y helo thar?
More than one thing can be true.
I’m just not seeing the goodwill to society from the current billionaires. They’re all ratfucks but at least of yesteryear they tossed us a bone or two.
Where are the Carnegie types to build public infrastructure? Y’know, improve the lives of the rest of society that gave them enough power to amass such wealth.
There’s no such thing as a “self-made billionaire”, it’s made off the exploitation of the folks below. Everyone has a great idea or two, but getting lucky isn’t just being “God’s chosen one” (or whatever nonsense people use to deflect that billionaires existence is unjust). It’s full out exploitation in the highest order, but because they toss some breadcrumbs we do the dance for them.
If there are 9 people sitting at a table, and one Nazi sits down. If no one gets up from the table there are now 10 Nazi’s sitting at that table.
That’s fair, everyone has different objectives with their OpSec. But it’s a good reminder for those who might click the link that if they consider trackers bad they can opt out. The first thing in deciding if you care is understanding what’s in your risk profile. If you’ve saved your password for Lemmy to Chrome then yes, Google likely knows.
Even without direct trackers linking accounts there’s browser fingerprinting and other such nonsense to get a good idea who’s who. Just food for thought, not just for you, but for anyone else who stumbles upon this post.
Pretty good!
One small suggestion though. Remember to remove everything after the “?” when sharing links to YouTube or other platforms. The “is” (sometimes “si”, sometimes something else) is a server side tracker. When you generated that link on YT, it saved the random letters behind ‘is=‘ to a table in a database associated with your account. Now anyone you share that link with, who clicks on it will be linked to your profile behind the scenes in the data machine of Google.
Additionally, when Google is scraping Lemmy or FB or anywhere else you drop that link it can be loosely related to your YT account. So in theory if no one else shared your link with the sharing code, it’s a strong signal to Google that werecat@lemmy.world is the same as the account that generated the tracking code.
Hopefully that makes sense, it’s something I try and spread far and wide because it’s not well known.
For others looking for a link without the tracker, it’s here for your convenience https://youtu.be/DlTNN0gvkLM
I tried visiting old.reddit.com yesterday and it was a redirect to a login page that appeared to be the modern ui. So I guess PC browsing is off the table, Reddit’s modern ui is trash.
Republicans are such unserious people. They just did it for a sound bite and the socials are seeing conservatives parrot Schmitt out of context and never show Klobachar
Anyone got a link to the propaganda video? I’m curious, but not so curious to dig it up.
It’s really a fucking shame what a group of pedophiles are doing to the USA and I don’t think their appetite will be satiated with just that one country (playing politics in Europe by the US oligarch is clue enough). Like I really am not optimistic but I hope the US gets their shit together, but maybe they can do something to stamp this shit out for themselves and the rest of us.
I used to love going to the states as a kid/teen on family trips, but don’t think I can ever bring myself to go back. I actively discourage friends and family to do the same. It’s not worth all the freedoms to end up in a box in El Salvador for making free expressive posts like this on public forums. But I don’t trust one iota that my rights would be upheld if I were targeted at a border with an illegal search of my phone.
Aha! So they’re small enough to fit into the tubes to block your internet traffic! Ingenious!
Someone’s angry lol.
I mean I’m angry at the billionaires too, but why be angry at me? I’m all about class consciousness and not feeding the machine… but me a) not being American, b) merely suggesting some goodwill from the massive resource extraction by the billionaire class. Why you hating the player and not the game?
I’m just trying to understand where the Epstein class lost their fear? Where are the third spaces like arboretums and libraries being built today by them? I don’t see it. Maybe they had fear back then because they had to see their neighbours faces everyday, now we’re so disconnected.
But yes, please attack me more it helps us so much.
