@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social the way the state is intentionally mismanaging this, like most other things, it isnt too difficult to conclude that the state wants people to think gas station hotdogs are healthier than vegetables. I mean that is what the "health and human services" secretary thinks.

@d1@autistics.life hell yeah! I lost one router because I couldn't get WRT on it, so now I'm using an older linux machine with 2 nics while I work on acquiring another WRT compatible dedicated router. Also still have a working DVD ripper with a couple spindles of disks, and we are buckling down for the long haul. I'll turn off the net if I must, or just do mesh / ham shit.

@d1@autistics.life like many have said, I dont have control over linkedin and facebook, and I never had whatsapp, instagram accounts. And I dont see amazon in that list, and amazon is a giant pile of invasive, labor exploiting, planet destroying shit. We havent used amazon since 2014. And no more google, period, including THE SMARTPHONE. No smartphones in our home. No bullshit ISP appliance routers on my counter, either. I run my own router.

I've abandoned the smartphone and all "appy" thingies, windows, etc, and would be willing to actually disable the internet itself if this gets too dodgy and adversarial. I won't spend the next decades of my life fighting and analyzing and checking and rechecking software to catch every attempt to violate my privacy, ill simply disconnect. Full stop. I've been in tech close to 40 years, and disconnecting sounds... idyllic by now.

@no_brainer@sueden.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org grid failures, here in norcal anyway, are by design. Literally. I even worked for the law firm that... helped deregulate and steal pg&e from the public back in the 90s. I've watched as *everything about pg&e* has gotten SO MUCH WORSE in the last couple decades since, including the fires, rolling blackouts, GIGANTIC bills, etc. Our bill went from max $300 to $900 in ONE SUMMER because of datacenters, under-built capacity, etc.

@alexanderdelarge@mastodon.bida.im @gwynnion@mastodon.social in Italy parents have no control over ethics in school? How can Google force public schools in a European country to use their garbage surveillance systems on children? This doesn't make sense. My children would never use google, school or no school, and we would fight any system that tried, whatever it takes.

@Lightfighter@infosec.exchange @gwynnion@mastodon.social it does, 100%. If you are hooked on google's products in some way, find a way to un-hook yourself. This "cost of switching" thing is a modern problem and it isnt real. I mean, if people want to 1) stay alive, 2) have a future, 3) have a planet, then they need to find alternatives, understand what general action is, what real boycotts are, and away we go. Or, we can continue pretending its too hard or that we each cant stop because someone else keeps using it.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org a record for california maybe, but not the world. There are 1.4 billion people in china, and china's solar, wind, etc projects dwarf that of the entirety of america, increase by double digits every few years. Meanwhile our energy bills have never been higher, grid failures never more frequent,so where is this number coming from anyway? This doesnt jive with living in california, lol.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social simple solution. Stop using google products. We havent touched any of that in 10+ years at this point, and will never be looking back. Its a paradigm of computing we simply never engaged in. Ill go back to my pre internet life if I must, simply because *I know how to do that*. I Hope more people also know how to live without it all because its *obviously* time to boycott all of this.

@0x00string@infosec.exchange sell said. Supporting laissez-faire capitalism is not a leftist position, and all those who do support it are in the right spectrum. Center-right/right, and it maddens me for decades of my life to hear all the "confusion" about what left/liberal/right mean. Ages ago the media shifted the spectrum to alienate socialists and anarchists, and its been so long its just stubbornly baked in.

@Hoodedman@universeodon.com he's part of a 2000 year old divide and conquer cult that became a "religion". That cult and the kings who maintained it long ago set in motion a propaganda "bible" meant to offer opportunities for medieval conquest and "biblical prophecy", of course. After all, kings rule by "Divine Right", so obviously they would know which land on the earth was promised to whom. And when land is promised by a white male god, all holocausts against the indigenous are handled by "prophecy".

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social the right, widely known to be antisemitic, use *antisemitism* a weapon against other groups, similarly to how they use "protect the children" to gain power despite having a massive incest and child sex abuse problem throughout the right-wign dominated spaces. Its grotesque, it is medieval, and this form of damaged, dangerous, terroristic culture must leave our species once and for all.

When I try to register at the state park site I get this, though: "AuthSdkError: Could not load PKCE codeVerifier from storage. This may indicate the auth flow has already completed or multiple auth flows are executing concurrently." Cant log in, cant reserve a pass. : / Maybe they are overloaded.

This ship of propaganda sailed years ago, and the whole world can see the genocidal israeli state attempting to use america against Iran, over and over. Its entirely out in the open now, and companies like facebook would make this sort of thing easier, not harder.

@mcnado@mstdn.social yikes. Now republicans and democrats have finally found their common ground: starving, slaughtering, supporting regimes that starve/slaughter *children* and pretend they deserved it. This is what I've been worried about for 30 years: both sides of the laissez-faire capitalist oligarchy realizing they are the same side. Dont like this comment? Stop supporting "lesser evil" genocide candidates, and then we can talk.

@xeroxerox We've been masking and distancing for 6 years and counting, and we are impervious to the judgements of others, if they would try. We are all doing the right thing, and while its sad that so many arent, *we are doing the right thing* and there is copious evidence to confirm this. Some days I see zero masked people when Im forced into safeway. Some days I see dozens, across all demographics. Its day by day, but we are 100% masked and I *dare* some fucker to confront us about it.

If you feel the need to eat up US state department narratives like flies gobble shit, such as calling the proxy conflict between Russia/Ukraine, which is funded, supported. and partially operated BY US forces, a "genocide", I will mock you and block you with a quickness. Do NOT water down the concept of genocide.

Frankly this level of misinformation and callous disregard for the ACTUAL GENOCIDES being caused by the wealthiest countries on earth should be a bannable offense by instance admins.

@foone "smart" tvs and/or the dongles are the worst. It isnt even real 4k. Streaming services long ago realized they didnt want to pay their own bandwidth charges, and also they wanted people with crappy ISPs to still buy 4k streaming packages, so they compressed the living shit out of 4k streams. The data rate for a 4k stream is like 30mbit. The data rate from a 4k bluray over DP is between 50-144MB/sec, lol.

Use a lightphone with communication disabled when i doubt, or use offline recording devices to record evidence of unconstitutional abuses. We dont need easily surveilled smartphones, and folks need to start understanding this. There is nothing tied to apple, android, microsoft, etc, smartphones that is important enough for you to be subjugated through them by a totalitarian state.

@freediverx@mastodon.social @QasimRashid@mastodon.social it took me a while to understand that, but I've learned this the hard way. As a young person I always thought neoliberals were 'the left', as the media told me they were. So I told people I was a liberal for a while until I realized liberals are warmongers and colonizers and base capitalists who try to explain away human rights violations in slightly different terms than people who call themselves right wing. Liberals are part of the right wing spectrum, not left.
