Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Nordisk, and Warner Brothers are all part of this “Rights Alliance” group. Each of them have used, or plan to use, generative AI going forward - which, by design, is unable to abide by copyright since it is trained on whatever they can get their hands on.

This is yet more “one rule for them and one rule for everyone else” from leaches that are desperate to profit from the work of others and punish anyone who won’t pay into their state-enforced protection racket.

Voat came about when FatPeopleHate got banned Ovarit is similar but for the anti-trans subreddit GenderCritical. Gab is also on there which is an even further right Mastodon fork than Truth Social.

People still do the same here, sadly :/

This is what the last sentence in my post was about; I shouldn’t have to include it. Please try to refrain from doing it in future as it perpetuates the toxicity that Reddit had (and still has) a reputation for. Its fine to pass over a post if you don’t know the answer. It is also fine to pass over a post if you would never find an answer useful.

That being said, since COVID lockdowns were lifted, a hell of a lot of places have become card only, making it necessary to carry one. Some people may have the privileges to be able to use cash whenever they want, but not everyone can. There are places where disability benefits disallow you from taking out the money you receive as cash; I think this is some sort of war on drugs thing. Another reason is that women’s clothing is quite infamously lacking pockets.

I thought it was just crypto scams remaining tbh

I would honestly vibe so much with a community dedicated to moaning about Rust.

Are you from the past? Like 2014?

DNS over HTTPS is your best bet because they can’t Man In The Middle and replace it (DNS Poison) like good old DNS. They will still be able to see the IP addresses you are connecting to unless you proxy those connections. nativeproxy uses Chromium’s stack so it is much harder to detect. There are UI frontends for it if you prefer but I’ve never used them. ProtonVPN also has a stealth protocol that I’ve heard is good, though I don’t know too much about it.

Good on you for trying to get around it. That kind of curiosity is a great way to develop your lateral thinking skills. You didn’t ask for a lecture and people giving you one should go back to stack overflow comments. If you want to take the risks of it, that is up to you and you are likely to fuck up. That being said, you aren’t the only person likely go get in trouble if you fuck up and, unlike you, IT will depend on their job financially. If you do it well enough and make sure you don’t get caught by someone seeing your screen or blagging around the school that you did it, that won’t be an issue.

IT departments also read comments in threads like this to find the current trends of how students are trying to get around their web blockers so keep in mind that you will need to keep your skills up to date.

gtk3-classic still doesn’t work properly on Wayland and I doubt it will ever be fixed so I include WAYLAND_DISPLAY=0 in each shortcut file to force them into xwayland.

One thing that isn’t really touched on because it never got published is that Spofforth has been an active organizer for the far right since 2020. Since then she has been active in anti Drag Queen Story Hour harrasment and targeting hotels. Another example is Yorkshire Rose (Amanda Smith) who has been doing the exact same but to a larger extent.

My main concern is that these fascist agitators have been placed into prisons with people of colour and leftwing activists for an extended period of time.

There are a number of examples I can give but the immediately most obvious that springs to mind is Mark Collett, who can be seen in this picture with his ex-girlfriend who has a large visible swastika tattoo.

The British Movement, formerly known as the British National Socialist Movement also have a presence on both sites. One of their primary catch phrases is, “No more brother wars.” which refers to WW2 as a war between different sects of the “Aryan race”. It means that those sects should not be fighting each other but instead non-white people and Jewish people.

As I say, I can point to more but I think those give you the picture. I should probably also add that its a common quippy clap-back for these types to say “so… huh… everyone you disagree with is a Nazi” themselves. The function of this is to muddy the waters and propagandise the questioning of whether or not their ideology is as bad as those who directly oppose them state. It means that they get to spread their ideas by a proxy to onlookers.

I think its important to highlight that Odysee and Rumble are both “free speech” platforms that neo-nazis love to use to platform their calls for violence.

If you keep an eye on names and faces present at far right demonstrations, usually the same ones pop up all the time. I’m surprised this is the first instanceof the two. Unite the Right and Jan 6 were just the most famous in recent memory. A lot of Jan 6ers have also attacked Drag Queen Story Hours as just another example.

Misogyny and transphobia, as per usual. The build instructions used “he” and bug reports and pull requests have been denied and given edgy responses.

I remember almost a decade ago, the Oneplus 2 not having it was a major downside. I can’t believe we are still doing this song and dance.

I don’t think I will ever feel comfortable learning NixOS since they accepted a sponsorship from Anduril until there was community backlash. Anduril performs violent border survailence for the US government and are responsible for a huge amount of death and suffering.

Blåhaj doesnt have downvotes and I occasionally miss being able to down vote people replying to requests with something that someone specifically said they don’t want in the full-text. For other stuff, report tends to be applicable, particularly spam and racist trolls who just come to advertise or attempt to change the culture of Lemmy.

I presume this is botted but this is another thing that makes me want a more modern federated MySpace.

Dating apps have never been my thing but I think this would be a good fediverse project, maybe linked with something like matrix.
