Who would have ever thought they could stoop so low!

Oh wait, every single person on the face of the planet.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Whether or not anyone found him out, think about the fact that he himself knows that he created a fake account so he could tell himself he's a great father. Imagine knowing that about yourself. I shudder to think of the absolute disgust he must feel when he looks at himself in the mirror. At least there's comfort and joy to be found for the rest of us in thinking about that. What a fucking loser. I dream of the day I don't have to hear about this pathetic waste of space on a daily basis.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

It's not the "only option", not by a mile. It's just convenient for you to say that it is so you don't feel so bad about giving money to the worst of the evil megacorps.

I wish that guy would dial his fake enthusiasm down to about 20 percent.

‘Kids Online Safety Act’ is a Trojan Horse For Digital Censorship. (consumerchoicecenter.org)

‘Kids Online Safety Act’ is a Trojan Horse For Digital Censorship.::Washington, D.C. - This week, a bipartisan cohort of US Senators unveiled a new version of the Kids Online Safety Act, a bill that aims to impose various restrictions and requirements on tech

Does this suit you better? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/02/dont-fall-latest-changes-dangerous-kids-online-safety-act

darkmatternoodlecow ,

No one is "bringing back" landlines. What a fucking retarded claim to make.

Consequences of this discovery for Elon Musk and X:

darkmatternoodlecow ,

I don't get it. No one from any country that uses metric units would convert a day to seconds. This is not something we do. What's the joke exactly?

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Okay ... If you think that's funny, that's cool, man.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Judgement is a valid spelling of the word.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

So in your warped little world, people supporting Firefox over a browser made by an ad company are the direct cause of Firefox now focusing on AI?

darkmatternoodlecow ,

If only there was an alternative to voice-assisted house management.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

The corps will poison and corrupt this potential like they poison and corrupt everything of value. There is no hope of a brighter future, only corpo hell. We are powerless to stop them.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

As much as I loathe Meta, this seems like a bizarre thing to say. Wouldn't any messaging service by definition "enable" any and all behavior that requires any sort of communication? From chess tournaments and stamp collection field trips, across coffee dates and picking people up from school, to gang rapes and lynchings, couldn't any communication channel be said to "enable" pretty much any activity on the planet? Weird shit.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

And if we were talking about hooking up with our friends to play Minecraft, that'd be a great point.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

This site's "articles" are some of the most misinformed, misguided nonsense on the web.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Maybe using a free email account offered by an ad company wasn't such a good idea after all.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Yeah, they have more than five users, they must be hiding something. It's only logical.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

A provider having more than 50 users and offering more than one service doesn't make them evil. Use Proton. They are the best, and they're not likely to disappear. If you intentionally seek out small services because you think being an underdog is some sort of privacy merit badge, you'll get "absolutely fucked" over and over again.

Also, you should consider paying for the products you use to encourage sane and user-friendly business models. But that's a different discussion altogether.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

I think you need to read up on the reasons why services like GMail and Facebook are free.

How to sign up services without phone number?

Hello all, recently wanted to signup for temporary permanent legit emailmid in gmail. It was asking me Phone number in process, i tried to use multiple numbers from regular online resources ( more than 30) but nothing worked. I don't want to give my personal phone number in real life to someone's unless Its I want to....

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Don't use services that require you to enter a phone number if you are not comfortable with the providers of those services having your phone number. Do without.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Ran it through the corpo parseltongue translator.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

You're not wrong, but your suggestion is completely disconnected from reality. You cannot fix any problem in the world by appealing to the potential in people to behave intelligently and rationally. As a group, they never will. As a group, they are monkeys without tails, incapable of rational thought and behavior.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Healthy skepticism isn't a solution, because most people do not possess this.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Jesus Christ, buddy.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

I guess an annual salary of one hundred trillion dollars, or however ridiculously much it was, wasn't enough for her.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

I know, my comment didn't make a lot of sense; her salary just triggered me tremendously the first time I heard what it was. This seemed like as good a place as any to express my disgust.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

I assume that on the IRS returns form for Mozilla Foundation, the "related organization" that the CEO of Mozilla Corporation gets 5+ million from is probably Mozilla Corporation. But I don't know.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

You do not own the domain yourself if you register it through Njalla.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

https://njal.la/faq/

darkmatternoodlecow ,

You are not wrong, but there is a reason that identification requirements exist for domain registration. In any case, however, at the end of the day a person who registers a domain through Njalla does not have ownership of the domain. This is not an insignificant fact no matter how you spin it. It's not your domain. You're blindly trusting someone whose credentials are to have pirated movies two decades ago with something that might potentially be tremendously valuable, if to no one else but yourself.

Unless you're literally doing something illegal, choosing Njalla over a regular vendor offering WHOIS privacy is to move beyond privacy consciousness into the realm of paranoid recklessness.

Misleading user name.

Musk says Tesla will hold shareholder vote ‘immediately’ to move company’s incorporation to Texas (www.forbes.com.au)

Musk says Tesla will hold shareholder vote ‘immediately’ to move company’s incorporation to Texas::Billionaire Elon Musk justified the decision on the results of an unscientific poll run on his X account a day earlier.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

What a fucking loser.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

I know absolutely nothing about TikTok, but as someone who has been alive since vinyl records were the standard vehicle for music, I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that Universal are the bad guys here. Record companies are the scum of the earth, absolute garbage human beings.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Not really, although I see your point. I just have a particular dislike of record companies.

Any suggestions for overcoming addiction to capitalist big tech social media and streaming etc?

I've tried getting into peertube to have something to watch. I'm exploring copyleft music on open audio / funkwhale. I'm on here in lemmy as of this week. I'm playing with mastodon and the fediverse. I've tried studying psychology and psychology-adjacent territory like Deleuze and Guattari and Foucault and Derrida so I can break...

darkmatternoodlecow ,

You're overcomplicating things. Make the changes that are possible, don't make the changes that aren't. There's no trophy for being an extremist. Live the life that makes you happy; that's the point of it all. If leaving social media makes you happy, do it. If it doesn't, don't. It's easy and uncomplicated.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

You completely misunderstood my comment.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

This site has a long history on Kbin and Lemmy of spamming poorly written, poorly researched articles. It is a trash site written by a 14-year-old who knows nothing about anything.

Google admits Chrome Incognito mode tracks users — what you need to know::Google is adding new disclaimers to Chrome after the search giant settled a class-action lawsuit regarding how incognito mode isn’t actually as private as it appears to be.
