Yes, and I would be excited at the thought of joining your gang. My bike was just 125cc though and might not be able to keep up.

By definition, does Israel exist if it isn’t killing children?

I don’t think it’s ethical to follow this one, but I’m happy to see members of the genocide collective eliminated.

It is. But if you’re not aware of your psychological projections as an adult, this is the result.

Might as well say “Daddy issues right here”.

I think that’s a perfect way to put it.

I also see it as related to the paradox of tolerance.

Comments here are misunderstanding this analogy and this history. The oppressor is telling the oppressed in this case that violence is never the answer, and is the behaviour of a savage. Yet the oppressor maintains their power in exactly that way. Classic gaslighting.

I have this bookmarked from March 2025. I’ve yet to finish it, but wonder if it’s biased https://www.journalofdemocracy.org/online-exclusive/why-deepseek-is-so-dangerous/

It’s okay, we all have USB-C chargers now. /s

the point about showing skeptics this isn’t a hobby project is the real unlock here.

This is my conclusion too. These tools aren’t associated with meme distribution.

I’ve used Loops a lot, but not the analytics tool. When I say “analytics dashboard” to anyone who needs those tools, and I tell them there are over a million MAU they do perk up.

I don’t know what they do with that information, but they definitely get a first impression that ActivityPub (which is what I’m really promoting) is a serious and growing contender.

I say “crippled” because of the omission of services, the obstructionism over several years, the utterances designed to confuse people over the advice of the attorney general and the general haze of disinformation they created about our ability to act. It was pure bad-faith behaviour and rhetoric.

I think you’ve summed it up well. They have a 450,000+ strong voter base behind them. Their very transparent crippling of the OTB isn’t hurting them either.

MacNeil will be seen as tough and effective on malpractice in the health system now, so I think her image will remain intact with that voter base.

This is very alarming, and it’s not even a sensationalist article. Palestinians and other anti-genocide voices are being erased from platforms and now we’re helping it happen in Ireland and the EU.

And the IHRA definition of antisemitism we’ve signed up to seems absolutely ludicrous.

That’s a decent link, thanks. Unfortunately Mullvad get a good score there too. As you say, the shady extracurricular stuff is missing.

I do like what I read on their about page. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll dig a bit deeper.

The five million from Berntsson make up the majority – as much as 72 percent – ​​of the Örebro Party’s income last year. It is also the largest single private donation to a party in 2025.

The money also seems to have been the triggering factor for the party’s decision to stand in the parliamentary elections.

Fuck them. Not sure who to go with now. Paying monthly and not needing to remember to cancel were the main reason I used them.

Also, it seems safer to assume that all tech companies are rotten until proven otherwise.

Yeah, it could be much better. The reason I think it’s worth posting is because Loops.video has a record of doing what they say to a decent standard, so it’s not just wishful thinking.

These are the kinds of tools that people use to justify the use of big tech (well, audience reach too). Hopefully this is a cause for optimism.

I used to read a lot of crime and horror novels in my teens. I thought I’d heard it all but the pit of depravity seems to be bottomless. I’m so shocked and disgusted by the perpetrators and horrified for the victims.

How generous, to address a people by their proper title before erasing them from the earth.

The Palestinian flag is often banned, shadow-banned or otherwise ratiod on big-tech platforms and beyond. The watermelon came into use for this reason and has become associated with Palestinian resistance. It has become so synonymous that the movie producers Watermelon Pictures is named after it.
