only some people are dicks; the question is whether or not we give them power over us to push their dickish ways unto us like we do today under capitalism.
but I did log into my Google account
I did log into Windows 11 with my Microsoft account.
both google and microsoft are constantly slurping your data (including ip addresses and browser fingerprints) to sell to sites like reddit and they make a TON of money off it. i know for a fact that reddit buys google's analytics and that could explain whey it took a couple of days to catch up with you.
I don’t track every IP address I’ve ever used.
sites like reddit do keep track of your ip address via automated means and this is another way they can track you
There’s just WAY more content on Reddit that you can’t get on Lemmy.
is that content still worth it despite knowing that you're supporting the consent manufacturing that enables endless wars and genocides like the gazans or perpetuating the capitalist profit motives that makes things like housing and eggs so unaffordable for us?
i know that it seems like your contributions to this dystopian system feels negligible at most and likening reddit usage to it feels specious; but then again the drop of rain would never feel responsible for the flood if it could and, after all, it's only rain.
you're conflating slavery with the slave trade and nations with people.
both are reprehensible, but the barbarity of the slave trade that americans engaged in is on an entirely genocidal & morally bankrupt level than the slavery practiced by some native americans and its practice was relagated individual members of native americans; not entire nations.
democrats had full control from 1993–1995, 2009–2011, 2021–2023 and majority control from 2011-2015 & 2023-2024. in other words: 12 years of complete or majority control out of the last 33 years.
every single time their agenda was thwarted by one or two lone dissenters within their caucuses; where republicans completely steamrolled over their own dissenters.
My job requires me to work w KVM/QEMU utilities on x86 architecture and utm is dog slow since I have an m2 MacBook.
Instead I use ssh into X86 servers; hence the keyboard mapping woes
Democrats unwillingness to listen to their fellow Democrats costed the last election and will cost others
did you use the same websites on brave that you normally use?
did you use a different operating system?
did you use a brave account on it?
did you verify that your vpn was using an exit point ip address that you've never used before every single time you accessed reddit?
most importantly: why bother using reddit?
which one(s) haven't been and why weren't they?
detoriation of their gui is a great way to put it; i've been using mac's on and off for since 2004 and their gui used to be top notch, but it it feels that all the user experience changes that have been foisted upon mac's gui is done so without consideration for their original gui's so now they're in this strange, semi-working state.
i hadn't thought of that; thanks for the idea!
don't forget about aoc; she's on board with it too.
you owe it yourself to read up on american political history and; if you did; you would learn that every time they've had control of all 3 branches of government; they've squandered it by letting a one or 2 democrats derail all of their plans, meanwhile republicans steamroll over their own dissenters every time they're in control.
you'd start to see that this pattern keeps happening again and again.
-- and most will unwittingly help in the bone-ing process by unkowingly repeating american propaganda and buying into manufactured consent.
-- and the taxes. lol
me too; i fully expected them to fold on decouping with china
history suggests that we'll take genocidal action whenever the american empire needs something, so i'm certain that the military industrial complex will not be the ones getting fucked.
I switch between multiple desktops w one dedicated to the terminal and dragging doesn't seem to work when switching to another desktop
I use vim; hence the difficulty w remapping the keys and the Mac's belong to my employers.
I would never buy a Mac and I only use Linux so it doesn't make sense to grow accustomed to Mac's quirks; especially so since only every other employer provides Mac's.
It definitely has a message that runs contrary to to all of his previous videos and I presume it's got something to do w his recent American media consumption.
He's not the only one who seemingly switched narratives in the last few days and I unsubbed him too. I'm a bit glad for it since it helps narrow down whom I should try to keep following after tiktok gets banned... Again.
Bernie & AOC
Funny representation of what's happening w Bernie & AOC's attempts to rally the Democratic party back into the prior status quo. Lol
can't confirm email
i updated my email address in my efforts to de-google myself and i got the email asking to confirm my new email address; but when i do it it just hangs.
how can i find out if my new email address took?
Future Proofing Server
my home server needs to be reconstructed and i'm seeking ideas on how to future proof it. here's some ascii art in a screenshot to help describe how it's currently setup:
description (left to right):
- laptops, smartphones, tables, etc connect to an access point configured on a windows 10 virtual machine (vm). the windows10 vm uses pci passthrough on the wireless adapter and this is done to get gigabit wifi speeds since intel's drivers won't allow linux to do this in ap mode; but will allow it just fine if you're using windows.
- requests from the wifi clients are passed via dns & ip masquerade to another virtual machine based on pfsense
- pfsense serves as the router, firewall, vpn, ad blocking & web hosting and it's also configured to use pci passthrough on the primary network interface to gap internet traffic from the server
- the cente
luigi felt like he was poor
FASCINATING AF perspective suggesting that luigi is a member of the class that benefits from our system, but rejected it out of ignorance because he (and most younger people like him of that class) identify with the systematically violated poor due to luigi (and others like him) mostly not consuming the mainstream, legacy media that re-enforces the system.
due to this, the real danger for the ruling class is not he 99%; but rather their younger generations who are siding with the violated poor out of ignorance that they will inherit the reigns of this system because the ruling class has focused so much on sending the message that the system is invincible to the poor, that they unwittingly have given their own younger generation the same message thanks to the internet & social media.
each time the ruling class responds with zealously overwhelming force to protect the system and shore up that sense of invincibility; it becomes more self-defeating since it prods their younger generation
Corporations scramble to provide protection against threat of copycat killings following Brian Thompson’s murder
“It’s a huge wake-up call. The mood changed dramatically in a very short period of time,” Seth Krummrich, Global Guardian’s vice-president, told CNN.
no it's not; you were just too disconnected.
Obtaining Certification ID's
I was certified on a couple of ubiquity products a few years ago and i've collected so many certifications over the last 20ish years that i can't remember which ones they were.
does ubiquity have a way of letting you look it up?
In more news from Capitol Hill, lawmakers have barred the U.S. State Department from citing death toll figures provided by the Gaza Ministry of Health. Ahead of Thursday’s vote, Congress’s lone Palestinian American lawmaker, Democrat Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, read into the Congressional Record the ...
Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”
Bill Makes Gaza Genocide Protests Illegal
The House has passed legislation that would establish a broader definition of antisemitism for the Department of Education to enforce anti-discrimination laws.
hr-6090 will make criticizing isreal illegal including the protests. it’s already passed the the house and biden has signaled his support for it. i wonder why this isn’t on lemmy already since it’s been a thing for a month so far.
