I have not read the news in a really long time just cause paywalls are annoying as frick.

It’s not even about propaganda it’s not having it until their thumb, they can’t push a button and ensure the top video under trans on every search is Matt Walsh, and yeah on all other major platforms if you search trans people critical of trans people pop up. The reasoning isn’t popularity or engagement, the US government has ordered them to do it through backroom tax deals and Slapp orders. Next stop for the US gov is gonna be the fediverse and AT proto, they are gonna argue that not just anyone should be trusted and that running a social media server is a big task. security blah blah children, protecting your data. Than lass a bill require you to obtain an FCC license to host your own social media site. It only gets worse from here folks

I fucking hate them so much honestly. They can’t even keep my data safe and they are overcharging me so much lmao.

as a gen zer myself I would follow it up with WHY? give me a reason WHY. I don’t really see a difference between instagram groups and signal groups. I think what it is for most people is some lame app they will download for only that specific purpose. The only reason why iMessage is popular is it’s the default. If the EU passed a regulation to force Apple to have a default messager that only supported SMS, and iMessage to be a separate appstore app, or even just an extension for the messages app. it would die within a year. Meta groups are only popular cause they are tired to 2 of the biggest social platform being facebook and instagram.

I love how covid is growing and we are still with this back to the office bullshit.

Not to mention none of this will actually protect children. When I was 14 I told an adult online about my life and they helped me make it through some rougher periods until I got to 18. I know the internet is highly imperfect but I think gate keeping kids out of it will just lead to more underground abuse and abuse that they don’t find was abuse until they are adults.

I love how this “sticking it to big tech” is also funded by big tech. The general goal of someone like Facebook with this legislation is pass a bunch of rules that only large companies like them can comply with, and watch mastodon instances and other attempts to detrown them end in FBI raids and more regulations.

Ugh I always knew the college board was sketchy, this is a whole different level of exploitation.

Why should some people be allowed to be rich but not most people?

Ugh “free speech” IE you can debate random trans people just trying to live their lives. Twitter always had some level of free speech. Neat though that anonymous login kinda works!

Oh cool!

Why can’t the steam deck run COD exactly? Is Microsoft trying to ship it as some alien UWP app

Mine seems to intergreat, has the KDE title bar and such, rather than Firefox which is just the GNOME ones

QT is the gui framework that all KDE apps are built in

Yeah my instance did this yesterday 100%

To all the people here screaming about SMS bad! I feel like for me signal was like an iMessage for android, like one could get their family to use it by just replacing their SMS app with it. It just worked. With a seperate app its like useless cause most people dont seem to care about end to end encryption and just want to use 1, maybe 2 apps. Yes SMS is horrible but it helped with adoption cause it was the app you could just get your same text messages in but if the other person had signal you had more features. Similar to how iMessage works

I wonder, part of doesn’t think they can kill https , TLS stuff which is important. They are likely gonna target E2EE, rather than client to server.

I wish there was an app liked newpipe for tiktok ugh maybe one day

I use simple SMS anyway, I honestly would love to see a modern dailer for degoogled android. I wonder if we could get the little verified caller checkmarks on a Foss dailer app
