… Wait, Iceland doesn’t have an army?

…

Time to invade Iceland guys, they’ve had it far too good for a while now!

Either dead or a niche as it is now.

The problem from what I’ve read is most ads are inserted on demand in the stream when you first play/download a podcast and there’s no easy way for software to tell them apart, not to mention they’re usually location based which means the ads you get are likely different from what I get, and depending where you live you might not even get ads at all.

True, but otherwise I just type faster normally.

Tried using swipe typing before and honestly I’m just faster typing normally.

“People consuming anything that they”re told to consume… so, I am the villain because I’ve made myself one. And you will continue to consume these stories about me. Year after year, after year, for as long as I tell the internet that I am the villain. Stories that permeate and linger, and infect the minds of the ants. Influence the ants. Brainwash the ants. You are the ants,” he said.

Based motherfucker, knows the masses can’t stop consooming that hatebait.

Are you really surprised these gachas attract tons of horny teenage coomers with waifu baiting as a business model?

OP just revealed to us that they have never taken a hot shower in their whole life.

Sorry but the only that comes to mind is this:

Browser, I guess? Without one you’d be back to early 1990s home computing.

Sure, but there are those who say Moraes is overstepping with his demands. Quite frankly I don’t know what to say, all I know is that any loss for Musk is a win for me.

🤷‍♂️

Elon is trying to enforce his views over Brazil’s law. To force a crisis IMHO.

He’s trying to see how far he can push his bullshit.

There is, the “Marco Civil da Internet” states that a business that works in Brazil needs to respect Brazil’s law, and non compliance may trigger block in it’s service by ruling.

That’s the thing though, to my knowledge Twitter didn’t break any laws, they ignored an order to take down accounts from their website. You could make the argument that in ignoring that order they were going against the law, but that’s about it. And honestly, that’s not the first time that has happened, this time they just decided to block Twitter because Musk was being a little shit about it, again maybe this will serve as a precedent in the future.

It’s both. The western economy is in a slump, people are getting disillusioned and that creates the perfect environment for populist ideas like Fascism to pop-up. The right has wisely noticed the power of social media and they’ve been flooding the web with propaganda, couple that with bad-faith actors like Russia taking advantage of the situation and you’ve got yourself a bunch of young, gullible people with no positive outlook for the future being dragged into all sorts of extremism with false promises of change for the better. Not to mention all the boomers coming out of their closets as full-on fascists now that the right has been extremely vocal in favor of said views.

Libertarianism is a right-wing ideology though, it’s pro corporate deregulation and lasseiz-faire capitalism. If you’re pro individual freedom, but opposed to right-wing ideas then the closest thing you can be is an Anarchist.

Ok, but there isn’t anything in the Brazilian body of law that says social media needs to have legal representation in the country to be functional, otherwise TikTok, Reddit and even Lemmy would’ve been blocked long ago, that’s the argument being made. That said, nothing like this has ever happened before, so maybe this could serve as a precedent for a new series of legislations.

Honestly, I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, that’s the government reaching waaaay beyond what it should without any real laws to back it up, on the other hand, fuck Musk and if this is what it takes to keep gullible people off nazifascist misinformation and propaganda then 🤷‍♂️.

I’m guessing they mean regional subsidiaries, Brazil is big, but not that big.

Pains me to no end that the only somewhat decent local RSS reader available for desktop nowadays is Thunderbird. All I want is a simple, no-frills attached local RSS reader that doesn’t make me run a whole server service just to fetch a feed.

I usually leave them. Not really sure why.

SPOOKED YA!
