Russia Officially Becomes World's 4th Largest Economy, Passing Japan ( substack.com )

marathon OP , 1 year ago

Russia is a kleptocracy, a massive mafia state run by a dim-witted dictator. All this vatnik propaganda is wild, man. If their economy is so good, why can’t they build any more T-92s? Why are they using defective artillery shells they bought from NORTH KOREA?! Give me a break!

I think you're a little confused. Replace Russia with Ukraine and then you'll be 100% accurate. Being a Russia hater with nonsense like this, doesn't look well on you. Do some research and you'll learn that the production lines are booming. Of course you won't get accurate information from our MSM.

As for the photos reappearing after a factory reset of the device, there is no confirmed case by Apple about this ever happening, so I wouldn’t take this claim seriously.

OK So probably klickbait. Please don't hesitate to delete.

marathon OP , 1 year ago

Too bad most commenting haven't read the interview (what else is new, eh?). I like this, Jack Dorsey responding to a question on how the US government had its hooks into Twitter's leadership before the buyout:

I think it was problematic, and I also don't think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests. The U.S. is certainly one of them. Twitter has a track record of fighting the U.S. on free speech causes, especially around transparency reports. Opening the lens even broader to other governments, we had even more fights. Tons of fights with India, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria. These are all governments that threatened arrest of our employees, raided our employees' homes, offices, asking for phone numbers and personal information for accounts that were critical of the governments. I think that was one part that's overlooked and not appreciated.

marathon OP , 1 year ago

At least Dorsey is thinking about social platforms, problems. Did you even read the post or simply spouting what your tribe says in your echo chamber?

marathon OP , 1 year ago

No. He wouldn’t be happy with ActivityPub as well. He imagines a social network where no one can perform any moderation. He favours Nostr for exactly that reason. Bluesky has got moderation (just like the Fediverse) - which he dislikes.

So? Like Usenet was back in the day before it became a pirate haven. Then email lists became it. LOL, People tend to ignore the extreme nut jobs regardless. I never saw any child porn on Usenet, but then I didn't go looking for it. No doubt it existed too.

marathon OP , 1 year ago

Moderation should always be client side. Server side should not be able to interfere or even read public content

Yup. I don't know if I agree re public content, but perhaps private messages should be encrypted, client side, before sending? That issue is one that bothers me about Mastodon.

this guy is 100% committed to give nazis a platform, right?

I think you mean — speech you don't like. Where do you draw the line?

marathon , 1 year ago

Well, literal Nazis would be a good start.

The problem is that most of the blocking is simply because people don't like the speech. This is a huge concern for any liberal democracy. Free speech is a right, and that means speech that one doesn't necessarily like!

marathon , 1 year ago

Not correct. It's a human right regardless whether you believe it or not. https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/article/freedom-expression-fundamental-human-right#:~:text=Freedom%20of%20expression%20is%20a,Universal%20Declaration%20of%20Human%20Rights.

Just because America doesn't allow free speech on their social applications doesn't make it right. Pull your head out of your arse. Yelling fire when there isn't a fire isn't an example of free speech you moron! We're talking about political free speech.

Britain Is Leaving the U.S. Gender-Medicine Debate Behind ( www.theatlantic.com )

marathon OP , 1 year ago

This entire controversy reminds me of the repressed memories episode we had in the 80s. The social worker/psychiatry medical profession attached great credence to these so-called repressed memories. People were tried and convicted on this “science” which was eventually found out to be junk “science” under rigorous scientific examination. I know personally of an individual who was convicted and later pardoned due to this trash “science”. These social issues need to be critiqued and investigated seriously before implementation. Unfortunately, in North America it’s more of a political thing than a scientific based idea. Eventually, it will be determined to be as junk science by western medicine, as repressed memories were. It’s just common sense. That’s why critics are so rigorously silenced — the proponents of this gender “science” know that it is shite. Adults are free to do what they wish to their bodies, but we should never be doing gender reassignment to children under the age of majority (18 years old) at a minimum. Children’s brains aren’t mature or developed enough to be making these profound decisions for their body. Neither should the parents be allowing this, child abuse.

Well, I’m a lefty and anybody with any common sense knows that this is wrong. It’s just critical thinking skills that are missing, in my opinion.
