Yes, changing the status quo is going to require some sacrifice. But we have more to gain by seizing their wealth than we do by protecting our crumbs.

No, it’s sinophobic propaganda.

They pretend it’s to protect us from illegal activity, but it’s really to protect them from whistleblowers.

Microsoft has been steadily moving away from backwards compatibility and trying to be a one-stop shop for everything. They just want Windows to be focused on data collection and spying at this point. And your gaming data isn’t as valuable as you might think.

If they don’t have one for it already, they’ll just want to make a compatible Xbox app to run on Linux. If Linux can serve the gaming folks, and they get their data with an Xbox sign-in, it’s way less work and cost for them to keep Windows running the games well. I doubt they feel threatened at all.

Along with people being unhappy with Meta, and the looming TikTok ban, Pixelfed just now released apps for it.

Yeah, China doesn’t have jurisdiction over me. I don’t have to worry about the CCP showing up at my door to harass me for what I post. But it’s a very real threat from the US feds.

This story goes way beyond that. The police have been harassing him as well.

It’s one thing to ban him from your own platform. It’s another to make sure no one else can choose to do business with him either.

And they’ve been systematically shutting down anonymous email services.

Load up Brave with a tor connection, and try to sign up for anonymous email. When they can’t track you reliably, even the “anonymous” services require a confirmation email or phone number.

Thankfully no one cares when Forbes posts their hit list every year.

I think it’s supposed to be like old instagram.

Stop letting them borrow against it.

Stop shipping them weapons and funding it. It’ll end overnight.

The Washington Post published a guide encouraging and teaching users how to migrate to the platform.

But don’t take my word for it. Jump on and look around. It’s as crowded with neoliberals as Truth Social is with Red MAGAs.

Using multiple sources that support the same pro-western narratives means little. It doesn’t make a lie peddled by the IDF any better by delivering it through multiple outlets.

As I understand it. It’s just weird that this same guy was praising centralized authority at Facebook last week. Something seems off.

Wasn’t this same ceo criticizing Zuckerberg last week for shutting down fact checking?

Getting really mixed signals here. What’s with the back and forth on this guy’s approach to centralized authority?

Considering the people pushing bluesky are the same ones usually praising government surveillance, I don’t trust it for one second. Smells like a psyop honeypot.

Yep. Trump was always expected to deescalate. That’s why Biden immediately ramped up on every war front after Harris lost. They had to cram as much planned war in as quickly as they could.

I have an old college friend who’s a foreign service officer at the state dept. Right after the Harris loss, the state dept cancelled all leave, and called everyone in for this 3 month blitz. Gonna try to get some more info out of my friend, when he’s brought back in February.

This has been a Democrat crime spree. Wish there was any hope of the incoming admin holding them accountable, but I doubt they want to set a precedent for punishing war crimes before they start on their own.

Biden not only could have, but was also required by law to do so. Biden committed multiple domestic & international crimes to continue arming Israel, against the advisement of White House counsel.

So then save cash, set up a raid array, and get multiple proper backups running. You need to do steps 2 & 3 regardless.
