what I'm amazed by is that those who would benefit most from socialism are the ones who call it "handouts" and vote against it

the only social media I have is Lemmy and mastodon. I prefer Lemmy to mastodon. (I also have kbin)

I quit Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. because of content manipulation. They suppress posts against their agenda and promote those for their agenda. I always knew this, but when I realized I was being influenced, I deleted my accounts and quit.

Only things I'll use now are open source, decentralized, and non profit owned. (I'll gladly donate)

I went Gentoo to Debian to Arch.

Gentoo took too much time to maintain. (Not just compile time. But also human time editing config files).

Debian was great, until I had new hardware that needed a recent kernel and Wayland. i tried testing but that wasn't stable enough and took too much of my time maintaining.

I'm using arch now. i would only switch if they do something egregious (push ads, malware or snap)

lmao. he didn't have the courage to speak out against trump publicly. he didn't have the courage to endorse Harris. he did what he was supposed to do and what any law abiding citizen would have done in his place.

 

or be boring and alias sl=ls

 

Unpaid Basar journalists write story following up on the tragic death of a six-month-old girl who had got caught in a crossfire the previous year as well as landmine deaths in the region. They also report on conditions of new schools, the salaries of teachers and the implementation of government schemes in the area.

One of the authors is murdered and his body is found in a septic tank in the area near his home. He was 32 years old. The main suspect was Contractor Suresh Chandrakar, who had recently had an extravagant wedding for which he’d used a helicopter and organised Russian dancers, and was a distant relative of the victim.

Dear Mark, I hope this finds you well. I noticed something interesting today - it seems Instagram is blocking links to my little open-source project. You know, the one that lets people share photos without harvesting their personal data or forcing algorithmic feeds on them. I have to admit, I'm flattered. Who would've thought a small team of volunteers could build something that would catch your attention? We're just trying to give people a choice in how they share their memories online. No VCs, no surveillance capitalism, just code and community. Remember when Facebook started? It was about connecting people, not maximizing engagement metrics. Our project might be tiny compared to Instagram, but we're staying true to that original spirit of social media - giving people control over their online presence without turning them into products. You could've ignored us. Instead, by blocking our links, you've given us the best endorsement we could ask for. You've confirmed what we've been saying all along - that big tech is more interested in protecting their walled gardens than fostering genuine innovation. Every time you block a link to our platform, you remind people why we built it in the first place. Your action tells them there are alternatives worth exploring, ones that respect their privacy and agency. So thank you, Mark. You've turned our little project into a symbol of resistance against digital monopolies.
