As Chromium monopolizes the market they’re able to push anti-user updates because sites don’t care. It’s down to Firefox or Chromium-based browsers. Firefox is basically the only thing that’s kept Chrome from straight up removing adblocking capability and the like.

yakubian ape always gets me

idk if it has other capabilities, but to use on android basically just install it from the play store then install a bunch of community plugins for various sites. torrient io scrapes most public trackers

can cast to TVs too if your phone/tv has the capability

huh i was gonna say i’ve heard queerwashing as well, but the wikipedia page only lists pinkwashing and rainbow-washing. may be a regional thing

they just allow cowards to express drive-by disagreement without actually voicing an opinion that might be challenged

dope experience tho, glad you got to go!

i’ve had a script in need of rewrite for like 5 years

i just keep duct taping and tweaking every time another thing breaks

at this point i barely understand the code anymore

it’s literally titled “temporary script until i fix the real one, 2018”

every accusation is an admission or whatever

like whenever the us economy is booming because line go up, all while a few million people are housing/food unstable

damn that’s way better

I think it’s very likely that profit-driven social media sites use fake accounts to boost their stats to advertisers and the like. Throw in corporations using fake accounts to sell shit as well as govt agencies using fake accounts to push their narratives, and the mainstream internet seems like a much more lonely place.

I’m so glad we federated. Can finally refocus our attention on libs instead of each other

Also this thread is a good summary: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1493599447904931847.html

In 2015, the North’s net appropriation from the South included:

• 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents
• 822 million hectares of embodied land
• 21 Exajoules of embodied energy
• 188 million person-years of embodied labour

To put these figures in perspective:

• 12 billion tons of raw material equivalents is 43% of the North’s annual material consumption. In other words, nearly half of the North’s material consumption is net appropriated from the South.
• 822 million hectares of land (more than twice the size of India), would in theory be enough to provide nutritious food for up to 6 billion people, depending on land productivity and diet.
• 21 Exajoules of energy would be enough to cover the annual energy requirements of building infrastructure to ensure that all 6.5 billion people in the global South have access to decent housing, public transport, healthcare, education, sanitation, communication, etc.

In other words, all of this productive capacity could be used to provide for local human needs, but instead it is roped into servicing capital accumulation in the North. Patterns of net appropriation reproduce deprivation in the South.
