Al Jazeera denounces YouTube’s compliance with Zionist ban on network ( www.aljazeera.com )

Al Jazeera has condemned YouTube’s compliance with an Israeli law banning the network’s livestreams in the country, warning that the move signals how major tech companies can be “co-opted as instruments of regimes hostile to freedom”....

technocrit OP ,

Don't forget what they did to TikTok when they come for "social media".

Lemmy could be next.

technocrit ,

the text editor when I try to resize text, it just ruins it and gets blurry sometimes.

I dunno what you're doing but... When you resize text, you usually want to select the text and increase the font size. Sometimes you can render to vector and resize that. But if you resize the text as pixels, then it'll probably look bad. Generally I try not to render text to pixels or do that last if necessary.

technocrit ,

Since no one else has said it... Pixelorama is somewhat focused on making pixel art and animations, but it's great at what it does.

Are you using a VPN?

It's always been sketchy for me but it almost never works when I use VPN.

IG is 100% not a drug.

And those of y'all who are promoting this pseudo-science are part of the problem. Look at what y'all did to TikTok. Wacky liberal lemmings handing the internet over to literal fascists.

Literally nobody mentioning what happened to TikTok after that sinophobic pogram. Peeps are just excited for round 2.

technocrit ,

You've been making pseudo-scientific statements with no evidence for a decade? Brave.

technocrit ,

It really is!

No it's not. That's absolute pseudo-science. Not even close to reality.

Try actual drugs sometime. Very very different.

technocrit ,

moral panic about social media in a way that is extremely unproductive, dangerous and ultimately a distraction from the actual issues at hand.

100%. Yeah that's the point. If there's any alternative narrative, hegemony stirs up a panic then takes over control.

Just look at what happened with TikTok. A bunch of obvious fascists started up a campaign. A bunch of liberals and other obvious fascists took it over... Now we have fash tiktok.

The people foaming at the mouth in this comm want to do it all over again with every form of "social media". It's gonna be rich when they come for Lemmy.

technocrit ,

All of these platforms are actively detrimental to our mental health and destabilizing society.

According to you? How do you feel about the TikTok takeover? Anxiously awaiting the same for Lemmy?

technocrit ,

Yes they are. That's what Fox news does. It curates content specifically for their wacky users.

Whether they use an "algorithm" or not is a meaningless difference based on luddism.

technocrit ,

Murder =/= social media.

It's pretty sad that I have to say this. People are really losing their minds of this "social media" hype.

technocrit ,

Agreed, but now they have tools that enable them to do it with unprecedented impact.

Yes tools like TikTok that libs lobbied to hand to fascists. Now they want more of the same.

technocrit ,

Who is downvoting this? jfc...

People here are rabid about this "social media" but give a pass to literal fascism.

technocrit ,

Lemmy might fit within the technical definition of social media, but don’t be so obtuse as to equate an anonymous community message board with the likes of Facebook and IG that are tied to your identity,

Do you really think the state and its fascists care about this differentiation?

They will literally come after Lemmy the first chance that they get. Far more so than insiders like zuck, musk, etc.

And it will be at least partially a result of y'all libs calling for it based on this wacky pseudo-science.

technocrit , (edited )

Y'all are literally calling for this website to be banned for the sake of pseudo-science.

Lots of people are interested in this. You're actively helping the worst.

technocrit ,

100%. Haven't these people been watching what happened to TikTok?

Or are they in denial because they were just as rabid about attacking TikTok?

technocrit ,

The "social media is a drug" people are interested in using this pseudo-science to promote more of their propaganda and eliminate counter-narratives.

TikTok? Anybody remember what happened there? Exactly this.

technocrit ,

Social media is a drug tho. Gotta bomb them too.

technocrit , (edited )

"IG is a drug"

This is not just pseudo-science. It's literally a false statement. Maybe it's a metaphor but science is not a metaphor. Metaphor's are generally a bad foundation for actions based on reality.

It's ok if people want to compare "social media" to a drug, but there's any meaningful evidence for those claims either so that's pseudo-science too. Notice how all the arguments against "social media" here are based on feelings, stories, etc. while there's zero scientific evidence.

technocrit ,

Critical support.

(People can't be very critical of capitalism while promoting "ownership" as the alternative. Ownership is a major foundation for capitalism. I've seen this kind of meme before and I don't think it's a helpful approach. Feels like libertarianism/recuperation.)

technocrit ,

I’m still getting used to the idea of no “panel” (tasks bar),

I'm using Debian/Plasma and I have a task bar. Maybe it's optional or depends on environment?

Now you're making me think I should get rid of my task bar...

technocrit , (edited )

Don't forget USAian propaganda. By far the most prevalent under that regime.

technocrit ,

Math? What a wacky overstatement...

technocrit ,

What you described is a state enemy used to deflect attention from the many enemies within this state.

technocrit ,

It's safe to assume that the enemy is promoting propaganda while our noble nation is promoting the truth!!! \s

technocrit ,

Zuck is genocidal creep. Zero surprise.

technocrit ,

This and zionism were the whole point of the attack on TikTok that the libs fully supported.

Now the libs want to attack "social media" in general.

technocrit ,

Yeah the attack on TikTok is a bipartisan (aka zionist) endeavour.

technocrit ,

TikTok was a weak spot for the zionist majority, thus it's destruction has bipartisan support.

2024 was the last time we will have come to a semblance of a fair election

USA has never had a fair election. It's never had a fair election system. It's just some scheme concocted so literal enslavers can maintain their disgusting privilege.

technocrit ,

Or maybe don't let billionaire fascists make everything fascist?

Fucking libs supported this all the way.

Liberalism <---> Fascism.

technocrit ,

I hope tik tok crashes and burns. They did all of that, because Israel.

I hope the zionists regime crashes and burns. TikTok is just another victim. It's easy and socially acceptable to attack your fellow victims, but there's nothing to be gained by it.

technocrit ,

^ Is this a message from 1776?

technocrit ,

Reverse colonizers.

technocrit ,

The media actively whitewashes all of this. What other convicted felon (rapist) would get a pass like this?

It's absolutely "hilarious" when NPR calls him "President Trump" and not "convicted felon Trump" or "rapist Trump". NPR is supposedly some liberal bastion of honesty, etc. But they're absolute bootlicking enablers.

Liberalism <---> Fascism.

Why should everybody get speech for free when the Ellisons have to pay so much for it? \s

technocrit , (edited )

Probably fake. What kind of idiot takes crypto advice from their kid at the height of a rally? After like 18 years of this...

It's funny how people never post these memes about stocks or the constantly devaluing paper food chips covered in enslavers. Crypto has done extremely well since its invention in 2008, meanwhile the imperial USD has been losing as always for regular people. But somehow people are only mad at bitcoin? Still implicitly defending the imperial USD? That's a lifetime of indoctrination in action.

After comparing Alex Pretti to the BTK serial killer, Newsmax's Greg Kelly: "I can't just pretend because you're dead, you're like the superior person" ( www.mediamatters.org )

"Let's see, baseball, rode a bike - that could be me, except for the part where I go out and do something incredibly stupid. All those things - Boy Scout, outdoorsman, right? You know who that is? A lot of people. Dennis Rader, the BTK killer, was all those things. Dennis Rader, remember him? He's the beat, bind, torture and...

technocrit OP Mod ,

This is Newsmax so the bar is exceedingly low. Beneath the floorboards.

technocrit OP Mod ,

It's basically Comedy Central v.2
