@BlackRose I am wondering whether the increase of the AfD together with the actual momentum of extreme right wing parties in other countries can jeopardize the estability of European institutions after the next European elections.

@bathrobe I don't know about tiktok, but I think that it is the same data that Facebook collects. And the worst is what we have at the end, "Other Data". That means, each moment Meta can decide to collect yet more things without to inform the user.

@luna I was wondering why the name is weird. Maybe because I am not an English native speaker, but I don't find it not or less weird than lemmy or twitter...

@PabloDiscobar hi, just a problem of understanding. What do you mean with "american soft power leaking in every sub"?

@ernest @lavender

@chaogomu Right:

• Putin's regime looks weak... to negotiate with a private company to avoid that their attack the capital of the country (a private company, not the NATO, not a bit terror organization) looks not really good.
• The Russian army doesn't seem to be able to defend the Russian territory from the incursion of an organized armed force (able to occupy in hours a town with more than one million inhabitants)
• Wagner doesn't look now as a company in which future stakeholders can trust, and trust is the base of the work of contractors.

I think it is embarrassing for everyone involved.

@LollerCorleone @entropicshart @endlessvoid

@endlessvoid And what is the goal? Now the results after the performance looks like;

• Putin and the actual regime are weak: armed contractors leave their positions, enter in national territory and occupied a bit town without that the army is able to stop them. At the end and for the first time Putin's regime negotiates publicly with an oppositional illegal armed force inside its territory. Result: the regime show weakness.
• Wagner as a contractor leaves the places in the line of combat and revolts against their actual employer: Result: Wagner cannot be trusted by future employers.
• Since Prigozhin is not more in Russia/Ukraine, and it has been exiled, the command chain and control on Wagner is not more stable. At the same time the Russian Army doesn't seem able to take control of it, at least outside of Russia/Ukraine. Which control does now Russia have about the contracts in Syria, Africa, etc?

To be a theater... it doesn't seem to have a goal. Everyone seems here to be a loser: Wagner not more a successful company, Putin not more the head of a strong regime, the Russian army not more able to defend their territory against a armed force (worse, against a private company, not even a country or a terror organization).

For me more than a theater it looks like symptoms of decadence.

@CorInABox
No perhaps. That was all the problem. It was a break of trust by the admins who attended this meeting, and then cannot do a lot to regain the trust since they cannot speak about the subject. Eben is unknown who attended meeting.
@LollerCorleone @kaladininskyrim

That would be ideal, it would be possible to consume meat keeping cruelty free standards. Hopefully it will happen soon.

@Mr_Jabroni
Considering the well-known privacy violations and surveillance practices of Meta/Facebook, it's not hard to imagine that one of their future actions, possibly sooner rather than later, would involve cross-referencing accounts in the fediverse with their own platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, and others. In Mastodon, users have the option to block instances, ensuring that those instances cannot access their data. However, we don't even have that level of protection here.
@LollerCorleone

@tchambers We need something similar for kbin.
There are already a lot of instances, but allmost all users are concentrated in just two instances.

@shepherd there is not an option yet, but it is in the plan.
