Unfortunately a lot of our peers are also tech illiterate :(

Things like using surveillance to figure out when your payday is and raising prices (just for you, and just on that day) because you psychologically are more willing to spend in that moment

There are already smaller appviews that use the existing hosting/authentication infra, but bypassing the bsky appview aggregation. Nothing with any real scale but for example there is a barebones reddit/hackernews equivalent https://frontpage.fyi/

Because we live in a capitalist hellscape and the companies that implemented these tricks were the fastest growing segment of our economy for like 15 years (esp after the 2008 crash) so the government turned a blind eye. Now they control the world and are able to literally buy politicians

That post refers to hosting an appview that does all the same things as the official bsky (the service) one, which involves a ton of storage and bandwidth and processing (for everyone’s recommendations, notifications, and all the other moving parts), and is closed source to boot.

Frontpage.fyi is a lot cheaper simply because its used by like 50 people tops.

Cuba is, like, right there. The prime example of what happens when countries in the western hemisphere try to enter into military alliances with non-us countries such as the soviet union

Do you have a link to further reading on how it was sabotaged?

Odessa massacre? I’m a pinko sympathizer and try to hear out so called “tankies” because they often have a point. but it is just ahistorical to call it a massacre. There is video footage of the pro maidan protesters bringing construction scaffolding to the building to help people escape.

No, in general i take a dim view of supremacist/essentialist ideology. However I’ve seen entire servers on Lemmy described as tankie, but haven’t run into anyone on here getting called a white supremacist. I imagine mods take care of those pretty quick.

The fact that the difference between Kamala and convict was so small is enough grounds by itself imo
