It’s about power. At my last employer, they were making so much fucking money that they knowingly lost money on paying for these surveillance systems. They just enjoy the feeling of having total and complete control over our lives.

Seriously. Anna archives, libby. There are so many open source projects out there for the ereader community

Don’t use kindle? They aren’t the only ebook provider

It’s a good piece of hardware. I do the same thing. Although I recently got a Kobo and I gotta say that I do prefer the kobo slightly better. Kindle is still good shit though

It’s going to remove all individuality and turn us into a homogeneous jelly-like society. We all think exactly the same since AI “smoothes out” the edges of extreme thinking.

Haha that’s very true. Same concept as signing up for a specific email provider. Hadn’t really thought of that.

It’s why my less “tech savvy” friends won’t join. They don’t understand what federation is, and No they don’t want to take 2 minutes to learn.

It’s annoying, but it’s reality. People don’t understand the whole different servers thing, federation, and how to pick one.

I realize marketing isn’t a strong suit (nor should it be), but I’m proposing two solutions (well maybe not solutions, but something to help):

• A quick animated video showing the benefits of Lemmy and how this all works (if it hasn’t already been done yet)

• A service that basically simplifies and centralizes the signup process to one screen. During server selection, users can see the most populated servers and click on them to learn the specific rules for the server, etc.

Idk, maybe we already have all this…or this is just complicating the issue. Or maybe we only want people willing to take 2 minutes to learn about how it all works. Tbh that’s a pretty good natural filter for the types of users I want to be interacting and discussing with.

News station finds that AI is unable to perform the job of a news station

Remember when Americans make fun of China because the government censors and controls what you can say online? Yeahhhh……

Yes please support annas-archive!! It is a wonderful project. I can essentially get an epub file for any book (including banned books) I want. They have so much more than that too.

I thought that was Chris Pratt for a second. And wondering why we wanted a lidar enhanced photo of Chris Pratt’s face from a kilometer away.

Yes this is actually exactly how they want to present themselves. More donor money from guess who?

You’ve actually had to pay a huge fine?

Ruh roh!

The metadata. The message content is E2E, but the data about the content isn’t necessarily e2e.

I swear some people here just need to argue and be upset with something.

It can always get worse! 🥰
