Okay, how does this explain the Boomers and up who seem to only be capable of using Facebook?

Like, if it’s about adaptation, they had email and SMS long before Meta started their “clean” version of MySpace that has gotten so much worse than what it replaced.

I’m stuck with a yearly Christmas card from a lot of older relatives because they can’t manage to step back an use services they did use before the big tech algorithmic fuckery took over.

It’s a Scientology sleepover, so…

I keep watching RISC, running a lot of ARM stuff now expecially with Pis using it, but getting out of the licensing mess altogether seems like what we should all be aiming for. Plus it’s getting more advanced, and there are more things compiled for it, even RISC repos for distros designed to run on the chips.

This is the way.

True, when they had humans working for them it wasn’t so bad, there was variance in how they responded to the company position and they could think rather than follow a checklist.

And yet the pipeline works because it’s an “inside” thing, the more people who see and recognize the dog whistles the less likely it is to spread with people remaining unaware that is is.

The “indoctrination” is just another Satanic Panic, the dumbest things you have ever heard being repeated enough by “trusted” sources it becomes fact to them.

It’s Meta and Xitter now, though, not James Dobson on AM radio.

Sadly accurate, but it has been wilful ignorance, now it is enforced by what the machines think we want to see.

I think it is worse now, than before, it was a lot easier to pick up that “other” newspaper than it is to break out of your algorithm.

I am a firm believer in “There is no better disinfectant than sunlight.”

I want to see the most vile aspects of people, I want it to be on full display so we know who they are, and we can counter them directly.

I think the algorithm has done a MASSIVE amount of damage by cordoning things off and creating little pockets of filth festering in darkness out of view until it overflows and spills out on us all.
