Pick a bank that use different sercives

both because they’re not responsible for this shit show

Nobody is forcing them to use mastercard and visa services

visa and mastercard should be free to do what they want with their services. Pick another payment method.

You can try to have a serious discussion where you want but don’t expect to get anything much serious out of comic strips and memes.

Why are you all trying to have a serious discussion under a comic strip?

Wi-Fi mesh might be possible with neighbors, but mitm is extremely likely.

While not secure it could still provide a free and censorship-less alternative to the internet

Frankly, the answer should be for every site to just cut the UK off entirely.

Tech corporations own most popular and visited websites/services, they are not going to do it. That said you have countries with major websites blocked like russia or china, while it upset many people censored internet is also a strong tool to brainwash people so don’t assume a blockage would lead to a positive outcome.

The main thing to do is remain calm, make it a key voter issue, and watch the bastards fold right before the next election.

What’s your plan to make it a key voter issue? Lamenting about it on censored internet?

We need bulletproof alternatives and solutions.

It’s good that people are exposing manipulation and the corporations behind it but it’s quite useless to do it on a heavily censored and already manipulated platform like reddit. I would also like to remember everyone that a bunch of people paid to work 8h a day could rig lemmy in a day, if you don’t stop upvoting memes and stupid subs evil corporations like palantir are going to feast on lemmy.

it’s already a surveillance state and both the red and blue party are complicit.

It’s not just the red administration, all the government is rigged and most politicians are criminals.

Closed source, centralized and not even free…

Lemmy frontpage is always filled with stupid and useless news about this guy. If this post doesn’t reach the top there are either bad actors manipulating votes or you are all a bunch of bootlickers.

AI “guardrails” is even a bigger tool governments can use to dismantle democracy and kill freedom. The article starts by quoting the pope who isn’t even a democratic ruler, he gets appointed by cardinals who are appointed by the previous pope. AI could have wrote a more useful article.
