I’m only letting my latest Brother printer connect to my computer through the USB cable. No Internet connection at all.

Reddit is just a bunch of bots, jerking each other purple. They don’t have any content worth locking.
I also recommend downloading StreetComplete, which lets you contribute to the OpenStreetMaps database.

Expel them to WHERE? Or were they just planning for all the Gazans to just keel over and die? Rubio is such a tool.

Banks are not willing to shoot themselves in the ass for Trump. They would fight to the end to hold onto that sweet transaction money.

This. I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.
I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.
It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:

“Jesus didn’t have electricity.”
Jesus didn’t live in Vermont in the middle of winter, either, you idiot.

When a writer copies someone else’s work without cites or compensation, it’s called “plagiarism.” But when an AI does it, it’s called “LLM training.”

“The government shouldn’t be complicit in harming students or impeding parents’ ability to decide what their kids see by subsidizing unsupervised access to inappropriate content,”
Like Fox News or OAN.

This. Eventually, some billionaire will buy up BlueSky and make it shitty. It’s much harder for one person to take over a defederated platform, spread out over hundreds of instances in several countries.

The ADL’s job used to be to protect Jewish people from discrimination. Now, it’s pretty obvious they exist to protect the policies of the Israeli government.
So if your government is current engaged in a slaughter, who would rather have on your side in the U.S. government? An apartheid-loving fascist or someone who might actually criticize your actions?

Yup. If your employer uses the, “we’re all one big family” then you’re in for a real bad time.
Because sooner or later, they’re going to make you choose between their fake “family” and your real one.

The AI hardware isn’t for us. It’s for Google and Microsoft, so they can steal your computer’s CPU time and hard drive space so they can build their own personal Skynets. (Same thing with CoPilot, which requires 50gigs of your hard drive space. You’re also paying for the privilege of being spied on, which is nice for them, I guess.)
" . . . giving Rednote access to their data as a show of protest . . ."
That’s a special kind of stupid.
People were saying, “I grok Spock” long before Douglas Adams used the word.

This. The fact that u.s. police forces are infiltrated by racist sh*theads is one of the worst-kept secrets on Earth.
Once again, “if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing.”
