Corporate propaganda pushes 10,000 ads on the typical american per day.

This leads to the most psychologically optimized persuasion (see propaganda) on the Earth- except it's not just commerical but includes privately funded algorithmic political, but overt and subtle.

Much of American culture is advertising, branding and political posturing.

He's managed so far to have a pretty damning pile of evidence against him, to openly use the presidential office for personal financial gain (like billions, openly) to no avail. Even going as far as openly discussing no elections in 28'. It is playbook Russian propaganda tactics.

Which agency will physically remove the guy from the White House in 28'? If he captures that agency it's game over for democracy in the USA?

Passkeys are good if stores locally on the device. However, if used with a password manager the security benefit is lost, and thus actually weaker.

2fa, like Aegis for most people, or better yet Fido key for advanced users?

One day (communities, localities or government libraries) will again host public goods information with free access. Fighting intellectual monopoly is fighting for the return of local libraries (just the modern ones).

The absurdity that western governments fight archivists is beyond insane. They should be helping to distribute and host the data.

The half life of data is getting worse not better in the digital age. These pirates are doing the work of the public good and being vilified.

The content is distributed across numerous torrents. It's decentralized. Also there's a reason pirate bay is still up, while the other centralized players aren't.. . design distributed systems that aren't vulnerable to easy take downs.

Speed, security or cost, pick two.

So what did the redacted sections say.. .. .. anyone 🩻

Mega projects, no less with vanity as the centerpieces are a sign of weak militaries. The strong militaries are pursuing drone and anti drone technologies. Russian frigates warships are disabled by small Ukrainian aqua drones; and are hiding at port. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

What about an awards system built on top of the fediverse. To win the awards, most comments from country X or something like that. Instead of advertising, it acts as a hook for people to join the fediverse.

The worlds 5 shittiest countries. Top award countries:

Who killed the most people? Russia lost 1.3m of their sent to a pointless war and killed a few hundred thousand Ukrainians, also committed countless human rights abises

Best dictatorships who live well and fuck everyone else over? Maduro?

Shittiest reputation for being wreckless and stupid? USA?

Most underhanded and likely to commit next mass genocide? China (here's looking at you Mao- 65 million killed some estimates topping out at 150m, impressive)

 

How can I move a book I purchased a couple years ago from Amazon to my Kobo Clara. I absolutely refuse to pay for it a second time. I checked Anna's and it's not listed. I should check again though. Is their a way to rip it from Amazon? Also fuck Amazon.

Is their drm embedded with my personal information? I.e. if I get a copy of the drm book and do a shit job on Calibre, then upload to Anna's, am I personally liable?

 

How do you start a new community from the voyager app? I don't see the option/ ability anyplace? Does Lemmy.ml restrict that ability?

 

I really enjoy sci-fi that starts grounded in reality — that eases you in with a slow build, a sense of normalcy, before the shift. I love when the story begins in the everyday, then opens into something strange and vast. Think the beginning of The Matrix or Old Man’s War, perhaps? That kind of vibe. Any recommendations?
