Lemmy is full of friendly dictatorships, freedom of expression is allowed in most instances
An article on the subject
Yesterday I found an incredibly convincing fake of a ragepost (on Lemmy - couldn't find it again so sourced it from Facebook). Reverse analyzing the details revealed that the selfies were modified to increase duckface, a pile of cigarettes were added for the narrative, and an accompanying news report screenshot was expertly modified using two different articles and changing many details. I can't in good faith believe any social media meme after this:
All the selfie captions are fake.
Ya that's a very femme 'daddy' aha
Not at all toxic and loaded
In reference to the subject on Rossman's screenshot, that is an 8 year old scandal that was, AFAIK, never proven. What was proven, was an 11 year old report on emotional manipulation by then Facebook
I believe 'avatar' was generally changed to match Xbox and others using the term to describe full body digital expressions of the user, like the Xbox 360 avatars. I grew up knowing it as profile picture, but now I've changed my social messenger of choice to XMPP I'm seeing it referred to as an avatar again
It's a magical place
Matt must be Groening every time life imitates his art.
My main gripe is Windows Defender. I have an app that integrates with Home Assistant and Windows keeps flagging a component as a Trojan virus. Makes sense, as it's supposed to access admin level functions to read some sensors and enable remote power control.
But for years I've seen MsMpEng.exe, or the antivirus, constantly scan my 4TB HDD, either looking for viruses or doing some stupid NTFS remapping thing. It's loud and only spun up when idle on Win10, but became more aggressive on Win11 with less time to start scanning and not stopping when I move the mouse.
The latest development with breaking my app just means I'm more vigilant in turning the entire antivirus off when it turns on and starts scanning.
the policies of our partners
Lol I couldn't care less about the policies of a handful of pathetic old women, disconnected from reality, who live 17,000km away from me. I'll not have some crackpot old fools dictate my life. Their sphere of influence should never have extended past their little congregation.
A Punk Rock Christmas is always one I listen to. Seriously, who the fuck forgets the pepperoni?
