People should really think about how much money is wasted on bullshit laws.

Imagine all the advances in science we could be making, all the homes we could be building, and all the children we could be feeding.

But instead, we spend money to ensure rich people can make more money.

It’s fucked.

“Intimidation is the tactic,”

Yes, absolutely. There is a war against free speech and they’re trying to make people afraid to even fight back.

It’s west virginia, so yeah.

Hmm, they may have changed it or I could be misremembering.

Desktop mode also allows you to play a video while your screen is off which is good for listening to music.

You don’t know what projection means.

Welcome to the war on independence.

You’re either loyal to the tribe, or an enemy.

They’re indoctrinated beyond belief.

You’re either with them, or against them.

starting in 2030

What? Nebula is a paid streaming service. It’s also centralized. Peertube is free and decentalized.

They are not the same which is why Peertube is a legitimate successor to youtube and nebula is not.

Apple users love having control taken away from them so I never factor them in when giving tech-related advice.

The saddest thing is, the bad people are the ones who fight back (in their minds.)

Stockholm syndrome is a very scary condition.

You can block ads on youtube on mobile devices by using firefox in desktop mode with ublock origin.

Fuck youtube. Fuck ads. Fuck useful idiots defending either.

The competition for youtube is peertube, not another centralized platform.

It just needs content.

Power-tripping mods are the bane of the modern internet.

But unfortunately, it still is the best option for a modern day message board.

For small communities that don’t have a significant lemmy presence? Sure, for now.

I’m never going back to a community that can remove news-related posts without a modlog. That’s just asking for censorship and abuse by bad actors.

This is why freedom of speech is important and why it’s important to argue specifics instead of generalities.

It’s easy to say something is “antisemitic” and get an emotional response from useful idiots. It’s a lot harder to explain why something is antisemitic and get the same response if it’s not actually antisemitic.

College students are easily subjugated.

I’d legit settle for us no longer being useful idiots in our social circles.

i.e. being proud to pay for things we can get for free while complaining we don’t have enough money.
