FYI, I link to two earlier reports on this problem (2017 and 2019) in a tweet from 2020.

Eventually people are going to need to admit that the internet is very much so a real and impactful part of our lives.

it would be so nice to just be like "yep I'm gonna switch off from it all and ignore them to make the world easier to deal with" but doing that just gives them the breathing room to expand

this week has just generally been a very tiring week for world news. the rate at which fascists are infiltrating popular culture is just exhausting
@bmann These kind of "ah, but are you hypocrites?! let's see" mind games are completely unnecessary. "Open-source" things depending on corporate infrastructure is a thing that is *frequently* criticized on here, by much the same people as Wildebeest is now.
As for the second part: Cloudflare's whole business model is EEE. As others have said, "corporations do not get the benefit of the doubt", and that is doubly true for one with such a long track record of EEE.
@bmann And that "lots of other [supposedly] open-source things are built on proprietary systems" is a huge problem, actually, but somehow people always defend it through circular reasoning by pointing at the other things that are *equally* bad as a justification
@bmann @alasaarela@equel.social That is not where the considerations end. Cloudflare in particular is a known bad actor. Learning from past cases of EEE is instructive here.

seeking porn advice abt partners
iiiiiiiii need some advice from other amateur porn people who have shot with partners. i want to shoot porn with someone. obviously there are collabs if i find someone else interested and then we find a way to share.
but i don't live near many porn people
can i just bring in a grindr dude who offers to "film together" and keep all the footage to myself as long as i cut identifying features out of it?
should i be paying them? if so how much?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but... really? *None* of the gaming media has picked up on the overtly antisemitic plot of Hogwarts Legacy?
How can you call yourself a journalist and not have at least a basic capability of recognizing nazi propaganda
re: instance subtoot
Imagine having so little imagination that you just cannot conceive of people organizing something without being a ~corporation~...
instance subtoot
oh look, the linkedin instance guy is tooting about how we need corporations if we ever want fedi to amount to anything

I hate thinkers
philosopher-thinker types of guy love these wildly-contrived morality scenarios in which they can whittle an oppressive system down to its most niche possible use case to try and justify the entirety of that system. and they do this rather than accept that you could fundamentally alter the system and do away with the problem at least 99% of the time.
probably because they're unwilling to change or literally cannot conceive of doing anything different, and will go to unhinged argumentative extremes either to excuse some truly heinous bullshit or accidentally do so along the way

@vultureculture I heard something once that has always stuck with me.

One of the wilder realizations in transitioning is how many of my cis women friends are more afraid of publicly wearing skirts, dresses, etc, and presenting more feminine in general, than I am. Like even in semi-private spaces with just friends, or explicitly safe spaces.
Society managed to fuck all us girls up good.

ChatGPT writes 15% longer and more critical performance feedback for women employees. It aso relies on stereotypes to choose pronouns. Examples: kindergarten teacher, nurse and reception = "she". Mechanic and construction workers = "he".

A server is a highly advanced machine, and when paired with a developer it can seamlessly convert immense amounts of electricity into stacktraces.

"I know you," said Alice. "Are you to present me with a puzzle? Perhaps one of you tells the truth and the other lies?"
"Oh no," said Bingle-Dum.
"We both lie," added Googl-E.
"But there must be a clue," pouted Alice. "For how else am I to tell when to trust what you say?"
"That's the point!" laughed Bingle-Dum.
"We don't know when we're telling the truth either!" said Googl-E, finishing the other's sentence.
