Genuine question: What are you using?


And yet another piece of software I have to abandon because of this dipshit cult behaviour.
Thanks guys. You really just went ahead and put your dick in it.


Your account is 2 months old.
You called me “dense”.
Not really in a position to opine there.


Ok chief. Because it really reads like you just said that in the comment above.


How’s that working out for you, chief?
… But more sensibly, the argument you are using enables corporations to steal the work and labour of individuals.
It is the argument that means only middle class wealthy individuals get to make art.
It’s a shite argument, and it’s been debunked a ton of times.


I don’t think pithy means what you think it means.


So, something is only theft if it is profitable?
That’s a wonderfully liberating new definition.


This isn’t piracy though.
They aren’t consuming media. They are reselling it.
They aren’t downloading a film to watch or “illegally” accessing a text.
They are using the unpaid labour of other humans as their product and will gouge the rest of society for it through entertainment media, civil infrastructure and healthcare.
Whilst your pithy, cliched statement is fun to throw around when we talk about torrenting a marvel movie, it’s completely useless in this context.


That’s probably because Google are deliberately nerfing your viewing because you are using an ad blocker.
They tell you as much in the little pop up.


You can chose to hide posts.
That might be based on a keyword, for example, “Trump”, or based on tages such as NSFW.
You can always chose to see these posts again.


What client are you using?
On Voyager there is a tab at the top to switch between all and “home”. Home is just the subs you subscribe to.


And that’s all cool… But it is weird to take that choice away from users.
Much like here, a quick browse of all introduces me to a wider world with different concerns. It’s how I find stuff.
And I’m pretty sure what you do is possible here… What are you having a problem with?


I found out today that they have removed r/all from the mobile platforms.
The one unifying feed… Heaven for it folk experience consensus media or have a shared experience.
By slicing it all up they can tweak individual algorithms to push more jank than ever. No longer do they have to game the system to get AstroTurfed Ads on the front page.
Actually, didn’t they used to call themselves the “front page of the internet”? How does that work if no one sees the same page?


“There are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user’s VPN runs on Linux or Android.”
So there are ways.

I mean it’s pro-privacy, but that’s hardly anti-AI.
