Opt in means they’re building up the infrastructure to make it opt-out when nobody is looking.

It’s the U.S. equivalent of cheap N. Korea propaganda videos.

Well just end up back here begging consumers to please use specific, non-corporate distribution forks of Linux rather than just Linux in general.

I just wish I could have my own personal AI that I could plug into everything, so I don’t need to subscribe to a bunch of separate things that are otherwise stupid for subscribing to. Something I have complete agency over and can run offline.

Good luck getting all the boomers off there.

Sunglasses? No. Literally the opposite. Those marks are what happen to your face when you never take off your quest headset.

Some instances filter which content comes through, which might concern some people. And email services offer different features these days, so people might assume the same of fediverse instances as long as we’re drawing that comparison.

I’m certain my YouTube feed is trying to radicalize me into some kind of culture warrior. It’s really annoying. I deleted all of my watch history to try and reset it and it just got way worse real quick. I watch one stupid video, now all I see are angry tubers upset that people don’t think exactly like they do and enjoy things they don’t.

Between Social, Run, and Artemis, I’m beginning to think kbin might be cursed. I’m on my fourth kbin instance, but have decided to revisit my lemmy account to enjoy some native ios app experiences again.

People have survived without tools like this for thousands upon thousands of years. I think we can afford to wait a few more until there’s a privacy-respecting method behind it. I know we won’t, but I’m sure we could have.

Couldn’t I just block whatever account throws in advertising?
