotta use like that. I expect AI slop to be batch-downvoted; if I didn’t, I’d be back at Reddit.

punishing people for downvoting AI slop

Now that would be quite the turn… Downvoting AI slop is the basic human decency I’d expect from Lemmy.

They didn’t even hand me a uniform or a qt cap, and they work with Node.js despite several warnings; I ain’t representing shit.

If you work for a company, you’re a representative of that company.

I’m not. Corporate is paying for my work (and barely, at that, given current rates), not for my ethics or for my ethical standing before other people who might not work at the company. If you believe otherwise, you might have been brainwashed by corporate-paid education.

So, lemme get this straight: Wikipedia is being censored (worldwide, might I add) because a party complains that they are reported of as being accused of a thing, or because of the thing itself?

Well, given the kind of company, it’s not like you’d obtain a consent if you asked. They’re too busy getting that Israeli money.

Changing the source code of the browser, unfortunately. I don’t know what Tor Browser does or how, but basically you’d have to do about the same as they do.
