Are you suggesting that the algorithms for every website are pro-trump?

Algorithms mostly care about profit and user engagement.
Go check the front page of reddit and see how most political posts are about trump’s/america’s fuck ups.

They don’t ever browse the internet?
They never watch tv?
And they never have conversations with somebody who has?

I’d assume the average american has a rough idea of what’s going on. You’d have to try pretty hard to avoid it.

Of course people are going to prioritise their daily issues and the things that directly affect them, but don’t pretend that nobody ever gets spare time. There wouldn’t be multi-billion dollar media companies if that were the case.

It just seems like people prefer media consumption / escapism over education.

Yes! Another one is ‘the sniff’.
There’s been so many times when I walk past somebody and they do that weird outward sniff thing, like they want me to know they’re there.

Distrusting services from a country due to their government is not xenophobia.
It’s the same as avoiding chinese services because of their national policies.

I’d still happily welcome american and chinese people into my country.

Non-US is a start for now though, because they currently have the most control over the internet.
Plus the US government is currently exceptionally hostile to those who aren’t US citizens, so I have little reason to trust that they won’t abuse me or my data.

Ughh I fucking hate when this happens.
I get that you can’t load everything at once, but put some placeholder stuff there so the link I’m about to click doesn’t shift halfway down the page a millisecond before I click.

It has nothing to do with usage. It’s a restriction that’s imposed on the browser developers.

Mozilla themselves claim that this makes development harder for them.

By forcing developers to have the same limitations as their own browser, apple has made it difficult for competitors to gain an edge over safari.

Apple only allowed browsers on ios to use webkit, so they quite literally were holding back browser development.

This has only recently been changed, and it appears you can only use an alternate browser engine in the EU, so they are still holding back mobile web browser development for people in most countries.

Welcome to the club, buddy

True. Though that terminology also annoys me, considering we live on a globe.

Ah, gotcha.
Just researched a bit and noticed it’s an official term used by the UN.

It just sounds a little weird, as somebody from a southern nation that this doesn’t seem to apply to.

China is also in the northern hemisphere, so it also seems strange that it’s called ‘global south’.

Something like ‘low economic’ would have made a lot more sense to me, but I guess ‘global south’ is the official term.

What has capitalism done to the global south?
Is that just a metaphor, or are you literally talking about Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America and Antarctica?

Sorry, I’m just a little confused about what you mean.

I don’t think that’s guaranteed to be true.

A very old email of mine which I haven’t used in many years was in the breach.
None of my other email addresses were in there, so it’s highly unlikely that I was affected by this malware in the last decade.
That email has been in many other breaches however, so I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody who had access to an old dump was infected.
My money’s on some random skid who downloaded an old database dump and got infected when they downloaded some bad warez.

Either that, or this includes credentials from people who had the malware 15+ years ago.

I’d share it with you but it’s missing a few blocks

Crying about it being different isn’t baby duck syndrome; saying it’s better/worse compared to what you’re used to is.

People just don’t want to spend hundreds of hours re-learning things that already work for them.
It is objectively easier to stick with something you know than to learn something new, so that’s what most non-technical users do.

Pretty much everyone in IT should learn linux at some point though.

On the bright side, you might be able to cash in on some bug bounties.

And you sound like someone who is very quick to jump to conclusions without the full context.
They remove all hate speech, including any from actual nazi’s.
I don’t see how that makes anyone involved a nazi.

We’ll see who’s laughing after the government breaks through all of Google’s firewalls and hacks their mainframe!
They’re gonna need a lot of cyber-tape if they want any chance of stopping all the data from spilling through their firewalls.
And who knows how google would handle a cyber-nuke.

The government could get google to remotely install a system app that reads your encryption keys.
But it’s not like they’d do that….

Oh, what’s this? A new closed source app was just automatically installed on my phone.
“Android System Key Verifier”. Huh, I wonder what it does?

I agree with most of your points, and they should definitely look into getting more active moderators on their instance.

But I’m not sure I understand what you mean by safety?
They took less than 2 days, but the way you word it sounds like someone was going to die because the ‘content’ was up for more than 24 hours?

Idk, this whole thing just feels like an over-exaggerated response to something that could have been handled with a simple report.

Looks like the caterpillars have found their way to Lemmy…
