So proud to have discovered the fediverse xD

Fuck the alphabet

Use microdots

Hail Skynet

What country doesn’t do fingerprinting? The entire world seems about the same in terms of surveillance.

You have the same mindset of an average American. “Not my country, I don’t care if people die there”

How high is your proposed number?

Why is Big = Bad?

Proton have over 100 million users.

Do we fine Proton AG for a bunch of shitheads abusing their platform and sending malicious email? How do they detect it if its encrypted? Force them to backdoor the encryption?

Disagree. Without Section 230 (or equivalent laws of their respective jurisdictions) your Fediverse instance would be forced to moderate even harder in fear of legal action. I mean, who even decides what “AI deception” is? your average lemmy.world mod, an unpaid volunteer?

It’s a threat to free speech.

Right now I don’t have a reddit account and I just lurk there, but if I really wanted to talk about, say, a specific TV show I like, or a Movie, or Anime, or a Book… that would not exist on the fediverse. It’s either just Reddit or maybe Discord.

If I wanna talk about stuff from a non-white perspective, the best place I’d really find my people outside the great firewall is Reddit.

I mean I the amount of Cantonese-speakers on Lemmy is like… single-digits

US Public Schools messed with me so much, partially contributed to my depression (amongst various other factors)

Don’t forget to bring your copy of Chairman Trump’s little thin-blue-line book when you leave the house, patriot! Otherwise the little 'murica-guards will get you!

But isn’t that stupid tho. Like they should want their military officers to be using the most secure OS.

But then again, its funny to see them make stupid decisions.

Welcome to:

People’s Republic of America

美利坚人们共和国

Long Live Chairman Trump

Maybe he reign a thousand years!

But what if the universe isn’t real, what if I’m just a lab-grown brain attached to a computer? 🤔

Theres a form of poetry called 反诗 that’s basically covertly hiding meaning into poems that criticizes the authorities. In ancient times, scholers would write these poems.

You could also like hide meaning by reading it like acrostically or like diagonally.

Here: (A very amateur freeverse “poem”)

天下如此广佛 (The world such vast)
平安京城广场 (Peaceful Beijing Plaza/Square)
达到门下停歇 (Resting in the Square [the Tianamen Square, that is])
兴旺的大都市 (Prosperous Big Capital City)
满路的游徒看 (The roads filled with tourists sightseeing)
这风吹满地沙 (This wind blowing the sands all over the place)

Read diagonally (the highlighted characters)

You get:

天安门大徒沙 (Tian An Men Da Tu Sha)

Which in Mandarin sounds exactly like

天安门大屠杀 (Tiananmen Massacre)

Voila! Thanks for coming to my TED Talk on “How to hide meaning in poetry” Lesson 101, by a random Chinese-American Nerd (me).

So we are getting that UBI, right? Right?

👀

Pfft, I have 12 firewalls, good luck decrypting these. 🤓

You can already see an example somewhere…:

iPhone, iOS, China, Great Firewall, VPN Apps. (VPN apps can’t be found in China’s version of the Apple App Store) And of course, it’s iOS, it already doesn’t have “sideloading”.

Westerners pay attention, because that’s the future we’re getting. The Splinternet and the end of Freedom.

I mean most “free” stuff isn’t literally free, it would be more correct to say its socialized, tax-payer funded.

public transport tickets

should be free

Coming soon, NYC ETA. 2026

Can’t call yourself a desktop when you can’t even install a .apk without google’s permission

CAKE DAY! I see your cake logo xD
